    Freestyle80 reacted to Clephas in Hapymaher Discussion Thread (Mangagamer Licensed)   
    Being one of the voices that pushes this VN the most loudly as Purple Soft's single best work (by several degrees), I was immensely glad to see that this was getting a localization from Mangagamer.  This was my VN of the Year for 2013 and it has by far the best soundtrack I've ever seen in a VN, period.  Not only that, but I've never come across a VN that utilized its soundtrack so effectively to stimulate emotion in-sync with the story before, so it was in some ways my awakening to the fact that there were still music directors who could 'do the work' around outside of the makers of the Drakengard and Nier jrpg series. 
    This VN focuses on the reality-blurring experiences of Tohru, a young man who sees nothing but lucid dreams (dreams where you are aware that you are in a dream) and suffers from physical and mental health issues as a result, and his group of female friends/acquaintances.  The VN itself is something of a mindfuck experience, mostly because the line between dreams and reality is so vague to the protagonist himself. 
    If you want my translation of the first scene, go here (the narrated videos are dead, but meh):

     
    I also did introductions for the protagonist and Maia, two of the major characters.

    To explain exactly what makes totono special would be a huge spoiler. Which means it's the type of school life VN where major spoilers are possible. There's a lot more to it than it first seems. I wouldn't say it's much like Subahibi. If you want to compare it to another VN, I'd say Doki Doki Literature Club is a poor man's version of totono.

    JAST announcements:
    Flowers Summer and Trample on Schatten BOTH releasing on July 16th, with early copies available at AX. Togainu no Chi, Lamento, and Dramatical Murder announced for JAST Blue, their BL brand.  Kimi to Kanojo to Kanojo no Koi. announced. This game is really popular. Sweet Pool is coming soon, and not just "jast time soon." Work on Flowers Autumn has started (though JAST already announced their intent to translate the entire series a few years ago)

    Also Virgin route itself is like 20 hours, which is huge for a fandisk
    The routes arent anything worth mentioning either tbh, This VN shines with Tsujidou only afterall
     
    Also the translators apparently didnt like either of the VNs they translated lol and they did it because HoshiOri was way too big for a first project if i remember right, they are doing Hatsukoi's append disks now, idk if i ever wanna read anything related to Hatsukoi ever again though, god that was an infuriating VN

    Fureraba ~Friend to Lover~
    Summary
    Springtime.
    The season of the cherry blossoms, and a time of new beginnings, new encounters, and new people.
    For Aoba Kyousuke, this new season marks the start of his second year in high school, and after taking a moment to reflect, and looking at the friends around him...
    All he can find is a dumbass too horny for his own good, and a weirdo who can't get over his strange fetish for lizard-humanoid creatures.
    Sure enough he enjoys hanging out with them, and he wouldn't ever think of giving it up,
    but something feels missing. A precious, valuable part of everyone's adolescence, and something he might just miss out on at this rate...
    What is that something? Why, love. So upon realizing this, he shouts out to the world--
    "I WANT A GIRLFRIEND!"
    He'll need to give it his all, of course, because he knows that love does not come to those who just wait.
     
    Ending Guideline / Suggested Route Order
    There are four heroines. In order to get into the routes proper, you must select the heroine in the choice screen (when available) and then select to talk about topics that interest her.
    This walkthrough will, among other things, clarify which topics interest a heroine. By selecting the topics within the walkthrough you will always receive a decent amount of affection and you may choose any combination of topics that interests you.
     
    Walkthrough
    Talk topics will be in brackets [] with the relevant questions for any heroine underneath between quotes "". Sometimes these questions will lead to further questions, which will be indicated by -->.
    Some questions seem to provide more affection, so I'll mark those with (EXTRA). (Will be removed in the final version of the guide)
    Not all possible questions will be presented, but there are enough that you will be able to move to the next stage.
    NOTE: For some of the girls, when you have one at stage 4 and another at stage 3 a jealousy short scene will display.

    I just finished Misaki's route and entered Himari's route
     
    Well the translation quality is pretty good, atleast i never had any trouble in understanding anything and they did not westernize it too much like Chorno Clock did.
    Misaki's route was also pretty fun, her route broke some usual cliches which was nice to see
    It was fun to see how she gradually grew closer and closer to the MC, there was no stupid drama in the route either which was nice for a change, I realy hate forced drama esp break-up drama, it ruins the mood (Looking at you Hatsukoi 1/1)
     
    I heard Rina's route is the best written so i've been saving her for last, she was a fun character in the common route

    ah, was thinking it would be easier to get that out of the way and go directly into other routes once i'm done with one. Thats good then since u get to pick when and who to confess to, thought it would be automatic 
    It took me 3 sequences to trigger Himari's home scene (which is weird btw, why didnt they add their reunion and cleared the misunderstanding between them in the prologue?), thank god u can quick jump back in this game lol, makes it easier to pick the right choice(though usually its obvious)

    Nothing much to discuss really, i did one route (two if u count Saeko) so far
    This is mainly a comedy VN, the romance is nice but its mostly the character interactions thats good, I like how Renna always gets annoyed with Hiroshi and how Hiroshi gets along with almost anyone
     
    you know for an MC that doesnt fight, Hiroshi is pretty likable, he is muuuuuch better than Hatsukoi's MC atleast and he doesnt have dumbass friends (well he does but they are unimportant, Van is cool) 
    Also, i dont like lolis but Hanako really is adorable ;d
