    The results of Sprite's Aokana popularity poll are in!

    Main heroines
    1. Misaki
    2. Mashiro
    3. Asuka
    4. Rika

    Others
    1. Saki
    2. Madoka
    3. Satouin
    4. Minamo
    5. Aoi

    How Saki managed to nab first place for the supporting cast is beyond me. Personally, I'd put her in last place on the list, if I'd even let her be on it.

    Same reason as Mashiro, the Japs love Lolis. Saki is pushing it though, she has no personality and is kind of annoying. Atleast Misaki won deservedly, maybe we'll get something more for her next year :sacchan:

     

    I dunno how anyone could beat Madoka out of the side characters though, she was hilarious. Aoi as well, not as good as Koichoco's sensei but she was a pretty interesting character, shouldnt be last and esp shouldnt be behind Minamo who barely appears.

     

    On a side note, Sad that we got no releases this month, probably only getting Perfect edition in a week from Nekonyan and thats it. All this free time, nothing new to read ;c

    What makes Aokana's case different from Majkoi? From what I was told, both are being milked to death, either by sales of merchandise, or new entries in the series.

    Edit:

    By the way, I have nothing against it, just so you don't misunderstand me xD

    If Aokana was actually being milked to death through merch, then I'd be able to get some Shindou merch.

    And some Shion merch, and some Minamo merch, and some Satouin merch, and some Shirase merch, and some Aoi merch, and some Inui merch, but those are certainly all secondary to my need for some Shindou merch.

     

    @Infernoplex Basically what he said and Majikoi released around 7 Fan Discs, almost a release every year after the main game came out

    I have not played the game, but know more or less what the linked blogpost reveals:

    I don't mind twisted love or such things. I only hope someone ends up happy. That's all I'm looking for.

    If I hear that this is nothing more than a tragedy then I really won't bother with it. DDLC is the absolute limit of what I'm willing to tolerate.

     

    I am pretty sure if you stick to a route and dont try to 'cheat' you get the happy ending

    Dont expect every release to be an Akabei-Soft or a Yuzusft..also i definitely wont go as far as calling it a shit VN... i am thoroughly enjoying it.. just like how i enjoyed Noble Works and  PE...

    Almost every release of theirs are obscure VNs that not many people are interested in

  5. Another project update was given recently, Hello Lady and Making Lovers are essentially done(over 90%) and will probably enter QA and engine work soon

    Senren Banka is still under 70% done and thats supposed to be their next release in about a month. Not sure what their plan is here, I hope there arent any more delays. Need some releases for the break! 

    Also as a nice surprise, one of their secret projects is 100% tled and edited and slated for early 2020. Wonder if thats just a short VN or a fan disc.

     

  6. Yeah seems so, their next release is going to be Senren Banka, whether thats because of contractual issues or something else is not known

     

    Anyway, not too long of a wait, Yuzusoft Moeges are always interesting so here's hoping no more delays (and this is nothing compared to sekai project's "delays" lol)

    That was the intention.  Additionally, the entire time I've been reading, I've had two consistent opinions on the characters.

    1. Rika is the best heroine.

    2. The supporting cast is a stronger set of characters than the main cast.

    Having now almost finished Rika's route, I've come to the conclusion that these two opinions are not unrelated. >.>

    Highly debatable, Rika was a good side-heroine and her route was awesome, spirte thankfully did not skimp out and focus exclusively on the main two but in the end, it never did poke at main story and Masaya's past was largely ignored even though she knew about his FC days. 

     

    Also Misaki's route kinda blows it out of the water imo :sacchan:

  8. Basically says its delayed till December and subsequently effects all other releases, wonder if that means Making Lovers is delayed because thats 80% done

    curiously nothing was said about Hello,Lady which was supposed to be their next release and looks like the TL/Edit for that is almost done (90% TL/80% Edit)  

     

    Making Lovers as mentioned before is much further along than Senren being at 86% TL, 71% Edit

    So I finished the common route last night.  I'm not quite sure how there's an all ages version of this novel, you'd have to largely rewrite the common route to prevent Rika from getting screwed (out of her screen time).

    Unless its by MoeNovel isnt all ages just removal of the H-Scenes and any nude scenes? 

    Don't remember if Rika was completely nude there but magical sunlight was probably used 

  10. When Aokana physical was being funded or even when a release date was announced I wasnt really that excited about it, not sure why but maybe I thought the FC stuff would just be stupid (and maybe the anime played a part in it). Was far more excited about the following release Hello Lady as it was from the creators of Comyu.

    Man I was wrong, this was a solid 9/10 read. Buying this was the best decision I've made, its been a long time since I've binged a VN all weekend long plus the public holiday even:sacchan:. I'd give that score for the common route+Misaki's route alone but they went even further by putting in effort in the 'side' routes Rika and Mashiro as well. Asuka's one wasnt half-bad as well, even though I dont really like her personality too much it was a fun read. 

    spirte's art is fantastic, Koichoco's one was already pretty good and unique and this improved on it even further. The music and sound effects during the FC parts went a long way into making me enjoy those parts. I hardly skipped a line (and in Misaki's case even read her h-scenes lel) which means the writing was top-notch.

    I get that sprite probably put too much time into developing this leading to losses and their eventual 'downfall' but atleast they were able to produce such a masterpiece.

     

    It was so good I probably wouldnt mind re-reading it once the "perfect" patch comes out but I do hope they make it easy to get to the 'new' content. Misaki def needed a bit more SoL stuff as I've mentioned previous

     

    Also, lastly thanks Nekonyan for actually localizing this. I thought this would never get picked up after all the google drive fiasco from years ago :makina:. I hope they pick up ImaImo as well, thats the only one left from sprite that needs a translation (and maybe localize Koichoco too ;D)

    Probably she still is,

    because Masaya kind of recovers more "completely", or thoroughly, in her route, and also because of their past promise. And Saki gets happier conclusion in Asuka's route as well - she gets a friend, while after match with Misaki, she still remains alone (because Misaki is afraid of her), and even comments on it.

    but Misaki's route also makes a very good conclusion to the Masaya's story, and I'd consider her to be "alternate true heroine" ;) 

    I think Saki could be difficult to do, since she doesn't have enough exposition in common route, but I'd love Satouin's route as well.

    Eh, maybe I'll change my mind once I get to it but cant deny Misaki did 'save' Masaya at the end there like he asked her to

    which is fitting as she was one of the factors that did make him quit (not her fault tho)

     

    Cant really say i'm too interested with Saki's conclusion since she's kinda bland and her second (Irina i think) is annoying with her taunts. 

    Wish we saw Shindou VS Misaki again after she improved though! 

     

  12. While Rika's route was really good, Mashiro's route was a bit boring and Asuka's seem ok so far (havent finished it), Misaki's route is leaps and bounds better than anyone else's. Just the dynamic she has with Masaya, the jokes they make, the way they train

     

    even the way they met in the past, I honestly thought that 'boy' would be some random character or someone related to Asuka

    Loved her development in FC as well as she went from completely giving up to being a top contender. Just a bit sad they skipped out a bit on the SoL stuff like maybe it took Masaya a bit longer to convince her to come back or meeting her grandma or maybe someone from the club finding them out on a date during the summer period.

     

    atleast we got to see Mashiro's reaction at the end i guess? but it was tame

    Also this time we know who's the mysterious masked person that sprite always likes to put in their titles, spoilers for that

     

    Man didnt expect them to expand on Minamo as much as they did, felt bad for her when she started crying after she lost, wish we got a full scene of one of her matches with Masaya.  She even confessed her feelings about Masaya to Misaki which was unexpected, she was definately gonna have a route in Zwei, wasnt she? 

    :wafuu:

    Its also good to see side characters like Shirase and Shion get so much exposure, makes the world filled alive and not just constrained between the MC and his heroines

    I can see why this VN won awards in 2014, i know sprite says its not profitable but thats hard to beleive when they barely release anything, like doing 1 title every 2 years is not even close to enough. There was probably some internal issues that we'll never know about. Maybe one day we'll get something extra for Aokana :amane:

    Wonder what extra scenes Misaki gets in the PS4 stuff though, probably a date? Hope they release that soon and hope its something we can easily access 

    To end my post, are we sure Asuka is the 'true' heroine? :makina: Glad they didnt skimp out on Misaki's route because of that, it was like Shinonome's one in Koichoco to be honest but probably even better

    I'm having trouble deciding if I should put off reading Misaki's route until the Perfect Edition patch is released. I would be fine with reading the route as it is now if I know that I can reach the new content from the main menu or if it's automatically tagged as unread so I can skip to it, but I haven't been able to find any information about that so I'm not sure what to do.
    I've reached out to NekoNyan for confirmation but have yet to receive an answer.

    Read it asap :P

    She's been kinda annoying for most of the VN so far, honestly. :P
    It's probably mostly due to the fact that I generally have a hard time liking people who just do whatever they feel like at any given moment, never truly committing to anything.

    I find Asuka's endless optimism a bit more annoying and Mashiro doesnt really interest me so just went for her route first lol

     

    Also I like the dynamic Misaki has with Masaya more than the other girls but who knows maybe I'll change my mind after doing Asuka's route as well
