I QC'd this together with Infernoplex, casual_scrub and someone called Jack. It was an arduous, monumental task but we probably did well enough. Should you find some problems feel free to post screenshots in the #majikoi-discussion chat on the JAST Discord or here! (*´∀｀*) Happy Majikoi-mas

The release date for official release of Majikoi by JAST has been announced and it is tomorrow December 25th! https://twitter.com/jastusa/status/1341026098662891523 You can buy the game here: https://jastusa.com/majikoi-love-me-seriously Those that have preordered the physical edition will get digital keys so that they can play on release while the physical shipment is being handled. Unfortunately due to licensing issues the English release won't contain the full voice cast of the Japanese release, but the main characters are all still voiced. You can read more about this in this blog post: Blog post is NFSW! https://blog.jlist.com/featured/official-jast-usa-post-about-majikoi/ But there are already rumors that the community is working to fan patch the missing voices into this release so maybe it won't be an issue for long.

What about translation? Is it better or worse? Honorifics were kept intact as they should be? No westernized jokes and memes?

I remember that Flyable Heart have (MTL) translation patch and that the menu has very long (5 seconds) loading, although the most annoying one would be the need to mount the DVD if you apply the patch, which is no good for someone who like to pinch the HDD space (Like me) because it mean I must allocate the additional HDD space at about three GB for the ISO file. I didn't play Kiminago yet and it also got the translation patch as well, although looking from the Flyable Heart which obviously share same engine as Kiminago I would expect same problem to occur. For Flyable Heart, there's three set of routes that sort of serve as question-answer relation like back at Higurashi, and those three pairs are Mayuri-Sakurako, Amane-Kururi, and Yui-Suzuno. While there's still some plot element that I didn't find it quite satisfying (Mostly at Kukuri's route), overall Flyable Heart here manage to complete the main story. For Kiminago, I believe that it's for Mayuri's fans who didn't find her development in regard of family issue at Flyable Heart satisfying, although to me it make sense that they wrote Mayuri route in Flyable Heart like what it does there to a degree because Mayuri's family issue here is almost unrelated to the main story. Whether you'll play Kiminago or not I would say that it depend on whether you like Mayuri at the main game or not, and if you want to see more of her after reading her route then sure you can play Kiminago. So yeah I recommend you to read Flyable Heart first, and whether you'll continuing to Kiminago or not later it's up to you. Either way have fun. Back to the topic, and as for hidden gem I would say that it's quite hard to say here. That said I can still give some VNs that I wish can be more popular such as Kichikuou Rance, Hatsukoi Sankaime, Kami no Rhapsody, Seabed, and Galaxy Angel trilogy. Oh and Flyable Heart here is also count.

Hey hey and Ho ho, quick post before I write up any bigger update! Merry only-slightly-late Xmas! Here's a new demo video of the project: EDIT: Xmas video trailer deleted for being too wildly out of date at this point. (2023) It's just a collection of short clips from different places, meant to show the technical side and also the rough TL/writing quality of what we're working with. The scenes are random, spoiler free and not in chronological order. Feel free to let us know what you think!

That's under the assumption that they were removed in the first place. But if they weren't...

From what I see when it come to this, I can say this adaptation is like a student who use cheat sheet to take the exam and obviously the student is failed because he didn't understand the meaning of the question and thus he didn't know why the right answer is right in the first place. Bad analogy I know, but it should make sense if you already finished Higurashi.

Took me a while this year.
