Love.
The "Untalented" one's "Talent", that surpasses all things.
Welcome to Mikage Academy, a famed educational institute that prides itself on being the home school of prime ministers, world-renowned artists, great businessmen, and all sorts of other movers and shakers of society. What's their secret? They accept only students with Talents – special powers that border on magic, granted by the divine, said to only occur in one in every ten thousand people by the time they reach adolescence.
I'm in love with this girl, Yuki Suzu, the dorm leader of the elites on campus, the White Lilies. And you know where I am on the pecking order? The very bottom of the Black Roses, a pack of slackers and rejects. And you guessed it – our dorms get along like cats and dogs.

Fueya is a mysterious town where faeries are said to reside. The ‘night of the fairies’ takes place once a year when diamond dust fills the sky. It is said that happy miracles occur on this night. Even though the townspeople mostly treat the legend as a funny tale, they still look forward to it every year.
There’s a small patisserie named Folkroll on the outskirts of the town. It’s been around for dozens of years and is known for their really delicious cakes. However, the old man who worked as the patisserie was recently injured and had to be hospitalized. Without someone to make the cakes, the shop’s future was in danger.
The girls who worked there, Meru and Koori, didn’t know what to do and decided to make a wish on that special night for someone to come and save the shop. Then, a miracle happened and a mysterious young man Kurou appeared before them when they returned to the shop. He didn’t have any memories, but knew a lot about baking and agreed to work as the shop’s patisserie.

1. Neko-nin exHeart 猫忍えくすはーと [170224] Whirlpool 1 2 3 4
Japan. From time immemorial, there are those who possess superhuman abilities. These beings who looked like a cross between man and beast are called Demi-Humans. They acted as Ninja and served those in power.
And so time passes to present day——
"We have come from the Fuuma Village to fulfill an ancient contract. To serve you! Nin♪"
Yura and Tama. These ninja cats made their dynamic entrance. These cats approached our hero with their loving aura in full bloom. Their adorableness and will causes our hero to be taken by them. But how will he support them? How on earth do you use ninja in this day and age? As he ponders this question, the sense of being a master begins to sprout in our hero when he interacts with these lovely cats.
But who is spying on them from the shadows…? A heartfelt tale of cat ninja who won't shut up about loyalty, with a bit of action thrown in the mix!

Nekonin is pure nukige.

Shugaten is a pure kusoge.

Suisei Ginka was the last Akatsuki Works game to come out.  I am sad.  Give me more Akatsuki Works.

Nekonin- Well Sekai didn't have much money to license more interesting VNs from Whirlpool, so Sekai decided to localized Nekonin because it's one of smaller title from Whirlpool that they made to respond Nekopara's trend. At least the heroines design of Nekonin is good if anything else.

Ritarnia - Gameplay RPG VN featuring a featureless MC who actually a spirit summoner and he managed to summon five female spirits that going to fight together in order to repel the demon invasion and possibly defeated the demons. Well it's one of Mangagamer's release and it's quite underrated when compared to the other gameplay VN title such as Rance or Eushully's VNs.

Ouka Sabaki - Phoenix Wright with sex scenes and cute heroines. That's the gist of it, or if you want more detail the MC here is the judge in Edo era and he'll investigating the cases before held a trial in order to resolve the cases. The trial obviously will involving what Phoenix Wright did, cross-examining the witnesses and find out whether the initial culprit is in the wrong or not based from the witness testimonies and the evidences from the investigation before deliver the verdict. Shiravune did localize this, and it's their very first release (Not counting messy Your Diary release, in that DMM themselves who do that before they decided to form Shiravune).

That's all for my comment in regard of February 2017 releases.
