From the Press Release:

From the masters of localization at MangaGamer comes a stunning linguistic achievement - a yuri visual novel that will teach readers Esperanto - The Expression: Amrilato!

At first glance, The Expression: Amrilato is an all-ages yuri tale of a girl named Rin who's suddenly whisked away to another world, a rather common tale in anime, manga, and games. Yet what truly makes The Expression: Amrilato so unique and wonderful is the language barrier Rin faces. Though the girl who takes Rin in, Ruka, speaks a small spattering of Rin's language, the language of this other world is entirely foreign and unknown to Rin. Lost in a world where she's unable to communicate with others, Rin and the reader both must struggle together to learn the language of the world she finds herself in, which is represented with the actual language, Esperanto.

The Expression Amrilato

High schooler Rin was just buying a snack in her hometown’s shopping district一but she gets a shock when her surroundings suddenly transform. 

"...Why is the sky pink...?"

She should know this area well, but the unreadable letters on the signs and the strange language the people are speaking have made things unrecognizable.

...Just then, Ruka, a girl so cute she could be an idol, appears and extends a helping hand.Rin, a high schooler who claims to have positivity in spades, and Ruka, a supportive girl who speaks just a smattering of Japanese.

This is the story, pure and sometimes frustrating, of two girls intertwined by their fumbling efforts to communicate.
