YUZU SOFT(Japanese:Yuzu Soft, Chinese:Yuzusoft) is a Galgame development company under the Japanese corporation JUNOS.
Introduction
YUZU SOFT (Yuzusoft) was formerly a dōjin circle formed by six formerStudio Mebiusemployees (Famishin, Kobuichi, Muririn, Amamiya Ritsu, Senri, RODO) called "TEAM-EXODUS". Later, based on this, Yuzusoft was established with Famishin as the legal representative.
On July 28, 2006, YUZU SOFT released its debut work, "Bra-Ban! -The bonds of melody-". The early works had a style that was quite different and more diverse than later ones, but they did not cause much of a stir. It wasn't until 2009's "Tenshin Ranman: Lucky or Unlucky!?" that YUZU SOFT began to make a name for itself, entering the top sales rankings; this work also established the moe style of its subsequent titles. Since 2015's "Sanoba Witch", YUZU SOFT's works have achieved great success, consistently topping the sales charts and gaining significant popularity outside of Japan. The latest work, "LimeLight Lemonade Jam", was officially released on September 26, 2025."
On July 30, 2021, YUZU SOFT announced the official establishment of a new brandYUZUSOFT SOUR, to release all-ages titles. The following day, the first work of the voice series YSMR (i.e., "YUZU SOFT's ASMR") was released.
