VN of the Month December 2004 - To Heart 2

I believe it's the first time when the number of games in one month exceeds a hundred - 108, to be more precise! And this month can boast of multiple masterpieces - Eigou Kaiki , Sorairo no Shizuku , Peace@Pieces and To Heart 2 . Can't say I'm excited about plotge of the month, so I'm giving the first prize to To Heart 2. 1. D -> A: White [041202] Tonkin House 1 Taking place two months after the events of D→A:BLACK, the player once again takes control of Tōya Shinjō, a "

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 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 December 2001 - Izumo

Izumo is the only masterpiece of the month. I'll be reviewing both Virus and Faust this month. 1. Kakuriyo 幽冥－カクリヨ－ [011207] Cage Main character receives a request as a member of mystery club to investigate change in the behavior of classmate's older brother. At the same time beauty transfer student comes to the class, and a series of bizarre incidents starts to happen.

VN of the Month December 2000 - Never7 -The End of Infinity-

December 2000 is a total ripoff. I have zero interest in almost all its games except for Never7 -The End of Infinity- which ends up to be the VN of the Month. But for review I'd rather choose some nukige over Never7, and that game for review is Dorei Ichiba. 1. Effect ~Akuma no Ko~ effect～悪魔の仔～ [001201] Hadashi Shoujo Nagi Izumi has a normal life... except for a couple of things. Sei, a bullied girl in his class, has telekinesis. And his girlfriend, Mayumi, has the power to

VN of the Month December 1999 - Elemental Arts

There are surprisingly many masterpieces this month. There are three: Elemental Arts, Green and SPARK! My personal favourtite would of course be Vist, but even I understand that it lacks the masterpiece level. The game of the Month December 1999 is Elemental Arts since I would not like to compliment eroge'ish Green and bakage'ish SPARK! 1. Vist [991202] C's Ware 1 In a rainy night, the cops are investigating a bizarre murder scene.

One day a transfer student comes to his school, and tells him she’ll kill him. At the same time, he starts seeing weird dreams and people mysteriously gets killed in his city.

VN of the Month December 1996 - Kono Yo no Hate de Koi o Utau Shoujo YU-NO

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.

VN of the Month December 1995 - Lilith

Surprisingly poor for masterpieces December, so my grey horse Lilith is the winner this time. 1. Houkago wa Betsu no Kao 放課後は別の顔 [951201] Ucom A collection of four short stories featuring sexual experiences of school girls: 1. 「通学電車」 2. 「先輩・・・・・・」 3. 「進路指導」 4. 「非行少女」 A distinguishing feature of the work is the presence of narrator girl who also appears in

VN of the Month December 1994 - Xenon ~Mugen no Shitai~.

December is rich for masterpieces: Wedding Errantry -Gyakutama Ou-, Xenon ~Mugen no Shitai~, Toushin Toshi II, Nooch 3 Saigo no Seisen, Zatsuon Ryouiki and Team Innocent: The Point of No Return. My personal favorite is Xenon ~Mugen no Shitai~. 1. Kagayake!

VN of the Month December 1993 - Demon City

As usual, December stacks the most masterpieces. HHG Heart Heat Girls , Rance IV - Kyoudan no Isan - , Demon City , Kawarazaki-ke no Ichizoku , Zoku Youjuu Senki -Suna no Mokushiroku-. I found Demon City the most enjoyable and thus it's VN of December 1993. 1. Injuu Genmu 淫獣幻夢 [931201] Ringerbell 1 The plot of Injū Genmu is rather simple: the King of Beasts commands you, a lowly minion, to venture into the world of humans and bring him

VN of the Month December 1992 - Koroshi no Dress 3

Doukyuusei and Koroshi no Dress 3 are the masterpieces of December 1992, but I just can't rate a good story game lower than a very good, but still nanpa game. Koroshi no Dress 3 is the VN of December 1992. 1. Chikyuu Bouei Shoujo Iko-chan ~UFO Daisakusen~ 地球防衛少女イコちゃん ～ＵＦＯ大作戦～ [921204] Chime Defender of the Earth girl Iko-chan defends the planet against alien monsters.

VN of the Month August 2023

Big companies seldom release titles in August as there's big competition from Comiket, so let's try to overview some of the prominent doujin games.   1. Purukura Aruma プルクラアルマ [230811] Seiran Soft Theo has escaped to the human world from the war between the Land of Dreams and the Land of Illusions. While searching for a girl who can save the land of dreams

From two summer works that qualify for the race, my choice is Natsu no Owari   1. beat refle [220801] qureate 1 Atsushi Yubihara meets the talking cat Momiji while cleaning the massage parlor formerly run by his late grandfather.

New August, new portion of pain and shame. Princess x Princess wins by default as the only title that qualifies for competition.   1. Hajimete Tateta Ocha ga Coffee no Watashi wa, Hachamechana Otemae de Sadou Taikai Yuushou o Mezasu. はじめて点てたお茶がコーヒーの私は、破茶滅茶なお点前で茶道大会優勝を目指す。[210801] EXLIGHT 1 Amateurs who can't even make the difference between tea and coffee aim to win the tea ceremony tournament!

VN of the Month August 2020 - Seishun Fragile

Seishun Fragile still takes the upper hand, yet for me it's the month without masterpieces.   1. Ano Hi no Tabibito, Fureau Mirai あの日の旅人、ふれあう未来 [200828] Pulltop 1 Yuuri arrives at Chichijima island, looking for his former girlfriend Tamaki, seeking closure to their withered relationship.

VN of the Month August 2019 - Wakaba-iro no Quartet

You know August... my conspiracy theory is that Micchi stopped doing monthly overviews just to skip doing August 2020. Jokes aside, anything that is not a doujin or a straight up nukige is automatically the winner in August. And that anything is Wakaba-iro no Quartet . Micchi adds Wanko no Yomeiri and another straight up lolicon nukige.   1. NinNinDays [190808 ] iMel Inc. 1 Known only as "Ninja", these mysterious mercenaries have worked i
VN of the Month 2018

VN of the Month August 2018 - Mirai Radio to Jinkou-bato

Mirai Radio to Jinkou-bato is the winner by default. Micchi also likes one delayed title.   1. Saiaku Naru Saiyaku Ningen ni Sasagu  最悪なる災厄人間に捧ぐ [180823] Kemco Corporation 1 2 A story where you live life alongside an “invisible girl.” Kuro is an invisible girl, and Hyouma is a boy who can only see invisible people.

VN of the Month August 2017 - Blade x Bullet - Kinrin no Soleil

Another August capitulates before the doujins. Blade x Bullet - Kinrin no Soleil is the only normal game and winner by default. Did not find Clephas winner for August, but it's ether the same or fandisc or none. Micchi is more interested in Kotonoha Amrilato and fandisc.   1. Dai Gyakuten Saiban 2 -Naruhodou Ryuunosuke no Kakugo- 大逆転裁判2 -成歩堂龍ノ介の覺悟- [170803] Capcom 1 2 3 4 Two months after the events of the previous game, Susato Mikotoba l

VN of the Month August 2016 - Inochi no Spare

Inochi no Spare is VN of the Month although Clephas also bothered with Gin'iro, Haruka for some reason. Micchi in addition favored Triangle Love -Apricot Fizz and Hanahime＊Absolute!   1. Chuusotsu! 1st graduation ちゅーそつ! 1st graduation [160814] Studio Beast 1 2 3 4 5 Under the P3 law enacted under the Global People's Federation, citizens are ranked according to the Authorization Seals issued by the world government.

VN of the Month August 2015 - Fault Milestone 2 Jou (Side: Above)

In August with the industry slump there's zero attempt to compete with the doujins, sadly . So the choice is between four gameplay titles, one incomplete sequel and three simple romance games leaning towards moege. Like... seriously? With this kind of selection I'd go for incomplete Fault Milestone 2 Jou (Side: Above). Clephas chose gameplay hybrid Tou no Shita no Exercitus . Micchi goes for Tenkiame and Nekopara Vol.0 fandisc, obviously.   1. Fault Milestone 2 Jou (Side: Above

VN of the Month August 2014 - Satsukoi ~Yuukyuu Naru Koi no Uta~

It's August, so many doujins sneaked into my list surpassing 10 titles mark for a change. Yet again there is only just one masterpiece - Satsukoi ~Yuukyuu Naru Koi no Uta~ . There are couple others that are nice within their genres, but outside my favorite genres games need to be at least decent to attract my attention. Clephas had a clear image of the same favorite. Micchi brings along a lot of cuteness with Dekinai Watashi ga, Kurikaesu , Himawari!! -Anata Dake o Mitsumeteru- , Idol Mahou Shou
