Visual Novel Translation Status (17/12/2023)

Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and since we have Mahoyo available on PC with the title 'Witch of the Holy Night' and Destiny Star Girlfriend release, I decided to parodied the latter by changing 'Star' into 'Witch', so we have 'Destiny Witch Girlfriend', although ironically Aoko didn't really become Soujuurou girlfriend at the end of Mahoyo (For now). That aside, there's quite a number of the updates on this week, with two interesting updates to note (Mahoyo PC release and Ever Maiden announcement). Other than that, Shiravune being active again with two releases and one new title (Albeit all of those are smaller one, and Sekai also finally has some updates with they released Gakkou no Seiiki. Overall, this week is slightly above average one, and let's see what I can write in regard of it.

After a year since console release, Aniplex decided to try released Mahoyo on PC, which is good news seeing that not everyone else willingly buy console to just play it. The premise is still the same, with Soujuurou stumbled upon Aoko and Alice when both of them using magic, and once again Nasu did write those three characters based on Evangelion main trio. While it's too bad that apparently the initial translation has a lot of mistakes so much Aniplex announced the update to fix the mistakes, it definitely far better to just play Steam version compared to wait for the fan translation team to finally gain the will to finishing the remaining work that they didn't working on it ever since the official release announcement. Also while it has some inconvenience, at least Aniplex still know how to adjust the screen for lower PC resolution compared to Success with their 'brilliant' screen programming on Aoishiro and Akai Ito. Go get Mahoyo if you've been waiting to play it on PC, and have fun.

Sekai did release Gakkou no Seiiki, and the VN is part of Seiiki trilogy with the MC has two love interests (His older sister and his classmate), so in a way Seiiki trilogy is like Uchikano trilogy although turned out Gakkou no Seiiki didn't have threesome route. Sekai also has Nie no Hakoniwa update, with them fully edited it and currently finished 20% of the QA work. Shiravune did announce new title, Kiss kara Hajimeru Egoism, and I only know that it'll be released on March 31st at the latest on top has single robot heroine. After one time delay, finally Shukusei no Girlfriend was released, and the first entry is focused on Yuuri (I hope Shiravune will announce the remaining of the trilogy). They also released My Slow Life with the Princess Knight and Her Devoted Handmaiden, and unlike Shukusei it was released without too much issue (Which mean the review process for this is goes smoothly).

Cherry Kiss has new nukige release, Ara Ara Auntie Incest, and they'll release it on January 12th later. From fan translation, we have Tsuma Netori is fully edited along with the proofreading work is 80% done, 206 out of 253 script files for Kusarihime are edited, ChuSingura is at 35.05% translated, and Akagoei 3 is at 80.25% edited. Tsui no Sora Remake has both translation and editing work are almost complete (94% and 91% done respectively) with Takuji's route is fully translated, although it didn't mean that it's close to the release because the translator still want to do some remaining work (QC pass) after the editing work is done, and if anything else at least it's almost completed.

Last but not the least, we have Ever Maiden will be available in English on the next year. Yes, Ever Maiden as in the newest GL VN from Liar Soft that has very unique graphic. Surprisingly, the publisher for it is not either Mangagamer or Shiravune, but instead it's Love Lab with their last big title is Sugar Sweet Temptation. I did mention that Ever Maiden is like Flowers with all girl school, and turned out there's a reason for it. While I also did mention this is the second time Liarsoft wrote GL story in all girl school like Yurirei, turned out Ever Maiden contents are more heavy compared to two ghost girls ask the MC help to establish Yuritopia, especially with the setting is the school hidden in the fog and thorns. For the premise, we have the mysterious girl Alouette who stumbled upon the isolated school Puellarium, and she need to pass a test in order for her to stay in the school with she manage to pass. Oh yes, there's no route with each girls are paired like in Yurirei, although with only three couple.

That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.
