why exactly 120 yen?  from all the vns that read that one is the weakest that Kataoka wrote imo (to be fair it wasnt even a game itself at the beginning)

 

i like slice of life short stories, reminds me of aria or dubliners.

Hey, its your subjective opinion that matters. If it wasn't, this list would be "the top 5 VNs fo all time according to the parts of fuwanovel that chose the right VN."

Indeed, when it comes to vn's subjectivity is important when you make lists because it's not about which is the objective best but which you enjoyed the most..it doesn't matter if 90% of the people hate it..if you love it then put it on your list and be happy with it, that's what i do

Yes, exactly my point. More people should have this attitude. You shouldn't be afraid of liking the things you like. Be honest about it! Everyone No one will crucify you for it.

1. Sakura Swim

2. Sakura Beach

3. Sakura Santa

4. Sakura Angels

5. Sakura Steam

Sakura games won all the awards. I'll edit it later, it might be better to create separate lists for JP readers and ENG readers.

Yeah. I'm probably gonna do that. Also, I'll never in my entire life ever add a Sakura Game to the best of anything, not even the best fanservice because a hell of a lot of VNs are willing to take the eroge route while these VNs (other than Sakura Swim Club) are just cocktease garbage.

Also, I know this list is a joke, but whenever somebody mentions the Sakura series, I get angry.

[VirginSmasher]

I have now separated the lists into English and Japanese. You guys can now vote 5 VNs onto the Japanese only list.

[Arcadeotic]

JP-only titles time:

 

1. Hoshizora no Memoria ~Eternal Heart~

2. Shiei no Sona-Nyl

3. Miagete Goran, Yozora no Hoshi o

4. Irotoridori no Sekai

5. Koi x Shin Ai Kanojo

Pretty sure you've already voted Miagete and Irotoidori. I'm still including that you can't vote the same VN twice. Other than that, I'll add those other three.

[kingdomcome]

This poll will not be fair. Not until everyone voting has read every single one of these VN's. So I will abstain from voting.

[ChaosRaven]

I think I will keep it at my English votes and abstain from the Japanese ones. I simply haven't read enough Japanese VN's for that yet - the votes would be without worth.

you should definitely need to read sanarara-r then

[Toranth]

Hmm, hard to choose, but I'll go with (Japanese):

5)  Haruka no Aogi, Urawashi no

4)  Air

3)  Rui wa Tomo wo Yobu

2)  ChuSinGuRa 46+1

1)  Giniro

 

Some runners up include:

Kimi to Boku to no Kishi no Hibi, Ouka, Setsuei, Symphonic Rain, something (pretty much anything) from August, Purple, or Caramel Box (especially Yarukibako fandisc's Moonlight Diner short story)... So much good stuff out there.

Air is already translated. Why would you put that on the Japanese list?

Because a) I'd forgotten, and b) now that you mention it, I remember being rather contemptuous of the translation.  But if you wanted to put it into the English list as a vote, fine.

There were two translations for Air. Anyways, I'll put it on the English list.

yea maybe, i think i might have read some of it years ago, seems familiar. 

[Keaton]

This poll is stupid. Whats the point of this if everyone hasn't read each visual novel?
