Introduction
Welcome, fellow Fuwamembers, to the FuwaRecognition thread. Starting this March, we’ll be highlighting some of the best contributions made by our members each month. From snazzy blog articles to delicious forum threads, and perhaps even a few things more on the shitpost part of the spectrum, we'll keep an eye out for the cream of the crop. And then we'll gather them here. Just for you.

A-hem, so this is the f
Kaeru nyo Panyon is the only masterpiece game of August 1997.
1. Bishoujo Hanafuda Kikou Michinoku Hitou Koimonogatari 美少女花札紀行 みちのく秘湯恋物語 [970807] FOG
A romance adventure game where you go around the sightseeing spots in the Tohoku region, make photos of heroines and play cards with them. All backgrounds are live-action capture with detailed commentary on various places added. This game is regarded as the origin of travelling games.
There are no masterpieces this month. Main candidates are Tokimeki Memorial Drama Series Vol. 1: Nijiiro no Seishun and Shinseiki Evangelion Koutetsu no Girlfriend, but the latter one has little in the story department, it's more of a bakage for fans, so my choice is Tokimeki Memorial Drama Series Vol. 1: Nijiiro no Seishun that was a very fresh game with those mini-games incorporated. It's only shortcoming is not sufficient length, but overall it's a very good quality product
We get only Zoku Hatsukoi Monogatari ~Shuugaku Ryokou~ as masterpiece in June.
1. Bunkasai 2 Ayanokouji no Gyakushuu 文化祭2 綾小路の逆襲 [970606] Ucom

Foreword: I've noted the series quite long ago, but only when approached 4th final work decided to play the prequel that's directly connected with 4th part. Review of Canaan is coming a bit later.

H training SIM. But the art is gorgeous here so even some innocent minds were caught in the snare. The ending is quite surpr
The only masterpiece game of February is Yatsu no Na wa Diamond
1. Let's! Pirates Trouble Vacances Let’s！パイレーツ とらぶる・ばかんす [970207] ZyX
Two female pirates earned lots of money and are came to a resort. They get interested in rumors of a mad scientist experimenting with monsters creation and look into the matter only to get caught themselves.
Les SM H bakage story. The interaction between the main heroines is pretty fun,
Izuna Zanshinken is a VN put out by Akatsuki Works Black back in 2011. It is a super-violent chuunige with a vigilante assassin called Musumi Kotarou at its center. The game is split into two main parts... the common route and the heroine routes, which are accessed at a click of the mouse (convenient). Save for the end of each heroine route, choices are mostly a matter of seeing different scenes or the same scenes from another perspective. Each route is split into chapters, each with a defin
Welcome to this week VNTS Review even though the VNTS itself was missing, and if you recognize the title for this week it was indeed looks like a mess from the first glance. Although the meaning here was actually very simple though, because it's just a title from this week big release which all of us should know. The release was Subahibi for the answer, although for the title here I decided to use four language for each part of the title. For 'everyday' and 'furenzoku' (Mean 'discontinuous') it
This game is a crossover FD for Anekouji Naoko to Gin'iro no Shinigami and Tsujidou-san no Jun'ai Road. To be clear, the former game (Anekouji) was a kusoge... inasmuch as it is possible for a game made by Minato-soft to be a kusoge. In fact, its section in this VN is several degrees more interesting than the original, which is just pathetic, in retrospect...
However, this fandisc is actually quite a fun read... setting aside that the Tsujidou side of things is based on a shared ending wh
Ryouki no Ori Dai 2 Shou and Rookies are the masterpieces of January. But Rookies is a more traditional story-focused visual novel with charming characters and lots of kind humor. Rookies is VN of January 1997.
1. Watashi 私 ～わたし～ [970110] Pearl Soft
Shizu is a shy high school student girl who wishes to change herself. One day day she gathers her will and starts acting. What she's gonna do?
Well, there are lots of bran
The best year so far, actually. I really hope that I'll be able to say the same about every forthcoming year. 84 works during the year amounts for an average of 7 works each month - a very saturated year.
Let's prolong the chart.

Kichikuou Rance and Kono Yo no Hate de Koi o Utau Shoujo YU-NO are masterpieces of the month, but even Rance can't compete with YU-NO this month.
1. Kousoku Inran Jugyou Tokareta Ribbon 拘束 淫爛授業 解かれたリボン [961205] Persian Soft
Mayu is a female student who is in secret relationship with another girl Minako. One day Mayu opens her bento and finds there a photo of her tied up with a rope. It also has a note requesting to come to clerk room at
I'm going to be blunt... this is yet another SofthouseChara game where the entire point of the game lies in the gameplay, which is just complex enough to be annoying. The heroines and the protagonist are non-people, and the actual endings are boring.
Basically, you are a new noble given a completely random amount of time to build up your lands before the King dies, which takes you to the ending. The game system is split into building, hiring individuals of talent, fighting off threats, d
Programming would be much more convenient if I could get a linux distribution to work. Unfortunately, what I managed to do instead was render my system unbootable, possibly even without it being my fault. This is my story.
Once upon a time, a young Zaka installed Ubuntu on his old laptop using wubi, an installer that actually runs under Windows! It worked without any major hitches and the Zaka was pleased.
Fast forward six or so years to the ugly future that is 2017, and things were very diffe
After starry October nothing really shines this month. If we narrow down the candidates I'd have to choose from Mashou no Kao, High School Days, Sotsugyou Shashin 2 ~Raspberry Dream~, Tsuiokuand Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo: Hihoushima Arata Naru Sangeki. Last one is out as PS1 exclusive (win version nowhere to be found). Sotsugyou Shashin 2 is out as a difficult type of game for modern players. Tsuioku is way too obscure. High School Days is a really nice game, but even warm vanilla school game
Star Platinum, Angel Halo, Stone Walkers and Bounty Hunter Rudy are masterpieces of the month. That's a difficult choice! I believe that Bounty Hunter Rudy is the worthiest for being VN of October 1996
1. Girl 2 ガール２ [961001] Juice
Reiko is a female tutor of three young girls. Here are three stories of what happened at the lessons.
Game is focused on H events and the feature of the series is small windows that show on
Ma Doll and Sakura Taisen are the masterpieces of the month, but I prefer Sakura Taisen as VN of the Month
1. Heartbeat Scramble ハートビートスクランブル [960906] Imagineer Co., Ltd.
Game reproduces events of graduating school year, such as attending part-time job, participating in clubs and school festivals as well as getting along with the girls and inviting them on a date and maybe even spending vacations together with one of them.
Yes, despite myself, I played this. Renai Kyoushitsu is the first VN from an entirely new company (the writer and artist are both new to VNs as well), and it seems to be, in concept, a simple charage of the type where a male protagonist goes to a newly-coed former girls' school and finds himself the only guy (a fairly normal situation in VNs, though less so in the last few years). The VN has a really weird atmosphere (not psycho-weird, but rather just plain weird) at first, primarily because t
Foreword: I hate bakage. And yet I'm reviewing yet another bakage. Why? Mostly because together with YU-NO, these are the last two works of the Great Elf/Silky's team, after that Elf is going to loose too many staff members and is going to rerelease old works for Windows, stamp eroge works alongside with slice of life works. No more crazy adventure spirit afterwards. It's a historical moment to visual novels industry. Oh and I liked the two hentai OVAs of it immensely back then. I'll assume ever
Be-Yond ~Kurodaishou ni Mirareteru~ is the only masterpiece of the month.
1. Eden no Kaori エデンの香り [960801] JAST

Visual Novel Translation Status (08/27/2017)
Edit - I knew that VNTS Image Header was from Dangan Ronpa Killing Harmony, but I think I would still using Sakura Cupid as my title here because it was more fitting to reflect Saku Saku early release plan which as of the VNTS publish time was two days ago (At 25th).
The title in this week was once again had Sakura title, and this time it's Sakura Cupid. As for the reason, it was because in the upcoming Saku Saku release (At 31st) we would h
