Idea Factory has announced that Monster Monpiece is coming to PlayStation Vita via the PlayStation Network in North America on 5/27 and Europe on 5/28. This is the game that unexpectedly received a localization back in January and received some controversy afterwards from Western fans for the localized version getting censored.
The story of Monster Monpiece is summarized below:
Story
God’s hammer struck twice, punishing the world of Yafaniel below…
In the world of Yafaniel, humans and an unusual species called “monster girls” coexist. May Esperio, an Academy student from Kunaguva, is training hard to become a “master” of monster girls with her best friends, Elza and Karen. However, after an encounter with a mysterious stranger, Elza became “Lost”, a victim of a strange affliction that plagues both humans and monster girls. Elza and the monster girls in her service have begun stealing the Magus Quartzes that are held in each of Yafaniel’s major cities. May decides to travel the world pursuing Elza in an attempt to cure her. However, May knows that if she fails to save Elza, the whole world may be destroyed!
