VN of the Month October 1995 - Trouble Chaser Dai 4 Wa - Saishuukai

There aren't masterpieces this month, but among more traditional visual novels Trouble Chaser Dai 4 Wa - Saishuukai definitely stands out, it's also the most interesting episode in the series being the final one. 1. A Hard Day's Night 吉永サユリがやってくる ヤァ！ヤァ！ヤァ！ A Hard Day's Night [951006] Hard Teacher instructs the class that at summer vacation textbooks are prohibited and only erotic journals are ok to read. And then he visits students at v

VN of the Month November 2008 - Shikkoku no Sharnoth -What a Beautiful Tomorrow-

With gameplay pieces taken aside, there's nothing else to call a VN of the Month but Shikkoku no Sharnoth -What a Beautiful Tomorrow- . Still don't consider it a masterpiece, though. I'm taking Kokorono for review because... don't know why, really. At the very least it poses some mystery for me. Does not look like micchi had a favorite this month either. 1. Zero no Tsukaima -Maigo no Period to Ikusen no Symphony- ゼロの使い魔 迷子の終止符と幾千の交響曲 [081106] Marvelous Interactive Louise an

To Heart PSE [Leaf/Aquaplus]

Foreword: It took me a while to get interested in this grandfather of all modern charage and moege. It took even longer to finish all the routes. I doubt I will ever pick a moege for review, but I need to see fundamentals with my own eyes. There are quite many reviews found, but only one of them (7nightstranslations) actually was reviewing a finished game, but still it was too short and only touched a few heroines. I'll have a word about each heroine at least. Title: To Heart Developer

Phobos フォボス [Himeya Soft]

Foreword: Himeya Soft and C's Ware are basically the same people, so it would really be a shame to miss their first cyberpunk game, father of Xenon ~Mugen no Shitai~ and grandfather of luv wave. How deep is the story? How much torture does it imply on players? Does it already have mind-screw elements? I'll try to answer all those questions. Title: Phobos Developer: Himeya Soft Date: 1992-07-16 VNDB link:https://vndb.org/v9006 Length: 4 hours. Game ty

VN of the Month March 1997 - Ruriiro no Yuki

Ruriiro no Yuki is the only masterpiece of March 1997. 1. Kannou Kyoushuu 官能教習 [970307] Tetratech Grandfather summons main hero to announce that in order to get inheritance he has to teach several maidens various sex techniques during a month. But it's so easy to fall in love with one of them... H training SIM. But the art is gorgeous here so even some innocent minds were caught in the snare. The ending is quite surpr

VN of the Month September 2004 - Abandoner - The Severed Dreams

Abandoner - The Severed Dreams is the winner this month, but since it has a review I'm picking up more obscure Noel for review 1. Konohana 4 ~Yami wo Harau Inori~ 此花4 ～闇を祓う祈り～ [040909] Vridge Inc. 1 Meguru Momoi and Miako Tachibana are back in their fourth murder-mystery adventure, along with Shinobu Sakurada. As they were taking a shinkansen (a bullet train) on their way to an excursion trip to Kyoto, they heard a scream only to stumble upon a murder scene.

VN of the Month March 2007 - Shirogane no Soleil -Successor of Wyrd- <>

Shirogane no Soleil -Successor of Wyrd- <> is the only masterpiece of the month. 1. Keitai Shoujo ケータイ少女 [070302] Kogado Studio Chihiro is a second year high school student. He is a bit impatient since he's got no girlfriend even though he gets closer to Christmas. One day, while he is on the mobile phone internet, he finds an interesting web site and downloads it.

Lost Child [Tama-Soft]

Foreword: Game interested me mostly as supposed sequel of Abandoner. Synopsis: After disaster in 2024, seven years ago rain has never stopped in this city. As of recent, nightly serial killings have infused fear in human hearts. Injured by monster attack and dying, student Shouji meets girl Ai who binds a contact with him and gives him power to use mighty claw in battle.

VN of the Month November 2004 - Planetarian ~Chiisana Hoshi no Yume~

This month does not have masterpieces. I did not like the game and the anime, but there's nothing to choose from this month, so ok, Planetarian ~Chiisana Hoshi no Yume~ will pass for now. I will review the game with an interesting concept - Ano Sora no Mukougawa 1. Love Songs ♪ ADV: Futaba Riho 19-sai ~Fuyu~ LoveSongs♪アドベンチャー 双葉理保19歳〜冬〜 [041103] HuneX Riho graduates from high school and lives a life of a progressive girl paying enough attention both to love and work.

Demon City / デーモンシティ (Cocktail Soft)

Foreword: I've played it in on a whim. Looked into synopsis and just could not believe that Cocktail Soft would do a full-scale fantasy eroge with rapist hero as protagonist. Fortunately, my belief in this old company prevailed. Title: Demon City Original Title: デーモンシティ Developer: Cocktail Soft Release Date: 1993-12-21 Summary: Vagnard kingdom practices "True religion" to live without restricting own desires, so its capital got known as "Demon City".

Angel Halo エンジェル・ハイロウ [Active]

Foreword: Game has a very strong start and intriguing concept which made me play to the end. It differed from my initial expectations, but it's a very original and good-looking game, so I don't regret playing it.

VN of the Month October 2006 - Shuumatsu Shoujo Gensou Alicematic

Shuumatsu Shoujo Gensou Alicematic is the only masterpiece of the month. 1. Mahoutsukai no Mita Yume 魔法使いの見た夢 [061001] Project Lips 1 At a young age, Yuu Kisaragi received magical powers from a mysterious old man. He longed to use them to defeat evil, but in the end, he was never given the opportunity. Cut to the present.

Bounty Hunter Rudy バウンティはんたぁルディ [Scoop]

Foreword: Game's obscure, but it has one absolutely overwhelming Japanese review (giving 8/10 score btw) which claims that the game has references to dozens of media sources. I'm not good with media of 1996 year and earlier, but even I could discern 5 sources. Visual novel is easy to read and it's a great laugh at times while preserving a solid and intriguing plot with lovable characters, tonns of CG and almost full voicing. I say it's a neglected masterpiece. Title: Bounty Hunter Rudy

Updated

Finished updating old posts. Nothing really interesting is added, so added games comments are very scarce. Main changes are mostly about descriptions for games that did not have one, over 500 new descriptions. Some review/opening/image links changed. Finally, I can move on now. This is the early draft of changes, stopped updating it midway.  VN of the Month December 2005 - Aekanaru Sekai no Owari ni https://vndb.org/v22685 - Power Pro Kun Pocket 8 https://vndb.org/v23599 - The Nor

VN of the Month September 2007 - Tsurugi Otome Noah

Second month without masterpieces. I'll probably settle with Tsurugi Otome Noah as VN of the Month. Reviewing it, as well as 8665^2 Haruruko no Jijou . 1. Dear My Sun!! ~Musuko Ikusei Capriccio~ DEAR My SUN!!～ムスコ★育成★狂騒曲～ [070906] HuneX 1 You play as the mother of a pair of twins, whose father has left on an expedition to Egypt.

G-senjou no Maou is VN of the Month. Aoishiro , Chrono Belt ~Ayakashibito & Bullet Butlers Crossover Disc~ , Bifronte ~Kugaitou Kitan~ are also masterpieces.

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 February 1995 - Doki Doki Pretty League Dai 3 Wa - Minami no Umi no Kai no Maki

There aren't masterpieces this month, so it's high time to nominate the pretty league series episode Doki Doki Pretty League Dai 3 Wa - Minami no Umi no Kai no Maki as VN of February 1995. It's quite a simple and fun episode on top of that! 1. Themm - Harukanaru Meikyuu ゼム ～はるかなる迷宮～ [950204] Harvest 1 2 3 4 Long time ago, human beings believed in gods. But time has passed, and the humans stopped worshipping them. The gods got angry. The

VN of the Month October 2009 - Soukou Akki Muramasa

Soukou Akki Muramasa is VN of the month. Among other masterpieces is Steins;Gate and Coμ - Kuroi Ryuu to Yasashii Oukoku. Of course I'm playing the Nitroplus one. Micchi considers this month to be the best in the year for bringing such sugary titles as Mashiroiro Symphony and My Girlfriend is the President. 1. Sora o Tobu, 7tsu Me no Mahou. 空を飛ぶ、7つ目の魔法。 [091002] La'cryma Soramitsu's After Story.

VN of the Month August 1994 - Shinsetsu Ooedo Tantei Kamiya Ukyou

There aren't masterpieces this month, but I can't let an average bakage to be the winner, so I nominate Shinsetsu Ooedo Tantei Kamiya Ukyou as VN of August 1994. 1. Mujintou Monogatari 無人島物語 [940805] KSS Inc. 1 Mujintō Monogatari is a self-described "survival life simulation".

Be-Yond ~Kurodaishou ni Mirareteru~ / ビ・ ヨンド ～黒大将に見られてる～ [Silky's]

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
