Hanabee Entertainment has added a new license for their 2014 release schedule that will be hitting sooner rather than later with Say “I Love You”. The series will be landing in February 2014 on DVD with the original Japanese language track and the English language dub.  This is just two months after Sentai Filmworks releases it in North America which certainly cuts down the window between regions a bit, though Australian fans won’t be getting the Blu-ray that Sentai Filmworks has decided to release. The series was previously simulcast through Crunchyroll to much of the world.

Plot concept: Friends suck, and trusting someone is just setting yourself up. That’s the lesson Mei Tachibana learned after her heart was ripped out and only a shell was left where a girl used to be. But unlike so many, she found an easy solution: she’ll never make another friend. Ever. Okay, maybe that’s not as easy as it sounds, but it’s worked for Mei. Or at least it did. Until handsome, charming and annoyingly popular Yamato Kurosawa came along. Because for some freakish reason, he seems to like Mei. He even gave her his phone number! As if she would ever call him. Except she did. But only because she needed help. Still, he came. He actually came. And now things are getting way too complicated. Mei’s no princess in a tower. She’s not waiting for a knight in shining armor to rescue her. So why did he have to kiss her and confuse everything? And why are those three little words so hard to say? Between heartbeats, behind trembling lips, and unspoken with every breath, the specter of betrayals past, future and present now haunt them both in SAY “I LOVE YOU.”
