Yes, finally a Muv-Luv game is going to have suits with nipples again. The original JP version had nipples in the suits of women, it was removed from the Steam release. Whatever you find stupid or not the fact these suits shows nipples in women I just want to restore the content as should be. 

Muv-Luv Unlimited TDA had a port to a new engine, and  thanks to that with the tool "Special K" I was able to extract and inject back the images/assets without touching the game's files directly, so I decided to personally add back the original sprites and CG from the JP version. 

Only TDA 00 and 01 was censored (sprites and a few CGs), while 02 and 03 didn't had censorship because the nipples were removed in JP launch (basically it can't be considered censorship, or maybe it's auto censorship but it's debatable). Considering that, I'm wondering if adding the sprites to 02 and 03 just for the sake of consistency; the problem is the new characters starting from 02, I haven't played enough so I can't tell.
If you're wondering about original trilogy and fandisk, sadly the tool crash with these games.

Can I edit the font?... Nope, the tool detect words as unique images, it doesn't detect any font.

The tool is known to be incompatible with some programs, but generally works without problem. BTW, at the end of the TDA 00 there's a sprite of certain character that I wasn't able to extract, for some reason the tool doesn't detect it, everything is fine, I guess. 

If you get an overlay/message when starting, it means that the patch is working. If you get a crash + followed by a Metal Gear Solid alert, it means there's a program incompatible with the tool that prevents the tool from booting, it can be Rivasturner or an overlay.

too much work.

You can try transcribing. Open the Steam version and write line by line in the script of the original release 😂

Just ignore those intellectuals

I can promise you this one is not going to take years
I'll post a full update on the current situation on Fuwanovel pretty soon; we're stronger than ever and things are looking up!

I bet there's a lot people interested in this game, we don't see often in English games like Manakashi, we have for now in English, Maggot Baits and Sadistic Blood, and sadly NikuNiku ENG TL, game from the same dev/writer/artist that Manakashi was dropped time ago  I come to here the forum monthly just to check if there's more updates, and I'm happy you're still alive. I don't mind wait years for this TL, I've waited years for the ENG TL of Maggot Baits. 

Hey all, thanks for the replies and encouragement!
I realize that if one only uses this forum as their information source, the progress on this will probably have seemed rather scarce
And I admit, I haven't updated the thread at all to create any additional hype or expectations, but that's kind of been on purpose - I'm the sort of the person to typically walk the walk before talking about it. That way I can't let anyone down, heh.
Actually nothing in particular prodded me to post this update either, and I don't have a grand announcement to make right now, I just thought I'd pop in to say hi while coming to the forum to answer a few PMs.
So, how's it going? Well I'm not dead and the project certainly isn't either, all in all it has chugged along very well. I've been pretty active on a few big VN Discords and received a ton of help from a ton of absolutely awesome people, but for the past month or two I've unfortunately been very tied up in some other responsibilities. Such is life! However, I'm trying my darndest to get back to the Manakashi project right about now, so don't worry. I will, also, actually create a new teaser video of some sort soon to show off the quality and progress we're working with, as well as how I solved certain technical challenges.
I don't like talking line counts - and actually I don't keep or know exact line counts, either - but while there's a whole ton still to translate, I can at least say that I am rather proud of the quality of what has been done so far.
So anyway, I guess all I wanna say to you lovely people is that if you want to see this project happen, please don't hesitate to keep letting me know Reply to this thread, talk to me on Discord (yumi#0163), PM me on Fuwanovel, whatever - It does help me gauge interest and thus my own time allocation to the project, and actually means more to me than I'd like to admit.
I might've started the project for entirely selfish reasons, but due to the sheer volume of material alone it's not going to end that way. So, in addition to the previous paragraph, I guess I'd like to put out a lazy call for reinforcements. Translation (and the editing that follows) is the job I'm most picky about, but if you happen to be a proficient translator/writer and would want to help with this project, don't hesitate to get in touch. I also periodically need a few trusted people to QA/test the project while it is in progress. If you'd like to do that and think you'd be good at it, feel free to DM me on Discord, preferably. Additionally we will need a real TLC down the line, but that's actually not very critical right now.
So yeah, alright, that's the Manakashi project right now! Talk to you again later
Maybe I should ask for a developer role on the forums to create one of those dev diaries...

Wow, I never thought anyone would translate this title due its content but I'm happy you're translating! I read it using machine translation, I'll gladly re-read the VN with your translation ❤

Hi everyone, I'm yumi from pantsudev and we're working on a translation of the 2019 adult visual novel
True Love's Lily Dyes Red
真愛の百合は赤く染まる
Manakashi no Yuri wa Akaku Somaru

Background
The work started sometime in the spring of 2020, mostly due to happenstance. I was bored and started hacking around this nifty new VN I'd found.
I developed my own tools and launcher/loader and started translating. Once it began to look somewhat promising,
I announced my lone work here so that others wouldn't accidentally end up duplicating my efforts.
Current State
Since the start of the project, I've been fortunate to meet some fantastic, nice and helpful friends who've certainly helped take the project to another level. Progress has been sometimes sporadic, sometimes steadfast, yet always inevitable. I'm a busy person, but never abandon my projects.
Last year (2021) was a bit quiet, but this year (2022) we've been happy to recruit THREE new awesome editors, and really picked up the pace again.
I created custom collaboration tools that allow the others to work on the project without my involvement at all, greatly improving efficiency.
A web-based translation editor allows everyone to translate, edit and comment on all the content in the game comfortably,
and a custom app allows everyone to synchronize the latest changes from the shared web editor directly into the game on their computer.
2023-02-15: Still alive
Still here, still going. You'd better believe it. Join our Discord. However:
It seems that we'll now be recruiting one (1) capable extra-/emergency translator!
We're no longer recruiting for new members. Thank you for your interest!
2022-05-25: Situation update!
We're no longer recruiting editors.
Thanks for your interest, and a warm welcome to nihilloligasan, girlrituals & Beau who recently joined the team!
As an interesting aside, with aho and BlackBane91 having retired from the project last year, we're now a team of 5 girls.
I swear it wasn't intentional. But slightly interesting, huh?
2022-05-25: Situation update!
The project is roughly 50% done now - and we've doubled the translated line count within the last 5 months alone!
The new TL & edit tools make for a much faster workflow, and all the programming and UI work is also pretty much done.
Therefore I feel confident in stating that we're now moving at a much faster pace than at any point before.
It's not going to take two more years.
What else? Well, our previous YouTube account got nuked; you can subscribe to the new one here.
Our Twitter account is @pantsu_dev should you care to follow. However, we are primarily active on Discord.
Alright, cool! Anything else?
Feel free to let us know what you think!
Join our Discord or reply to this thread, or PM me with any questions.
 
Thanks for reading!

Hey, what's up? Here's some updates for the project:
Patricia's second H-scene, and another script after it which was removed, are done. Total lines done: 1287 out of 8586. Rounded up, that's 15% done so far!
Editing is currently sitting at roughly 9%. Like Zeph said, much of our team was busy for the holidays, myself included, but we should be picking our pace soon.
Here's hope next update we can bring it to 30%.

lol I just read 3 hours and I went to sleep, after I wake up with the scenes on my mind, holy shit. It's I what expected, loved it. 

It's rarely for me to be hyped to read a VN. 

Holy shit MLA, you're goddamn right about shocking by playing blind. 

This my first time posting in this thread but I just want a place where comment my thoughts... Just finished Muv Luv; Extra wasn't that bored like I read before in some places, it was so entertaining, I enjoyed the comedy and the slice of life, I really liked the relationship between the MC and Sumika, Meiya has the stereotype of ojou-sama without common sense and somewhat disliked her for that but I started to get more respect for her after reading the routes of the other heroines. I finished all routes, all what I'll say that are bored lol I skipped some text just to finish it. About Unlimited, I was surprised to learn that Muv Luv is an... isekai? what? I never read the sinopsis, just all blind, I know that Muv Luv is about mechas and aliens, I assumed that something happen in Extra to derive a war against aliens but I never thought it was an isekai, was hard to swallowing that, I expected more than that, a little disappointed but I let it go and kept reading, until I liked Unlimited's story. I just finished Meiya's ending and Yuuko-sensei ending.  No motivation to finish other endings because people said it's all similar, I don't have motivation to spent more time on it and the H-scenes are meh.

My motivation to read Muv Luv was ML Alternative, I've read very positives commentaries, is in the top VNs on VNDB and everyone says it's one of the best visual novels, I read Muv Luv with that in mind, otherwise I could never have finished or spent much time to Muv Luv Extra, I don't spent so much time reading a VN, unless it's good.
 All right, then, Muv Luv Extra and Unlimited was just the tip of the iceberg, probably I'll spent more time reading Alternative because the beginning is very interesting, and the only spoilers I've read are that very horrible things happen, don't know details but I'll find it myself. 

Sorry for the long post and sorry for my English grammar. lol 

I recommend read Umineko first because it's finished, meanwhile Higurashi ch 7 isn't released yet (Mangagamer ver.) and ch 8 is in progress, maybe 2020? btw I'm talking about the 07th mod patch ^^ The translation itself is finished but for better experience read with the patches. Both series are very good in mystery and fantasy.

Yeah, definitely. I tried to rely of the text parser rather than on MTL, and the result I got was just barely understandable, and probably only because the original text was rather simple. And even text parsers made a lot of mistakes. Honestly, this method just isn't worth it in most cases.
Admittedly, the results MTL produced there were rather comedic at times.
 

Ugh, so many seiyuus that I couldn't remember now, but now I can say (from the list) my favorites one are Yukari Tamura, Saito Chiwa, Sawashiro Miyuki... I like Michiru's seiyuu from Grisaia, Beatrice from ReZero, Tsundere Queen, Rie Kugimiya I think... Oh, Horie Yui too! Uni's seiyuu from Neptunia, Araragi from Monogatari... 

I don't expect any update from SP c: Could be an update from some VNs like Rewrite lol (specially Rewrite+ that I'm waiting for) but that doesn't mean... nothing, the endless waiting. 

From Mangagamer I want other dark themed game of Clockup. C'mon MG, I want more games for degenerates like me! 

Added entry on VNDB. 

Oh, thanks for clarifying. Thanks for the hard work! 

You have to have the fakku edition and the restoration patch ( it uses the file patch.xp3 ). If you are using the steam version i am not sure if it is working because at the moment i dont own it and cant test it.... if you are missing the restoration patch, i mean the patch.xp3 then the demosaic patch2.xp3 cant load. Then you have to rename it to patch.xp3 to be able to load. But there is no purpose to use it without the restoration patch.....
As for the story. The patch itself doesnt add new scenes or changes the timeline for current scenes. It only removes mosaics for Hachiroku’s Route hscene 1 2 and 3. The other ones have still mosaics which i am working on. When Hachiroku’s Route is 100% complete ( with DLC in mind ), Hibiki will be next
If you are using garbro then you cant open the psb inside xp3. I am not sure why but before the patch i could open it... but the patch2.xp3 is working properly... for extracting iam using old version krkextract, the new versions are unstable. For editting psb i am using the freemote tools and the psb tools.
Thanks to heliosaurus. He gave me tips how to edit psb.... if someone wants help for editing the files you can send pm. 

Some are talking and some are working ;)... later today uploading hscene3!
PS:
Here is the third hscene without mosaics: https://ufile.io/m9vx4
