In Search of the Lost Jewel Review
For this week title, because we finally have Ushinawareta Mirai o Motomete full translation patch available, I made parody of its English title, In Search of the Lost Future, with I changed the word 'Future' into 'Jewel', so we have 'In Search of the Lost Jewel' as the title. As for the reason on why I chose the word 'Jewel', it's because I decided to shortened the title as Ushieta with that word is from the characters from a fanfic that has the story about the search of the mythical jewel, Ushi and Eta. As for this week, besides Ushieta release we have Shiravune announced three title at once and also new fan translation projects. Of course, there's also Nekopara 5 release with it the last title for Nekopara VN series. Overall this week is an interesting one, and let's see what I can write in regard of it.
We have Loverable programmer telling us in VNDB that he can't fulfill the target for August 2025 release because the editor was forced to quit the project with he's now the last remaining original member, thus putting the project's future in question. That said, he feel that he was too far to consider himself quitting the project seeing it's been nine years since the project started (And I remember on how I did keep tracking the progress way back in 2016), so he decided to keep continuing with the project as long as it's possible (The post in regard of it). As for the current progress, currently Loverable is already fully translated and edited with almost 40% (39.4%) lines are approved. We also have another updates on Majikoi A Plus Disk, and currently it's been at 16.21% edited.
Frontwing did release Kanade, and what I understand is that it's shorter compared to Perennial Dusk. That, and the story is lighter even with the post apocalypse world setting where it was overrun by the plants. For the premise, our MC Yuuto met the titular character Kanade with she said that she was half-alien along with have the mission to save the world through the song, which contain the power to pacify the plants. From there, Yuuto and Kanade start their love story. Go get Kanade if you've been waiting for it, and have fun. Once again we have Sekai manage to released Nekopara 5, and for the info it's still not available on Steam so you need to go to the other store if you want to get it. For the content, it's more or less like Nine Shinsou in which it's the after stories for the series with the MC finally can have sex with his own little sister Shigure together with the other catgirls. Go get Nekopara 5 if you're waiting for it since it was announced in AX 2022, and have fun.
Once again we have Shiravune announced three titles at once, and the first one is Criminal Border Last Part (Life Sentence) in which it's obviously the last part of Criminal Border with we'll have the group dealing with the aftermath of the event in Part 3. Also apparently it's not as good as previous episodes, although you may find yourself have another opinion if you decide to play it later. The second announcement is the second VN of ExS-Tia Parallel series, Reunion, which is actually related to ExS-Tia 3 with the main heroine heard the news about her older sister who was supposed to be dead following the event of ExS-Tia 3, which make it some sort of the sequel of ExS-Tia 3 even though ultimately the story is still standalone. For the last announcement, we have E School Life with it being Hooksoft VN, which is not really surprising if we remember Shiravune localized HaremKingdom. For the story, it's about the MC who was back to have school in Japan after he has enough studying in overseas, and from there he does his best to get the girlfriend. Note that there's no exact release date for all three new announcements, so I'll note it if Shiravune announce one later.
One of Alicesoft's fan decided to work on Toushin Toshi 3, and currently it's been at 20% translated along with 10% edited. For Toushin Toshi 3, from what I see it was set in one of the city at Rance world, Toushin city (It also the setting for Rance IV), where the annual Toushin Tournament held with each contestant accompanied by beautiful female partner and the winner can do anything to the loser's partner. For Toushin Toshi 3 premise, we have the MC Natch searching for his father who have been missing in the tournament five years ago, and obviously he'll need to do his best in the tournament. We also have a new project with a goal to translate Natsu no Ame (The link to the project). I do remember that my roommate used to playing this with ATLAS, so it's nice to see it finally has translation project. For the story, we have the MC Sousuke who was suspended from the soccer club and yet he still train in case the suspension get revoked. One day, he met an older girl where he made some mistakes to helping her, and as soon as he get back home he find out the girl was his long lost half-sister. Oh yes, it already has some progress in which it's been at 9% translated.
Lastly, we have the aforementioned Ushieta with it was adapted into the anime back in 2014. For the premise, we have the MC who is the member of the astronomy club with the club is in reality more like de facto of student council with their job is to solve the problems that the real student council have. One day after Sou stays in the infirmary until night because he was injured by one of judo club member, he felt the school building shaking with Sou goes to the center of the shake. There, he find the naked girl who introduce herself as Yui with she know a lot about Sou for some reasons. Afterwards, Yui decided to join Sou into the astronomy club. As for Ushieta itself, I know that it also had translation project in 2017, although said project was stopped after some months, leaving it untranslated until Studio Frisay decided to work on it. That, and it has quite good graphic for a VN that was released in 2010. Go get Ushieta if you've been waiting for it, and have fun.
That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.
