During this year’s Anime NYC that happened from November 19 to November 21, 2021, English publisher Mangagamer announced the localization of the BL game UuultraC by ADELTA alongside other non-BL localizations.
Summary from Mangagamer:
From ADELTA of Hashihime of the Old Book Town fame, comes a brand new Boy’s Love pro-wrestling kaiju drama set in the 1970s – UUUltraC!
A golden era of artists, actors, and heroes is shaken to its core when kaiju straight out of black & white cinema attack Japan! One couple falls victim to the attacks and must face the reality of the kaiju’s infectious nature turning others into more kaiju and join the fight for acceptance. One couple must deal with the strain and stress of fighting the kaiju and defending the people as the superhero team, Icarus Rangers. And one couple must struggle with their complex relationships with both sides of the kaiju versus hero battles.
With kaiju, heroes, robots, and more abound, you won’t want to miss this homage to classic tokusatsu and its deep exploration of identity and one’s place in the world!
UuultraC is ADELTA’s third title after Cocoon and Hashihime of the Old Book Town (the latter I reviewed a while ago). It takes place in a 1970’s Japan and follows 3 protagonists and their love interest whose life gets turned upside down when kaiju (Godzilla-sized creatures) suddenly attack Japan.
Like for Hashihime, UuultraC will be translated by Dev, aka Frilly Fujoshi. ADELTA also shared their excitement on a blog post (in Japanese) you can read on their website.
The official English website does mention that it follows three “couples”, which means that each protagonist has a single love interest, versus the usual 3-5 love interests you must be familiar with.
