After the OVA that just came out, holding out on going untranslated to read this. Although I probably still have to since I plan on going with Nagisa first, but I Can't wait to see how it's going though!
Hi there, I hope we can help you with your future VN adventures (also do note that you can participate in the mentor program if you want help to find future VNs)
I've started work on Ari's route again, but my earlier prediction of late November will probably not come true so sorry about that. Also, we are still in search of TLCs, especially now that a route is planned to finish soon. Do kindly send me a PM if you are able to help out, we really need the help.
Some people like to read VNs as soon as humanly possible. Some like to just preview the translations to come. Sometimes a translation is abandoned part way through, never to finish. Whatever reason they may have, many like to read partial translations. Plenty of VNs make this easy due to their route-based structure. You can often get a complete story even if there are only one or two routes available. However, despite there being a resource to list all VNs completely translated, there is none to list those that are only partially translated. This list will encompass both translations currently in progress and those that are not. It will NOT, however, cover the current progress of in-translation projects, it will only tell you how much is available in its released partial patch. If you want to keep up to date of all translations currently in progress, please follow the VNTS updates arranged by Tay and I, and follow the VNTL-Moon update aggregator.
Note: This post will not cover interface or machine translations. There needs to be at least some manual translation of the story text. When possible, I will try to link to the project pages, but sometimes those are no longer available.

You will find the legitimate price of H games to be quite high by western standards, when you are fortunate enough to even find a Japanese company that will take your money and supply you with the product. Sometimes Amazon.co.jp will allow you to buy new products sold by Amazon outside of Japan, other times they will not. You can try dlsite.com to see if they happen to have a title you want, or take a look at auctions.yahoo.co.jp to see if you can find a used copy at a price that won't break the bank after paying a proxy bidding company to bid on it for you and ship it to you. If you don't mind a download, you can also try purchasing directly from the publisher's website. That is typically the cheapest way to get a game legitimately when you are not in Japan. Unfortunately, the link at VNDB leads to a domain that certainly isn't being used by a Japanese game company so that may not help you a whole lot. If you happen to know what the new URL is, I'd suggest looking for a way to buy it there.
