It took almost 2 weeks longer than I had originally hoped, but now the translation is finally complete after nearly 7 months of working on it. Granted, I had taken a more leisurely approach to the translation this time compared to when I did Imaimo and H2O, but I feel I still managed to get it done in a reasonable amount of time. Suffice it to say, I'm relieved the biggest and most tedious portion of the patch process is now done so I can now move on to editing the game's images, of which almost all that require editing are for the UI, so not that bad really in comparison to the previous two projects. It always feels wonderful when the UI gets done because it feels like an official localization, which is generally what I'm striving for each time I've worked on these projects to make playing the game as seamless and enjoyable as possible. Anyway, in the meantime while I'm working on the images, I'd also like to point out that the game is currently 50% off on DMM for the next two days, and if possible, please consider buying the game. So, I'll be back for another update either this or next month.

It took a bit longer than I had anticipated, but now Nagisa's arc is finally complete, bringing the total script to just about 66% complete. Her arc in particular has 3 lengthy H scenes all in a row right at the very end, so that was partially the reason that it took me a bit longer. But anyway, there are just about 12,000 lines left, and it all revolves around Yui split into two parts, Yui 1 and Yui 2. I'm still hoping to get the translation done by no later than July, so it shouldn't be that long before I get into editing the images and then the script. So I'll probably have another update next month sometime as we approach the grand finale.

About a month later, and now another arc is complete, this time with Airi. That brings the current total to about 45% complete for the entire script. Although there's still about 20,000 lines to go, it always feels better once I get over the 50% mark, which I should hit sometime next week in Nagisa's arc. Funnily enough, Nagisa's arc is almost exactly the same size as Airi's, even down to the amount of text itself, with only 482 characters separating them. Both arcs were written by the same author, Saitou Kenji, so that may have had something to do with it. So I'll get back to working on it and have another update next month.

As for this week VNTS Review title, I decide to use one obscure NISA game (The Witch and the Hundred Knight) so that we have 'The Witch and the Headless Knight'. For more elaboration it's because we have headless knight antagonist in Ninja Girl VN that was released at this week, and witch heroine in Majokoi that was almost ready for the release (Yeah it's very cliche I know). Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and if I may frank here this week is kind of dry because we only have less than ten updates. Although if one want to think in a positive light, perhaps all of the localization companies are preparing for AX so they didn't have enough time to make the updates. Anyway let's see what I can write for this week despite the lack of updates here. As suspected we didn't have Mangagamer announce one announcements for AX, because they increased the number of the announcements to four. While we can speculate what kind of title that Mangagamer would bring (With one clue was pointed towards Sakuramori), at least we can certain that all of those title from Mangagamer available partners so no announcements from the new partners. Other than that, once again we have Sideboob hardcopy release back at June 27th and Hapymaher hardcopy back at June 2nd. While I still don't know if Mangagamer would announce another Purple Software VN (Or Hapymaher FD for that matter), at least Mangaggamer sales on Hapymaher is looking good seeing that Manggamer print the hardcopy for it. While I did say that this week is lack of updates, actually we have Ninja Girl release in which it's one of Sekai VN that was written by Harumade Kururu writer. While Harukuru here is a sci-fi VN that deceivingly begin as nukige, actually the writer here was more experienced in writing supernatural story since back at 2003 and it show in Ninja Girl here in which the girls must face a headless knight. While both of the premise and the setting is quite promising, too bad that apparently the VN itself is quite short so we may not get a satisfying conclusion. Still it might be interesting though if you just want to see the girls, because after all the girls are looking good. Almost forgot to say that the MC is the titular ninja girl, and that there's no male other than the headless knight. We also have Sekai open the Steam store for Majokoi and that they'll give us more info on Majokoi AX later, so hopefully they'll be able to fulfill their promise on give the info later (And possibly also announce Nanairo release exact date). We only have one update, and the updates was in regard of usual Eustia in which it's currently was at 71.68% translated with Eustia's chapter was at 6.48% translated. There's also the matter with Pure Pure translation project, in that the translator said he alreasy finished his urgent real life matter so hopefully he'll be able to work more on Pure Pure. Like Sekai we also have a release, and that the release is a loli VN in which there's no much info other than apparently the loli heroine was run away from home and met the MC. Just in case you didn't like loli VN (And feel uncomfortable by that), then there's Taimanin Asagi Premium Box release in that it retranslated six nukige that was already translated a long time ago, so if you felt unsatisfied with the older translation you can replay it by using the new version. I guess that's all for this week VNTS review and I'm sorry if this is a bit sort here. See you next week.
