Chou no Doku Hana no Kusari on Switch will get a free English translation update next month!

Chou no Doku Hana no Kusari was originally released on PC in 2011 as an R18 otome game. In 2014 it first got an 17+ version on the PSP and later the PS Vita. The Switch version that was released in 2020 in Japan will now get a free update with the English translation. Coming next month the game should be available on the Eshop wolrdwide with an English text option. Physical copies will also be updated.

This game had once before gotten an English mobile release by Abracadabra Games in 2020. However that release was stripped of all its voice acting and was sold at ridiculous prices (90-120 dollar for all routes without voice acting). Needless to say the mobile version did not survive long and has already shut down.

So yeah this is a big win for the otome community! Finally we get the voiced and properly priced game. If I remember right it was also often asked for in the Manga Gamer surveys.

This may not be the original 18+ version but considering how much Hata has been grinning at the subject, I wouldn't be surprised if something is done about that as we speak heh.

 

Here is the setting:

Quote

A love tale of light and shadow set in the Taisho era.

Tokyo. The year is 1918, a dark age for the world.
In this tale of love and hate, five young men pursue the daughter of an aristocratic family on the verge of ruin.

Yuriko Nomiya, born and raised comfortably in an aristocratic family, is suddenly struck by a series of misfortunes.

Is this fate brought about by the Taisho era, or is someone plotting against her?
The dark, bittersweet take of Yuriko and five gorgeous men is about to unfold.

I'm so happy about this. Though I wish they can do the English for the 2018 PC one as well...

It's a shame they decided to translate Switch version over PC indeed. Sex scenes were a very important part of this game, especially in Yoshiaki's route aka one of the most (in)famous routes of the game. But it's better than mobile version for sure.

I just hope people will read the warnings before buying this.

it's because they use the translation of the mobile version (and mobile version is the port of the console ver), also protype work for console game so no surprise...
