Oh, looks like I was quite late to the party, but let me say this first. Congratulations on your very successful Kickstarter, Mikandi Japan. Although I'd never give my post here, I'd always followed your progress you know. Anyway, my impression for this VN was the graphic and OP was good, although my judgement may be wrong though. While usually I would comment about seiyuu, in here I couldn't comment much because they still had quite small role roster for translated VN, and I usually like to comment about seiyuu for translated VN. Although I'll give comment about that very later though. For character design, I think for now Lycoris had the best design, if only for the her cloth. But for now I'd said all of the characters design was quite good. As for the premise, I think it'll be like Tsukihime because of vampire thing, even though I maybe wrong. Either way looking forward for this game release in English, although from now it'll be a long time (Around 10 months later). Oh, and for Mikandi Japan thanks for your effort for translating this game to English. That's all from me and feel free to update the progress here. PS I prefer you release the VN at 2016 Halloween, but if you want to do that at November, it's okay.

Since it's been long time I'm not bumping this thread, might as well do it right now. Anyway here's the progress thanks to Decay for info and akerou for update. And no, I still didn't know when @Akerou break begin (About his 3 months long university break), although he promised that the patch will be released when his break begin. That's all for now.

Nice to meet you. Hope you enjoying staying here. I think it's still quite early for introduction, Ike. Because I just introduce myself after 1 year joining here and 41 posts lol, although I think it's still nice to introduce here.

Since Haruka about to be released (Well, still 39 days later actually, but back in VNDB I started Princess Evangile discussion 41 days before release), I figured I think I should started the discussion here. From the title, of course we should express our gratitude to arunaru, who back in June he was suspended his Rance VI translation in order to accept job from Mangagamer. A choice which of course would be guaranteed many anger from the people who expected Rance VI for a long time, although for Haruka translation actually arunaru managed to keep his standard pacing for translating, less than 6 month iirc to complete the translation of a script which considered long visual novel in VNDB. For the game itself, actually it was like nukige as doddler said, because the sex scene in there was quite a lot, and I'd already checked the CG for Haruka by the way. The story itself is our MC was meeting with very beautiful transfer girl and when he meet the girl again, he saw the girl as the ninja fighting the villain and suddenly the girl ask MC to have sex with her. From there the girl introduce herself as Haruka and our MC revealed to be the next leader of a ninja clan which Haruka belong. Oh and by the way our MC always followed by his landlord daughter, Narika who also will be revealed that she was a ninja along with Haruka. Since the company behind Haruka was Alice Soft, normally we would expect gameplay. In this case we had raising sim in order to raise the girls stat by, well have sex duh (Of course, since it was called nukige not for nothing). In case you didn't get it you'll have sex with the girls to up their status. Of course the status will be important to prepare ourself for the fighting, which almost always will be happen in the night. Oh speaking about night, we had the system called day, which if we recall Sengoku Rance or Daibanchou it means turn, and we had time limit 99 days to beat the game (I still didn't sure if it's right or not). Looks like I couldn't explain it well, so I'll leave it to arunaru's twitter for brief info or aroduc's (Kamidori and Galaxy Angel translator) review of Haruka for more info. I knew you had some post here, arunaru and if possible you may use this thread for Haruka's question and answer to Fuwanovel's user here. For the cast, we got our MC, the girls (Haruka, Narika, Subaru (Will be joined later)), and the villains. I'll talk about the villain first since I think the setting for the villain was quite usual for Japan. I mean what's with 4 Gods setting thing? Anyway, we got Orochimaru who represent East and Seiryu (The voice according to JP Wiki was Kentarou Itou who voiced Kurou back in Demonbane), Kikyodayou who represent South and Suzaku (Her voice was Iida Kuu who voiced Kouchuu back in Koihime Musou), Ittou Hagane who represent West and Byakko (His voice was Uozomi in Kara no Shoujo), and from the look I think he was the most handsome from all of the villain and quite honorable lol (I knew I'm bad at judging someone), and finally the boss of the villain who represent North and Genbu Ensai Mukroi, a blind monk. Oh for the heroine, Haruka was voiced by Sakurai Harumi (Lily from Himegari, Akari from Noble Works, Saya from Little Busters EX), Narika by Aoba Ringo aka Ringorin (Maya from Noble Work, Sayane from Soukoku no Arterial, Nemu from euphoria), and Subaru by Kawashima Rino (Haru from G-Senjou, Nagisa from Koi Resort, Serawi from Kamidori, and many more). We also had name like Hokuto Minami (Primula from Shuffle, Miki from Muv Luv franchise, Sakura from Da Capo franchise) and Oukawa Mio (Colette from Himegari, Bachou from Koihime Musou, Eris from Sono Hanabira franchise), who according to lousy translation of Google Translate was voiced the brainwashing victim, although I didn't certain 100% though. In any case, Minami voiced Minazuki and Oukawa voiced Almail. Oh although we had good seiyuu for this game, this game only partially voiced though, although Mangagamer promised us to hear heroine's voice in H-Scene. I think that's all for the info. Use this thread as discussion for Haruka in near future. And let's have video for awesome Haruka OP from Mangagamer here. Once again thanks to arunaru for translating this game. PS By the way could I ask how to embed video here? Sorry. PPS Thank mod Zenophilius. Turn out it was just as easy as copy and paste the link from Youtube, because in the past it was quite complicated to embed the video from Youtube. Edit (February 23rd) - Because unfortunate incident from Mangagamer side, the released was delayed until February 29th.

Hmm........ Maybe it's kind of late, but I decided to make a poll here. The reason was because I'd remember that another member here was made a Koichoco discussion with the poll, and the poll was purged along with the forum breakdown at this month. So I once again want to give a chance to all of you to give your vote (Come to think of it, I should make the poll from the beginning, because of the election lol). Anyway, maybe the wording might wrong, but have fun there.

Mod @Down May I help to add discussion link? Since from what I'd seen it quite lack of new discussion link. So I'll help you here, although guess I want to promote my thread which majority was VN discussion lol. The list not in alphabetical order though.

You may add those to your list above. I might add more in few months later, although it depend if VN had the discussion of course. Hope the list could help you, mod Down. Edit - Maybe in the future, I'll try to make this post more neat looking. Right now it was only putting the link as soon as the thread established, so it was still messy. Edit (February 20th) - I think my edit hopefully make this post a little more neat looking.

The title once again says it all. The first VN that I'll open the thread for discussion this year was this VN. In Mangagamer Staff Blog, they announced it'll be released on February 12th, so guess I'd open the thread 28 days too early lol. Anyway, the premise was like one loner girl names Yuna who always timid and alone was approaching by 2 ghosts. One of them was the student from before World War 2 and another was from around the same year as Higurashi - 1980's. Both ghosts was girl by the way, and they asked Yuna for create more yuri couple at the school, which was all girl school by the way. For the game format, since it was Liarsoft I think it'll something like Yuri Couple of the Week although I couldn't say much about this yet. The graphic to be honest not very good compared to Gakthun, but maybe this kind of graphic will be acceptable for this kind of VN. As for the review, I couldn't find any review that review this game fully, although from VNDB, it'll be around 7 I think. For the seiyuu, according to VNDB, they will be each voiced 2 character in this VN, except for MC seiyuu. The recognizeable name are Kusayanagi Junko, Oukawa Mio, Rita (Also the OP singer), and Kaneda Mahiru. While the rest was got less recognizeable role in VNs. And for the MC (Yuna), the voice was Kawashima Rino, who as I commented she was almost anywhere in any VN. As for Kawashima role, she was Haru in G-Senjou, Characters in translated Steampunk (Kia in Inganock, Mary in Sharnoth, and Emilie in Gakthun), Serawi in Kamidori, Nagisa in Koi Suru Natsu no Last Resort, and Yukari in Kara no Shoujo. For untranslated one she was Subaru in Beat Blade Haruka, Yuki in Subahibi, Narumi in Soukoku no Arterial, Alphimia in Madou Koukaku, and many more. Oh she also voiced Katahane MC (Male one), Cero. I think this VN for now was lack of review, although that didn't mean you should ignore this VN. I think this VN will be good for yuri fan. Oh about Steam release, I think since Liarsoft title almost always managed to not show explicit sexual content (Maybe) so far, I think this game is able to slip into Steam reasonable. Use this thread as discussion for this game, although it was 28 days too early lol.

@All Well, it's still nice to get welcome here anyway, so no problem which word you'll use here. Just want to follow formality here I think since I still not introduce myself here yet, and I saw some of the first post here was introduce themselves, so I figured to did that. And if you subtract 40 from my post, the post here was actually my first post here lol. @OriginalRen No it's not from that anime. Like I said it was from Pretty Cure or shortened PreCure, or to be exact my avatar here right now was one of the villain from Happiness Charge PreCure, Deep Mirror. If you want to know more about him, his story was major spoiler for the series, although I guess nobody here would be interested to PreCure.

Guess I should talked about Eiyuu Senki here, since I'd already finished it, although I still curious about Hard Mode Bonus so I tried to replay the new one. Hopefully it's worth it, although the major obstacle for the challenge would be Russia with S queen and her M soldier which you must conquer it before EU (And it'll be hard since to bypass half troop reduce you must conquer EU, declare war to Russia, and got Da Vince event which she will create the warmer for all of the soldier). Hope I could do it, although there was a video guide how to did it though and I think I'll need to have very big cash to did that. For the endgame, actually the the item which had the function to increasing recovery rate will be very useful here, if only for the ancient hero which only consist single unit and you couldn't recover it using money (And for majority of the game actually the recovery items to be frank useless since you could recover troop using money anyway lol). Oh one more thing if you confused which guy you want to take to the mission, just press auto (I'd just realize it near endgame lol). My endgame comment (Some of them are story spoiler): 2. Nobunaga and Napoleon managed to form Vitrolic Best Bud after we conquered EU. And Napoleon character design was quite nice too after Yoshitsune. 3. Yoshitsune endgame skill was 10 hit, not 8 hit like Persona 4. Not that I complained about it, although it would be nice if they make that 8 hit to following Persona 4 lol. And yeah the first time I equipped Yoshitsune for total +700 damage equipment and I used her skill, the opponent which previously couldn't be damaged at all suddenly fall for around 7000 damage. And yeah, her skill was very useful to give massive damage to final boss. 4. For the character, I think Beethoven was very useful because her normal attack give some delay to the opponent, and delay here could played some of the big change to the flow of battle, because in normal battle it mean that you could finished delayed opponent. Kay also my favorite cannoner, if only because her attack using gunner attacking range, while usually cannoner only could hit rarely occupied 2nd and 3rd row. And her endgame skill could be useful to blast all enemy in row (I knew Nobunaga also had the skill, but if you lazy Kay could fulfill that). Also she was in charge to educated Ywain how to speak properly lol. 6. Almost forget, but I remembered about Nostradamus and her very creative BL doujin (Napoleon was fan of her work lol). Her first doujin was paired Eiffel and Arc de Triomphe (Are you insane paired 2 Paris monument lol. Then again if back at KanColle we'd had moe ship, why we couldn't had handsome monument there lol). 7. Lastly about seiyuu, I'll split my comment to 2 part. I quite impressed that Shinohara Yumi could still called Onii-chan with her monotone voice as Geronimo, while I remember that she was quite expressive as Suina in Kamidori and Channel in Soukoku no Arterial. Montezuma, well her voice was usual range from Kaneda Mahiru, as far as I remember from Kamidori's Sharty and Soukoku no Arterial Madoka. Quite impressive that Arisugawa Miyabi here played Nero and Chu Culaiin and showing her high pitch, while back in Soukoku Mehisa was more deep voice. I think that's all my impression of Eiyuu Senki for now.

Hello, I knew it's already very late to introduce myself. But for the sake of being polite guess I should do it, and I think I should try to explain about myself. About the name, I choose it at random when I commented in one of Grisaia review about the time when it was still translated around 2012. The reason, well just because I remember shogun name from Chaos Head and the little just something I came up with lol. Nevertheless it managed to stuck until now, and I used this username in few board, except VNDB which my username was asaki at there. About myself, I live in Indonesia and I knew some of the user here was from Indonesia. And the Grisaia review that I mentioned was at Indonesian language. Speaking about Indonesia I'd read there was a VN which got inspiration from May 1998 tragedy. The VN was called May Jasmine, which to be honest still hasn't played it yet. And about the tragedy from what I remember I was going to my parent acquaintance house while my father take care of my house. I remember that I was still 7, so I couldn't understand much although from what I read it was horrible tragedy which caused my president to be changed. Back to MayJasmine, maybe if I had time I'll read it. For my interest, as Decay knew I guess I kind of interested with the seiyuu in VN, especially if they had some role in VN that I know. For the VN, actually my first exposure was at 2009 with Shuffle and KiraKira. The better one was KiraKira of course with the infamous normal ending which leave me like "Really?" (All of the user here knew which scene I mean), while Shuffle was like quite good at that time, but maybe it will bland now. After that I kind of forgetting about it, until around 2011 when I found the site called erxxxdoxxxxad.com (Is it allowed to using the name here? If not you must know which site) and I saw many VN from Shuffle to old VN. Now that I'd remember it back at 2003 I buy Jewel Knight Crusader (Thinking it was Tokyo Mew Mew games lol) and played it in my new computer, and my little brother and sister like "Huh?". Well, since it was nukige, I'd decided to change it with another game at the shop, and forget about VN for a while. And oh for the anime guess I like PreCure right now (You could guess from my avatar anyway), although recently I kind take a liking to Gochiusa and Kinmoza. Lastly, it was very late to introduce myself, but guess better late than not at all. It's my 41st post now, and hopefully my post here would help the user here. And if not I'd apologize if I couldn't help you, and sorry if some of my post here in the past was inappropriate here. And it's nice to meet you all here, even though it was very late. That's all for my introduction here, and sorry if my grammar here was not stable and bad English.

I'm just started this game, and sometimes watch the play through in youtube, so I think I could comment a little. For battle system, I think it's simplified version of Sengoku Rance, while the turn is like Sengoku Rance too of course. Also the premise looks like the same as Romanesque, with 2 action/turn thing (I knew Sengoku follow that, but with same company, I'll take Romanesque). The plot, to be very honest it's excuse plot one. But there were many thing that I want to comment in this game. Some of them are 1. Nobunaga and Himiko vitriolic best bud tendency. 2. Marco Polo attention toward Kublai Khan. Marco was slightly devoted toward Kublai, and if Kublai ever entered typical all girl high school in anime, I kinda wonder if all of the students will call her "Oneeeeee-samaaaaaaaa". I mean what's with her flirt other girls. 3. Lancelot glutton tendency. I kinda wonder here why the seiyuu of Lancelot not Asami Imai, otherwise Lancelot will be copy of Okitsu Ai from Yumina, except the hair color of course. 4. Speaking of Asami Imai, her role here was Yositsune. Right now I like her design the most, it remind me of her Majikoi one, which also had Yoshitsune character. Her end game skill like Persona 4 one (Hassou Tobi. Is Yoshitsune skill hit 8 times here by the way? Need confirmation). She need to use pad for her chest, because one clan cursed her family to be flat chested forever (I knew I supposed not to ask logic here, but could you give the curse better, like short age, die because blodshed or family feud, or always sick? Since it's grudge relating to Yoshitsune destroy the clan, of course the curse should be serious). Just want to laugh there. 5. Chinese queen had Isara and Ilya voice (Kadowaki Mai). When she cough blood, I ask that if she was related with Izumi Curtis from FMA. And I kind ask MC body double back at Noble Work, and turned out his father name was Izumi. Anyway, she was drank mercury, which of course worsening her health, and in real life the queen, Qin Shi Huang died because of it. Oh and looks like Lancelot could work as poison detector, because she knew how mercury taste. 6. Sanzou from the show that I watched was quite strict to Goku, but he'll listen to him if necessary. Here she was apparently managed to safely reach west and want to overthrow corrupt India government. Her preaching here was very long, so long that the bandit run away lol, and she mad MC as one of the companion, Hakka (Pig one, also Goku here is her monkey). Anyway, didn't know that the monk I'd watch 10 years ago turned to preachy girl with Makina voice. 7. Lastly, I've just watched the video andI saw here Rasputin is quite M. Deliberately late reporting 3 days for punishment lol, although if you delayed it 1 month I think you'll get the reward (Or not, since the S queen here just told her to stand very faraway probably). Rasputin being M here had some history connection though, since there's a trope called Rasputinian death, and Rasputin had fame for hard to died.Oh the seiyuu for S queen (Sakurai Harumi/Manaka Umi) also voiced Ami in Majikoi, and she gave same punishment to dirty old man who liked to be abused, not abused them lol. For the seiyuu, there's too much to cover but there was name like Asami Imai, Manaka Umi, Tomoe Tamiyasu (Sanzou voice), and Kadowaki Mai like I mentioned above. Ringorin here played as Benkei, Aoyama Yukari as Nobunaga, Ai Shimizu as Napoleon, and many more. Also Isshiki Hikaru who played Neon in recently translated Gahkthun and veteran with many role Kawashima Rino as Goemon. Anyway, I think that's all the impression I could give and happy new year to all user here. Oh by the way this is my first post in 2016.

To answer your question, actually there's a lot. Bordering silly too, but since you've read infamous one VN, how about recently translated Noble Works? Koichoco and Koirizo also nice to calmed you down. Hoshimemo or Princess Evangile too in case you want something old. Also you could try to read Shuffle or Majikoi. All of these still had some serious moment, but not as much as Saya no Uta though. In any case just search the info first and choose one from my recommendation.

@stormwolf I said although, and yes I realize that in Evangile we didn't have body double thing. What I want to imply was how many setting that our MC joined elite high school, okay. @decay To be very honest, the characters for this VN quite standard archtypical as usual moege, so of course there's nothing special imo, although I've added some my commentary to the character. With these type character, of course my choice is to focusing on the seiyuu, and what role they had in any other VN, or you could said maybe I was a little obsessive to seiyuu. Beside I think there was not only me who interested in Noble Works seiyuu, and of course there must some other user here who also interested, I think.

Looks like this year Christmas mean aggressive release of Visual Novel Translation, Gakthun and Noble Works. Since Decay already opened a discussion for Gakthun (Actually I also want to open Gakthun discussion, but after reconsidering it, better not), so I'll take my part to open Noble Works discussion. If some of you already saw my KoiChoco discussion, you surely know what my post format would be. Anyway, Noble Works premise to be honest was quite standard. I mean how many VN that have story our poor MC joined as elite high school students (Although this time he work as double for another student who had same face as MC) ? For translated one, we had Evangile and Otoboku iirc. For anyone who played and well versed in Japan, could you fill me the VN list with same premise? For the review, there is only one review from Aedes, and he said that this work was quite average. Here's the review. Although he said that the game is mediocre, but taste for each people of course different, so don't get discourage to try Noble Works, okay? The main draw of Noble Work to me was the seiyuu to be honest, especially for the heroine. Well as usual, I'll list the heroine, the role in VN, and which VN that had their work (Translated one and what VN I've know). 1. Kanemoto Akari - Your double older sister, and the daughter of Kanemoto conglomerate, which in game was one of the conglomerate who had major influence for the nation. Quite shy and apparently the maid teach her sex education using doujinshi, also she saw yaoi lol. The voice was provided by Manaka Umi, real name Sakurai Harumi. In translated VN, she mostly voiced sub character though. Her voice was Oone Kyouko from Sharin no Kuni, Rosetta from Romanesque, Sakaue Youko from Yumina the Ethereal, and Itagaki Ami from Majikoi. Oh, she was also voiced Tokido Saya in Little Busters EX, Takamori Haruka in Beat Blade Haruka, and Lily from Himegari. 2. Kunihiro Hinata - Our MC kouhai or younger schoolmate (Just in case some of you here new to VN or anime in general). Quite rich, but not as rich as Akari or Shizuru I think. Also apparently you could play billiard in her chest XDD (Hey, it's from translated scene, okay) She was voiced by Sasa Tsuyuka. Her real name was Nabatame Hitomi. As we know, Nabatame also quite famous seiyuu in the anime, although that didn't mean she have not much role in Visual Novel of course. Anyway, her role in VN was Shirakawa Nanaka in Da Capo 2, Nanashi in Duel Savior (In PS2 and we could hear her voice if we used PS2 Voice in Duel Savior patch), Tonami Yuma in To Heart 2, Aoi Sena in Chaos Head, Bazett Fraga McRemitz from Fate/Hollow Ataraxia PSV and Stacy Connor in Majikoi. Also Minazuki Sora in Baldr Sky duology. 3. Masamune Shizuru - One of students at MC new school, also granddaughter of Kanemoto conglomerate rival CEO. Very bad at shogi, and MC teach her how to play shogi. The voice was Natsunoo Koori, real name Taguchi Hiroko. She was one of well known eroge seiyuu because she was voiced Sumika (At least back in eroge games forum I've always heard that someone said that .... voiced by Sumika or something like that) and she had quite many role in translated VN as heroine. Her role was Kagami Sumika in Muv Luv franchise, Suou Amane in Grisaia franchise, Miyamura Miyako in ef, Hinata Natsumi in Sharin no Kuni, Crayanne in Kamidori, Kohaku in Shinigami no Kiss, and Kitsuki Riho in recently translated Koi Suru Natsu Last Resort. For untranslated VN, she was voiced Kasugano Sora in Yosuga no Sora and Yarai Miu in Dracu Riot. 4. Nagamitsu Maya - Your classmate and daughter of Yakuza, although she hate the corruption in the world and she loves filming that matter (Ironic since the yakuza I've known usually dealing with backhand politician thing or something like that). Quite skilled at martial artist. The voice was Aoba Ringo, known to fans as Ringorin. From the list in VNDB, she had the most credit for her singing in VN OP, but among heroine seiyuu for now she had the least credit for translated VN. Her role was Qoo Little-Little in My Girlfriend is the President, Sakurai Kanade in Deardrops, and Manaka Nemu in recently translated infamous euphoria. Oh my opinion for euphoria that the OP once again is very good with her singing, but the content looks like too extreme. Well, to each of their own. For untranslated one, she was voiced Shiina Sayane in Soukoku no Arterial and Shihodou Narika in Beat Blade Haruka. 5. Tsukiyama Sena - Kanemoto's family maid, and her wish was becoming Kanemoto's head family. Apparently she also students and attend the school with Akari and MC. Also last translated route. So we've had maid as heroine. Anyway, her voice was provided by Gogyou Nazuna and her real name was Ryouko Ono. Her role was Kusagawa Sasara in To Heart 2, Belle in Katahane, Kitajima Kaede in Sono Hanabira series, Amamiya Shizuku in Shinigami no Kiss, Melodiana in Kamidori and Mochizuki Amane in If My Heart Had Wing (Which infamously had the H-Scenes ripped for international release). Also she was voiced Migiwa Kazuha in Yosuga no Sora and Liselle L'ourson in Madou Koukaku. One more info. I've read in Aedes review that the game extra had instrumental version of heroine character song. So I've assume looks like Yuzusoft had some quite high production value for have the seiyuu for the heroine singing the character song. If you want to hear character image song, I'll give you the link for each Character Song, and the singer once again obviously the seiyuu for the character. 1. Kanemoto Akari 2. Kunihiro Hinata 3. Masamune Shizuru - Don't get fooled by Sena picture, okay. 4. Nagamitsu Maya - Same warning as with Shizuru Image Song. 5. Tsukiyama Sena I think that's all for the info that I could use to started Noble Works discussion. Well use this thread as discussion, okay. And let's find out who's your best girl in Noble Works. PS Almost forgot, thanks to fiddle and keisuke-kun (Sorry if I'm wrong) for translating this game. Edit (February 22nd) - Sorry for very extremely late, but our @Clephas also write his impression of this game back at VNDB. Here's the review in case you curious. Edit 2 - Since Christmas was already past 2 months, and easter will be around in 1 month anyway, guess I'll remove the Christmas part. Edit 3 - I'd forgot to said that this is the first Yuzusoft VN that finally got the translation, while in the past I was kinda hopeless that VN from Yuzusoft and August will got fully translated (And I rant that at erogegames forum). But, apparently fiddle and keisuke-kun prove me wrong by released the complete translation of Noble Works. So, thanks again to those two, for translating this VN from Yuzusoft.

I knew that Decay already made update for this project, but since I promised that I'll bump this thread, so I'll post current progress here. For progress, looks like the team face some challenge regarding background voice. Oh, my opinion for translator dilemma about background voice, I think it should go with 2 imo, unless the background voice contain very heavy foreshadowing of each routes/story, which from translator's comment it's not. 3rd option will only prolonged the progress while 1st option will annoy some people who want to know everything in SakuSaku. That's all for bump. Edit - For recap at SakuSaku there was background voice when character speaking. Option 1 was to let the voice left, option 2 was to disable background voice, and option 3 was to translate all of background voice (I might be wrong, since it was from 2 months ago).

@TexasDice If you want to get youtube video for KoiChoco ED, I think there is. Here's the link to the user who upload Koichoco ED, although the ED is from PSP, so you'll hear Non-chan senpai ED but the rest of 5 ED should be the same I think. If some of you who already played all route find that PSP ED different from PC ED, please tell me. The link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2et1bKql49luBtOLVdQmwg/feed Enjoy hear Koichoco ED, okay. To be honest I'm kinda disappointed that I couldn't hear the ED in Extra, only the BGM.

@texasdice Did you guess Mifuyu voice was Kaori Mizuhashi by the way? If so congratulation. Anyway, I read some novel and also watch the anime for research. Looks like the election is serious business, what's with getting 600 votes in short time for going to the real election. And Yume(Who had Kurama's voice from Yu Yu Hakusho) is quite gay to Yuuki, with his suggestive line. Actually, I think first 6 episodes and novel to covered up to that part, to be honest is very normal(Michiru said), but the part when they need to sell roll cake with high price(Oojima roll) is interesting, ESPECIALLY in anime, which they posed as Madoka character(In novel they cosplay as vocaloid though. Didn't understand it). Chisato as Madoka, Japan Monkey(Sarue) as Kyouko, English Monkey(Kii) as Sayaka, and Yume as Homura(I call Japan and English for duo monkey because Saru was monkey in Japanese). Either way it's quite interesting strategy to say the least. Although I have one very big question, if I want to buy Oojima Roll at anime with 1500 yen(Not that I had much amount of money anyway), could I ask Mifuyu to cosplay as Tomoe Mami and take the photo with all of the cosplayer lol. I leave up to your imagination what I want to imply lol. Oh speaking about MC, I guess he, well quite dense, but not as much as Sakura Beach(Well, I think no other MC beat his denseness anyway) and Mifuyu always had very soft tone but sarcastic to our MC, Oojima Yuuki. And Isara, well her voice remind me of Ilya from Fate, especially I just recently watch Fate Ilya(They had same seiyuu anyway). For Chisato, I think she was quite clingy for now. That's all for now.

Well, the title says it all. Look like the release time for English patch is almost come, so I'll open the discussion here. Koichoco, one interesting galge. It was make to 12 episode anime back at 2012. The plot is goes like our MC was forced to student council election because the club that belong to our MC and his childhood friend was about to abolished by the one of student council president candidate. So, the club (Food club) was decided to fight against the president candidate. Oh, as usual for galge, of course our childhood friend and student council president candidate was girl of course (Is there anyone else thinking if the candidate and MC's friend was male by the way XDD?). For the review comparison, I think you could read some of them if you didn't mind spoiler. Only 2 though. Here's the review 1. Warum - (WARNING: Contain mild spoiler) 2. Breadmasterlee - (WARNING: Unless you like HEAVY spoiler, don't open this site because this review contain very heavy spoiler) I think that's all the review I could find for the games. The rest of the usage of Google no Jutsu(lol) only resulted of anime review. But if you curious you may tried to watched the anime and comapre it with VN. For the heroine, we could date 5 girls here. For their bio and seiyuu, I'll list them below. 1. Aomi Isara She was poor girl in term of economy and on top of that she got bullied. Her voice according to VNDB was Anzu Mitsu, which her real name (Well usually Japanese eroge seiyuu like to use alias) was Kadowaki Mai. Her character was Kuki Monshiro in Majikoi S, Mare S. Ephemeral in Hoshimemo, and the most famous one was Illyasviel von Einzbern from Fate franchise. Speaking about Fate, my condolence for her fellow worker's death even if it's very late, Matsuki Miyu who was voiced Sapphire back in Fate Ilya. Speaking about Tsukihime remake, I think if Nasu want to add voice based on Melty Blood voice, good luck because Matsuki Miyu also voiced Hisui back in Melty Blood. Sorry for OOT. 2. Kiba Mifuyu Just thinking the same as Nagisa from Clannad (Sick and get hold back for one year), except without death, 2nd grade, and actually only club member instead of president. The voice for Mifuyu was Narusaka Arisu, which her real name was Kaori Mizuhashi. Her role was Matsushima Michiru in Grisaia trilogy, Kurokawa Kirara in Yumina the Ethereal, Eiferia Prada in Madou Koukaku, and Clea in Duel Savior PS2 Version. If some of you here fan of Madoka, she was also voiced some certain girl who become very famous thanks to episode 3 of Madoka (You all know who I mean). 3. Morishita Michiru Your junior, and she was joining club just before the election begin. Her voice was Inohara Riko, and her real name was Asami Imai. Her role was Makise Kurisu in Steins Gate, Okitsu Ai in Yumina the Ethereal, Nafqa in Madou Kokaku, and Lee Jinchu in Majikoi S. She was also singing many song, one of them was Ever17 PSP OP. 4. Shinonome Satsuki Your rival in election and the candidate who cause our MC to join election because of her policy that she will disband Food Club if she won the election. Yes, you can romance your biggest rival here. Anyway, her seiyuu was Konatsu Sumire, and the real name was Asakawa Yuu. Her role was Rider from Fate Stay Night, Komachi Tsugumi from Ever17, Iizuka Kaoru from Ayakashibito, and from recently (7 months ago actually) fully translated Majikoi Kawakami Momoyo. 5. Sumiyoshi Chisato Your childhood friend and head of food club.Her voice was provided by Kakitsubata Kikyou, and her real name was Nakamura Eriko. Her role was Lavinia Asai in eden and Lune in Madou Kokaku. Oh one more thing about the seiyuu. Actually each route ending credit was different song, and according to VNDB, the singing was the seiyuu of the route. For example Chisato route ending will be sang by Nakamura Eriko. I think that's all from me. Use this thread as discussion if you will. Oh and let's see which girl was interest you the most.

Finally Haruka's translation was complete. Congratulation for your very fast translation, arunaru. Now we only need to wait for editing, scripting, and beta testing from Mangagamer. Oh I think about the translation, once again it was very fast. I still remember 5 monthd ago I suspect him work together with Mangagamer and started translating Haruka, and here right now it was complete. About Haruka, I think I'll look forward to it, if only for awesome op.

Not really. I mean even without subtitle, I think the tune and voice is the one that you should enjoy imo. Although the Japanese music that I enjoy mostly from translated VN Opening anyway. For example euphoria OP, which as I was said several times the violin remind me of Shimomura Yoko, and yes I realized the premise for euphoria is very messed up to said it lightly. About FMA, I used to enjoy all of the opening from Brotherhood, and I think the first OP is the most memorable to me just because I hear it back when I had watched it once on television, although for the best I think 3rd Opening. 2nd OP is not too good imo. And yes I think I prefer Brotherhood over 1st series, although of course I would not hate anyone who like first series, because 1st series also had some charms for the fan and good point too. Before some of you turn this thread to FMA discussion (Sorry, couldn't resist my memory about FMA OP and I kinda want to tell my story here), once again it's not weird if you like Japanese music without understand anything, although if you understand it there would be also plus too. And come to think of it Symphonic Rain song is very enjoyable, if you ask me whether I'd ever heard other than VN OP song. I also used to enjoy Fairy Tail 7th OP, too. That's all from me.

Looks like the thread will be drowned if I didn't post it. So I'll bump this when necessary. Anyway, congrats to the team for update at the editing. Current progress right now is at 83% editing. That's all for now.

Kara no Shoujo 2 will be released in 6 days, so I figured I should try to start the discussion here, just like back at VNDB. About the game, Kara no Shoujo 2 is part of trilogy(For now) that was began from Cartagra. Mind if I suggest if someone want to discuss Cartagra and Kara no Shoujo we shall use term 'Kara no Shoujo trilogy'? Because MC in Cartagra play quite significant role in Kara no Shoujo iirc. The trilogy itself is quite infamous for murder and gore stuff, and for bad endings. For the story, our MC Reiji is trying to find out you-know-who from the first game, which iirc is involved in some accident and disappear. While in this game, we also had 2nd MC, Masaki whose past will be major point in this game(From the review I read). For the more info, you could search VNDB as usual, and read the review here, although all of them had spoiler. here's the link to each review: 1. Garejel - https://gareblogs.wordpress.com/2013/06/25/vn-review-kara-no-shoujo-2-虚ノ少女/. 2. Yoomi - https://moeblob.wordpress.com/2014/06/04/kara-no-shoujo-2-semi-summary-with-spoilers-12-summary-beware/. Beware of MAJOR SPOILER if you considered to open this review. 3. mdzz - http://mdzanime.me/2015/01/19/kara-no-shoujo-2-a-clay-doll-a-human-too/#more-9850. As the seiyuu, it has too much, so I couldn't cover for it, other than Oukawa Mio(Eris in SonoHana), Yoshikawa Kana(Ayaka in Evangile, Antoniette in Yume Miru Kusuri), Isshiki Hikaru played Side Character. Unlike previous game, this time our MC is voiced(Not that I'm against it, as long as he is cool enough, unlike Succubuss Soon MC and Reiji's voice quite deep and at least he didn't voice narration too, unlike once again Succubuss Soon), and the voice is none other than Suwabe Junichi according to VNDB. Although Mangagamer Staff Blog funnily enough said that Takahashi Ganaranai is quite unknown seiyuu, although he said that he heard his voice somewhere else(It must be when staff hearingArcher voice, and Takahashi is one of Suwabe alias). Another point is that for Main Character(According to VNDB), almost all of seiyuu is had not much role in other VN, except for one name, whose voiced Yukari, Reiji younger sister. The seiyuu of Reiji younger sister is none other than Kawashima Rino, which had HUGE list of role in Visual Novel world. According to VNDB, she had many roles in Eushully VN(Oktavia from Himegari, Serawi from Kamidori, Narumi from Soukoku, Alphimia from Madou Koukaku) and Liar-Soft VN(Mary from Sharnoth, Kia from Inganock, Yuna from Kindred Spirit). Her roles outside those 2 companies are Haru from G-Senjou, Margit in Majikoi, Yuuki from Subahibi, Asako from Grisaia Trilogy, and at recently translated VN Koinatsu as Kariu Nagisa. Last but not least. let's watch the Opening Video from Kara no Shoujo 2, with song that was sung by Haruka Shimotsuki. Here's the link to the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBU6rvo3Drc&list=PL5A015750EFF6BC08&index=41 And I already played the demo by the way. RIP Kamizono Mayu for got killed brutally, and looks like we'll have twisted murderer again, just like in past 2 games. Well, using this thread as discussion for Kara no Shoujo 2, okay? Don't get fooled by the discussion title.

First of all, am I breaking the rule for started unreleased translated VN here? If so I apologize, but you know, since here is more lively than VNDB, I figure it's better if I tried to start a VN discussion here. Anyway, the VN is SakuSaku, or if you prefer full name is Koi ga Saku Koro Sakura Doki. The premise is, may I said a word, is a little ridiculous, but we've never had bounty place on MC before, so guess it's a little interesting? From the visual aspect I must admit it was very refreshing and very good, so much that it earned many 10 on VNDB at the first time it was published there (Around 2014 when I tried to look at discussion section), although for now it's around 7.5 at VNDB and 71 at EGS (or according to VNDB is 7.1). From the opening, the song is very light and typical moege, so maybe the soundtrack will be typical moege as well. The interesting thing is that the seiyuu for each heroine will singing credit theme, according to VNDB. According to VNDB, here we had 5 routes. For heroines, MC could date his little sister, childhood friend, student council president, head of discipline committee, and love fairy. Yes, I didn't drunk when I'm writing love fairy. Believe me. For the seiyuu (Since I'd like to talk about seiyuu who voiced VN or anime character just in case someone want to ask why talk about seiyuu) we have Nakamura Yuuichi, Ai Shimizu, Kiritani Hana, and Satou Rina voicing side character. As for the heroine, the fairy love (Tina) seiyuu is very new in seiyuu world and childhood friend (Mio) and discipline committee (Yuri) seiyuu had quite nice experience in seiyuu (But the VN that had the caracter they voiced is still not translated yet). For student council (Ann), the voice is infamous headmistress aka Kitamikado Misako from Evangile, so infamous that someone here make a pointless thread of how headmistress is very evil and one of VNDB member going SJW mode and plead to us very obvious reaction for normal people that we should not judge Christian is evil because of headmistress. Sorry, still bitter about that, but please this is not place to discuss headmistress from Evangile. From 5 heroines, only little sister (Konami) seiyuu is the one with the most experience and she was voiced Asa back in Konosora and Koharu in Imouto Paradise. I think all of you better look at character section at VNDB here. Last section is for reviews. There were 2 reviews for this game. I think I would like to give some summary from the review, but if you didn't hate spoiler, go ahead and visit each review. Aedes - I think the conclusion would be that he hate love fairy very much (Looks like the love fairy in question was has some pet peeve trope for him) and he write down many spoiler. Joyjason - The conclusion is that the VN is quite mediocre, but could almost reached good eroge. Once again if you didn't hate spoiler or trying to find out what kind of VN is this before playing, go ahead. My opinion is that you better play for yourself, and if you want to enjoy it, just try to suspend your disbelief for Deus, plot, and character. And before I end this post, thanks to akerou for translating this VN, even though some people may find it unenjoyable and sorry for my bad English. Use this thread in future as Saku Saku thread. Oh and I'll not interfere to all member in regard of best girl in Saku Saku, although I think for now Konami's hat is nice.

Sorry for not updating for long time. But here's good news. Finally Haruka translation reached half of it aka 50% according to his twitter. Congratulations and keep up good work, Arunaru.

Sorry if you all already know, but just in case the protection program thing asking you to enter DVD (And even if you did that the stupid system asking you for serial number, which quite a pain to said it lightly), here's the crack. Just want to share and thanks for the patch, mdz. And I think Fuwanovel should delete Natsuyume Nagisa page once again.
