  1. Honestly looking from how Alcot was suddenly stop making yearly releases after Shogun-sama fandisc, it's quite predictable they'll retire (Although I still feel bad about it for the obvious reason). Also from what I see somewhere, apparently the writer want to retire as well, so he decided to make Clover Memory's as his last project before retiring. Anyway, the link to it's Campfire in case you want to check the crowdfund, and the goal is to gather 36 million yen within May 31st later.

  2. Watch Gushing Over Magical Girl in Winter 2024, and let's just say it end at the perfect moment before the plot getting more intricate (Also yes it has some interesting plot despite the series is just the female MC became the villain cadre who out to sexually torture the magical girl as the way to express her love). Other than that, I also watch Onimai which ultimately is usual CGDCT despite the unusual premise that made me drop the manga for years and skip the anime until now (Also it's good to have Studio Bind working on Onimai anime with the manga translator was initially expected Doga Kobo will worked on it).

  3. Yeah, JAST really is about to release the nukige in June later. That said, obviously it's not my interest here, especially with there are some other interesting non-nukige VNs from the olden time, although at least the art is still looking good even after more than 10 years since its initial release. Still, have fun if you've been looking forward to it.

  4. Bump the thread for obvious reason, namely it got exact release date and it'll be on May 2nd later. Also it'll be simultaneous release with Sana Edition, which to say is quite bothersome compared to just release it as one game considering Sana Edition is also has the common route. Anyway, feel free to note the date if you're been waiting for this.

  5. Well Hoshiori may be fit, although it only has two months though, so if you prefer longer one then perhaps you can try Ginharu with the relationship start from middle school all the way up to 20's. I know that both examples have childhood friend heroines, but at least it didn't have the casts plan a family after three weeks. Oh yes, you can also try Summer Pocket with none of the heroines are childhood friend, although it didn't as lengthy as two earlier examples though. Lastly I don't know if you're already played those VNs or not, but I hope my recommendations here will be helpful to you.

  6. Well looks like we'll going to have it finished in this April, because the translator announced the exact release date for Yuzuki's patch (On 26th later), so let's see if that date is indeed the real one. For the progress, all of the work for Yuzuki's patch is pretty much already done save for some very minor work, or in the translator's word 'to upload literally like what… 2 images to it(?)'.

    That's all for (Possibly) the last update before Yuzuki's patch release.

  7. Looks like you're interesting with clumsy girl thing. In this case then there's some VNs who have those, such as Irotoridori (Tsukasa) and Amatsutsumi (Kyouko). Although if you want the closest one with what you mention, then perhaps going with KEY VN is the best option, with one of those type of heroine is Tsumugi from Summer Pockets. I don't know if you're already played those VNs or not, but regardless I hope my recommendations will be helpful to you.

    It seems like all 3 phases are finished according to the progress tracker so I hope its released soon. Otherwise we are forced to hope for a full leak :(

    The leak is already happen, so yeah you can play it immediately if you can't wait for the perfectionist translator to finally finished with his last steps. Also while some did say that it use the old version, from what I understand the leaked patch is still viable enough, so feel free to play with it.

  9. Well the problem is simpler than what mod Clephas assume, and the reason is because Suzukuri Karin-chan is created by Softhouse Chara. It's more notable than it sounds, because they would never add the Save button in the narration and only add the button in the gameplay section, so if the OP still confused with it then just keep playing until the gameplay section in which we finally can save the game for the first time.

  10. There are a number of incest in VNs, but if you mean incest as sex scenes with sister then perhaps I should try to recommend all age VN with sibling route. Anyway, as for all age VN with sibling route you can try both Chaos Child (The MC Takuru and Nono). Utawarerumono 2 has Oshtor and Nekone, although it's the linear VN (Obviously you should try the sequel). There's also Summer Pocket with Hairi and Umi in Reflection Blue version, although both are second cousin. I don't know if you already read those VNs or not, but regardless I hope my recommendations will be helpful to you.

  11. Turned out the last update is not really the last update before Yuzuki's patch release. Anyway, there's a bunch of word from the updates, so I'll quote it below.

    Quote

    I have made a recovery and am now pushing for this project to be released soon. Mint & Cornrope have just finished their QA passes of Yuzuki and Mizuha respectively.
    Cornrope wants to take a quick look at Yuzuki’s scripts and Bee will also now be making some final changes to Mizuha.

    A lot of lines have been changed, so I will personally be doing an alpha test of the final patch before release to ensure everything runs smoothly and that there are no overflowing lines.

    I estimate that we should be able to release sometime in April, but no matter what I WILL NOT rush or release the patch until it is ready. Sorry.

    Finally, I also want to thank our friend Looper for editing 10 or so images that we had missed. Our previous image editor has retired so thank you Looper for finishing these last few images for us.

    Working on Ginharu has been a little annoying so now that I have a much better understanding of the siglus engine I’ll probably get around to writing some proper tools for it. It’s not something I’m going to commit to or make promises on though. It will probably be just something I work on once in a while when I feel like it.

    Personally speaking it's a bit too bad that the release was pushed back again with the estimated earliest release time is at April, although then again it's definitely far more annoying to get a hundreds of notification in Discord informing grammar errors in Ginharu (Nitpicking or not) so the staffs understandably tried their best to fix the translation as much as they could, and obviously it took long time with the staffs only finished the QA passes for both Mizuha and Yuzuki's routes just recently. Also the writer of the post is the hacker which the last time it was mentioned is still bedridden because of the operation, and apparently it took longer time to recover so only now he can find the time to start the finalization work on it. Anyway, the current progress is listed as 'Playtesting Gin’Iro’s patch' (ie beta testing the patch) with additional notes they made the final changes to the scripts in both routes.

    Lastly, with on how turbulent the finalization work turned out, I'm not quite sure if it's really the last update before Yuzuki's patch release or not. Regardless, I'll write the update in the next month if the staffs still has some bit to say in regard of the updates. Of course, it'll be better if the next update is Yuzuki's patch, but we'll see about it later.

    That's all for March 2024 update of Ginharu here.

  12. For my belated recommendation, just in case you're still searching for more then I can recommend the title such as Clover Day's, Irotoridori no Sekai (It's just released very recently), Ginharu (Still no Yuzuki's patch release yet, but at least you can try to read the four translated routes very slowly until the patch release which supposed to be happen in this month), and Walkure Romanze, Also for the upcoming releases, there's Mashiro Iro and Tenshi Reboot, although unfortunately it's still uncertain when we'll get the latter thanks to the random ban by the reviewer. I hope that my recommendations here can be helpful to you if you still didn't read those yet even though it's very late.

  13. For platform I used laptop, and obviously I used Windows to play the VN. As for the reason, it's simply because the one that the initial OS which available on my laptop is Windows, and it's practical enough anyway in that almost all of the VN developers released their VNs for Windows. By the way I used to have desktop PC in the past, although nowadays I just have my laptop.

    Amakano is developed by Azarashi Soft. Also, Happy Live Show Up got an award? It was just some mediocre moege that Favorite put out for a quick buck. I also find it funny that Sana Edition got an award when it JUST came out.

    Fixed.

    Anyway, while I did mentioned that the list show the worrying state of VNs in Japan, to me it still didn't show the real representative of the releases in 2023, especially with several title such as Imouto to Kanojo or Red Cherish FD are not on the list (Imouto to Kanojo is also questionably not available on the poll). Not to mention two of the title (Mashiro Iro HD Remake and Hapymaher Regret End) are the re-releases, although at least Regret End has new scenario that can be accessed from Hapymaher FD (Not the main story). For Sana Edition, the opening is on par with Nine series, so maybe it made people to vote for it, although Sana's popularity is obviously also contribute to the voting.

    I'll try to comment on the list later on, even though it may took some times like last years. That said, at least it's nice we have three titles from the list are announced to be available in English, with those titles are Tenshi Reboot by Nekonyan and Mashiro Iro by Shiravune with them also included Sana Edition. I just hope the upcoming release for those title going smoothly, seeing that usually the releases need to wait review process, and moreso with the random ban of Tenshi Reboot from the Valve reviewer.

    PS - Forgot to mention that while you think Happy Life Show Up FD is just mediocre moege, the writing is apparently still good enough so much it got 2nd rank in Scenario category. Speaking about scenario category, it's nice to see two parts of Criminal Border are placed in Top 5 of Scenario category.

  15. It's time for Getchu 2023 award, and the winner is unsurprisingly Sakura no Toki in which it's the sequel of very well received Sakura no Uta. Anyway, let's see top 10 below, and yes I did really mean 10 instead of 20 because somehow Getchu decided to just list 10 top rank instead of usual 20, which to say is quite understandable. By the way, you can view the result in this link.

    About half a year has passed since "Amakano 2", sets in autumn. As the seasons change, and summer approaches, a new love story is about to begin.

    Showing her true self as a matter of course, Yuuhi is now able to spend her age-appropriate youth together as lovers.

    Despite aiming for affection straightforwardly as a lover, becoming interested in her classmates, Rei's world around her has expanded a little.

    While attending college, acting like an older sister as before, the relationship as lovers with Chitose, continues to be deepened.

    And one more, attending the school as a first-year student, a new love story with Sara.

    Along with this new encounter, each affection gradually grows in the dazzling summer. Eventually, this feeling becomes the driving force to take a step from just a lover towards being bounded together in the future, marriage.

    Spoiler

    It began as a day just like any other.
    A dull morning, an uneventful trip to school, an afternoon of tedious lectures...
    And then I met her.

    "I'm an angel, sent here from Heaven on a very important mission."

    She appeared suddenly, and without warning―a beautiful girl who called herself an angel.
    Spreading her large, snow-white wings, she made a declaration that would forever change my life.

    "I come in search of the Demon Lord's reincarnation."
    "That being you, Tanikaze Riku."

    That's right, apparently I was a Demon Lord in my previous life. From some other world to boot.

    Unfortunately for me, the anarchy wouldn't stop there.
    Memories from a previous life, visitors from another world... It was just one crazy, chaotic event after the other.

    "Wait, what? But that doesn't― Huh?!"

    Thus began the story of Tanikaze Riku, a tale marked by the loss of his normal life, along with so many other precious things.
    Aside from even more anarchy, what else does the future have in store for him?

    Spoiler

    Inui Sana is a young lady who can’t admit her feelings.

    Luckily, she doesn’t have to at Yuihime Girls Private Academy, the place where she spends fun-filled days with her precious friends and the senior she loves.
    Or at least, that’s how things have always been...

    Now, her comfy and prestigious school is being merged with the boys’ school from the upstart side of town! Shoved into a combined class to trial the new system, she finds her world changing faster than she can keep up—and one of her new classmates makes her heart beat faster too. Quicker and quicker, the changes pile up, altering the landscape of her life like a sudden snowfall...

    A new love story is about to begin.

    Spoiler

    Due to the declining birthrate and various problems of the adults, the school where the boys attends no longer exists, and starting from this year, the protagonist Kanata, and his friends, are transferred to a famous school located nearby, where many ojousama attend, but is now a co-educational school, Ouka Academy.

    "Since I'm going there, I want to have a girlfriend!!!"

    With such common wishes, the boys are excited about their new lives with the prim and proper ojousama whom they have yet to meet.

    Then comes the long-awaited first day of their co-educational lives. To the Flower Garden! The boys take a step forward────.

    "This is different from what I was expecting!!!"

    They cannot comprehend the girls' way of life which is far off from what they have imagined. But, another unexpected thing is that the girls also feel the same as them.

    "My prince...... Is different from what I was expecting."

    The wishes that the both sides have wished for, they do not seem to come true. Still, they want to fall in love! They want to talk about love!!

    The amateurs huddling together, using love story as a weapon──── Such youthful lovestruck rascals, this is the effort of a silly, but adorable romance.

    Kagamijima, an island closest to the sky.

    Along with the Lake Mikagami waters that reflects the sky like mirror on it's waters, lies a soaring sakura tree in Kagami Gakuen.

    Kujou Souma, who attends Kagami Gakuen.
    Yasaka Menoa, his queen-like undesired unseparable childhood friend.
    Tokisaka Yukina, big sister figure who is the student council president.
    Shirawaka Akari, far-beyond-reach ojousama.
    Yasaka Kako, Menoa's younger sister who calls Souma big brother.
    Suginami, mysterious well-informed friend.
    Together, they live a merry fun school life.

    On Kagami Gakuen, stands a curious sakura tree called "Hakari no Sakura". It has the ability to help collect student's consensus on choices. Students choose to wear white or black cape on their uniforms, then Hakari no Sakura aggregates the amount of wearer to choose the majority. The latest choose event (called Hakarigoto), student has to decide whether the next school festival would be a cultural festival or sports festival. They get to promote and win sides on whichever festival they feel is the best to enjoy. It's a natural occurence whenever Hakarigoto happens.

    Then one day.
    Souma visited Lake Mikagami, there's "another sakura tree" whom has never bloom in so many years, blooms dazzlingly.
    Looking up to the sky, along with the blooming petals, a young girl decends.

    "Yes, you are....", whispers the mystery girl, Sakuragi Mizuha.

    Meetings of the boys and girls, the fate begins to move.

    While out-of-season sakura blooms, curtain to young boys and girls story opens.

    10. Yuunagi-sou no S-kyuu no Kanojo-tachi 2 - MOONSTONE Cherry

    Spoiler

    Spoiler

    For a long time, the 2nd floor of Yuunagi-sou remains vacant. Only for the special people of the S-Class, since it is such a peculiar apartment, there is bound to have a few empty rooms.

    However――.

    As if they are drawn in by our protagonist, new tenants move in one after another.

    An annoying former kouhai.
    An absurdly anxious school teacher.
    Serious, but a closet pervert entrance student.
    An up-and-coming seiyuu.

    Thus, the entire 2nd floor is occupied, more and more, Yuunagi-sou is getting livelier. Now on the 2nd floor, a pure~lewd life begins once again......

    Despite fewer number on the list, we still have the winner for each categories, so I'll list it below.

    • Best Scenario: Sakura no Toki -Sakura no Mori no Shita o Ayumu-
    • Best Game System: Amakano 2+
    • Best Graphic: Tenshi Souzou RE-BOOT!
    • Best Soundtrack: Sakura no Toki -Sakura no Mori no Shita o Ayumu-
    • Best Movie: Tenshi Souzou RE-BOOT!
    • Best Character: Tanikaze Amane from Tenshi Souzou RE-BOOT!
    • Best Erotic Contents: Bunny's Mama Daikou Service

    That's all for the list, and admittedly speaking the list show the worrying state of VNs in Japan.

    Assuming you could only pick one, what is the VN you most want localized that is not currently licensed in the west?

    Well, maybe something like Apeiria or Sakuramoyu, but even then I understand not to ask Mangagamer to localize those two. Besides, it's not like I'm dying to have those two localized anyway, now that Mashiro-iro is finally got localized. Another VN that I wish to see it localize is Red Cherish, although it's still unknown on who is capable to get the license from the developer.

  17. The result from the survey, and I can only say at least there's no more vote for WA2 now that Shiravune took the license for the first WA (Although it didn't stop some people to vote for Hentai Prison). Also note the survey was started way before Aniplex announce Fate/Stay Night, so it's only natural there's some who put too much hope on Mangagamer to localize Fate/Stay Night. The rest of the survey result are either the rest of 07Expansion work, otome/BL VN (Because Aksys Games only interested to localize all age otome on Switch), disturbing nukige, and Sakura no Uta along with the sequel (Sakura no Toki). Overall, I guess good for Mangagamer they manage to branch out their demography, albeit at the cost of their original demography to a degree.

    PS - By the way my votes are not included on the top 25, so oh well.

  18. You definitely didn't read the title wrong, because they definitely manage to do so with them got the HD version along with Sana side story. While I did keep saying that I hope to see this available in English because of the art (And Kawamura indeed manage to make Tsubasu's art beautiful in the anime), I still can't believe that it finally happen. Anyway, apparently it'll be available in April, although Shiravune change the release time to Q2 of 2024, which is good move if we see on how slow review process in Valve can be (Especially with Amazing Grace).

    Oh yes, here's the link to the Steam store of the main game and the link to the Steam store of Sana side story.
