My Girlfriend is a Mermaid!?

The release of My Girlfriend is a Mermaid!? on Switch in the west may not be as certain as originally thought. Sekai Project has opened a Kickstarter, with the goal set at $12,000. It’ll have a month to reach that target.

My Girlfriend is a Mermaid!? is already confirmed for Switch in Japan, courtesy of Cosen. Sekai Project, who would publish the visual novel in the west, says it needs a sign of fans’ support to show that there’s interest in the west.

On the bright side, My Girlfriend is a Mermaid!? is already off to a fast start. A little over a third of the target goal has been raised thus far. You can contribute here.
