ARIA BLUE Multi-Perspective ADV Launches, Vol. 1 Set For January 28
Entergram and RICOL are building the title as a multi-part series where each installment hands the story to a different protagonist, so Vol. 1 is a stake in a longer narrative rather than a standalone release.
Reporting from 2 sources: 4Gamer.net, Automaton.
Entergram and RICOL announced ARIA BLUE on September 10, a multi-part youth fantasy ADV set in the northern town of Haguri-cho. Vol. 1, ARIA BLUE I. Natsune., releases January 28, 2027 for PC (Steam/Windows), Nintendo Switch 2, and PS5. Protagonist Tategawa Yuma moves from the city searching for his younger sister, who tells him she has no older brother. Two heroines, Suzue Shuka (CV: Hanai Wakana) and Mizugahara Oto (CV: Hasegawa Rena), anchor the story, and nine characters and cast members are introduced.
The first installment follows Tategawa Yuma, who leaves the city for Haguri-cho to look for the younger sister he was separated from in childhood. He takes a room at the student dormitory Mijin-so, meets the residents, and finds his sister, who tells him flatly that she has no older brother. A school building floating on a lake and two heroines, the painter Suzue Shuka and the dorm owner's daughter Mizugahara Oto, carry the summer that follows.
