Temirana: The Lucky Princess and the Tragic Knights (テミラーナ国の強運姫と悲運騎士団)

Release dates (Nintendo Switch) Japanese: April 27th, 2023 English: January 13th, 2026

"In this world, one's status and occupation are determined by the month they were born. In the eastern kingdom of Temirana, the third princess was born: a baby with a birthmark on her forehead.

This child was rumored to be the 'Cursed Princess,' and was forced to live in a house far from her family, away from the castle.

But things are about to change.

As her birthday approaches, she attends the dueling tournament known as Helis Duelm. There, she sees five men glowing with a dazzlingly strong light.

Indeed, the 'Cursed Princess' possessed a special and lucky power. Whenever her life might be in danger, people and places would shine as if to warn her.

Those acquainted with her power warn that those men may have shone because they were dangerous...but she knows their light is different from any she's seen before. Trusting her intuition, the princess invites the five men to join her order of knights.

However, some of them have no experience with the sword, and others lack interest in knighthood at all. Can the princess and her small company of five knights overcome the tragedy on the horizon?"

Opening Movie

Thanks for the ride together, everyone !

This channel was 2319 followers, 35k views for my most watched video (Saito Ginsei no Shou chapter 10), 4 years, 860 hours of work, approximately. So it’s a little bit of life that’s draining out of me.

Since it was also my main account, I also lost all my saved videos and private playlist and stuff, which sucks, honestly.

I will share my videos with another way, probably Bilibili or Dailymotion or both.

I’ll post them soon on these platforms.

This is not the end of me, though. As you may know, my videos are there to gain time but I am working on patching the games. My team is motivated and we are working hard. The videos are not my main goal, but a mean to make you wait agreeably before you get to experience the games yourself.

I still hope to get you to enjoy the Souma and Sakamoto routes of Ginsei no Shou, as well as the rest of Ten’un no Shou. I’ll do my best to reach back my audience, even if I only have tumblr and intagram, now.

Oh, and of course, as I always said, if localisation is announced, I am dropping it all and erasing my work.
