This one was a straight-out contest between Lost Echoes and Otoboku 3.
On the one hand, Lost Echoes has an excellent story and some seriously good heroines.
On the other hand, Otoboku has first-class writing, first-class slice-of-life, and excellent epilogues.
In fact, it was that last element that decided the contest... the two were neck and neck, but the difference in epilogue quality, which is much more important than most people credit it for being, was huge. Lost Echoes, for better or worse, ends very soon after the final climax for each path, and (in the VN's chronology) a month or less after the climax. Otoboku 3, however, had detailed epilogues that dealt with the thereafter of the heroines and protagonist, which is a huge plus for remaining in my memory.
So, in the end, Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru: Trinkle Stars was VN of the Month, February 2018.
It should be mentioned that my utter inability to play sports VNs made Tsubasa no Shita a non-starter for me from the beginning (I like combat and blood sports, but other sports suck as game themes except for seishun BS).
