Formlose Gestalt

No doing Asuza first also works. Asuza and Yumi reveal the same aspect of Kotori's story.

I agree with what you said. The argument on Discord was that the other routes spoil an aspect of Kotori's story so you should read hers first, while Kotori's route (apparently) doesn't spoil the other heroines stories. Honestly I am not the best person to argue on their behalf since I only read Yumi & Asuza so far and I don't regret reading them first, since the aspect they reveal about Kotori's story only wants me to read her story more. Maybe I should have just omitted the other opinion on Discord but since the guide doesn't offer any recommendation on route order I thought should add what information I have, even though I haven't completed Nanairo Reincarnation yet.

I tought about making a guide here once I finished Nanairo Reincarnation, but one tester from Sekai project aldready made a english walktrough on steam: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1883723438 @Clephas wrote on his review that his recommended reading order is Yumi > Asuza > Iyo > Kotori (End 1) > Kotori (End 2) That's the order I am following right now, but on Discord there was someone that said he liked reading Kotori before everyone else. I am not finished, so I can't really comment on this but keep that in mind.

There is one scene that I encountered that is bugged. I think it's called "Meal 4". It is a dinner scene. I think the bug is caused by line that is erroneously inserted from earlier that day. My solution for the problem is that I clicked through the scene until it's over , save there, go to the main menu and read the scene again in the scene selection from the main menu where it is not bugged!

I have heard nowhere that they declared bankruptcy! In the article that Seraphim88 quoted it states "The official Twitter account for the sprite company revealed on Sunday that the company will cease operations at the end of March, and its "sprite STORE" online store will also close at the same time." Cease operations is not a bankruptcy. In another article it is state that they halted operations. So their financial situation was never so dire that they had to declare bankruptcy instead they decided to stop and sell their brand (Sprite) and the rights to their games. What is left open for interpretation is if they made a loss with Aokana and decided to stop or if they thought that the profit of Aokana was to small for the effort that they put in and considering the trend for the Vn industry (declining) they decided to stop before they make a loss. But I guess it matter little in the grand scheme of things. Here are link to the arcticles I am referring to: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-02-11/aokana-game-maker-sprite-halts-operations-at-end-of-march/.143245 https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2018-06-26/aokana-game-maker-sprite-halts-operations/.133419

What you say could make sense (Having more interest in the western market and wanting to translate more games etc.), depending on how independent Mangagamer and Nexton are. If they are rather independent companies what you said makes sense, but if Nexton had a lot of influence over Mangagamer they could demand Mangagamer to focus more on their titles. Or that they expand there staff to work on more projects. (Since most staff for the translation are freelancer anyway. Not that there is an unlimited supply of capable translation staff. Quite the contrary.) But I guess we won't ever get the full picture of how they are (financial) structured and connected. It would be pretty interesting to see what happens behinds the scenes of the official translation scene and probably pretty headache inducing.

Thanks for posting this, I wasn't aware of their english website and Discord. I am a bit confused why they want to work with another llocalization company beside MG. Isn't MG founded by them (together with other companies) or is that a misunderstanding on my part? Anyway I voted for: Yami to Hikari no Sanctuary

Don't quote me on that because I have no source, but I am pretty sure I read somewhere that sprite didn't go under but decided to stop making VNs, to seek more profitable work elsewhere. (mobile games?) I think it was on twitter or Discord where someone more familiar with sprite or the Japanese industry wrote that, but I would be happy if someone could point me to a source that prove or disprove what I just said.

I finished Yumi's route and am now starting Azusa's route. How far are you?

He was probably referring to this guide on Seiya-Saiga: http://seiya-saiga.com/game/silkysplus/nanarin.html (It's usable with Google translate if you can't read japanese like me.)

Yeah I also prefer the new character designs over the old ones and as far as I am concerned I can very clearly see the resemblance of both designs.

I am curious about Keishichou Tokumu Bu Tokushu Kyouakuhan Taisaku Shitsu Dai Nana Ka: Tokunana since it's written by Higashide Yuuichirou the author of Tokyo Babel and Fate/Apocrypha. Original anime are interesting, since at least they are not just overblown commercials for a manga or LN.

The Kickstarter is now live:

Discord. Here is the quote from one of the testers. That's all I got for now. Once I read both versions I can say more, but it will take a while.
