VN of the Year 2021 - Waga Himegimi ni Eikan o

Despite all the looks I still find as many as ten games to be great. And still 50 openings to enjoy Visual Novel Openings 2021 . Since I prioritize chunige , my choice for the year is Waga Himegimi ni Eikan o . As for plans, hardly anything has changed except that I'm first going for Sakura, Moyu. -As the Night's, Reincarnation- , but so far only recorded common route over last three months, so useless to plan further. Will definitely get more active when I finish all the postponed RPGs , six ti

VN of the Month June 2021 - Ryuusei World Actor: Badge & Dagger

I'd rather nominate an absolutely incomplete title Ryuusei World Actor: Badge & Dagger than choose from several moege-like games.   1. Toshishita Kanojo 年下彼女  [210625] Azarashi Soft 1 "When I grow up, I'm going to marry you, Onii-chan!" This kind of promise is the least likely to be kept in the world. At least, the protagonist, Yunagimoto Yuusuke, believed as much when he thought back on the distant memory of that promise. Then, one day, a younger f

VN of the Month March 2021 - Waga Himegimi ni Eikan o

Genpei Ryouran Emaki -Gikei- and Waga Himegimi ni Eikan o are both good games, yet the first one has too many downsides this time.   1. Go-toubun no Hanayome ∬ ~Natsu no Omoide mo Go-toubun~ 五等分の花嫁∬ ~夏の思い出も五等分~ [210325] MAGES.

Realive リアライブ [Purple Software]

I was never fan of Purple Software yet as of now I claim Realive to be VN of the Year 2019. Curious, right?   Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwGwDxf37gEkRtsaFVrm8TiT95cw_g3Lz   Character Design rating: 9/10 Protagonist rating: 10/10 Story rating: 9/10 Game quality: 10/10 Overall rating: 9/10   I did not expect much of this game, to be honest.

VN of the Year 2020 - Silverio Ragnarok

Somehow both number of masterpieces (14) and number of openings I am able to collect in Visual Novel Openings 2020 decreases yet again. Silverio Ragnarok symbolizes the whole trilogy for me, so I consider it to be the winner in 2020 , but I admit It can change after I review Hakuchuumu no Aojashin . Also plan to do the same with Hoshizora Tetsudou to Shiro no Tabi just because I did not find an English review. Then it will be Tsui no Sora Remake 's turn, next undecided, probably something from 2

VN of the Month December 2020 - Tsui no Sora Remake

Tsui no Sora Remake is more than just a remake and is VN of the Month. Other worthy competitors include Akatsuki Yureru Koi Akari and Hoshizora Tetsudou to Shiro no Tabi . Kara no Shoujo - The Last Episode is also supposed to be good for those who care about depressing games.   1. Akatsuki Yureru Koi Akari 紅月ゆれる恋あかり [201225] CRYSTALiA 1 2 3 Jindou-- it's a near-future sport where you fight with real swords that's really hot in Japan in the 2040s.

VN of the Month November 2020 - Hokenshitsu no Sensei to Shabondama Chuudoku no Joshu

Hokenshitsu no Sensei to Shabondama Chuudoku no Joshu is the only game I can point out.   1. Ai Kiss 2 アイキス2 [201127] Giga Same art school, same two female childhood friends and many new acquaintances. Summer comes, and girls start to compete for popularity. I'm speechless   2. Dohna Dohna -Issho ni Warui Koto o Shiyou- ドーナドーナ いっしょにわるいことをしよう [201127] Alice Soft 1 Asougi City, a company town facing the Seto Inland Sea- Though a single c

VN of the Month October 2020 - Einstein Yori Ai o Komete

No masterpieces as usual. Einstein Yori Ai o Komete is better than others.   1. DraPri Guu-ta-life 竜姫ぐーたらいふ [201030] Whirlpool 1 2 The main character is a sprightly young NEET who lives in a dilapidated dojo. He and his family are known martial artists, but his father is a deadbeat; a gambling drunkard constantly getting into fights. Meanwhile, he refuses to work, claiming it to be part of his training.

VN of the Month September 2020 - Hakuchuumu no Aojashin

VN of the Month August 2020 - Seishun Fragile

Seishun Fragile still takes the upper hand, yet for me it's the month without masterpieces.   1. Ano Hi no Tabibito, Fureau Mirai あの日の旅人、ふれあう未来 [200828] Pulltop 1 Yuuri arrives at Chichijima island, looking for his former girlfriend Tamaki, seeking closure to their withered relationship.

VN of the Year July 2020 - Root Film

Root Film is nowhere near masterpiece, but I'd still rate it higher than others this month.   1. Kanojo ga Aitsu de, Ore wa Dare!? 彼女がアイツで、俺はだれ!? [200731] Praline I (Kazuharu Shimozono) is an ordinary boy student with no special abilities.

VN of the Year June 2020 - ATRI -My Dear Moments-

VN of the Year May 2020 - Secret Agent ~Kishi Gakuen no Shinobi Naru Mono~

Secret Agent ~Kishi Gakuen no Shinobi Naru Mono~ is the only game deserving attention in May for me.    1. Kirakira Monstars キラキラモンスターズ [200528] White Powder Four monster girls invited main character to a summer resort with the aim to shoot TV documentary  "Kirakira Monsters". The comedy about communal life begins here! Partial release   2. KukkoroDays くっころでいず [200514] iMel Inc. 1 The main character's mundane daily life is turne

VN of the Month April 2020 - Silverio Ragnarok

No-o-o. Micchi stopped updating blog and lots of releases ended up without translated description, as expected. With trilogy at its end, can finally nominate Silverio Ragnarok for this month and most probably for this year. Looks like another series reached conclusion, so can now call 9 -Nine- Yukiiro Yukihana Yukinoato a masterpiece.   1. Bokuhime Project ボク姫PROJECT [200423] Wizard Soft 1 Protagonist Minato Ikusa's sister Marika has fallen into a coma following an incident
