Good news for fans of the Umihara Kawase series: the latest entry won’t be staying in Japan. Developer Agatsuma Entertainment has confirmed plans to bring the 3DS game overseas.

Agatsuma general manager Rica Kuno Matsumara said:

“Yes, we are planning to release [Farewell Umihara Kawase] in future, but not fixed anything yet. Maybe we will discuss during E3 with other new titles?”

Code of Princess made it to North America through Atlus. Maybe the two companies could work together for Umihara Kawase?
