Many titles, but only two actual candidates   1. Devil Girl デビルガール [240509] moesoft I met a insane student president on the very first day I come to a new school! The president, who made lots of school laws, is a leader of this school──Kyogoku Yurina. I thought she is a tyrant,

VN of the Month May 2023

Had serious doubts about including Vtuber games, but let's do it for volume. It's hard to call any visual novel a normal one this month.   1. Kyouhin-chan 狂信ちゃん [230508] Ultinet It is a multiple ending game depicting the offline meeting of a VTuber with a fan and the aftermath of the meeting.

VN of the Month May 2022 - AMBITIOUS MISSION

According to late tradition there is only one release to compete for the game of the month and that's AMBITIOUS MISSION    1. Category I ~Shisenjou no Survivor~ カテゴリーI ～死線上のサバイバー～ Vol.1 [220526] Animal Herb  Ten girls and boys died in explosion and regained consciousness in VR .

VN of the Month May 2021 - Madohi Shiroki no Kamikakushi

Madohi Shiroki no Kamikakushi is the only decent game I see in May.   1. Osananajimi no Iru Kurashi 幼馴染のいる暮らし [210430] Azarashi Soft In spring main character decides to confess to the childhood friend girl he likes. The feeling is mutual. Girl suggests to kiss and start dating right away like a real pair.  Vanilla nukige   2. Amairo Chocolata 2 あまいろショコラータ２ [210528] Cabbage Soft 1 Yunagicho, a town lined with Western-style homes.

VN of the Month May 2019 - Tamayura Mirai

Tamayura Mirai is the only suitable title for me, although Micchi has all the right to also appreciate D.C.4 ~Da Capo 4~ , Girls Book Maker and Renran Spirichu .   1. Aikano ~Yukizora no Triangle~  アイカノ ～雪空のトライアングル～ [190531] Prekano The former track and field club member Shun attended school with his childhood friend Shizuri and close friend Koharu.

VN of the Month 2018

VN of the Month May 2018 - Shunkyoku no Tyrhhia ~What a Beautiful Dawn~

Shunkyoku no Tyrhhia ~What a Beautiful Dawn~ is VN of the Month , also chosen by Clephas . The rest are either flawed or not memorable. Micchi is satisfied with Koisuru Kokoro to Mahou no Kotoba , Kimi to Hajimeru Dasanteki na Rabukome and some loli nukige.   1. Kimi to Hajimeru Dasanteki na Love Come  二人と始める打算的なラブコメ [180525] Campus 1 2 Kazuma has lived a tough life of poverty thanks to the debts accumulated by his carefree parents.

VN of the Month May 2017 - ChronoBox

Kinda forgot to post May. ChronoBox made the day for me with Ojou-sama no Hanbun wa Ren'ai de Dekiteimasu!  and Newton to Ringo no Ki as other masterpieces. Clephas had the second one in mind for the winner. Micchi adds such titles as Anata ni Koisuru Ren’ai Recette and Nekopara nukige   1. Amayui Castle Meister 天結いキャッスルマイスター [170526] Eushully 1  “Magesmiths” are wizards that specialize in labyrinth construction and restorat

VN of the Month May 2016 - Soshite Hatsukoi ga Imouto ni Naru

Sakura no Mori † Dreamers and Soshite Hatsukoi ga Imouto ni Naru are really the only notable titles this month. Clephas hesitated between the two and chose the latter, and I'll probably do the same just because of the genres involved. Micchi wanted to try Natsuiro Kokoro Log and two delayed titles.   1. -Chase- Mikaiketsu Jiken Sousaka ~Tooi Kioku~ -CHASE- 未解決事件捜査課 ～遠い記憶～ [160511] Arc System Works 1 2 3 4 5  "Is it really a case worth looking in

VN of the Month May 2015 - Ayakashi Contract

Ayakashi Contract is VN of the Month with Sumire being another masterpiece. Clephas came to this conclusion after exploring all the worthy candidates, and nothing else really strikes the eye. Micchi also feels for lighter titles like PURE×CONNECT and Chuunibyou na Kanojo no Love Equation   1. Hyakugojuunenme no Mahoutsukai 百五十年目の魔法使い [150502] Pink Chuchu 1  The 150 year old northern capital of Lilac City is home to over 1.9 million people.

VN of the Month May 2014 - Houkago no Futekikakusha

Houkago no Futekikakusha is VN of the Month with Sakigake ⇒ Generation! as another decent game. That's exactly how Clephas considered, and with so few releases in May there's little room for discovery. Micchi in addition to Clochette title has expectations for Majo Koi Nikki and Haruka Kanata.   1. Shizuku no Oto しずくのおと [140505] aiueo Kompany 1 2 3 Manten Aquarium---a secret place nestled in the city.  Mayumi Nak

VN of the Month May 2013 - Grisaia no Rakuen

With PSP titles there are over 20 normal releases in May. I doubt anything can overshadow finale of Grisaia no Rakuen . Jesus 13th -Ushinawareta Gakuen- , Reminiscence , Tsukiakari Lunch and ChuSinGura 46+1 make fantastic debuts. Clephas highlighted Reminiscence . Micchi adds Magical Charming and Yumekoi to the mix and Zen among others seems to follow Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica F .   1. Grisaia no Rakuen グリザイアの楽園 -LE EDEN DE LA GRISAIA- [130524] Frontwing 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

VN of the Month May 2012 - Kono Oozora ni, Tsubasa o Hirogete

There are no masterpieces this month. I feel deep aversion towards flight clubs, but if I was forced to choose among these variants, Kono Oozora ni, Tsubasa o Hirogete would still win by the sheer quality. It's also backed by Zen while Micchi prefers Supipara and Shiawase Kazoku-bu   1. Supipara すぴぱら [120518] minori 1 2 3 4 5 6  The protagonist, Sanada Yukinari, has returned to his hometown in Kanagawa Prefecture, Kamakura City, for the f

VN of the Month May 2011 - Vermilion -Bind of Blood-

Vermilion -Bind of Blood- does not have competitors in May, but Taiyou no Promia is also a well done game. In addition 'll name Koi de wa Naku - It's not Love, but so Where Near. a masterpiece, because it's an original concept providing food for thought. Can't nominate AXL game this time since I'm tired of  Hasegawa Ai writing when she does not come out of comfort zone presenting yet another different activity club story with too many heroines to make it special. Zen has similar favorites while

VN of the Month May 2010 - Evolimit

Evolimit is the only real masterpiece here. I'll review it eventually, but with Dailymotion limit of two hours per day it would take over a month of real time, so it's the only thing I review in 2010. Micchi falls for nekomimi You∞Gaku just because of cuteness.   1. Nadeshiko Ranbu 撫子乱舞 [100521] White Cyc Focuses on the Yamato Nadeshiko archetype – the ideal Japanese woman, Takahiro resides in Misaki-shi where there is a competition

VN of the Month May 2009 - Trample on "Schatten!!" ~Kagefumi no Uta~

Trample on "Schatten!!" ~Kagefumi no Uta~ is the only masterpiece this month. And I'll actually review its untranslated and uncensored version. Micchi mostly observes delayed and gameplay visual novels while being expectedly fascinated by Tenshin Ranman and Tayutama fandisc. 1. Boku no Oukoku ぼくの王国 [090501] Finish!

VN of the Month May 2008 - G-senjou no Maou

G-senjou no Maou is VN of the Month. Aoishiro , Chrono Belt ~Ayakashibito & Bullet Butlers Crossover Disc~ , Bifronte ~Kugaitou Kitan~ are also masterpieces. I'll review Chrono Belt and Bifronte ~Kugaitou Kitan~ 1. Aoishiro アオイシロ [080515] Success 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 The Seijou Girls’ Academy Kendo Club is traveling to Shoushinji for a Summer training camp.

VN of the Month May 2007 - Draculius

Draculius is VN of the Month. There are several other games with high scores, but I'm not ready to vouch for any of them. 1. Minami no Shima ni Furu Yuki 南の島に降る雪 [070511] M ni Aqua Endless blue sky and the shining sun.... There is a small southern island. Ryo and Kanae are childhood friends, who have grown up on the island. They are like brother and sister, but Ryo gradually starts to love Kanae.

VN of the Month May 2006 - Hidamari

May is a relatively quiet month with few titles. The VN of the month is Hidamari which I'm reviewing, but there are quite many masterpieces including KimiKiss , D.C. II ~Da Capo II~ , Kishin Hishou Demonbane and finally Scarlett . 1. Samurai 7 [060524] Design Factory Co., Ltd. Visual novel based on the Samurai 7 anime. As usual, cheap anime spin-off.

VN of the Month May 2003 - Ashita Deatta Shoujo

True Remembrance , Ashita Deatta Shoujo and Uchi no Imouto no Baai (Heart) can be called masterpieces. I'm inclined to name Ashita Deatta Shoujo the winner. My review of it follows next. 1. Konohana 3 ~Itsuwari no Kage no Mukou ni~ 此花3 ～偽りの影の向こうに～ [030501] Vridge Inc. 1 The story picks up lightly with Meguru and Miako bickering about.

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 May 2001 - Sapphism no Gensou

There aren't masterpieces this month, but I evaluate Sapphism no Gensou higher than any other game this month. Wanted to review it myself, but there are too many English reviews already from the yuri army. I'll be playing Femme Fatale since it's the prequel of Edelweiss that I have certain hopes about. 1. Sora no Fudousan 空の浮動産 [010504] Jitensha Sougyou Near future.
