This title should be "Arumana no Kiseki"

Hello. Thank you for your report.

Why should it be Arumana? I don't see anything on the Wikipedia page that is evidence of that. Does Arumana mean something in Japanese?

The game's identifying header bytes are "ARM", which suggests it should be Armana... or Almana if the use of R is an error (due to the R versus L problem in Japanese).

Ah, here's some evidence that the name is properly Armana:

This is likely what the title is referring to.

Eh, never mind my crackpot theory, actually. It isn't really "likely" just because it sounds like it...

My theory actually might have something to it after all on reflection, but an unproven link doesn't factor into decisions on the naming. The proper name of this game is still up in the air. So, if you have some evidence that this is supposed to be Arumana instead of Armana, please present it in another topic and I'll react accordingly. For now, I don't see why it shouldn't be Armana or Almana.
