Whilst cruising the manga pubs' latest titles over at Amazon, I stumbled across an Aurora title that, internet be damned, I can't find any reference to ever being licensed. Hitohira has a blurb and everything ("What do you do when you are so timid that you can't bring yourself to speak up in front of people? Well, for one, you don't go and join a club that requires you to act in front of a crowd as you speak loud enough for everyone to hear. Nevertheless, Asai Mugi, a cute freshman high school student, finds herself in just that situation when she is forced to join the Acting Research Club at Kumadaka Art Academy. Just what does a member of the 'acting research' club do?! With every club member determined to make Mugi into a great actress, how is she to cope with the pressure?! ") and there never seems to have been a license announcement. This is either a.] a new title or b.] something so obscurely mentioned there's no reference to it ever happening on the internet. I'd go with unlikely for that, but...
I don't suppose anyone knows a few details I don't?? (And if y'do, someone let a few news sources in or somesuch, because they certainly don't have any.)

I don't recall any license announcement about it so I'm gonna go with obscure and missed mention? Titles licensed and listed after this title already recieved their momentary spotlight time. There's currently two volumes slated for release in English, with four volumes out so far in Japan. Another interesting note is from the information I could gather, the manga-ka's name is Kirihara Izumi, not Izumi Kirino as Amazon has listed.
Well, the manga already had an anime out, which was fansubbed. I'd expect it to be licensed if the manga does well.
