Bees!?
 
Well it looks like there's another ASW RPG, this time on Vita and PS3:

Some info on Mato Kurenai Yuugekitai have surfaced, so I'll just post what I can make out. As others have mentioned, it's a game by Shuuhou Imai, the man behind Tokyo Majin Gakuen Denki series.

Title : Mato Kurenai Yuugekitai
Platform : PS3/Vita
Publisher : Arc System Works
Developer : Toybox http://www.toybox-games.jp/
Release Date : 2014
Genre : Adventure RPG

Director : Shuuhou Imai
Producer : Tomio Kanazawa
Character Design : Chinatsu Kurahana http://www.chroma.cc/
OP Theme Song : Nobuo Uematsu, THE KEY PROJECT
OP Movie : Kouya Takahashi http://www.takahashi-koya.com/

Mato Kurenai Yuugekitai is the third title in the Gakuen Denki Juvenile series. There are a total 13 chapters, each chapter consists of an adventure part and a battle part. Three characters are shown; [a girl] in sailor uniform, a guy in wheelchair wearing specs, and a busty chief editor. The characters are animated using Live Motion Effect, similar to Motion Portrait found in Haruhi Suzumiya no Yakusoku and Toradora! Portable for PSP.

Odd that Toybox (Harvest Moon creator's company, making Hometown Story on 3DS) is the developer, showing that ASW is willing to outsource after all, intriguing!

Wonder if they did so with the other RPG's I listed in the OP?
 
ASW just announced their full TGS line-up, giving more info on the OP RPGs and the one RPG for both PS3 and Vita:

- BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma (PS3, 10/24) – 2D fighting + visual novel game
- Getsuei Gakuen -kou- (PS Vita, 10/10) – academy romance adventure
- Mato Kurenai Yuugekitai (PS3, PS Vita, 2014) – Gakuen juvenile romance adventure + RPG
- Seisou no Amazones (3DS, 11/14) – dungeon RPG
- Sword and Darkness (3DS eShop, winter 2013) – 2D action RPG
- Damascus Gear: Tokyo Shisen (PS Vita DL, winter 2013) – slash-type RPG
- Fantasy Hero: Unsigned Legacy (PS Vita DL, winter 2013) – slash-type RPG

- Magical Beat (PS Vita DL, winter 2013) – puzzle action
- Tottemo E Mahjong Plus (Unannounced, Pending) – table game
 
It's amazing to me that developers can get away charging 6,000 JPY for 3DS games. And they wonder why people are abandoning traditional consoles in favor of mobile?
