Interestingly, the title was previously planned for a much later release in April 2026, making this announcement a pleasant surprise for fans eagerly awaiting the English version.
The physical standard edition will come with a bonus set of five collectible trading cards, while the deluxe edition offers extra digital content, including short story additions and a digital soundtrack.
Designed as a ninja-themed otome experience, the game allows players to track affection levels through a unique Energy Reading system, revealing both emotional bonds and Ring Levels for each of the five romance options. Additional features include ninja scrolls that visualize the story’s timeline and a ranking system tied to the protagonist’s ninja status. The game supports Japanese voice acting with English subtitles.
For the Nintendo Switch version, the opening theme song titled “Flaming” is performed by Rico Sasaki, adding a dynamic musical touch to the experience.
Originally released in Japan for PlayStation Vita in 2018, the title later made its way to Nintendo Switch in early 2024. With its upcoming English launch, the game is now set to reach a much wider audience.
