Yeah that was back from September 2016, did they remove the download link though? I still have it saved on my PC "minato10th_game.zip" 225MB. Similarly just found out they released additional routes as part of Majikoi A Special Edition: https://vndb.org/v20604

I don't know if there is any difference between the Steam version linked in the OP but you can also purchase the game from MangaGamer and Nutaku. MangaGamer: http://blog.mangagamer.com/detail.php?product_code=1027 Nutaku: https://www.nutaku.net/games/download/crimson-gray/

So I went ahead and took upon myself to write down excerpts of both translations so that people may be able to better judge between both translations, this is both parts of the same point in the game where Taishi first talks to Miki: Which translation do you guys think is better? AMATERASU TRANSLATIONS Translation (2009): There was a virgin stooping down in an unpopular corridor. Taichi: "Are you all right, Ojou-san?" I extended my hand toward her butt. Girl: "Whoa!" The girl displayed her formidability by standing up in an instant. Then she shuffled away to gain distance from me. She can switch to a state of military alertness in no time flat. Plus, in the moment she jumped up, she had sent an attack in my direction. Taichi: "......you're not half-bad." Girl: "Neither is Sempai." With one hand I stopped the mop she's thrown at my face, letting it fall silently to the floor. Taichi: "It feels like we haven't met in a while." Girl: "Yes, it does." There stood the girl, like a heroine from a famous fantasy novel adapated into a movie. But relax; that's only the way she looks. Taichi: "Since it's been so long, I seem to have forgotten your name." Girl: "Yaa." Taichi: "So be at ease......" Taichi: "Johnson." Girl: "At least use a girl's name." Her face told me she'd had enough of foreigners. Taichi: "You've improved, Miki." Miki: "Yes." Yamanobe Miki stuck out a chest so meager as to invite tears. Miki: "Because my butt is really high." Taichi: "Though I did touch it a little." Miki: "Because I let you." She's unfazed. Taichi: "But until I've flipped that skirt......" Miki: "You won't flip it. (definitively)" She's good. Bluffs won't work on her any more. Taichi: "Very well. This time I shall leave the flower alone." Miki: "Ehe." She smiled widely. Uwaa, hug me... Taichi: "What've you been doing? Cleaning for fun?" Miki: "Ah, yes, there seem to be a lot of filthy spots around here." Miki: "And I like to clean." She was putting her fictional muscles into it. Taichi: "You're doing this spontaneously? That's so cool!" Taichi: "......aah, I get it, I get it, no need to tell everyone, my sweet. You want my autograph, don't you? The autograph of I, Ijuuin Taichi! You've been urging me for it through this display of school piety!" (TL note: Taichi is most likely referring to Ijuuin Hikaru, a popular Japanese TV and radio personality.) Miki: "......aah, aah...... so that't it." Miki: "Haven't heard that gag in a while..." She made a truly pained face. In fact she seems like she's about to cry. In fact she seems like she's about to cry. I thought that two times over. Now don't panic; deal with this calmly. As an elite young adult candidate who's tasted both the sweets and sours of life! Taichi: "WhWhWhWhWhWhat's wrong, Yamanobe-kun!? If you don't want me to, then I won't think of filling in that blank space on the paper! I' stating this honestly!" My voice was shaking. Taichi: "Oh no, she's crying, awawa." I wiped the corners of her eyes. she was about to make me cry too. Miki: "Ah, no, it's nothing, yeah." Miki: "Just a bit of youthful fluid leaking from my tear ducts......" Taichi: "What......?" Youthful fluid? Taichi: "Don't scare me." I wiped away my cold sweat. Taichi: "Then this time I shall postpone the prince's (my) autograph signing." Miki: "No!" A scream that could make her throat hoarse. Miki: "I need it! Please do it!" Taichi: "Y-You want it that badly?" I shrunk back. Miki: "Please do it, please do it." She repeated 『Please do it』 with a shrill voice. My lower abdomen was getting hot. Why is that? Why is it doing that? My corpus cavernosum is always ignoring my will and running wild on its own--- Even if I focused my thoughts on fairy tales, the beastliness wouldn't disappear. Taichi: "F, fine, I'll do it." Miki: "Here you go." Miki fumbled around on her vertical chest, then took out her Matebook. That's what they call the notebook which also doubles as the school's identification card. Indeed. It seems you do not know of the existence of this school's historic 『Matebook』; the #1 popular high-class public bathhouse available behind the train station of this 『City』. (TL note: Taichi is most likely alluding to the ancient Roman public bathhouses, which were then a major part of daily social intercourse. He also seems to be creatively specifying the half of the city he lives in.) You're given the notebook when you become a member of this society, and you receive a princess stamp each time you make use of it. Based on the stamps you collect, they may decide to let you moderately enjoy prizes such as 'W' and 'Triple.' ......the Triple. What kind of word is that? Is that Shangri-la Is the sun yellow? An erection has come...... Crap. If I shift to a forward-leaning position, Miki's going to catch on. Miki's a virgin, but she's well versed in male biology. Because I taught her. She'll notice whether I lean forward or not, but if I remain dignified, I can at least save face. Miki: "......" Ah, she glanced. Miki's face is fairly red now. She says nothing. She looked out of the window with a slight shyness. Uwa, that just makes it more embarrassing. Say something. Please use your words to toy with me. The insolent yet shameful god of destruction was suppressed. Perhaps because he has no firsthand experience, he's weak when faced honestly. Direhara is prohibited. *Direhara = Taichian for direct sexual harassment. Mostly immature indecency such as exposing genitalia and making a female touch them. Topknot, detonation switch, single-hook fishing, etc. Depending on the situation they may be seen as perverted conduct. Or I should say, all of those are perfectly inexcusable acts of perversion. Taichi: "You've nearly used up your notebook, Miki. It's falling apart." Miki: "Falling apart." Miki meaninglessly repeated my word as a form of agreement. As I flipped through the pages, I found my very large signatures already scribbled in the margins. GEORGE HENRY SHAFT Translation (2013): A maiden was crouching in a corridor devoid of human presence. Taichi: "Is everything well, oujou-san?" I extended my hand towards her behind. Girl: "Woh'tt'ooo!" In a display of explosive force, the girl stood straight up, and gained distance with a suri-ashi. She's quick to transition into combat readiness. And, simultaneously with her springing up, she inflicted an attack on me. Taichi: "...nice one there, very nice." Girl: "Same to you, Senpai." The rag that she threw towards my face fell from the one hand I had caught it with to the floor, in silence. Taichi: "Been a while, hasn't it. 9, no, almost 10 hours now?" Girl: "It has." This girl so like the heroine of that famous fantasy novel adapted to the big screen stands up. Be at ease. That's just her looks. Taichi: "Would it be strange if I said that we haven't met in a long enough while that I forgot your name and the like?" Girl: "Naaah." Taichi: "Ah, but be at ease..." Taichi: "Johnson." Girl: "At least use a girl's name." A face one could say had had enough of being thought foreign. Taichi: "You've improved your skills, Miki." Miki: "Yep." Yamanobe Miki stuck out a chest so unplentiful it invites tears. Miki: "Because my behind is valuable." Taichi: "Although I managed just to graze it." Miki: "Fanservice." Unperturbed. Taichi: "But until I flip that skirt..." Miki: "You shan't flip. (Decisevely)" Not bad. Bluffs are no longer effective, then? Taichi: "But it's fine. For this once, I'll let you carry the flowers so that you can take credit for this." Miki: "Eheh!" She smiled brightly. Waaah, hug meee! Taichi: "Watcha doing? Playing cleaning lady?" Miki: "Ah, yes, things are a bit dirty lately." Miki: "Me, ah' like 'em clean." She flexes an Imaginary bicep. Taichi: "All of your own initiative, that is very cool yes!" Taichi: "...ahhh, I get it, I get it, say nothing further my sweet! There's no way, it's about my autograph, right? You desire the autograph of this Ijuin Taichi here. You've merely engaged in the good manners typical of our chosen career path and made a demand in ways roundabout." Miki: "...ahh, yeah... that one, yes." Miki: "Really been a long while there." She makes a face that looks pained. Or should I say, isn't she as if about to cry? I even thought that twice dammit. Getting flustered is a no go, cope with this with composure. Like an elite cadet of yound adulthood who is experienced in the ways of the world, having tasted both its bitter and its sweet! Taichi: "Wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-what is wrong, Yamanobe-kun?! If that is so disagreeable, than I shall not even think to wast that blank space! I proclaim this with honesty, see?!" My voice just shakes. Taichi: "Ohhh, she's crying, ahWahWah!" She wipes the corners of her eyes, which carries me to tearfulness as well. Miki: "Ah, no, it's nothing, SAH!" Miki: "It's just that my lachrymal glands leaked some adolescent juice..." Taichi: "Whoa..." Adolescent juice then. Taichi: "Don't scare me then." I wiped off cold sweat. Taichi: "Well then, this time the Autograph of the Prince (me) is postponed." Miki: "NO!" A shriek as if her throat was hoarse. Miki: "I need you in this! Do this please!" Taichi: "Y, you want this done to you that badly?" Faltering from my direction. Miki: "Do this please! Do this please!" I'm repeatedly called to "do this please" with a shrill voice. The lower abdomen grew hotter. But why, really? For what reason, even? Why must the erectile tissue of this innocent young boy ignore my volition and just rage--- I may have thought this in the tone of a fairy-tale, but the graphicness didn't go away. Taichi: "I-, I got that, well then 'that' I'll do." Miki: "Here!" Miki groped about her perpendicular chest, then produced her MateBook. So it is called at this school, this ID booklet with a second role. Yes. No dignitary of this school would be unaware of the existence of MateBook, the high-class bathhouse #1 in popularity located in the popular spot behind the main City's train station. A notebook is given on gaining membership, and for every use a Princess Stamp is received. The accumulation of stamps is the measure of how cheaply once can enjoy services such as the Double or the Triple. ...what's even a triple now. What kind of world would be that? Would it be Shangri-la? And is the sun yellow? I have erected... This is bad! If I take a gentle forwards Shift here, Miki will notice. Miki might be a literal maiden, but she is acquainted with male physiology, because I explained it to her. Even if I don't lean I'll likely be spotted, but if I stay confident, I should at least look cool. Miki: "..." Ah, she glimpsed right then. Miki's face goes fairly red. She says nothing. She turns her gaze towards the outside via the window, and fidgets slightly. Wah, this is even more embarrassing! Say something! Please make sport of me with words instead! But the embarrasment is so great that this savage god of destruction grows subdued. As a consequece of a lack of combat experience, perhaps, direct confrontation is a weakness. Directassment prohibited. * Directassment = Taichian for the Direct Performance of Sex-related Harassment. Mainly, infantile acts of obscenity such as exposing one's genitalia and making a person of the opposite gender touch it. Imitation chonmage, self-destruct button, fishing with a pole, et cetera. Depending on the situation, these could end up being considered molestation. Or should I say that they all are flawlessly unquestionably molestation. Taichi: "You've been using this notebook thoroughly, Miki. It's all worn!" Miki: "All worn." Miki assents by meaninglessly repeating my words. Flipping the pages, I see annotation fields filled with my large-sized signature.

A great poet once said "people die when they are killed."

This game needs a 3rd translation!

So I went ahead and from the looks of it I managed to install GHS patch properly, I'll post a translation comparison soon.

So I started reading Cross Channel Amaterasu translation and uuugh, I basically had to re-read each line at least twice and rearrange it in my head so that it made a semblance of sense, this is one of Amatersu earlier work so I understand it isn't as good as Amaterasu later works (Rewrite, Comyu) but yeah based on the example you provided George Henry Shaft is far easier to make sense of.

Now that you mention it, this month mark the 4th year anniversary since MoeNovel's infamy upon KonoSora!

They don't ship it outside Japan. AmiAmi doesn't seem to have it up for pre-order either.

Wait what? Since when?

Oh? Then what about euphoria? fw pls

Yep yep, some of the content in euphoria and Maggot Bait is a lot more hardcore than this and it wasn't censored, while in comparison this was pretty tame but still cut from the game. Operation Rainfall basically shows you what was censored here: http://operationrainfall.com/2017/07/03/ax-2017-frontwing-panel-announcements/

Absolutely. 1. Board a plane to Japan 2. Go into an Otaku store in Akihabara 3. Buy all the Majikoi goodness that you want 4. ???? 5. PROFIT!

Amazon.co.jp ship outside Japan, but ONLY All-Ages (meaning no eroges for you).

I am not disappointed because it's on PC and that means that eventually someone could patch in the censored content. Hell, 4 years ago I pretty much could keep up with the english released VN, but now so much stuff is releasing that I can't even keep up with it, more stuff is getting released than I can read,k that's a good thing!

Mahoyo translation when?

MangaGamer is the only one with the galls to do anything right round 'ere.

The physical copies won't be shipping until 2018.

Yep. Kazuko #foreverflat

Django is still going then? Wow, when do they plan to release this and Sumaga? Those games aren't even that long. Majikoi in 2025 then?

Chaos;Head and Django were officially "cancelled" (I put it under parenthesis because JAST refuted the fact that Django was supposed to be coming over and they basically said that Chaos;Head wouldn't be coming because it was too old and they had better things to do).

I know that the available patch is a partial translation, but how much is missing in terms of english translation? Cause I'd like to read it, but not if 20% of the game is still in japanese. Yeah, he even went as far as deleting all of his reddit posts: https://www.reddit.com/user/2KE1/

Sounds like Alice Soft?

Isn't "yeah123" a "she" though?
