Akio Watanabe (Director and Character Designer) Fumio (Game illustrator) Frontwing Co., Ltd. (株式会社フロントウイング, Kabushiki-gaisha Furonto Uingu) is a Japanese visual novel studio known for the production of adult bishōjo games.

[2] Since the company's founding in 1999 as a bishōjo games developer and the release of Frontwing's first title, Canary (Canaria: Kono Omoi o Uta ni Nosete) in August 2000, it has published over 20 titles in the visual novel genre.

[3] In regards to the Djibril series, writer Naoki Miyamoto, author of the book "Adult Games: Introduction to Cultural Studies”,[4] has pointed out why there is a big demand for such works: “If the one to fight is a beautiful heroine, the risks she takes stimulate people's erotic imagination.”[5] In 2011, the first installment of the Grisaia series, The Fruit of Grisaia, won first place in the Moe Game Award.

[7] Frontwing marked its first venture into the overseas market May 29, 2015, with the English release of The Fruit of Grisaia on Steam.

The company has since established its own in-house translation team, which made its debut with the English release of The Leisure of Grisaia on May 18, 2016.
