Shiravune Announces Dark Thriller Eroge–Ouju: Isle of the Accursed
On August 4th, 2026 publisher Shiravune announced on Twitter/X that the recent smash-hit dark eroge from CLOCKUP known as Ouju no Shima would be receiving an English translation under the title of Ouju: Isle of the Accursed. A release date hasn’t been announced yet.
Ouju: Isle of the Accursed was the first eroge illustrated by the famous Hamashima Shigeo in six years. Shigeo is known mainly for her other work with developer CLOCKUP such as euphoria and Maggot Baits as well as her collaboration with NITRO PLUS in Mojika.
Ouju is the directorial debut of longtime CLOCKUP employee Hanagasa Mizuki and features scenario writing from Kurashiki Tatsuya as well as some additional writing courtesy of Fuyuno Hyouya, Kurisu, and the legendary Izumi Ban’ya.
Story
The year is 2019, a year where two eras, Heisei and Reiwa, intersect.
In the Seto Inland Sea, the island of Sarubotoke has discreetly flourished as a den of prostitution ever since the war.
On one side is the Futatsuguri clan, the most influential family on the island that has been running its pleasure industry since the Showa era.
On the other is a motley group of four gathered from different corners of the underworld, each having crossed to the island for their own reasons.
And on both sides, a cursemonger: shamans who perform assassinations via cursecraft. The perfect crime in the modern age.
Set against the backdrop of this lawless island, a battle of wills unfolds.
And behind it all, a terrible curse as old as the war itself has been lurking in the shadows for 70 years.
Characters
Togetsu Kan (VA: Inari Uzuki)
Togetsu Kan is a rogue shaman hired by the Arai Group, who curses people to death for a living. This middle-aged man gives off a somewhat listless impression and adopts a cool and breezy attitude. He seems to have had some kind of connection to the Futatsuguri family, but he refuses to speak much about his past.
Fuminari Shuzou (VA: Nikoichi)
Fuminari Shuzou is a shaman allied with the Futatsuguri family, who curses people to death for a living. This forty-something man is rather sarcastic and speaks with a cynical tone and attitude. Although it has been several decades since he lost his childhood teacher Enju, he is unable to let her go.
Futatsuguri Tamayo (VA: Fujino Murasaki)
Futatsuguri Tamayo is the next in line to succeed the Futatsuguri family, the island’s wealthy but cursed bloodline. This young lady is wise and compassionate, and she manages the household in place of her aging, bedridden father, Yoshinobu. Even so, she holds a distaste for the ill fates that revolve around her bloodline and curses in general.
Higa Shinobu (VA: Aoi Tokio)
Higa Shinobu is a freelance hitman hired by the Arai Group to cross over to Sarubotoke to achieve a certain objective. This woman is a dangerous maverick, but hides a gentle heart deep inside. Tattooed on her back is the image of a hellish oni, but its origin remains a mystery.
Iguchi Himena (VA: Imaya Minami)
Iguchi Himena is the most sought-after escort in King’s Castle, a brothel in Sarubotoke’s red-light district. She came to the island from Tokyo, hearing rumors of lucrative pay. While relaxed and easygoing, her gorgeous looks and stunning figure never fail to turn heads.
Kano (VA: Watame Tabeko)
Kano is one of the four who cross over to Sarubotoke to achieve a certain objective. Her current “guardian” is Arai Zenjiro, whom she affectionately refers to as “Uncle”.
