Welcome to this week VNTS review, and for the title because we finally have Hime no Rakuen available on Steam along with Fakku released Forbidden Wards, I decided to combine both into 'The Ward of Paradise' with 'Paradise' come from Hime no Rakuen with 'Rakuen' mean 'Paraside'. Anyway, this week is quite something if we see it from Mangagamer updates alone, in which it's been a while with the last one is in last May. Other than Mangagamer's updates, we also have the notable Sakura no Uta updates. Overall, this week is another average one, and let's see what I can write in regard of it.

Turned out we have Hime no Rakuen available in English as simultaneous release back in August 23rd, although I just wait until the Steam release for it back at last Friday. Also as it turned out, the translator use MTL in order to do the translation work. That said, I'll still mention the premise a bit, in which we'll have the female MC who is also the princess in the warmongering empire Canaria is the victim of her empire's political play with her driven out because her mother is the prostitute and was killed. One day, she saw a handsome prisoner of war, and she asked her father to give her the prisoner. From there, Canaria start to play with the handsome prisoner, with Canaria dominate the prisoner. While it use MTL, it's still interesting to see rare nukige otome VN available in English, let alone the one that has female domination, so feel free to try the VN if you didn't mind the MTL and want to try the unique otome. Oh yes Fakku released Forbidden Wards in which it's the nukige set in the hospital, and turned out there's some interesting plot with the amnesiac MC was kidnapped with he start to plot his escape. Go get the nukige if you're interested with it, and have fun.

For Mangagamer's updates, the most notable one is Rance X is finally fully translated, although it's still not over yet because the editing work is still at 5% done and will take some times to be done. We also have Luckydog is now fully translated and edited after there's no visible progress for years, Eve of December is fully edited, RGD was fully retranslated and 70% edited, Funbag Fantasy 4 is at 89% translated along with 86% edited, Rance 03 is at 88% translated along with 79% edited, Sleepless Midsummer is at 77% translated and three quarter edited, and Battle Scarred Homunculus along with both Ixseal and Sex Open World are already fully translated and edited. Several of their updates are also including the testing, in which they already finished the testing for both Battle Scarred Homunculus and Eve of December with they started testing work for Sex Open World. Lastly Mangagamer announced the exact date for their next release, Dead Days, in which they'll release it in Halloween Days (October 31st).

This week we have Akagoei 3 is at 21.16% in QA and Taima Seiko Alice is at 70% edited. That said, this week fan translation highlight is obviously on Sakura no Uta update, in which the translator manages to translated the halfway of Chapter 2, Abend, and that big jump on the progress bring the overall Sakura no Uta translation progress is now at 20% done.

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