Out in the US yet?
Well, the word "yet" is a bit of a fallacy in this situation. The thing is, there's so many different manga/anime represented in this game, and so many separate companies with rights to different titles in the US, that it'd be nearly impossible to release it here. Why? Simply put, money.
The reason why Japan was able to go through with it was because each title went through the weekly Shonen Jump magazine, hence,
Jump Ultimate Stars. So basically, it's import only.
Fortunately for non-fluent Japanese speakers, there's always a modern day paladin willing to shower light upon us, the deprived lot:

(And a reliable online retailer)
