This marks the next chapter for the franchise, which has garnered a dedicated fanbase since its debut.
The announcement was made through an official press release and website, revealing the formation of a new animation studio, STUDIO OneRoom. The studio aims to produce original works, continuing the OneRoom legacy and introducing innovative ways to engage with fans. According to the statement, the guiding concept behind the project is “creating together with fans.”
OneRoom － Yui Hanasaka Memorial－ Novel Game Set for January 2025 Release
As the first major release under the “PROJECT OneLeaf” banner, a new novel game titled OneRoom － Yui Hanasaka Memorial－ will be launched on Steam on January 11, 2025. The date marks the anniversary of the first season of the OneRoom TV anime.
Priced at 500 yen (approximately $3.25 USD), the game invites players to revisit the story of Yui Hanasaka, voiced by M.A.O, one of the central heroines of the series. Players will step into the protagonist’s shoes once again, reliving key moments from the anime while experiencing new content, including a monologue by Yui that was not part of the original anime narrative.
The game offers a blend of original anime footage and new scenes, enhancing the emotional depth of the story. It will also feature a collection of exclusive materials, which players can unlock as a reward for completing the game.
A Return to OneRoom’s World
OneRoom is an omnibus-style short anime series that presents the protagonist’s interactions with various heroines from a first-person perspective. The series, known for its intimate storytelling, explores the protagonist’s evolving relationships with these heroines, each offering unique experiences and emotional connections. The characters were designed by renowned illustrator Kantoku, known for his work on The Hentai Prince and the Stony Cat and A Sister’s All You Need.
The first season of OneRoom premiered in 2017, followed by the second season in 2018, and the third season in 2020. The anime, produced by SMIRAL Animation, has been praised for its unique narrative style and the way it allows viewers to become emotionally invested in the protagonist’s relationships.
Crunchyroll currently streams all three seasons of OneRoom, describing the series as “a virtual anime project that unfolds across three distinct stories, each set in a different room, with the protagonist navigating life and love with the heroines.”
New Horizons for OneRoom Fans
With PROJECT OneLeaf, the team behind OneRoom is looking to expand the franchise into new forms of media, including the novel game and potentially more future projects. Fans can look forward to a deeper connection with their favorite characters, as well as opportunities to engage in the creation process, which the project aims to foster.
The announcement of OneRoom － Yui Hanasaka Memorial－ is just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting year for fans of the series.
