Visual Novel Translation Status (01/01/2023)

Welcome to my last VNTS Review in 2022, and as for the title seeing that we have Mizuha's patch of Ginharu released with her theme focused on ice skating, I figure that I should make a parody of the anime in regard of ice skating, with one of those is Yuri!!! on Ice. Except in here I made it as 'Yurippe!!! on Ice' with Yurippe is the nickname for one of Angel Beats character, Nakamura Yuri; and both her and Mizuha are voiced by the same person (Sakurai Harumi), so yes this is also the VA joke here. Anyway as for the last week in 2022, I should say that there's no direct update from official company, although on the other hand there's several important updates from fan translation, especially in regard of the aforementioned Ginharu. So overall this week here is more or less an average one thanks to some interesting updates from fan translation, and let's see what I can write in regard of it.

Since 2022 is almost over, obviously several releases plan for official companies are bust. In fact, we have two VNs with released plan for 2022 cancelled. One of those VN is the little sister succubus nukige from Sekai, and okay let's moving on. Another one is Tokyo Necro from JAST, which while it's too bad that Tokyo Necro need to be delayed, at least it might be understandable seeing that apparently the engine might be more tricky to work, which contrary to what JAST expect back at AX. If anything else, it seems the test of it is still ongoing (Alongside Gears of Dragoon 2), so hopefully we may have it released on the next year if all goes well. Almost forget that we have another story released in Obedient Women, and the story is focused on Itsuka Shinonome who is the wife on a liquor store owner.

For fan translation updates, we have Chronos is at 90% translated, Senmomo is at 83.67% edited with Chapter 6 was fully edited (For the info Chapter 6 is the last chapter of Senmomo, so for the next plan the editor will be focusing on the editing the side stories), Asuna's route of December When There is No Angel was fully translated with the translator working on Maho's route as the next route, ChuSingura is at 17.08% translated, H2O is at 77% translated with Yui's route was fully translated along with Hamaji's route is at 36.7% translated, and Eustia is finally reach 99% mark (99.19%) in programming with Licia's chapter is at 95.67% in programming. Speaking of Eustia, PyroCyan did mention that it might be possible to see Eustia's release by June as long as there is no obstable, although obviously the situation can change, so let's wait and see if we can see Eustia's full translation patch release in June later. We also have the fix patch for Chaos Head Noah release delayed because Committee of Zero find that the bugs in the Steam port are much more than they expected, so they decided to keep working on it until it's finished.

Before going to Mizuha's patch release, I should mention that Daybreak did help with the translation of Hikari's sex scene translation in Miagete restoration, and for the info it's been at 60% translated. We also have Planetarian Snow Globe update from Snow Ryujin, in that it's already at 88% translated. For Mizuha's route patch release, obviously it did fully translate Mizuha's route so now you can play it if you've been waiting for her route ever since Trip worked on it. That said, the patch still has some flaws because the patch is still not QA-ed yet, so beware on that if you still mind of those flaws. Of course though you can also just get Mizuha's patch directly if you didn't mind it's flaws, and have fun playing her route. For the reminder I didn't call Ginharu full translation patch as Mizuha's patch anymore, but instead I'll call the full patch as Yuzuki's patch, in which it'll be out in early next year if all goes well.

That's all for my last VNTS Review in 2022, and happy New Year 2023. See you next year.
