With help from Top Hat Studios QA team, we have extensively tested the game for the past 2 weeks or so and a lot of major issues were already sorted! However, as a game in development and a very early build, there is high likelihood that other things might come up when you play. Nevertheless, I wanted to keep my promise and make it available in 2022 before Christmas♥

I (Claudia) would have liked to work on it for another 1-2 months, but due to some important last-minute events I couldn't use the time that was originally planned. We want to emphasise that this is NOT a beta (strictly by definition) but an early preview for backers (something between alpha and beta). Although her in-game sprite, live2D model, and card art are unchanged, this redesign is used in the transformation sequence of Iroha・Yachiyo (Final Battle ver.Today is the day! The Closed Backer Preview can be played by all backers who have "Beta" in their reward! In the anime, her rope-and-bead headpiece is redesigned to instead have feathers or strips of fabric.She is shown to be a very good observer like a dedective.According to her Magical Girl story, her favourite food is Yakisoba noodles.This eventually results in the entire group splitting.

Yachiyo, Mifuyu, and Momoko then learn the truth: magical girls become witches. As Mel lays on the ground, with no grief seeds in sight, her witch then emerges. Mel predicts that "today will be lucky." They then find a witch that, when it nearly kills Yachiyo, has Mel use herself as a shield. One day, Tsuruno stays at her family restaurant as the others go hunting. Soon, Tsuruno, Momoko, and Mel join, despite growing tensions between separate wards caused by less grief seeds. Despite this, they continue to cooperate together. The duo discover this, realizing what has become of their souls. During a fairly difficult fight, Kanae's soul gem is left ruptured from a powerful attack. Yachiyo in hiragana has no specific meaning, however if written with the kanji 八千代, it means “thousands of years”.Īs explained by Mifuyu and Touka in their presentation, Yachiyo and Mifuyu were partners who worked alongside other girls such as Kanae. Her actual ability allows her to inherit the hope of deceased magical girls that intrust their hope with her, which makes her so strong in battle. Her career is in modeling, hence her wish. She also purchases mugs for those who live at Mikazuki Villa. However, as she opens up to others, a kinder side can be seen.Īs a college student, Yachiyo has a habit of obsessing over store sales and clearances. Due to this, Yachiyo often comes off as cold and rude, due to her calm demeanor rarely showing any genuine emotion, making her an unsociable person at first. Yachiyo is a calm individual who usually prefers to work alone, fearing for the lives of other magical girls due to believing the effects of her wish, ‘to survive,’ were corrupted by Kyubey the effect being that if Yachiyo were to be in any situation where she shouldn’t be able to escape, another magical girl would die in her place. Yachiyo wields an intricately designed halberd that carries a blue, gold and silver color scheme. Additionally, she pairs her outfit with brown strapped wedges decorated with blue gems, and a headpiece, as well as a blue hairpin. She wears a blue moon pendant around her neck, visible just below her breastplate. She is also often seen wearing various other stylish outfits.Īs a Magical Girl, she wears a blue star-covered dress with a large thigh-high left slit, a gold-trimmed silver breastplate, brown gloves with yellow details and golden trinkets. White polka dots can be seen at the skirt alongside a trim of the same color. A white collar acts as the dress' sleeves. Instead of a uniform, her normal wear is that of a black dress tied at the middle with ribbon.

Unlike most others, Yachiyo is a college student. Compared to other girls such as Iroha and Mami, she is taller. Nanami is a slim young woman with straight, dark blue hair and bright cobalt eyes.
