Cherry Soft

Cherry Soft was a former adult game developer. The company operated under the brand name of the same name. Founded in 1998, releasing its first title Eien no Miyako that same year. After releasing over a dozen works, its final title, KYRIE: Blood Royal 3, was launched in January 2004. The company was later absorbed by its parent company, Agley Co., Ltd. In 2004, part of the staff became independent and founded Art Co., Ltd. (brand name Art). Other sister brands were also established, such as Cronus, created by illustrator Aoi Hatori, who had previously worked as staff at Cherry Soft. Across most of its works, Akira and Chunk were involved; notably, Akira served as the main illustrator for all Cherry Soft titles.
