I would very careful with saying it releases in the west. Aniplex didn't release Adabana Odd Tales for Europe on Steam nor did they release Everyday♪ Today's Menu for the Emiya Family for the Switch in Europe. I see it as very likely that they proceed to ignore Europe. Until I see listing for the European PS4 or Switch e-store it's going to be an US-release but not an western one. The idea of a physical European release I discarded a long time ago but no digital release would be a slap in the face. Love to be wrong about it, but I have no faith in Aniplex.

Personally I am really excited by the announcement. It's one of the VNs that I have been most interested in for years. Definitely a day one buy and read. Hanachirasu to this day has the best combats scenes of all VNs that I read, looking forward to seeing what Narahara Ittetsu masterpiece has to offer.

Conjueror listed the VNs he translated on his blog:
The same is true for the VNs Gare ( @garejei ) worked on:

For Tokyo Babel they are also official credited in the Opening.

For some reason the milady end doesnt work, I tried it about 3 times and even started a new save from the start to make sure I made the correct decisions, and every time I just get the witch end. Any clue what im doing wrong?
The old walkthrough had a mistake (a choice was missing), so maybe that was the problem?
I edited the walkthrough above. If that doesn't help maybe try asking on the Mangagamer Discord: https://discord.gg/Xb28rjc
I haven't had much time to read Jeanne until now, so I can't really help. Sorry

Here is an English walkthrough courtesy of the translator ZackZeal:

Glad to see there's no geoblocking this time! (Or at least, not in my region.)
I don't think it's geoblocked. My guess is that Adabana Odd Tales geoblocking wasn't on Liar-Soft and rather on Aniplex.
But I can't really check it since it is Adult-tagged on Steam and with that not accessible for where I am anyway.

Mangagamer announced today that Jeanne at the Clock Tower will release on June 10th.

The voice actors for Mikazuki and Meguru did a little skit for the English release of Musicus.
It's cute so have a watch. ^^

Is there a particular reason why the title is still marked as adult-only on Steam even if it has a separate adult patch? According to MangaGamer the Steam edition is all-ages, so why is it tagged as adult-only?
I have read on the Discord that Steam insisted on the game being tagged Adult, even with the scenes removed. So they didn't have much of a choice.

For some reason the Steam version isn't available in Germany and as I don't have a credit card I can't get the game from Mangagamer itself either. So it seems like I'll have to put off reading it for the forseeable future...
Yeah Steam decided to tag the Steam version as Adult and with that it is out for german customers, even though the game is censored on Steam.
But there is the option to buy from Mangagamer without an creditcard. You can mail to [email protected] to ask for payment though PayPal. You just need a Mangagamer account and Paypal for this.

Here is the second character introduction for Musicus on Mangagamer Blog:

This week on Thursday (April 8th) Musicus! the final game of the VN developer Overdrive is going to release. So I thought we could need a new thread with all information in one place.
You can find the Mangagamer version here (NSFW!)
https://www.mangagamer.com/r18/detail.php?product_code=1221&af=3a123f6214695bfacaa881bd3117c693
And the Steam version can be found here:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1418180/
And here is the official Japanese website: (Where the translation of the game was originally "leaked" long before Mangagamer officially announced the title. ^^)
https://musicus.over-drive.jp/
The Steam version will be censored and the 18+ scenes removed. And there won't be any replacement scenes like there are sometimes with console All-Age releases. From what I heard it is going to be a fade to black with a sentence telling the player what happened. But you can find a patch for the Steam version on the Mangagamer store page for Musicus.
And on the Mangagamer Blog we got the first character introduction for the main protagonist. There should be more of those posts hopefully before the release.
And if you want to listen to OST of this music themed VN you can get a taste on YouTube:
The same channel has more of the soundtrack uploaded.
Walkthrough:
And for those that are looking for a walkthrough I have some general information from SSparks31 of the QA team for Musicus from the Discord. Although you could consider them a minor spoiler, so take a look at them on your own risk. The route structure doesn't seem to be too complicated so a blind playthrough shouldn't be a problem.
SpoilerPersonally I'd say the order you reach them, plus Mikazuki last
So Yako -> Meguru -> Sumi -> Mikazuki
(For the love of god don't do Sumi last)For Yako you have to focus on school rather than the band
For Meguru you have to mostly agree with Meguru
For Mikazuki you have to mostly agree with Mikazuki
For Sumi you have to not do any of thoseComment: I consider these only a spoiler since Sumi is not listed on either VNDB or the official website, so could argue that her(?) route is a secret.
And here is a the full english walkthrough/guide courtesy of threepwood007:
SpoilerCommon route:
Choice 1:
I've been studying hard to get into college, but to be honest, I've started to entertain other avenuesChoice 2:
“I'm actually a little jealous.”Choice 3:
“I'm gonna do both.”Choice 4:
“You might be right.”Choice 5:
"Tell Ozaki-san about what happened over summer, including joining a band."Choice 6:
“I can't know what the future holds, but that's a possible path.”Choice 7:
“I don't care what anyone thinks. I'll choose my own path through my own values.”Choice 8:
“I still don't know, but part of me wants to know exactly what he saw.”### SAVE 1 ###
Yako/School route:
Choice 9:
“Whatever form it takes, there's no way I can gamble on my life.”Choice A1:
"Take his hand." - CG, no effect on route
"No way I'm spying on them." - skip CG, no effect on route### reload SAVE 1 ###
Choice 9:
“I don't want to bring sorrow. But it's definitely possible to bet it all on something in life.”Choice 10:
“I haven't thought of it. I just wanna be up on stage again, and figured I need to make a band to do that.”Choice 11:
“If we can have fun playing, that's plenty for me.”Choice 12:
“Because it's cool. Is that not reason enough?"Choice 13:
“You're right. It might be good input for later.”Choice 14:
“No, I think I'm more like you on this one.”### SAVE 2 ###
Meguru Route:
Choice 15:
“I think I'm on Kosaka-san's side. Expressiveness aside, I want to enjoy music as music.”### reload SAVE 2 ###
Choice 15:
“I'm basically closer to Mikazuki. I think through music, and performing it, I want to transmit something to people.”Choice 16:
“I'm fine with just the people who understand.”Choice 17:
“No, this wouldn't cut it. Our live shows had to be perfect every time.”### SAVE 3 ###
- this choice has a third option in the script that's not present 1st time throughChoice 18:
“We'll say it's a song Hanai-san wrote, and announce it at the anniversary of his death.”
- route is the same, but select this for a new song in the gallery### reload SAVE 3 ###
Choice 18:
“We'll announce it as a new song. But we're not saying that Hanai-san made it.”### SAVE 4 ###
Choice 19:
“Think about the band later. You should do this.”
-Leads to Sumi route### reload SAVE 4 ###
Choice 19:
“I can't agree to this. We're getting busier, and you won't be able to balance both.”
-Leads to Mikazuki route### For Choice 18, if you deviate from the guide consistently then you will get a third choice. There isn't any benefit to choosing it over entering the Sumi route intentionally.
And finally there is the Japanese Seiya-Saiga walkthrough: (Altough I would recommend the english walkthrough above for those that read the english translation!)
If there is anything I missed or that should be changed please let me know and I am going to edit this post.
And with that out of the way I wish everyone a good time with this VN.

It has been announced last year but without the convention I guess the announcement got less eyes on them. Looking forward to it myself altough I am a bit worried that it might be "overhyped". Should we use this thread for a discussion or should we open a new one with more information (picture, purchase information etc.) in the opening post?

Mangagamer is looking back at the last year in this blog post:
https://blog.mangagamer.org/2021/03/01/a-look-back-at-2020-and-the-2021-licensing-survey-begins/
And is asking for feedback in their yearly Licensing Survey linked at the bottom of the blog post or linked directly here:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeYh89JpGjmMkIXCbGS0eLgijipb3i1PzJs5qL5O4F3Xi7oBQ/viewform
What are the wishes of the Fuwanovel members? Same as last year or did anything change?
You can find last years results of the survey here:
https://blog.mangagamer.org/2020/09/14/2020-licensing-survey-results/
Last years most wished for title Evenicle 2 has been announced since but the other titles are still unlicensed.

Since I started this topic last year, I thought should share the latest tweet from Light's twitter account.
https://twitter.com/light_staff_tw/status/1353504981836414976
So they get asked about a Silverio translation again and responded with "no plans at this time" and honestly it doesn't look like the chances have improved. But that didn't stop someone from creating a petition to show support for Silverio so have a look here:

Also consider responding to the tweet if you are interested in SIlverio.

The release date for official release of Majikoi by JAST has been announced and it is tomorrow December 25th!
https://twitter.com/jastusa/status/1341026098662891523
You can buy the game here:
https://jastusa.com/majikoi-love-me-seriously
Those that have preordered the physical edition will get digital keys so that they can play on release while the physical shipment is being handled.
Unfortunately due to licensing issues the English release won't contain the full voice cast of the Japanese release, but the main characters are all still voiced. You can read more about this in this blog post:
Blog post is NFSW!
https://blog.jlist.com/featured/official-jast-usa-post-about-majikoi/
But there are already rumors that the community is working to fan patch the missing voices into this release so maybe it won't be an issue for long.

ShiraVN has announced today that Meteor World Actor released on Johren (the western DMM games platform).
https://twitter.com/shira_vn/status/1333223068282482688
Here is the Opening:
And here is the link to the Johren store page (THIS LINK IS NSFW!)
https://www.johren.games/games/download/meteor-world-actor-en-zh/
The game is discounted for 50% during the launch week and is available for 20$ right now. Johren is the only platform for now after the game has been rejected multiple times from Steam the over the last year.
And Finally @Clephas has written a review of the Japanese version here: https://forums.fuwanovel.net/blogs/entry/2846-ryuusei-world-actor/
You should definitely give it a read if you are interested in the title.

ATRI -My Dear Moments- is now also avaible on the JAST Store.
https://twitter.com/jastusa/status/1329847238856642562
The same is true for Adabana Odd Tales which is important in that now European customers can buy the title for the first time.
-
So while the situation on Steam never changed (Adabana Odd Tales is still blocked in most of Europe) Aniplex has now decided to put their games on the JAST USA store that of course has no block for European customers.
https://twitter.com/jastusa/status/1329848103952818177
In other words anyone from Europe can now officially buy Adabana Odd Tales if they want!
I am not going to lie I have no idea what their problem on Steam is, since my theory that they don't have the license for Europe is now invalid, but that's good news. If they continue to put their games on the JAST store I wouldn't even mind if they translate more games, where before I would have hated if they published more games.
ATRI -My Dear Moments- is of course also avaible on JAST.

Witch on the Holy Night (Mahoutsukai no Yoru) will be officially released in the West on January 27th 2023

I am not familiar with the Switch store but for PS4 you would need to create a separate account and I am unsure if you can use your credit card / PayPal on both accounts. Otherwise you would need US wallet charge card. But it seems that my concerns are unfounded.
If they release the trial on the European PSN store it seems likely that they also release the game. So maybe my concern was too hasty. Would be positive step forward if they release it over here and I would apologize for the unfounded criticism. The next dream would then be a physical release in Europe.
