VN of the Month August 2004 - Sorauta

Sorauta is the only masterpiece of this Comiket month. Whenever I've no strong preference, I just choose something looking fine and without a review. This month I'm going to review Koijibashi . 1. Hayarigami: Keishichou Kaii Jiken File 流行り神 警視庁怪異事件ファイル [040805] Nippon Ichi 1 2 From chain mails that leads to murder, mysterious suicides and missing children, you, as a police officer have to put all your brain cells to work, connect the events together to discover the truth.

Cross†Channel is VN of the Month. Tenshi no Inai 12-gatsu is among masterpieces as well.

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.

Gin no Hebi Kuro no Tsuki 銀の蛇 黒の月 [Project-μ]

MERI+DIA ～マリアディアナ～ ~Maria Diana~ [Palette]

Foreword: I liked character designs and wide use of weapons first of all. The story looked promising. Palette is also a notable player on the visual novel scene. I ignored its first clumsy works, but it's high time for it to make a stand.

Abandoner - The Severed Dreams [Unknown]

Foreword: Abandoner is the second winner of poll for the extra review in 2004. There are actually two reviews already (1 2), but it does not hurt to give it a fresh look. Clephas recommends not to read this visual novel unless we are really hard masochists, but every visual novel reader is at least a bit of masochist for reading such long stories while normal people can't endure even director's cut movie versions. As for me, such question does not even stand - it's enough to look at the number o
