Visual Novel Translation Status (23/07/2023) Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and as for the title I'll tell it in PS later. Anyway as for this week, let's just say that it's an above average one thanks to Nekonyan's release. Other than Nekonyan's release, we also have Cherry Kiss announce yet another nukige and Shiravune has some announcements. Let's see what I can write in regard of this week here. We have From Madness with Love VN release, and what I can say is that the VN is about the MC who get transferred into another school because the MC last school was bombed by terrorists (Would be plausible to happen in war zone) will eventually date one of four heroes who are never in the same page with the MC. And yes I keep saying the MC, because the synopsis didn't mention whether the MC is male or female, so maybe this is self insert VN. Either way not my interest, but feel free to try if you're interested with it. For Cherry Kiss newest nukige, it's pretty clear the translator make the parody of Super Smash Bros with the title is Super Smash Gals: Ultimate Orgy. From what I see, the nukige is about the male MC who has his female companions being disgusted with thanks to the MC like to see their big breast, and the MC decide to correct the girls through sex. By the way it's about to be released, with the exact date will be on 28th later. For some reason, Shiravune decided to delay Succubus Session 1st pat release to be between August or September. Curiously, turned out that their plan to release the 2nd part is actually not supposed to be known by public, so they removed the entry in Johren store back in 21st after said entry is being open for at least a week. They also released Queen of the Otaku back on 18th, and the premise is about two cute girls who enter the manga club with one of the girl is someone who is very popular and didn't like anyone else is more popular than her, so of course the popular girl would end up bullying the other girl (At least that's what I got from the synopsis and review). Lastly, they also announce the exact release date for White Album, and it'll be on August 4th later. For fan translation section, we have H2O is at 15.8% in QC, Kozue's route of Haruka na Sora is at 41% translated, 908 out of 2499 (Around 36%) main script of Fate/Extra CCC are edited, ChuSingura is at 29.43% translated, Tsuma Netori is at 45% translated, Akagoei FD is at 73.56% edited along with 39.08% QA-ed, and Akagoei 3 is at 37.56% translated. There's a new group with the goal to translate Tsui no Sora Remake with the current progress was at 28% translated song with a quarter edited, although I may as well wait and see until very significant progress happening, such as the release of the full translation patch. Last but not the least, we have Nekonyan released My Klutzy Cupid which to say is quite surprising seeing that it's Hulotte VN with Shiravune did release one of it's library (Kamiyaba). Like Kamiyaba, the MC still has need to deal with love through supernatural mean, and in this time the MC Tsumugu need to be contend with the titular klutzy cupid Eil. For the premise, we have Tsumugu find a suspicious note called Love Note with the cupid who owned it Eil forcefully pass the ownership to Tsumugu. While it seems that the Love Note can force someone to be in love with the owner, unfortunately he can't just write up the name like in Death Note to do so, but instead Love Note offer the advice to get closer to the name that written in there. Also turned out that Tsumugu only have 90 days to find his love interest, or else he'll not be able to have sex anymore. While the premise is very obviously parodying Death Note, turned out that it also has the story that resemble Bokuten, albeit without 'love can only bring suffering' stuff. Go get Klutzy Cupid if you've been waiting for it, and have fun. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and sorry for being late here. See you next week. PS - For the title, because we have Klutzy Cupid released with someone said that the 90 days limit is like American reality show 90 Days Fiancee (Besides Death Note and Bokuten). Said reality show has the premise of pairing the people from different country with the foreigner receive K-1 visa that require the foreigner to marry within 90 days, or else the foreigner must leave. So yeah, I decided to make the parody of the reality show by changing 'Fiancee' into 'Cupid', especially with the titular cupid would accompany Tsumugu through his love interest searching.

Visual Novel Translation Status (20/08/2023) Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and since we have both Clover Day's along with Walkure Romanze were released, I figure that I'll just combine the word from both so we have 'Clover Romanze' as the title. For this week, I should say that this is more interesting compared to the last week even though technically we have less updates, especially with the aforementioned Clover Day's and Walkure Romanze releases. Other than that, we have usual fan translation update along with Shiravune announced their new title. Overall once again this week is an interesting one, and let's see what I can write in regard of it. We have Hana Awase exact release date, and said date is October 26th. Although it's only for console version, so no Mangagamer version that is available in PC. For when Mangagamer will release it, I don't really know other than it's announced that PC version will come in the future. Sekai finally have the exact release date for Usonatsu, and it'll be on September 15th later although the announcement is from JP site instead of Sekai themselves (At least we have their backlog reduced yet again). For Shiravune announcement, it's Kuroinu 2 in which it's the sequel of the first Kuroinu with the MC Derek who is said to be the second coming of the legendary Vult that has done a lot of heroic actions, and by heroic actions I mean raping a lot of women with Derek does his best to make his predecessor proud. Yeah, we'll going to have a lot of rape scenes here, and in case you want to play Kuroinu 2 then you can note that it'll be released in between October to December later. There's one underrated VN called Bloodstained Flowers that has been translated a fan, and the premise is we'll going to have a group of students came into an abandoned mansion with it's previous owner being a scientist that involved in researching a very poisonous flower that will either directly kill the victim or make the victim showing violent tendency, which naturally the group of the students will be the victims of the flower and then the madness ensues. Feel free to get the VN if you're interested with it (Available for free in the official website), and have fun. For the rest of the updates, we have Akagoei FD is at 89.66% edited along with 57.47% in QA, Akagoei 3 is at 44.85% translated, ChuSingura is at 30.45% translated, 1209 out of 2499 main script of Fate Extra CCC are edited, Tsuma Netori is at 65% translated, and H2O is at 77.7% (What a lucky number) in QA. I already know the team who translate Walkure Romanze has target to release Noel's patch on this year, although I never think the exact release date would be on the same day as Clover Day's release (Not that I'm complained or anything). For the premise itself, we have the school with the focus on jousting sport, and for explanation it's like fencing except each participant ride a horse and using lance to score points. We have Takahiro who is an ace in jousting but need to retire because of the accident (Mod Clephas point that it's better reason than Masaya's reason to retire in Aokana), although he didn't entirely abandon the path of jousting with him working as beglieter (ie the assistant) using full knowledge of jousting to assist the heroines in the jousting match. It should be mentioned that while the VN is not as well known as Majikoi, Ricotta still manage to grab some non-eroge VAs (Particularly Shitaya Noriko and Uchiyama Yumi) to act in here. Go get Noel's patch if you've been waiting for it, and have fun. Last but definitely not the least, we finally have Nekonyan released Clover Day's after years of work and tribulations. From what I can gather, at first we have the translation project for this established way back in 2014 by Astro with the most progress is that he manage to release the translation patch that translate up to the prologue. Some times after that, Astro stop his translation work and Ittaku took over the project with him finishing up the translation works, although it didn't mean that it's ready to be released (The reason is because of the legal stuff). Fast forward to 2019, Nekonyan decided to offer their help with Clover Day's and announced it in January 2020, although it's still not over because Steam decided to randomly reject the initial build (Which Hikari Field need to resubmit it) and Alcot also need to work on the Plus version build. Finally after all of it was done, we have it released back in 18th. For the premise, it's about Yuuto who is live together with his (Mostly female) childhood friends with Yuuto himself is from the orphanage in England. From there, he'll have romance with one of his childhood friends. Go get Clover Day's if you've been waiting for it (At most 9 years), and have fun. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week. PS - I know that Shiravune announced Shukusei no Star today, although I'll save the talk about it for the next VNTS Review.

Visual Novel Translation Status (13/08/2023) Since we have Sakura Bunny Girls released around three weeks ago (Sadly Winged Cloud didn't do female MC anymore) and we have Jewel Bem Hunter Lime released few days ago, I figure to combine both title so we have 'Sakura Jewel Hunter' as the title. For this week, let's just say that it's a breather before Clover Day's releases. On the other hand though, there are several smaller releases along with usual updates, so all in all this week is a below average one. Let's see what I can write in regard of this week. Some fans decided to start Aonatsu Line for Switch version with the plan to release the demo on last August. While this is the good news seeing that Alka seems to be not working on this anymore (No more update beside announced that they work on it), unfortunately I'm not the fan on how the translator decide to just work on Switch version even though it's because they're not exactly have much choice in the first place (The programmer can only do work on Switch engine). In the end, I guess I have no much say other than good luck to the team. By the way, just in case someone want to know the most recent of Tsui no Sora Remake translation progress, currently we have it at 41% translated along with 35% edited. We have two fan translated VNs released at this week, with one of those is Jewel Bem Hunter Lime in which it's PC98 VN with the release compiled all of 12 chapters. From what I see, it's quite like 12 episodes anime to a degree with each chapter dealing with on the titular Lime with her sidekick Bass came into Earth in order to chase the demon who stole the six jewels from her homeland, and apparently the series was influenced by 80's magical girl show so we'll going to have Lime transform for each of the necessary job of the week (At least looking from the review of the anime adaptation of it). For the second release, we have Planetarian Snow Globe with the premise is we'll going to see the moment before the catastrophe that happen in Planetarian, and it's the adaptation of one of Planetarian short stories. Go get the patch if you want to see more Planetarian even though it's quite short, and have fun. For the remaining fan translation updates, we have Tsuma Netori is at 60% translated, ChuSingura is at 30.31% translated, 1133 out of 2499 main scripts of Fate/Extra CCC are edited, H2O is at 63.5% in QA, Akagoei FD is past halfway (50.57%) in QA, and Akagoei 3 is at 41.05% translated. That's all for the remaining fan translation updates. Sekai has several announcements, with one of those is in regard of Karakara 3 with it's build is 70% complete and the CG work is in progress, and that they have the plan to release it in 2024. Another update is in regard of Usonatsu, with them already opened the Steam store of it and they targeting this year release. We also have Obedient Women released it's last route, and with this now we have all available routes in English thus making Obedient Women fully translated, although the developer may have another story available later. We have Aksys announced the exact release date for Shuuen no Virche, and it'll be on November 9th later. From JAST, we have Yomegami is fully translated. We also have Hikari Field announced they'll release Koichoco in this year, and turned out that it'll be included English translation so at least there won't be Chinese only release first for Koichoco, which would be too bad if Nekonyan do that even with redundant release. Frontwing announce two new VN, with the first one is Ginka in which they already had it for a while, although they just opened the Steam store for it. For the premise, it's about the MC who lost his female childhood friend (The titular Ginka) with him decided to go to another town to move on, and when the MC come back to his hometown to make sure if Ginka is really gone suddenly he saw her again with Ginka herself is not changed from five years ago. It bears a mention that ATRI staffs (Particularly the writer) working on this, so you may see some resemblance with it. The second project is Everlasting Flowers in that it's sprite work with same artist as Aokana, and from the art apparently it's GL VN. Interestingly, this time they decided to ask Frontwing instead of Nekonyan to localize it. Anyway, no much info other than the Japanese version of it will be released on 2024. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.

Visual Novel Translation Status (03/09/2023) Because we have Norn9 FD with Nobuo Uematsu as one of the composer released and Nekonyan also announce the exact release date for Secret Agent, I figure that I make a parody for one of the most famous soundtrack that Uematsu have, specifically 'One-Winged Angel' which is very famous as the theme of the main villain for FF7 (And yes, in the past Uematsu is more known as the main composer of Final Fantasy), so we have 'One-Winged Agent' as the title, which somehow still fitting seeing that there's Agent archetype in Yu-Gi-Oh with each members themselves are the angels that represent the planets. Anyway, while Nekonyan announcement is interesting, overall I should say that this week is another below average one, and let's see what I can write in regard of it. Aksys did release the fandisc for Norn9, and it's obviously the after stories for each of the routes in the main game. Other than that, it's just too bad there's no Steam release for English version of Norn9 while Idea Factory approved Steam release for Chinese version. Go play Norn9 FD if you want to see it's and obviously have Switch, and have fun. Once again Frontwing delaying the release for Sharin to September, and apparently the reason is because there's still some works left or something like that. Then again, Frontwing did have two (Relatively) major releases in last two months, so perhaps the delay is kind of make sense to a degree. As for the exact release date of Secret Agent, it'll be on 29th later so feel free to take note of the date if you want to play first translated ensemble VN. For fan translation, we have the QC work for H2O is finished, so all that's left is obviously working on what's left before finally released it, and since the translator targeting September release we may see it in the near future. For the rest of the updates, we have 1465 out of 2499 main scripts of Fate/Extra CCC are edited, Tsuma Netori is at 40% edited, ChuSingura is at 31.11% translated, Akagoei FD is fully edited, and Akagoei 3 is past halfway (50.03%) translated. We also have Aonatsu Line trial patch release, although since the translator is very honest so much that he admit that he used DeepL to learning the base of the dialogue, obviously it's no longer can be called as manual translation. At least I can just ignore this altogether now, seeing that I'm not exactly a fan of them working on Switch version instead of PC version even though I know the programmer can only work on Switch game. That's all for what I can week in regard of this week, and sorry for being short here. See you next week. PS - I know today we have Majikoi A-5 release along with Shiravune leaked a very obvious hint to their next announcement, although I'll talk about it in the next VNTS Review.

Visual Novel Translation Status (27/08/2023) Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and since we have Shukusei no Girlfriend announced with magical girl in the VN along with Samurai Vandalism release, I decided to just change 'Samurai' into 'Magical Girl' in the latter so we have 'Magical Girl Vandalism' as the title. As for this week, while we have many new announcement, I can say that in the end those new announcements are kind of plain. We also have the releases, although compared to the last week I did find those are less interesting. Overall, I suppose this week is a below average one, and let's see what I can write in regard of it. Cherry Kiss has sudden release back on 25th, and said release is unsurprisingly another nukige called License to Breed with the premise is the MC who is from the branch family of a prestigious family come back to his hometown with his late grandfather gave the authority to the MC to breed in his hometown, which the MC will make full use of the authority to have sex with any female for the sake of increasing the birth number. Speaking of nukige, Shiravune announced Tenioha feat. Mami in that the MC will have a lot of sex with Mami who is the big sister from one of the heroine in the previous work. What I can comment is that I remember Tenioha is a nukige that has the translator removed one of the route, which is quite understandable because it's trap route with the MC will do BL sex with said trap. No exact release date from Shiravune, but they announce that they'll release it in between October to December later. Frontwing released Aikagi After Days, and with August is almost ended I suppose we may as well think that Sharin release is impossible to do with the remaining days. In Aikagi After Days, what I can see is that the MC will spent more days with his girlfriend in summer, and they'll have a lot of sweet time. Not quite interesting to me, and I hope sometimes Frontwing can release bigger title from the developer, like Amakano. Still, have fun if you're interested with it and been wanting to play it. We have another new title from Shiravune, and said title is the aforementioned Shukusei no Girlfriend with the MC have the chance to be a couple with the popular girl in his class who turned out to be the magical girl after she save the MC. For the release estimation, it's the same as Tenioha. Kagura Game released Samurai Vandalism, and from what I see it's usual RPG Maker game with the developer do their best to refine the production value, so at least it might be good gameplay VN on it's own. Shinzou Translations released Memolily, and it's about a story where Yuta met with a nameless girl that he'll call Lily with Lily open her heart to Yuta. I can only say that it's quite underrated VN, and feel free to get it if you're interested. For the rest of fan translation updates, we have Tsuma Netori is at 70% translated, H2O is almost finished with QC work with the current progress is at 92.8% in QC, ChuSingura is at 30.76% translated, Akagoei FD is at 96.55% edited along with 57.47% in QA, Akagei 3 is at 47.6% translated, Fate/Extra CCC editing work was past halfway (1343 out of 2499 main scripts) done, and Yosuga no Sora is at 73% TLC-ed along with 60% edited. Lastly, we have Tsui no Sora Remake was past halfway (51%) translated along with 47% edited. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.

Visual Novel Translation Status (06/08/2023) Because we have White Album release, I'd make a parody of Wild Arms remake (Wild Arms Alter Code: F) by changing 'Wild Arms' into 'White Album' simply because both series have same initial (WA). Anyway welcome to this week VNTS Review, and as for this week I guess I'll just say that this is quite an average one with Shiravune has some updates to note. Another thing to note is Kagi o Kakushita Kago no Tori (Shortened as Kagitori) release, which to say has some things to talk about. Lastly we obviously still has regular updates from fan translation, and let's see what I can write in regard of it. The publisher decided to released Kagitori suddenly back in last Friday, and as expected they didn't have the sex scenes translated. Apparently the publisher is still new and Japanese native who didn't understand English, causing some questionable translation choice. From what I see in Steam discussion, it seems publisher also quite clueless when it come to release 18+ patch outside Steam, because they got the info that Valve immediately ban the company for doing so, which seems to be farfetched even with Steam randomly ban several VNs. In any case, it's too bad that it seems Cabbit didn't have enough money to go to proper VN publisher to localize their VN, so their works are always ended up localized by shady publisher. Oh yes, for the premise it's about the MC who decided to try prove the innocence of the cute girl that was accused of murder, and so the MC decided to live together with the suspect. Feel free to try Kagitori if you can get past the translation problem and 18+ contents removal. This week we see yet another ChuSingura update, with the current progress is reached 30% mark (30.14%) translated. Other than that, we also have Tsuma Netori is at 55% translated, H2O is past halfway (50.4%) in QC, 1083 out of 2499 main scripts of Fate/Extra CCC are edited, Akagoei FD is past 80% mark (85.06%) edited along with past 40% mark (40.23%) in QC, and Akagoei 3 is past 40% mark (40.07%) translated. That's all for this week fan translation updates. For some reasons, Aksys decided to delay Norn9 FD release for a week, from initially will be released on 24th to the new release date on 31st later. Speaking of announcing exact release date, we also have both Frontwing and JAST announced it, with Frontwing will release Aikagi After Days on 25th later and JAST will release Gears of Dragoon 2 on September 28th. Sekai finally manage to release Hoshimemo FD, and well I have no much to say other than it's redundant release unless you prefer new HD graphic, although at least Sekai's backlog is decreasing. Speaking of redundant, Shiravune announced they'll release Taimanin Asagi on Q4 of this year (Between October to December), and they already set the Steam store for it, which really telling on how clueless Kagitori publisher is seeing that Asagi has a number of sex scene. Oh yes, we already have this translated for several years, although Shiravune version may have better translation. Last but not the least, we have White Album release, which should be mentioned that it's not really the prequel of well received White Album 2 even though it was set in the same setting. For the premise, in here we have the MC Touya who is already university student and has his girlfriend Yuki being an idol that currently starting to become very popular. However there's a problem with it, namely Yuki being popular put some strain in her and Touya relationship. As the result, Touya can ended up with the other heroines beside Yuki. While it sounds like it could lead to drama like in WA2, in the end it's not much seeing that WA is part dating sim. Also this is actually the backport for PS3 remake, so don't expect the sex scenes in here (The one that had sex scenes is 1998 version), although it has new heroine route to make up the loss anyway. Go get White Album if you're interested with it (Just don't expect WA2 drama), and have fun. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.

Visual Novel Translation Status (30/07/2023) Welcome to this week week VNTS Review, and for this week since we have Venus Blood Gaia release, I changed 'Gaia' into 'Persona' simply because in Gaia we have Tarot Motif, which if we know Persona series is the category of personae (Plural form of persona) that the player could get. Although there won't be personae in Venus Blood though as interesting as it is, but instead the player will insert Persona Arcana and Shadow Arcana to the general unit. Anyway for this week, let's just say that we have a number of releases compared to the last week, so in theory this should be an interesting week. That said, my interest here is only toward Gaia release in which it's still has interesting gameplay. Overall, this week here is more or less another above average one, and let's see what I can write in regard of it. Frontwing released PC version of Chronos Rebellion, which as we know is their failed Grisaia gacha. From what I see at least there's some original story in it, and the art is still nice looking. Go get Chronos Rebellion if you want to see more Grisaia even after the trilogy and Phantom Trigger eight-parter, and have fun. We also have Radiant Tale otome VN release, and from what I see it's about the female MC who work in an unsuccessful circus troupe (Or rather an organization called CIRCUS) wishing for their next performance to be successful. Unfortunately though, Idea Factory here is not making the PC version of this so you can only play it on console (Switch). Go get it though if you have Switch and been waiting for this. Cherry Kiss released their nukige (The one that parodied Super Smash Bros), and well feel free to play it if you interested with the nukige. Speaking about nukige, Shiravune just announced they'll release the third game of their sadistic nurse nukige (Nope Nope Nope Nope Nurse), which tell the story about the poor male who got intensive care in a hospital full of sadist nurses. Not my taste, but at least it has some veteran eroge VA. Oh yes, it'll be released on October 13th later in case you wonder on when it'll be released. Shiravune also just released Kara no Shoujo (Translated as very non-indicative The Shell) on Steam, with the version is HD version. Once again I still not change my mind that it's redundant release, especially with the patch that can insert Mangagamer translation into HD version on top translated the additional scenes, but at least people can now purchase it on Steam if you find purchasing Japanese version of it is quite bothersome. Some fans apparently like nukige Shabura Rental, and the fans did show their love by released the full translation patch of it. From what I see, Shabura Rental is about the MC who is live in his older sister dormitory and quite lucky that no residences of it are not mind of the MC because they want younger brother. As the MC luck is not ended yet, all of the residences (Including his own sister) are willing to help with the MC sexual need. Go get the VN if you want big breast nukige, and have fun. For the rest of fan translation, we have Shin Koihime Musou is at 67% edited, Akagoei FD is past three quarter (77.01%) edited along with 40.23% in QA, Chu Singura is at 29.88% translated, Tsuma Netori is at halfway translated, Kud Wafter 18+ version is at 43.2% translated, 981 out of 2499 Fate/Extra CCC main scripts are edited, and H2O is at 30.7% in QA. For the last fan translation update, finally we have all of the sex scenes from Aojashin has been translated, so in case you hold back from playing it because the lack of sex scenes now you can do it. While I know that Aojashin sex scenes not in line with what the author want, I still say at least the reader should have the choice to skip the sex scenes instead of just removed it altogether. If anything else, now with Aojashin sex scenes has been restored, at least there shouldn't be any issue if the author want to localize his all age works. Also note that there's some typo in the patch, so the translator will fix it in the future. After several times of delay, finally we have Sugar Sweet Temptation released by Love Lab. For the premise itself, is about the mysterious MC Crow who came into the town after Meru who is the granddaughter of an older baker wishing to the star, and turned out has amnesia. As for Meru, the reason on why she make a wish to the star is because she's need some help after her grandfather injured which render his bakery closed down. Seeing Meru really need help, Crow decided to help with his knowledge of bakery. It should be mentioned that while it has Kirikoi writer and the mystery in regard of Crow's memory, obviously it's far more lighter than Kirikoi. Go get Sugar Sweet Temptation if you've been waiting for it, and have fun. Last but not the least, we have Ninetails manage to release Venus Blood Gaia on time. For the premise, we have the world where it has the Holy Empire that view anything else against their belief as heretic with them will do their best to get rid of it. Our MC Theofrad did work very hard to do the research on the alternative energy called ether, although the Empire did view it as heretic which obviously lead Theofrad to fight against the Empire because the Empire are about to crush Theofrad. As per Venus Blood MC, obviously he'll make good use of the tentacles to get his job done. For the gameplay, unlike in Frontier and Hollow this time we have dungeon defense gameplay with the party tried their best to repel the intruder. While I did initially think that it's not as much interesting as previous translated Venus Blood, in the end it's still an interesting VN on it's own. Go get Gaia if you want to play more Venus Blood, and have fun. That's all for what I can write in regard of this week, and see you next week.
