Well, the title says it all. Look like the release time for English patch is almost come, so I'll open the discussion here. Koichoco, one interesting galge. It was make to 12 episode anime back at 2012. The plot is goes like our MC was forced to student council election because the club that belong to our MC and his childhood friend was about to abolished by the one of student council president candidate. So, the club (Food club) was decided to fight against the president candidate. Oh, as usual for galge, of course our childhood friend and student council president candidate was girl of course (Is there anyone else thinking if the candidate and MC's friend was male by the way XDD?). For the review comparison, I think you could read some of them if you didn't mind spoiler. Only 2 though. Here's the review 1. Warum - (WARNING: Contain mild spoiler) 2. Breadmasterlee - (WARNING: Unless you like HEAVY spoiler, don't open this site because this review contain very heavy spoiler) I think that's all the review I could find for the games. The rest of the usage of Google no Jutsu(lol) only resulted of anime review. But if you curious you may tried to watched the anime and comapre it with VN. For the heroine, we could date 5 girls here. For their bio and seiyuu, I'll list them below. 1. Aomi Isara She was poor girl in term of economy and on top of that she got bullied. Her voice according to VNDB was Anzu Mitsu, which her real name (Well usually Japanese eroge seiyuu like to use alias) was Kadowaki Mai. Her character was Kuki Monshiro in Majikoi S, Mare S. Ephemeral in Hoshimemo, and the most famous one was Illyasviel von Einzbern from Fate franchise. Speaking about Fate, my condolence for her fellow worker's death even if it's very late, Matsuki Miyu who was voiced Sapphire back in Fate Ilya. Speaking about Tsukihime remake, I think if Nasu want to add voice based on Melty Blood voice, good luck because Matsuki Miyu also voiced Hisui back in Melty Blood. Sorry for OOT. 2. Kiba Mifuyu Just thinking the same as Nagisa from Clannad (Sick and get hold back for one year), except without death, 2nd grade, and actually only club member instead of president. The voice for Mifuyu was Narusaka Arisu, which her real name was Kaori Mizuhashi. Her role was Matsushima Michiru in Grisaia trilogy, Kurokawa Kirara in Yumina the Ethereal, Eiferia Prada in Madou Koukaku, and Clea in Duel Savior PS2 Version. If some of you here fan of Madoka, she was also voiced some certain girl who become very famous thanks to episode 3 of Madoka (You all know who I mean). 3. Morishita Michiru Your junior, and she was joining club just before the election begin. Her voice was Inohara Riko, and her real name was Asami Imai. Her role was Makise Kurisu in Steins Gate, Okitsu Ai in Yumina the Ethereal, Nafqa in Madou Kokaku, and Lee Jinchu in Majikoi S. She was also singing many song, one of them was Ever17 PSP OP. 4. Shinonome Satsuki Your rival in election and the candidate who cause our MC to join election because of her policy that she will disband Food Club if she won the election. Yes, you can romance your biggest rival here. Anyway, her seiyuu was Konatsu Sumire, and the real name was Asakawa Yuu. Her role was Rider from Fate Stay Night, Komachi Tsugumi from Ever17, Iizuka Kaoru from Ayakashibito, and from recently (7 months ago actually) fully translated Majikoi Kawakami Momoyo. 5. Sumiyoshi Chisato Your childhood friend and head of food club.Her voice was provided by Kakitsubata Kikyou, and her real name was Nakamura Eriko. Her role was Lavinia Asai in eden and Lune in Madou Kokaku. Oh one more thing about the seiyuu. Actually each route ending credit was different song, and according to VNDB, the singing was the seiyuu of the route. For example Chisato route ending will be sang by Nakamura Eriko. I think that's all from me. Use this thread as discussion if you will. Oh and let's see which girl was interest you the most.

When you are reading a VN, what is the most important element for you? Is it the story and how it unfolds or is it the characters and their development throughout it? Can you read a novel that has really good story but "bad" characters that you can't really connect to? For me it has to be characters. I do love a good story, but if I cant really feel anything towards the characters then the story doesn't really mean that much. Like, I just dont really care what happens to them. Also, putting a spin on it, I am more than capable of reading a somewhat boring and dull story if the characters are super interesting/funny/cool, what have you.

I've been really interested in a visual novel known as "Chuuning Lover" https://vndb.org/v10026 but with lack of knowledge of understanding Japanese, I've yet to see anything regarding an English translation through my search. I was curious to see if anyone knew or had planned on translating it, any information would be helpful.

Alright I started this thread becuase I got quite curious of which visual novels have the most amount of choices. I've seen list of the longest visual novels out there but never haven't seen any about choices which makes sense but my point is in your opinion which one has the most choices? I heard Clannad supposely has like 30 choices per route which a lot taking into account it has like 8-9 routes + After story.

UPDATE: SP will ask AKB2 about possibility of 4:3 support): http://steamcommunity.com/app/377670/discussions/0/490124466479176329/ ~~ I wanted to inform everyone that in order to achieve "HD widescreen assets" Sekai Project severely cropped all existing CGs in the laziest manner I've seen. Check this out: You can't even see his arm, the plate, a chunk of his head, the sake bottle and glass. The dead guy's arm which used to be in full view is now barely visible. When I posted these examples on steam they permanently banned me and claimed I was promoting piracy. My post was completely deleted without a trace. Not only that but someone else decided to take up the task to post a more neutral thread on steam and the thread was instantly locked. http://steamcommunity.com/app/377670/discussions/0/490124466477714445/ [Edit: as of this moment the thread that used to be locked is now also entirely deleted.] Deleting and locking anything that might criticize their shortcomings is rather petty even for Sekai Project. They're splitting releases into voiced and un-voiced versions now which is just ridiculous, what's next microtransactions? Split each route into paid dlc? They've made it clear that they treat adult content as if it were cancerous, yet they continue to pick up titles with +18 content. Personally speaking, I've been supporting visual novels for a long time now and I've bought just about every release because I used to believe in western localization and that things would improve if we showed our support. But things are just getting worse at this rate and that was more or less my wake up call to stop investing money in companies like Sekai Project. It's really tiring having to ask every time a title is announced "Will we even get the full +18 release?", "what's getting censored?", "How will it be handled?", "Do we have to buy the goddamn game twice if we also want it on steam?". Like you can't even be excited because there's so many questions left unanswered we can only expect the worst and they completely ignore us hoping we'll buy the steam version, and then announce the +18 at the last minute expecting us to double dip, rather than just offering steam keys like MangaGamer does. Not to mention they suck funds out of us through kickstarter for practically every release. They're just abusing it now, taking already translated games that fans did on their own free time, and charging us money for it while making us pay for the licensing fees. That's just fucked up. Welcome to the new EA games of Visual Novels everyone. [Edit: Looks like reddit caught wind and has been following the whole thing as well. Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. https://www.reddit.com/r/visualnovels/comments/3rds22/gsenjou_no_maou_steam_version_169_cgs_are_cropped/ ]

Is it possible that this could be fully translated? Like is there any way that it could?

First of all, am I breaking the rule for started unreleased translated VN here? If so I apologize, but you know, since here is more lively than VNDB, I figure it's better if I tried to start a VN discussion here. Anyway, the VN is SakuSaku, or if you prefer full name is Koi ga Saku Koro Sakura Doki. The premise is, may I said a word, is a little ridiculous, but we've never had bounty place on MC before, so guess it's a little interesting? From the visual aspect I must admit it was very refreshing and very good, so much that it earned many 10 on VNDB at the first time it was published there (Around 2014 when I tried to look at discussion section), although for now it's around 7.5 at VNDB and 71 at EGS (or according to VNDB is 7.1). From the opening, the song is very light and typical moege, so maybe the soundtrack will be typical moege as well. The interesting thing is that the seiyuu for each heroine will singing credit theme, according to VNDB. According to VNDB, here we had 5 routes. For heroines, MC could date his little sister, childhood friend, student council president, head of discipline committee, and love fairy. Yes, I didn't drunk when I'm writing love fairy. Believe me. For the seiyuu (Since I'd like to talk about seiyuu who voiced VN or anime character just in case someone want to ask why talk about seiyuu) we have Nakamura Yuuichi, Ai Shimizu, Kiritani Hana, and Satou Rina voicing side character. As for the heroine, the fairy love (Tina) seiyuu is very new in seiyuu world and childhood friend (Mio) and discipline committee (Yuri) seiyuu had quite nice experience in seiyuu (But the VN that had the caracter they voiced is still not translated yet). For student council (Ann), the voice is infamous headmistress aka Kitamikado Misako from Evangile, so infamous that someone here make a pointless thread of how headmistress is very evil and one of VNDB member going SJW mode and plead to us very obvious reaction for normal people that we should not judge Christian is evil because of headmistress. Sorry, still bitter about that, but please this is not place to discuss headmistress from Evangile. From 5 heroines, only little sister (Konami) seiyuu is the one with the most experience and she was voiced Asa back in Konosora and Koharu in Imouto Paradise. I think all of you better look at character section at VNDB here. Last section is for reviews. There were 2 reviews for this game. I think I would like to give some summary from the review, but if you didn't hate spoiler, go ahead and visit each review. Aedes - I think the conclusion would be that he hate love fairy very much (Looks like the love fairy in question was has some pet peeve trope for him) and he write down many spoiler. Joyjason - The conclusion is that the VN is quite mediocre, but could almost reached good eroge. Once again if you didn't hate spoiler or trying to find out what kind of VN is this before playing, go ahead. My opinion is that you better play for yourself, and if you want to enjoy it, just try to suspend your disbelief for Deus, plot, and character. And before I end this post, thanks to akerou for translating this VN, even though some people may find it unenjoyable and sorry for my bad English. Use this thread in future as Saku Saku thread. Oh and I'll not interfere to all member in regard of best girl in Saku Saku, although I think for now Konami's hat is nice.

What is the best method and place to acquire VNs ?
