https://vndb.org/v9879 So a few months ago the English patch got released, I was excited enough to buy a physical copy based on the developer and decent hype for the VN. I just finished it last night and for the most part I wasn't disappointed. If you don't know, Tsujidou was made by Minato Carnival, a subsidiary of Minato Soft (which made the MajiKoi series). There was also a MajiKoi spinoff/April Fools jokes half-based in the Tsujidou universe in Shakadou-san no Jun'ai Road (https://vndb.org/v12791) which is really short. It had no Tsujidou characters but had a few recognizable MajiKoi characters and a new character in Sakura (I wish she came back). In any case, even though Tsujidou has a different main scenario water from MajiKoi, it's clear the writer of Tsujidou was very heavily inspired by MajiKoi. They even put a bunch of references to Kawakami and Kuki in the VN. The humor style and overall tone of the VN is similar. Really silly gag based humor with a penchant of going over the top even with character designs as well as having similar types of music. All the main girls are super powerful and most of the guys are whatever power wise minus a few. While it's somewhat more grounded since it's delinquent based instead of using samurai weapons it's clear that the girls are crazy powerful especially compared to how they look Lots of silly choices for humor purposes While there is romance, it's not gonna be consistently focused on it all the time and while light hearted there's still decent/memorable enough drama and character development While not as many there's still quite a number of recurring minor/side characters that are fairly important in each route Some kinda similar character archetypes (like the older sister is like a mix of Momoyo bullying and Miyako yandere-isms) Lots of silly bad/alternate ends They both like their REALLY long H scenes and ones that can be inappropriately timed, possibly even moreso than MajiKoi. Of course there are differences from MajiKoi that make Tsujidou stand out on its own A bit more grounded setting: delinquents and gangs in regular schools as opposed to the more formal schools based on creating fighters and having tournaments. While the humor style is similar they dont cut and paste jokes from MajiKoi. It has some really funny unique jokes of its own. I still crack up most of the time when there's those cut-in death glares in humorous moments. The main character is a little more standard fare as the 'nice guy' who doesnt like fighting as opposed to Yamato whos prides himself as a tactician and stuff. Only 3 main routes. There's also no unlockable/true route but when you read the VN and look at the title it'll be obvious who's basically the true route The whole friendship thing/big group of friends thing that was in MajiKoi isn't nearly as pronounced in Tsujidou. There are still shades of friendship stuff but not as much. The closest thing you get are some of the delinquent groups which kinda work like that but not really. The main thing that stuck out to me was the part where the routes branch and how unique the situation is compared to most VNs. I won't spoil what it is and it isn't SUPER mindblowing but it was really interesting how it was done and how it leads to the other routes. So obviously there's no guarantee you'll like this if you liked MajiKoi or even vice versa. That said, in my personal opinion if you're really thirsty for more MajiKoi while patiently for A-3 through A-5 I think this is a good alternative to hold you over for just a little longer. It's really fun.

I added in one for If My Heart Had Wings/Kono Oozora ni, Tsubasa o Hirogete - https://discord.gg/pjWQw57

Well the translators not liking something doesnt mean the general fanbase won't. Both Tsujidous have decent scores on vndb for good reason. It's no MajiKoi but its the closest thing we have and pretty good

Most of these should be welcome to all readers. Any who want to read the series, or have already and just want to discuss the VN (series). Just make sure to respect spoilers and any other rules the discord has. Not including things like Sol Press/MajiTL/Sekai/etc since those are professional discords and they can shill those as they want. If there's any I'm missing on the list, feel free to point them out and I can edit them in.

This seems like a VN with super easy obvious choices thankfully.

If there's no recommended route order, I'll save the best for last. Unless the heroines are all fuckin shit and I hate everyone else (which almost never happens). I usually go 2nd/3rd Best girl > Worst Girl > 2nd Worst Girl > 2nd/3rd Best girl > Best Girl

Oh don't worry I'm pretty far in to Renna's route and I went in hoping it wasn't exactly the same. I'm actually glad it had similar vibes to MajiKoi but a different overall setting, story and character archetypes But thanks for notifying me it's always in September. I'm on August 24 in Renna route so perhaps I can finish it this weekend finally.

Without spoiling anything in particular what is usually the last date/month any of the main 3 routes end?

Basically that and other opinions thrown around places like /r/visualnovels.

https://www.mangagamer.com/detail.php?goods_type=1&product_code=1049 ^It's a MangaGamer like so expect 18+ content. I'm interested in it since it's the same company (Moonstone) who did Princess Evangile. Apparently the romantic development won't be as interesting and it'll likely be closer to an average moege compared to Princess Evangile (or even moreso). The main thing that appeals to me is that all the heroines are apparently all different shades of deredere (my favorite dere <3) whether it's confident, childhood friend, stoic, refined (yamato nadeshiko?), energetic, shy+clumsy. Anyone else interested in reading this (eventually)?

Pretty much anyone who hates on English dubs for either outdated reasons (many of them have likely not given a good dub a chance) or stupid reasons ("no emotion" "Japanese/original is always 100% better no questions asked" "I can feel the better acting in Japanese even though I don't understand the language" "Dubs suck because everyone on the internet says so") It's one thing to prefer a language and you're fine to like subs more but hating on things for dumb/uneducated reasons has made me just avoid any topic related to dubs vs subs or hating on dubs since otherwise it'll just be me arguing with ignorant bigots.

If you don't get the hashtag, there's this trend on twitter for things like Games (#GameStruck4), Anime (#AnimeStruck4), Movies (#FilmStruck4), and likely others where people put 4 pictures and optional writeups of what either had the most impact or their favorites for that medium VNs are niche so I figure it's best to ask on a place like this. Anyway here's mine: MajiKoi - One of few things I love almost everything about. Sharin no Kuni - Solving girls' personal issues was super interesting/unique Symphonic Rain - Mindblowing twists and feels Konosora ReTL - First TL project of any medium (also loved the uplifting story) What about you guys?

I added Poll to the main topic. I see in walkthroughs the black hair heroine isn't always named so I put a vague name just in case unless it's ok to put her actual name.

For those who finished Tsujidou Jun'ai Road how long was your read through all the routes? I know the Save/Load Menu has an overall read time

Visual Novels are an inspiration

Honestly I've loved everything art-wise I've seen and/or read from Pulltop + Pulltop Latte So stuff like If My Heart Had Wings/Konosora, Miagete Goran/Sky Full of Stars, Tototo/Kanojo to Ore to Koibito to., Koisuru Natsu no Last Resort

General Kenobi!

The same could be said of almost all moege?

On March 11 on Twitter Could be a potential issue right now?

Hmm the dialogue is definitely very 'localized' but I don't mind it but I guess I can see why people can hate it but I guess they're pure to professionally written Japanese teen dialogue. The protagaonist sounds like a literal joke. Like he seems he's either savvy to being in a dating sim, he's an otaku, or he's just a weirdo dumbass. I have a feeling I'm not gonna like this tsundere but I guess it goes generally for violent ones. Some of the guy sprites look funny I guess they focus on making the girls look moe.

I'm interested in the blog

Nutaku link: https://www.nutaku.net/games/download/fueraba-friend-to-lover/ NekoNyan store will have it around 7:00 AM EST: https://nekonyansoft.com/shop It will also be on JAST and Fakku shortly today. Steam release will be delayed due to "build review process is taking longer than it should.": https://twitter.com/NekoNyanSoft/status/979103476155285510

* Best Story = Amane's route * Best Romance = uhh Sachi's I guess?

I'm excited that more (18+) otome got onto the top. Since Fashioning Lonesome seems to be a popular title for MangaGamer I wouldn't be surprised if they chose one of those to license here when they can.
