VN of the Month March 2004 - Remember11 -The Age of Infinity-

Remember11 -The Age of Infinity- is VN of the Month. Symphonic Rain is an honorary masterpiece. I got tempted by Japanese reviews praising story of Sora-iro no Organ , so I took it for review. 1. Oshikake Princess おしかけプリンセス [040305] Giant Panda Warring states era.  Local daimyo Asakawa is killed in an enemy state assault. His real daughter manages to secretly escape with five vassals. But she fails to give birth to a boy, and hopes for house revival remai

VN of the Month February 2004 - Forest

Forest is the only masterpiece of the month. I'm choosing lesser known Schrei-Ten for review. 1. Colorful Heart ~12 ko no Kyururun♪~ カラフルハート ～12コのきゅるるん♪～ [040206] Giga Main character 's parents go overseas living him alone. With the help of the childhood friend he becomes accustomed to such life.

VN of the Month December 2003 - Saya no Uta

December equals flood of visual novels, and for once in a while of good quality. Saya no Uta is unrivaled VN of the month. Konata yori Kanata made makes for another masterpiece. I'm reviewing the mysterious Gin no Hebi Kuro no Tsuki 1. Colorful Box カラフルBOX [031205] Sound Tail A "comical story" set in a school. You play as main character Narumi Morizuki who's been selected to work on the school festival committee. The game takes place over a one month period and has you

VN of the Month November 2003 - Kurenai

Clover Heart's , Eien no Aselia -The Spirit of Eternity Sword- and Yukizakura can all be considered masterpieces from certain angles, but they can't beat a real violent story Kurenai 1. Haken Seifuku 派遣制服 [031107] BlueJelly Main character owns a bar. One day he receives a letter urging him to avenge his dead parents and defeat Kagura group that controls the underground business of the city. But he does not have to fight alone - bar is full of girls suffered from the Ka

VN of the Month October 2003 - Lovers ~Koi ni Ochitara...

Most of the candidates already got an English review, so I'm choosing the one with the most swordplay Ochiba no Mau Koro . I guess Lovers ~Koi ni Ochitara... is the only game worthy of masterpiece status this month. 1. Chocolate Days ちょこれ～とDays [031003] Xuse The protagonist is Mogami Takuya, your basic cliche average high school student, whose mother is passed away and father is away on business. There are five very cliche women in his life: an older friend from childhood w

VN of the Month - September 2003 - Cross†Channel

Cross†Channel is VN of the Month. Tenshi no Inai 12-gatsu is among masterpieces as well. I'm choosing Thanatos no Koi ~In Ane Otouto Soukan~ for review. 1. Sacred Plume セイクリッド・プルーム [030905] Teatime 1 2 Hero Kane returned to his hometown after a long two years of wandering. I met new friends and got into the maelstrom of events. The beginning was the meeting with Rita. Kidnapping women infected with the field near the capital.

VN of the Month August 2003 - Natsuyume Yawa

It's the month of summer Comiket, so let's try to make it through piles of Doujins together. I consider Natsuyume Yawa the masterpiece and winner by default. I'm reviewing Salem no Majo-tachi , but I've yet to develop my opinion on it.  1. Boku to Kanojo to Kokoro no Kakera 僕と彼女とココロの欠片 [030808] Milky Kiss Father gets an urgent work appointment leaving main character in charge of his imouto and niece. He has a lover, but something misses in his hea

VN of the Month July 2003 - Komorebi ni Yureru Tamashii no Koe

There aren't masterpieces this month. And I'm so desperate that I'm choosing lolige Komorebi ni Yureru Tamashii no Koe as VN of the Month.

VN of the Month June 2003 - Sayonara

Lolicon becomes the main trend of 2003, so there are less and less unblocked games. Sayonara is VN of the month, but whether it's a masterpiece or not will get clear from review. 1. Icon アイコン [030606] BellyBell The age of sword fights.  Two countries enjoy a brief moment of peace. Two swordsmen have appeared in the smallest country at such time. The turbulent times approach, so they need to protect their motherland and learn about the true nature of conflict...

VN of the Month March 2003 - Interlude

Interlude is the only masterpiece of the month. This month blocked novels surpassed normal ones over four times which is very scary considered that it's not a Comiket month. 1. Erinyes [030313] Pleiades Company There is an island country similar to Japan. Memory of the great war that happened 50 years ago starts to wear off. But people who got hurt can never forget. There is a den where such people are gathered - underground prison. Now the time for settlement has come. Wil

VN of the Month December 2002 - Popotan

There are no masterpieces this month. This is becoming a tradition! Guess Popotan can be called VN of the Month. I'm choosing Tamamayu ~Miserareta Mitsu no Ito~ for review. Girls with swords not as cool as with guns, but will do. 1. Tamamayu ~Miserareta Mitsu no Ito~ 玉繭 ～魅せられた蜜の糸～ [021206] Mireille Mysterious girl Shoko suddenly transfers to main character's school. One day she confesses to protagonist, but gets rejected. She says she has an ability to control the dark

VN of the Month November 2002 - Baldr Force

Blocked games surpass normal ones three times this month. Baldr Force is the only masterpiece of the month. I'm true to my fetish and thus reviewing Gunsister 1. Baldr Force [021101] Team Baldrhead 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 As a hacker of the renowned hacking group "Steppenwolf", Tooru Souma and his partners earn their living by hacking into servers and selling the information they steal.

VN of the Month October 2002 - Rocket no Natsu

Rocket no Natsu is the only masterpiece of the month. 1. Minami no Umi no Odyssey 南の海のオデッセイ [021003] Global A Main character is 6th grader in elementary school. He comes to Guam island with his twin brothers fleeing from the plague. The uninhabited island gets flooded with time, and there's no other option but to try to flee the island.

VN of the Month August 2002 - Ever17 -The Out of Infinity-

Ever17 -The Out of Infinity- is undoubtedly the game of the month. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni makes the second masterpiece. But the world does not need yet another review of either of it, so I'll review Bokura ga Koko ni Iru Fushigi. which I also consider a masterpiece. 1. Beast 21 ~Ryoujoku no Yakata~ BEAST21 ～凌辱の館～ [020802] Birdy Soft 10 years ago the hero suddenly became plagued by strange nightmares.  He remember something about a strange woman in an o

VN of the Month June 2002 - Kanade

There are no masterpieces this month AGAIN. I hate D.C. ~Da Capo~ series so much that I'd prefer literally any game over those. It's time to pay credits to Purple Software and nominate Kanade as game of the month. For some reason I picked Asa no Konai Yoru ni Dakarete -Eternal Night- for review. Why? Oh, Why? 1. PINK PANZER [020607] Liar-soft After decades of anarchy and dark times humanity regains its nation and civilization, but science, technology and cultural maturity r

VN of the Month May 2002 - Akane Maniax

There aren't masterpieces this month. I could not decide what to review myself. But in the end Akane Maniax has enough English reviews and Shitai o Arau is of quite familiar Silky's signature to me. I decided to play Fearless] . Akane Maniax is VN of the month even though I don't consider it a masterpiece either. 1. Akane Maniax ~Nagareboshi Densetsu Gouda~ アカネマニアックス～流れ星伝説剛田～ [020501] Age 1 2 3  Jouji Gouda is a new transfer student at Hakuryo High School.

VN of the Month January 2002 - Princess Knights

Princess Knights is the only masterpiece of the month.

The king tried to escape with his son, whereas the princess who was left behind was captured by the enemy. Alone, the general gave chase and managed to catch up to the king and the prince.
