Meet the Witch boy Magical piece Main Cast!

Earlier on, Sekai Project announced at their Otakon panel that they’re aiming to localize the unique Witch boy Magical piece game for the PC! The game details an alien invasion by the mysterious Creatures, and how the main cast banded together in an attempt to defeat them. These Creatures couldn’t be harmed by conventional methods, such as firearms or any physical attacks, so a private military company has conducted research to successfully reverse-engineer a power from the alien world to have a chance to fight back against the Creatures. This power is wielded by the men of the Magical Pieces squad, turning them into Witches…which changes their physical bodies from male to female! While their hearts remain the same, they get to form a more intimate relationship with each other, which prompts them to go on an exploration of their own gender identity, asking themselves: “If I had been born a girl, could I have become his girlfriend?” or “Which side of me did he fall in love with, my female self or my male self?” As they face their enemy, and themselves, how will the come to see the future?

Let’s meet the main cast of the game!

Cynthia Nendoroid Now on US Pokemon Center Webshop!

Quite awhile ago, back in February, the Cynthia Nendoroid was announced to be released as an exclusive to Pokemon Center shops in Japan and then on Amazon.jp. Several other independent shops like the Sunyshore Pokemart were able to secure some units for sale, making the Nendoroid slightly easier to obtain…but, the units up for sale online were not many.

However…!!!

Sekai Project To Localize Witch Boy Magical Piece Via Kickstarter

2015 has been a really strong year for otome games being localized and released, which has pleased many fans as well as gaining the interest of many new players. It’s only natural that the BL (Boy’s Love) genre be next, right? Sekai Project is aiming to localize Witch boy Magical piece, but they need our help to make that a reality! Witch boy Magical piece is made by Rosemary House, and it’s originally a mobile game that’s still being updated regularly. Through the Kickstarter campaign, the game will be ported to be playable on PC instead, so more people have a chance to play it. Since the BL genre is showing to have more of an audience, having more localized BL games to choose from is definitely appealing.
