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
61DkvNbn3rL._AC_SL1024_.jpg
Yuuri arrives at Chichijima island, looking for his former girlfriend Tamaki, seeking closure to their withered relationship. After entering the high school Tamaki became an actress, and they slowly drifted apart, but never said proper farewell. Then suddenly she has retired, and apparently retreated to the "Sunset station" hotel on Chichijima.
On the way to the hotel, Yuuri meets Eri - a shy girl who dreams to be voice actress. In order to pursue that dream, she wants to try working at local radio.
Indeed - former "Sunset Station" hotel is now the home of the Bonin FM station. And it seems that station is on the verge of closing down. Tamaki is also there, but she's in pretty miserable state.
Yuuri needs a place to stay, Eri wants to be VA, and Tamaki needs a place where she can recover - so in order to keep the station alive, three young people start to live there together, and make their own radio show.Yuuri arrives at Chichijima island, looking for his former girlfriend Tamaki, seeking closure to their withered relationship.

2. Kakenuke★Seishun Sparking! かけぬけ★青春スパーキング！ [200828] Saga Planets 1
34.jpg
The protagonist, Toono Yuu, is a junior at Kazami Academy,
At the age of puberty and youth. But...
"Youth? What's that? You know I'm busy with my part-time job."
He's an extreme realist who devotes his youth to his part-time job.
He's does well with his schoolwork and spends all his free time earning money at his job every day.
His hobby is checking his bank balance.
His childhood friend Hibiki who couldn't overlook this and his classmate Riri who looks up to him decided to try to put him in a club and change his life.
Hibiki, a lively girl, recommended to him the Activity Club, commonly called the Act Club, whose slogan is "Let's have fun enjoying our youth in school!".
Riri, a serious girl, recommended to him the Volunteer Club, commonly called the Negative Club, whose slogan is "Let's spend our youth making the world a better place".
Each club persistently tries to recruit Yuu.
"I'm not interested in either club. In the first place, youth isn't necessary for me."
Disregarding what Yuu wants, the girls drag him around each day.
Why in the world did things turn out this way?
"That type of thing hasn't been decided yet has it?"
"Get ready! Soon you'll enjoy your youth!"
Just what type of youth is awaiting him!?

3. Seishun Fragile 青春フラジャイル [200828] Purple Software 1 2
67.jpg
Shiki Yuuto is normal student living with his imouto-like maid Toune in a big Europe residence built by his ancestors from long time ago. However, he hides a big secret from everyone. He is actually descendant of branch family from a lineage of high class wizards which moved to Japan hundred years ago. Despite being a shabby wizard, he used to help people with magic while chasing the "Bad Wizard" as duty given to head of clan, but now he is just lazy around and doesn't care much about magic anymore.
One day, while he is cleaning the old church behind his house, a mystery blonde wizard suddenly crashes into the church and is helped by his classmate Setsuna who "happens to be there by chance". The wizard introduces herself as Riz Mathers and claims to be his relative from the head family in British who comes to be his master. This fateful encounter between the three of them will unfold a bitter sweet story about their youth.

4. Houkago Cinderella 放課後シンデレラ [200828] Hooksoft 1
68.jpg
"After school, I think that girl might be waiting for me..."
"If she's able to, I want to be friends with her and go home together."
"I might be able to go home together with her after we have a chance meeting with each other."
A feeling of love awakens on the way back home from school.
In this work, you will enjoy a romance with the heroines while fully enjoying the romance situations/events which occur on the way back home from school.
What I cherish is the "excitement" that occurs when I leave school,
The excitement of finding the girl I'm interested in on my way home,
The excitement of the two of us going home together,
And the excitement of confessing.
Hooksoft presents a school romance with the theme of "excitement".

Seishun Fragile is the weakest game Purple Soft has put out in the last decade, though it is still a cut above the average.

None of those four VNs are translated yet, but all of those are surely would be interesting if the VNs are available in English.

Anofure - The second short all age VN that Pulltop produce, and this time we have the trio with usual combination (Two girls and a male MC) make a radio show. The main point to me here is the VA for one of the heroines Fairouz Ai who recently got some big roles in her career, such as Natsumi Manatsu/Cure Summer in TRPC and Jolyne Kujo in Jojo Stone Ocean. I believe that Pulltop want to bring this overseas like Umikana, although the pandemic stop their plan so maybe they didn't have enough resources to work on this for now (I still want to see Pulltop bring this to the overseas someday if possible).

Seishun Fragile - Well I can't help but notice that some of the heroines breasts are quite big lol. That aside it has witch heroine which mean magic setting, and I can't say much on this other than we may have either Nekonyan, Mangagamer, or Sekai license this in the future.

Houkago Cinderella - Looks like usual moege from Hooksoft, and apparently it'll have some comedy if we look at IxSHE Tell. At least I can say that the graphic is quite good and we may have Nekonyan (Or perhaps Shiravune) localize this in the future.

Kakenuke - Saga Planet here decided to recreate Natsuyume Nagisa with summer setting along with sexy school uniform lol, and as the result we have Kakenuke with the premise that the MC was too focused on the job so much that he didn't need youth and dragged by two heroines into joining their own respective clubs. Like Saga Planet other VNs, one should expect that there'll be some usual nakige story in the VN. Oh yes this time Saga Planet using Kirikiri engine in that it's happen because of some internal happening, so Nekonyan here shouldn't have much trouble with the engine like at Kirikoi if they want to localize Kakenuke in the future (And it might be possible that they already been working on this).

That's all for what I can say in regard of August 2020 releases.
