JRPG fans will be pleased to know that the demo for Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is out now on Playstation Network, according to SiliconEra.com! Co-developed by Studio Ghibli and Level-5, this demo is sure to give players a good feel for the game, and it’s unique fantasy setting. Studio Ghibli, as many of you may know is the animation studio behind critically acclaimed masterpieces such as Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle.

The animation style of the game is heavily reminiscent of other Ghibli productions, such as Ponyo and My Neighbor Totoro. Make sure to check out the demo soon if you own a Playstation 3! Expected release date for the game is 22nd January, 2013.

Japanese game developer 5pb. opened a teaser website for its new game Hanasaku Manimani last week. 5pb. is developing the original otome game (game aimed at female players), and supercell member redjuice is providing character designs.

Last week’s issue of Enterbrain’s Weekly Famitsu magazine revealed that the game will be released for the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 3 platforms. Release date, pricing, and other information will be announced in the future.

Previously, redjuice designed characters for the 2011 television anime series Guilty Crown and provided costume design for Sega’s Hatsune Miku -Project DIVA- and Hatsune Miku-Project DIVA- 2nd games. He has also drawn illustrations for some of supercell’s music album and single releases, and his next anime project is Vividred Operation.
