Yuzusoft's visual novels keep selling, with Sanoba Witch passing 500,000 copies worldwide as of August 2026. Its 2016 title Senren * Banka is set for an anime adaptation in 2027, and its songs are being packaged as paid DLC for a PC rhythm game.
The four stories trace a brand whose back catalogue is being reissued, licensed, and adapted. The most recent is a figure of Kurumi Kokumobari from Tenshi Sōzō RE-BOOT, made by Alice Glint at 1/7 scale with a pose design by Haruka Komowata and a July 2027 release date. That follows October 2026 news that Yuzusoft's opening themes, among them Senren * Banka's Koi Koi Enishi and Sanoba Witch's Koi Seyo Otome!, have been added as a paid music pack to the PC rhythm game Yunyun Denpa Syndrome.
The sales record is the more substantive thread. Yuzusoft announced on August 7 that Sanoba Witch had passed 500,000 copies worldwide, up from 300,000 in December 2024. The Steam all-ages version holds 98 percent positive reviews from 9,488 user reviews, and 95.4 percent of the full HD version's reviews are in Simplified Chinese. The same pattern holds for Senren * Banka, which passed 1 million copies in February 2026 and whose Steam reviews are about 92.65 percent Simplified Chinese. Both games' numbers point to Chinese-speaking players as the bulk of the audience.
The adaptation push is the newest development. At the Yuzu Soft Songfes 2026 event on July 26, the company announced that Senren * Banka will get an anime in 2027, with the game's original voice cast returning and KOTOKO performing the opening song. The copyright lists wwwave, a studio known for shorter-format episodes, and the announcement did not specify a format or episode count.

Yuzusoft announced on August 7 that its bishoujo adventure game Sanoba Witch has surpassed 500,000 copies sold worldwide. The original 18+ PC version launched in February 2015, meaning the milestone took roughly 11 years to reach. The game follows protagonist Shuuji Hoshina, who can sense others' feelings, and his classmate Nene Akechi, who becomes aroused as the cost of a magical contract. Other heroines include Meguru Inaba, who struggles to make friends, and Tsubasa Shiiba, who dresses in male clothing as her contract's cost. The all-ages version on Steam has received 98% positive reviews from 9,488 user reviews, earning an 'Overwhelmingly Positive' status. According to Steam Scout data, 95.4% of the full HD version's reviews are in Simplified Chinese, 3.6% in Traditional Chinese, and 0.4% in Japanese. In December 2024, sales were reported at 300,000 copies, meaning an additional 200,000 copies sold over the following year and a half. The game was also adapted into a manga. Yuzusoft's Senren * Banka surpassed 1 million copies in February 2026, and Sanoba Witch appears to be following similar success.
Visual novel developer Yuzu Soft announced during its Yuzu Soft Songfes 2026 event on July 26 that its 2016 visual novel Senren * Banka will receive an anime adaptation premiering in 2027.

Singer KOTOKO, who performed the visual novel's opening theme, will also perform the anime's opening song. The announcement did not specify the anime's format or episode count. The visual novel, released in Japan in July 2016 for Yuzu Soft's 10th anniversary, has sold over 1 million units worldwide as of February 2026.
