Soft Circle French-Bread (フランスパン) is a dojin soft company that specializes in 2D fighting games. They have worked particularly closely with TYPE-MOON, a former dojin soft company themselves, to turn TYPE-MOON's visual novel series Tsukihime into the Melty Blood series of fighting games. One of their current games, the scrolling brawler Ragnarok Battle Offline, a homage/spoof of the MMORPG Ragnarok Online so impressed Gravity Corp. (the original game's designers) that it has been given an official release outside of Japan.

It is believed that the name change was to prevent confusion with multimedia company Watanabe Productions.

Their games include:
 * The Melty Blood series of 2D fighting games based on Tsukihime
 * The Queen of Heart series of 2D fighting games
 * Glove on Fight and his spiritual sequel Gleam of Force: another 2D fighting game based on Boxing.
 * Ragnarok Battle Offline: a scrolling brawler based on Ragnarok Online
