VN of the Month September 2021 - Fuyukara, Kururu.


For me only Fuyukara, Kururu. makes a stand in September.

 

1. Makimura Hazuki no Koigatari 槇村葉月の恋語り [210924] Azarashi Soft+1
53.jpg
The protagonist Kayabuki Akira is troubled by the fact that he has no dreams.
After an unfortunate accident in which his apartment was trapped under a fallen tree, he was forced to leave where he was living and was introduced to a rundown apartment called "Shoufuku-sou" with a rent of 20,000 yen as a temporary residence. However, his misfortune is far from over.
On the night he moves into the apartment, the wall connecting his room to his neighbor collapses due to a noise problem he caused. Until repairs are completed, he is forced to live with his neighbor, Makimura Hazuki.
At first, they are confused by the unfamiliarity of living together (and with the opposite sex), but as they get to know each other, they lose their reservations and gradually grow closer.
One day, he is asked to help Hazuki with her hobby of making movies. The wheels of his lost youth slowly and quietly begin to turn.

3. Omoide Kakaete Ai ni Koi!! 思い出抱えてアイにコイ!! [210924] Hooksoft 1
54.jpg
Spring, the season of encounters and partings. It's spring break, and Sakawa Haruki is about to go into 3rd grade.
His childhood friend group includes: Kuriyama Tomari, Tokorozawa Iku, and Sugou Chisato. 2 new girls just joined the group: Harunohara Yuuna, who lives in the next town over, and Nishitani Shizuru, who just moved into the neighborhood.
Ironically, at the same time these 2 girls joined, Haruki had to move away from home and his childhood friends.
During spring many years later, Haruki's father gets transferred to work overseas. Haruki decides to stay in Japan to concentrate on university entrance exams, and ends up living in an apartment owned by a relative. This apartment happens to be in the same town where he parted from his childhood friends.
Thus, the rails of fate cause Haruki and his childhood friends to meet once again.
Haruki was worried that the girls wouldn't accept him in the group like they did in the past, but despite the long gap, they were happy to see him and welcomed him back warmly. However, the fact that these girls have grown into beautiful women has caused Haruki to feel more embarrassed than happy.
As they reminisce about the past, filling in the blanks between the time they parted, he'll get to know them and perhaps enter into a relationship with one of them...

Once again, along with his comrades and the rest of the world, he gets caught up in their ambitions regarding the comet. The final summer was about to begin.

This story occurs before the events of the war that brought the world to ruin; at this point, Yumemi has been working at the Flowercrest Department Store's rooftop planetarium for about ten years. One day, Yumemi begins to act strangely, culminating in her simply walking out and wandering around the town. The staff of the planetarium are bewildered, and one of the workers—a woman named Satomi Kurahashi—is ordered to go follow Yumemi and bring her back. Before long, Yumemi begins to run out of battery power.

6. Fuyukara, Kururu. ふゆから、くるる。 [210924] Silky's Plus 1 2
76.jpg
"Eh?
What do you mean that Shihon-chan might die?
Eeh? Shihon-chan's head has gone missing?"
It seems Shihon-chan's headless body was found in the meditation room.
"B-but, the neck can still be reattached within 48 hours right?
Eh? The head can't be found!?
S-somebody hid it? And you don't know who? B-but that's..."
A murder isn't unusual.
After all, there's at least one bloodthirsty killer at school.
Murdering people is fine and all but it's considered a taboo that must be never violated to decapitate and hide their head.
Because one can never be revived if so.
I can't believe someone resented Shihon-chan enough to kill her in a way that would prevent her from being revived.
If her head isn't found within two days, she'll really kick the bucket!
That's a reality I absolutely refuse!
Now's not the time to cry or be confused!
There should be something that I am capable of!
"That's something I haven't done yet but... I-I!"
I'll find Shihon-chan's head without fail!
"Say hello to the great detective, me!"
A boarding system school isolated from the outside world.
--And there do the immortal girls live.
The time it takes for them to become an adult is the same time it takes for them to deage and become a baby, they grow up until they become an adult once more and then do they deage again⁠—a cycle that's being repeated.
There's only one condition in order to graduate from school.
One needed to be deemed a prodigy by someone observing from the outside.
The moment that verdict be handed down, the girl's graduation would be recognized and she would disappear from school.
The immortal girls' peaceful school life would be greatly disturbed by a certain murder case.
Why are the girls immortal?
Why do they grow up and then age backwards?
How long were they locked up inside the school?
Why can they be resuscitated even if their heads are decapitated?
What happens to girls who were never deemed a prodigy?
What is happening in the outside world?
Why are there only girls?
Where are the males?
What does it mean to die?
What does it mean to live?
What is life?
For what purpose does life exist?
--the key to this case is a needle.
Wool needle. Knitting needle. Sewing machine needle.
Silk needle. Pongee needle. Gas needle.
Futon needle. Western-style clothes needle. Bait needle.
Marking needle. T-Pin. Triangular leather needle.
It is the needle that would weave the immortal girls' death.

7. Ore no Cupid ga Ponkotsu Sugite Kowa~i. 俺の恋天使がポンコツすぎてコワ~い。 [210924] Hulotte 1
7543.jpg
In the midst of an ordinary everyday life. About the time for the yearning for love to sprout.
I somehow was unable to take the first step. Such a day has come to pass.
"What's this thing?"
Before my eyes is a fallen notebook.
"Hey, hey, you there!"
"Why won't you try picking it up?"
A human in presence but not in appearance popped up in front of me.
What a strange girl.
"I am an angel of love! Got any girl residing in your heart?"
How suspicious no matter how you look at it.
I tried ignoring her to her dismay as she thrust the notebook at me.
"Love Note! This is called the Love Note!"
"It possesses the power to fulfill your romantic endeavors guaranteed!"
It seems that when you write down the name of your crush, it can gauge the destiny level between her and the current you and it can even provide you ways to improve that level.
"By the way, I'll even act as your assistant!"
However,
「 If the owner of the Love Note isn't able to find his destined bride-to-be within 90 days, his sex organ is forfeit. Nonreturnable. 」
"Which is why you should do your best, okay?"
Thus, while having the support of the love angel, I brandish the power of this so-called Love Note all in the name of fulfilling love.

Aikoi - Hooksoft know on how to use the trope She Is All Grown Up for one of the heroines, in which her circumstance is like Eikichi of Persona 2. While I didn't mind if Nekonyan negotiating to release this in exchange of Melty Moment further delay like IxSHE Tell, I assume that it would took them more time to translate this compared to finishing up Melty Moment so I won't expect Nekonyan to license this in near future.

Ore Cupid - Initially the premise is like Death Note parody with the MC must fact the consequence that his sex organ will be removed if he fail to find his lover within three months, although turned out that the story is like Bokuten to a degree except without sudden soap drama villain and depressed MC (And author) who thinking that love only bring suffering.

Fuyukara Kururu - Finally the writer decided to make a female MC in a Kururu series, and from what I can see this time it'll be focused on murder mystery along with the VN still has science fiction that has been there since Harumade. I would like to see this translated if only for the cute female MC lol (Also yes there'll be GL plot in this VN), although obviously it'll take a while if the developer didn't want to break the contract with Sekai seeing that Sekai may be overwhelmed with a number of licenses and that they may have a hard time to add this to Steam considering their recent failure on Amatsutsumi.

That's all for what I can comment in regard of September 2021 releases.
