Introduction
Welcome, fellow Fuwamembers, to the FuwaRecognition thread. Starting this March, we’ll be highlighting some of the best contributions made by our members each month. From snazzy blog articles to delicious forum threads, and perhaps even a few things more on the shitpost part of the spectrum, we'll keep an eye out for the cream of the crop. And then we'll gather them here. Just for you.
*holds up giant APPLAUSE sign*
A-hem, so this is the f
Welcome to this week VNTS Review. As for this week, well most of the updates are from fan translation and at the same time we have a more dire update in regard of Sol Press drop Mirai Radio. Other than that, no much to say except that it's pretty much an anemic one to say it lightly in that there's no new VNs announcements or releases. Anyway let's see what I can write for this week here.
While I did say that I hope Sol Press will work more on Mirai Radio at last VNTS, I didn't exactly mean
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.
While raising the twins the mother can seek help with their careers from other characters, and maybe even choose to partner up wi
This game, is to some extent, a redemption of my hopes for Ensemble. I say this from the beginning because I will inevitably be critical in a familiar way about some parts. However, this game was far closer to Ensemble at its best than we've seen in the last six years.
The story is set in an academic city in a school that has a weird setup where individuals who want to get involved with student government join the Knighthood, with Chevaliers and apprentices serving in roles from librarian
Foreword: What is Petit KeroQ? Why creating a new brand was needed for this game? Those are the questions I seek answers for.
Synopsis:
The time is twelve years ago.
A comet of unprecedented proportions appeared in our Solar System.
Its magnetic field was such that when the comet drew closer to Earth, it interrupted radio waves worldwide.
That time was nicknamed "The Day Television Disappeared".
The day the world lost its signal, our protago
Hello and welcome to the second part of my NaNoRenO 2020 coverage, where I’ll be going through the most noteworthy games submitted to the most recent edition of the biggest EVN game jam. While in the first part I focused on otome and other GxB romantic VNs, this time I’ll tackle the niche that, in my opinion, contained some of the best projects in the whole event – horror. Once more, I’ll be focusing on complete projects, rather than many demos and prototypes that get submitted to NaNoRenO – and
Don't think I can call any game a masterpiece this month. I'd choose Ninkyou Hana Otome as VN of the month. I'll review TV no Kieta Hi.
1. Seinarukana -The Spirit of Eternity Sword 2- 聖なるかな -The Spirit of Eternity Sword2- [070803] Xuse 1 2 3 4 5 6 A journey across infinite worlds.
The Time Tree. Countless branches extending through space, each a world of its own. In one such world, a boy holds within him the soul of an ancient god yearning to break free.
To be honest, I had great hopes for this game, based on the fact that Agobarrier wrote up the drafts for the story before his unfortunate passing. I thought I'd see the peculiar humor, the deredere-MAX heroines, and the wacky antics that I associated with the original game. I expected running jokes (frequently used as accents to various scenes), and I hoped that Navel would finally regain some of its original 'magic'.
Unfortunately, it seems that those hopes are a bit too high. Perhaps i
Foreword: There are so many superb English reviews (1 2 3 4 5 6) that it's already evident how great this game is. I'll only try to consider if flaws are big enough to prevent from playing.
Synopsis:
There are various races living together at Ocelot City. Land, who lives as a mystic one, is one of the most famous citizens there. Rick, the main character, is a butler, and works for Selma. Selma lost her ability to transform herself into a dragon after a certain accident, an
While the title is pretty fitting for Utawarerumono remake that was released back at May 26th, unfortunately it's not the case because the subtitle for the remake is 'Prelude to the Fallen' which to say was not idiosyncratic with the rest of the trilogy. Anyway welcome to this week VNTS Review and as for this week we have the highlight Utawarerumono remake release and more importantly Sol Press big decision in regard of their VN business, and along with that we also have Nekonyan and fan transla
Bullet Butlers is the only masterpiece this month. Oh, and I can't stand Little Busters!.
1. Landao Wuyu ~Shaonv de Yueding~ 蘭島物語～少女的約定～ [070706] Circle Entertainment There was a country called Lareland, which had been prospered for hundreds years. But their peaceful life suddenly ended when a group of invaders attacked them. Like this, the war between humans and a different creature broke out. Five months later, Hiro, a young soldier, finally killed the boss of the invader
The game has around 15 hentai scenes in total. The gallery cannot be viewed until the game is completed. Playing the game will not result in easy scenes either. The game takes 30 hours to complete and has 4 romantic routes, so finding all the scenes organically will take a lifetime. You’re likely to play over ten hours without any sexual events. Don’t play this game for the sex, play it for the plot.
When sex does occur, it drags on with tons of dialogue and internal monologues. The pacing
Foreword: Cotton Soft debut work Natsumegu did not snatch stars from the sky, but Reconquista seems to have a totally different, serious approach and thus arouses interest.
Synopsis:
There is a certain town on a reclaimed island. It was developed as an international residential area, but it's in ruins now. And there is a rumor that if you walk around there at night, a girl in school uniform will appear and cut off your head...

Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and as for this week let me blunt that this week is pretty much a dry one seeing that almost no companies have the updates (I know that we have Kimikoi Steam version and Utawarerumono remake release today, but I decided to talk about those two at next VNTS Review). That said we have Aksys give us the release date for their three console otome VNs, so at least there's something to look forward if you've been otome VN fan. Other than that, at least we have some fa
Foreword: It seems to be one of most popular games of AXL with multiple console releases and even almost full translation, such game just can't be missed.
Synopsis:

NaNoRenO, the Ren’Py visual novel jam, is for many years now the biggest community event for EVNs, always bringing dozens of upstart developers, amateurs and veterans of the visual novel scene to share their work, ranging from demos and prototypes to complete (and often substantial) games. Since I’ve started the blog I’m always looking forwards to the opportunity to go through the projects submitted to the jam and present to you my personal highlights – games that are worth checking out not only
Ogishima (Brandole) Jun
The son of Id Brandole and Yukari of the Ogishima family. He was raised as a human by his mother, who sealed his vampiric nature on a regular basis since early childhood. While he seems mild-mannered on the surface, he has an incredible capacity for rage and ruthlessness in defense of those he considers family. He is highly intelligent, even brilliant. At the beginning of the story, Belche arrives to inform him that, if she thinks he is fit to rule, he will take
Foreword: I'm not sure scenario author of Braban can provide a worthy chunige, but I'm ready to be surprised.
Synopsis:
There was a big fire at a hospital which inflicted serious damage. Touya's mother, Suzuno, fell victim to its flames. After ten years he still can't overcome his sadness. But he somehow enjoys his life with Makina, his younger sister, and Saya. One day he sees a girl who looks quite like Suzuno. He can't forget her, and goes after her. He finally talks to
Ou no Mimi ni wa Todokanai is one of my favorite games by AXL, which has consistently made high-quality games since the middle of the last decade. Ou no Mimi is based in a medieval fantasy village in a nation that is still recovering from a war that wasted most of an entire generation of young men's lives. The protagonist, Cactus (generally called Cas), lives his daily life as a self-proclaimed bodyguard for Baree Village while skipping out on working in the potato fields and taking long naps
Welcome to this week VNTS Review. As for this week title since we have Mangagamer announce Escalayer exact release date and we have a sudden BL nukige release, I just combined those two into 'Sayuka's Practice Diary' with Sayuka here is the main heroine of Escalayer (By the way I always thought that it was written as Sayaka) and the localized title for the BL nukige itself is 'Hiiragi's Practice Diary'. What I can comment about this week would be it's an average seeing that there's no major rele
I'll review Koisuru Otome to Shugo no Tate - The Code Name is "Shield 9" , Reconquista and ExE.
1. ExE [070601] Yuzusoft 1 2 3 4 There was a big fire at a hospital which inflicted serious damage. Touya's mother, Suzuno, fell victim to its flames. After ten years he still can't overcome his sadness. But he somehow enjoys his life with Makina, his younger sister, and Saya. One day he sees a girl who looks quite like Suzuno.

Foreword: Vampire stories fail to impress way too often. Tsukihime, Hellsing and Masquerade are the only positive examples I can remember. I would not mind trust reinstalled with some new title.
Synopsis:
Draculius begins when Ogishima Jun, the male protagonist, suddenly finds himself face to face with a childlike maid who introduces herself as Elshlant D. Annoyance. The encounter quickly brings two monumental facts to life: the first is unequivocal proof that vampires exi
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.

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. One day, he tells her that he loves her.

Foreword: Clock Up team Dyo creates pretty conventional SF games unlike its older brother, so Zwei Worter is a good time to get acquainted with it to get ready for Rune Lord.
Synopsis:
In 2005, a group of meteors deals a big blow to humanity. But thanks to advanced science and technology, mankind overcomes extinction by creating new intellectual living creatures called "Dissolve".
In 2007, incredibly powerful outer space creatures called Elcid launch their onslaug
