Visual Novel Translation Status (14/07/2024)

Welcome to this week VNTS review, and because we have Hookah Haze release with the premise is similar with Coffee Talk, I made the parody of Coffee Talk by change 'Coffee' into 'Shisha' with shiha is another name for hookah, so we have 'Shisha Talk' as the title. As for this week, while usually we got a breather after AX, this week is quite plain seeing there's no much happening. That said, there's still some news to note, such as the release of Hookah Haze and Sekai revealed the progress for two of their projects. With that done, let's see what I can write in regard of this week.

Last week I did miss some updates from AX, so let me try to round it up here. At AX, Mangagamer did announce the release date for one of their VN, with said VN is Steam Prison fandisc and the release date for it will be on November 28th later so feel free to note the date if you want to see more Steam Prison. Also actually Denpasoft did announce Kurikuri Click 3 with the VN decided to be a bit meta with the single heroine being gravure model who also is a succubus (For the info the VA of the trilogy is gravure model), and looks like the announcement is too underwhelming so much nobody add the English version entry on its VNDB page. Aniplex had the biggest announcement that I missed last week, although said announcement is the plan to localized second part of Tsukihime Remake, which would be involve a lot of waiting seeing Nasu probably still thinking on how he resolve the character that he add in the first part while also adding more new characters. For the reminder, second part has the remaining three routes along with the new route for Satsuki, so it's very easy to say Nasu will spent very long time writing it if the first part is any indication.

Cherry Kiss was just released Sexcalibur nukige, and well feel free to get it if you want to see on how the MC do his revenge quest to the leader of the female knights who destroyed his hometown by raping her. For Hookah Haze, once again the premise is quite similar to Coffee Talk with the MC as the manager of hookah lounge listened to the problem that his customer tell with him provided the fitting hookah, which in turn it's also similar with Valhalla with pixel arts and all. For the premise, once again it's about the MC Toru (By the way he looks like the female and good looking at that) who is sick and about to die was asked to manage hookah lounge by his doctor in order to make the most of his remaining time. In the lounge, Toru got three unusual girls as his customers with he soon find out the three girls have bottled up problem, and it's upt to Toru on how he'll help the girl. Go get Hookah Haze if you're into the VN that has pixel arts like Valhalla, and have fun.

Sekai did reveal the progress for their projects that they've been planned to be released on this year, Amairo Chocolata 3 and Akaneiro, and surprisingly they have good number of progress. For Akaneiro currently it's been in programming with they already completed both of the translation and editing work, while for Amairo Chocolata 3 currently it's been at three quarter translated. Lastly for fan translation updates, we have Akagoei 3 is at 82.96% edited, Shinzou Translation's secret project is at three quarter edited, and Karenai Sekai was already fully translated.

That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.
