Seems there's no all-ages release for it. At least its VNDB page doesn't show anything. How are you gonna survive an adult release of it? xD

Well, I think I'll manage somehow ;) 

Recently I finished PC version of Mashiro Iro Symphony, and I loved it - including most of the h-scenes :D  (I'll write more about it once I complete additional routes from the console version)

So yeah, there are games where I prefer all-ages version, and the ones, when adult version feels better. It depends on how the scenes are written, and how they fit into the story.

But I still cannot decide which version of DameKoi to get - adult one from MG, or all-ages portable one (it's hookable from the emulator).

I'm glad you're gonna give it a try :)

I'm jelly. Maybe I should read it too, although my JP skills are still shit. I was kinda holding back from it because I believe it's gonna get licensed. It's a title I see loc companies fighting to get licensed (even though sales-wise it'd probably fare as well as this masterpiece is doing at the moment).

That's fair. Sometimes H-scenes feel forced and make no sense to be in the places they are. But there are VNs where I can't forgive the lack of H-scenes, forced or not. As you said, it depends on the story, how it's written, etc. I think I only read one VN so far where I didn't feel bothered enough to grab the adult release... and that VN is Dies irae. For me, the all ages release of it was a masterpiece enough.

Well, for the all-ages portable one, you would have to read it in JP. But seeing how you managed to complete Mashiro Iro Symphony just fine, I know you wouldn't have any trouble completing DameKoi in JP too.

It would be nice, if MashiroIro indeed got licensed - it definitely deserves wider recognition in the west. However after reading it I feel like, even though it isn't too difficult to read, it would be a bitch to translate. (You know, the usual "fun" stuff - speech patterns, honorifics etc etc)

"Not having any trouble" would be big exaggeration ;) But yeah, I should manage somehow with it (although it would be quite slow). That's why I checked if it's hookable first, before even considering that version. Another ~advantage~ of PSP release is that with a bit of patience it is possible to score used physical one at about half price of translated PC version.

Yeah, I am aware of those problems. That's why I am hoping that if it indeed gets localized, then someone capable of delivering the prose would be working on it.

I wish you luck in any case :) No matter how slow, it's always more fun to read the work at hand in its original language.

At least it's good that Mangagamer took another way to announced their next releases (I look forward to Haretaka here), although I wonder though on how Mangagamer will announce their October release later. Granted we can treat Ciconia as October release, but still I prefer if Mangagamer can announce their next title after their redundant Sengoku release.
