littleshogun Posted March 3, 2023 Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) It's time for Getchu Awards again, even though it's later than usual. The winner for Getchu Awards 2022 here is Hentai Prison, and I'll list top 20 below. Oh yes, as usual you can view the source from this link. 1. Hentai Prison - Qruppo Spoiler -"Tulip Prison" This is where the worst of the worst, the ones deemed "beyond redemption," are locked up. The legendary Ninth Correctional Precinct was an inescapable fortress, constructed on a remote island far out in the open seas. Once upon a time, in the bustling metropolis of Tokyo, there lived an eccentric young man named Minato Shuuichirou. He was infamous among law enforcement as the "Flasher." Shuuichirou absolutely loathed the idea of clothing, and being stark naked was just second nature to him. He was a daredevil who lived life on the edge, never hesitating to put his neck on the line time and time again. Then, one fateful sunny day, his luck ran out, and he was arrested for public indecency and obstruction of justice. In court, he passionately defended his actions, claiming his brazen exhibitions were a form of art. Nonetheless, his arguments landed with a thud, as the bewildered listeners couldn't wrap their heads around such an offbeat perspective. He was ultimately convicted of assaulting a police officer and multiple counts of indecent exposure, earning him a 10-year sentence filled with back-breaking labor. To make matters worse, he was considered "beyond rehabilitation" and banished to the notorious Tulip Prison. Can this daring exhibitionist make it in a prison packed with shady characters? This institution, ominously nicknamed "HENTAI," is anything but a picnic for the unlucky folks stuck inside. 2. Jewelry Hearts Academia -We will wing wonder world- - Cabbage Soft Spoiler "Shine, our Will." Phrygia Royal, Academy of Jewelry, is a place where mysterious gem stone called "The Will (意志 Ishi)" are researched. The main character, Souma Jace, attempts to infiltrate "Diamond Class" as an agent to search for the "Philosopher's Gem Stone" that lies dormant in the academy. But he is assigned to a mysterious new class that called "Pegasus Class". - Souma, a foreign agent who hides his true identity. - Berka, a girl who is only interested in swordship. - Veo, a solitary and loner delinquent who doesn't hang out with anyone. - Mare, a kemonomimi beast who has a rare talent. - Markus, a foreign prince with the worst grades and attitude. - Arianna, the only decent conscience member in the class. The Pegasus Class group is made up of six boys and girls with different purposes and nationalities. They often rebel against each other, but soon find themselves facing a crisis that threatens the world. "The Stone Eaters", a mysterious disaster that threatens to petrify the entire Nova continent. Located on the front lines, they become embroiled in a struggle against the "Medusa," the organization responsible for the disaster. "Let's go, everyone - let's give it everything what we've got!" Will Soma be able to accomplish his mission and able to overcome the threat of petrification that threatens to destroy the continent? An adventure tale of The Wills and bonds that fly across the world - here it shines. 3.

And tonight, someone continues to chase this fable within the streets of Sahoro. "Calling Card: Tonight, I'll be taking the beautiful starry sky of this city. Signed, Phantom Thief Miss Arte." By pure coincidence, our protagonist, Nezu Mikage, happens to be at the scene of Miss Arte's latest stunt. Surprisingly, he deduces that the true identity of Miss Arte is his classmate, the ojou-sama (young lady) Arise Kaguya. "We can't risk the slightest chance of someone finding out. Hence, I'll show you... I'll ensnare your heart and all the feelings it contains." Not wanting her secret to be unveiled, Kaguya attempts to recruit Mikage into the phantom thief group she formed to realize her ambitions, but it doesn't quite go as planned. At one point, the "orphanage" where Mikage grew up is jeopardized. Making her appearance, Miss Arte swiftly and elegantly protects the institution, revealing a hidden "truth" in the process. "So, you're not like the typical thief?" "Exactly. I steal the hearts of those who witness me and leave an indelible impression on them. That's the essence of a kaitou (phantom thief)." "I get it.

While he was listening to the girl that hugged him who claimed to be his childhood friend, the naked shark-like girl from earlier caught up with him. Kyouhei panicked, and when he was trying to escape, the naked shark-like girl pointed at him and said—— "Kuu. Assaulted, this person." The air hardened. The girl who is his childhood friend was taken aback by this, and while she was giving Kyouhei the cold stare, the naked shark-like girl spun a precise word. "Kuu. Assaulted, by, this person."

The characteristic that manifested itself in him is that he “cannot carry over new memories except for one thing he has decided to do. The first time I saw this, I was surprised to learn that the “new” version of the “old” version was not a “new” version. You don’t forget everything. You can only remember one thing. “Finding that one thing… I imagine it’s the only thing you have to accomplish at this school." The protagonist lives a quiet life in a closed school, worrying and hiding the “fetters”…… loneliness of a lifetime in his heart. Then a transfer student, Ren Mikuriya, appears before him. She says, “I don’t want to give up anything. I want to experience the joy of youth here. Then she says, “Because I will die soon.” …… This is a story that questions the meaning of destiny.

Honoo no Oppai Isekai Oppai Maid Gakuen! - Milk Factory Spoiler Spoiler The protagonist loves boobs and maids above all else. He visits a maid café everyday where his childhood friend, Mei, works and dreams about one day becoming a real master while playing a maid themed social game. Suddenly one day, the screen on his phone starts shining. Before they knew it, he, Mei and Mei's mother, Maasa, were transported to another world. They arrived at a bathhouse of a maid academy, where various races learn to become good maids! They encounter nine maids that shake their nice, plump breasts. Soon after, the chairwoman of the maid academy told him that the nine maids he had met at the bathhouse had been cursed by a certain curse and could not serve their masters. They are known as the "Damned Maids". However, the curse of this world does not apply to the protagonist, a visitor from another world, and it turns out that the cursed maids are people who can serve him. The protagonist is begged by the chairwoman to become the master of those girls. To become the master of maids at the maid academy in Fifrecia, the country of maids....this request did not need much thinking to answer. "I'LL DO IT!!" Thus, the protagonist finally became the master he has longed to be. For the cursed maids, as well, the appearance of a master to serve was a long-cherished accomplishment. The maids compete with each other to serve the protagonist with their erotic services. The mothers of the maids also provide support for their daughters, seducing the protagonist with the services of their voluptuous bodies. In addition, when the protagonist arrived in another world, he had acquired an irregular skill, the "dirty service skill". This skill boosts the sincerity and ulterior motives of the maids, and both parents and children serve the protagonist with their dirty services. And so the goal is to win the most prestigious competition in Fifrecia, the "MAID-1 Grand Prix". Who would have thought that these girls, who were abhorred as cursed maids, would gain a master who appeared from another world and later cause a great upheaval in the Grand Prix? The protagonist's sexual battle, led by 10 maids (plus their mothers), including Mei, is now about to begin!

In the end, he succeeds in showing the video to his childhood friend Akinashi Rin, and also discovers her secret hidden behind the mask of an honors student.

Role player: Tororo Shimai no Nenmaku Portrait - Gurigucha LIVE! - AKABEiSOFT2 Spoiler Spoiler One day, I lost something precious. I went to several cosplay events, and took some pictures to satisfy my lust. However, the camera that contained all the pictures was destroyed in an unfortunate accident. Perhaps they didn't want to see my cry anymore, the Yamakake sisters, Sana and Yua, who were involved in the accident, said to me; "Would you like us to cosplay for you instead?" I accepted their offer. Their bodies look lewder than anything that I have ever seen in any erotic manga, and they were willing to be my very own cosplayers!! I put the skills I learned as a fashion student and my hobby of making costumes for dolls to good use, creating costumes for the sisters, and as luck would have it, I was given tickets to the cosplay resort "Costaria", located on a remote island. This was an opportunity for me to get the best portraits in Costaria. However, what awaited me on that island was so much more than I could imagine! "Let's have a different kind of cosplay today." "Erotic role-playing. You'd like that, wouldn't you?" The sisters whispered those words to me.

Indeed, they're all breathtaking, yet there's more to them than meets the eye. They are the elite—S-class beauties. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Saikawa Rin returned to his roots after ages and was apartment hunting when he found Yuunagi-sou. The place was ancient but charming, and the tenants were a sight for sore eyes, so he jumped at the chance to move in. Rin hadn't yet realized that the villa was exclusive to the elite. Little does he know, he is already one of them—an S-class boy. 19. Tomodachi Kara Koibito e - Azarashi Soft Spoiler Our protagonist, Yoshiki Michinaga, works for a game company, Nozarashi Soft. His boss forces him to attend a speed dating event and it is there he gets to know two friends who also happen to be there: Mizore Susukawa, who outside of her day job works as a scenario writer on the side; and Hisagi Amakusa, who balances part time jobs along with her voiceover work. Remarkably, it appears as if Yoshiki and the two women have managed to make friends with people who work in the same industry. As the three continue to hang out more and more, their bonds grow stronger. And it is there that Yoshiki's feelings for "her" begin to change bit by bit. 20. Mahou Senshi FINAL IGNITION - Triangle Spoiler Spoiler It has been several years since the existence of magic, which was thought to be a supernatural power existed only in fantasies, had been accepted as reality. Since then, many things such as Magic Calamities, lurking monsters, the incorporation of magic into scientific civilization, and the existence of another world's civilized society 「Roa」 happened as if the world itself refused to remain at peace. Chaos did not only occur in the world but also in Roa as well. The person who is responsible for the kingdom's security and acts as a symbol of justice is Queen Tearna Lilian Transylveil. However, a person claiming to be Tearna's son from the future of a parallel world has shown up. The son's name is Kiel and his supposed father is Metzer Heinkel, the man who almost achieved world domination and is responsible for the current destruction and chaos but sealed away. Due to Kiel wishing to follow his father's path of evil, many start to be suspicious of Tearna's authority. While Roa's security is shaken, Keel breaks Metzer's seal made by the Mahou Senshi (Magical Warrior) and releases his father. As a result, the feeling of distrust on Tearna grows larger, and the Loan regime is in the dagnger of collapsing. In order to restore peace to both the world and Roa, Tearna once again throws herself into the battlefield as Mahou Senshi Eternal Tear. Of course as usual we have the awards for each categories, and here's the best VNs for each categories. Best Scenario: Hentai Prison Best Game System: Role player: Tororo Shimai no Nenmaku Portrait - Gurigucha LIVE! Best Graphic: Unless Terminalia Best Soundtrack: Jewelry Hearts Academia -We will wing wonder world- Best Movie: Hentai Prison Best Character: Izumi Hiyori from Hamidashi Creative Totsu Best Erotic Contents: Motto! Haramase! Honoo no Oppai Isekai Oppai Maid Gakuen! Well it's interesting to note that both of high rated VNs for both RAW and the translated version are happen to be fandisc, moreso with Aokana EXTRA2 is conveniently available for both sides with it currently has the best average score for translated VN in 2022 on VNDB, although the one who vote for Getchu are apparently prefer Hamidashi Creative Totsu (I still lament on how Sekai decide to release the main game in Chinese language first despite that it make sense from business perspective). Anyway once again I'll try to comment more on this later, but if anything else at least we'll going to have two VNs from top 20 being translated, with another VN is Tsui no Stella that Key already announced the localization of it.

ChaosRaven Posted March 3, 2023 Posted March 3, 2023 First place got what? Hentai Prison?!? Well, it was a weak year... Quote
Nemesis Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) Lol, not sure if you are being sarcastic. Hentai Prison was top 4 in EGS for a while, and is generally considered one of the top VN's of all time in the Japanese side. No Black Sheep Town I'm guessing as it's not being sold in getchu. While still quite far from its golden years, overall, 2022 was a strong year for VN's. Edit: Just to give some more background on how good 2022 was, here is a Japanese Youtuber's review on his top VN's for the year: 5. Tsui no Stella 4. Ihanashi no Majo 3. Aokana Extra 2 2. Mahou Tsukai No Yoru Hidden MVP: Black Sheep Town Honorable Mention: Eve ghost enemies 1. Hentai Prison Hentai Prison and Black Sheep Town tying for 1st. Makes me look forward to Henpri when I get the chance to read it. Edited March 6, 2023 by Nemesis Quote
LAsuka Posted March 6, 2023 Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) You really question the validity of such a list and the tastes of Japanese people when 5 nukiges are on the list, and Tsui no Stella is not. Also, is Hamadachi Creative Totsu such a kamige that it made it so high on the list, despite it being a fandisc - which is usually an excuse for H-scenes. Edited March 6, 2023 by LAsuka Quote
littleshogun Posted March 11, 2023 Author Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) At least there's no re-release like back in 2021 Awards, but it's quite noticeable that the fandisc (Hamidashi Creative Totsu) somehow ending up in top three. Also now that Nemesis mentioned it, I realize that there's no Black Sheep Town in top 20 list despite that it's one of well received VNs released in 2022, although perhaps it may be because there's no sex scenes in it (And that it's not sold in Getchu). For Hentai Prison, well I just say that it better to temper the expectation so that the player won't be disappointed in case it didn't met the high expectation, or else you may have same reaction like the late Conjueror when he reviewed Nukitashi.

It's there, you know. Look at #6. On 3/3/2023 at 7:40 PM, ChaosRaven said: First place got what? Hentai Prison?!? Well, it was a weak year... Honestly, I thought the same thing. I don't know, maybe some of these VNs are actually better than they seem from the descriptions, but so far the only VN from this list I find myself interested in is Tsui no Stella, and only because it's Key.

littleshogun Posted December 30, 2023 Author Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) Here's my very late comment in regard of Getchu 2022 here. Looks like Qruppo did work harder in Hentai Prison so much it has better reception compared to Nukitashi 1 and 2 with both are already well received. The setting for the VN is quite ironic, with the MC was imprisoned for being pervert, which obviously contrasting Nukitashi. As for whether we can see this in English, with how successful Nukitashi 1 on Steam is and we'll going to have Nukitashi 2 available in English in the near future, we may have Shiravune localize this sometimes after Nukitashi 2 release. Let's just say that I want Nekonyan to announce Ambitious Mission, although too bad that reality says otherwise because they need to deal with Floral Flowlove engine port and Kakenuke translation progress, so we may still need to wait until they decided to announce it. Ambitious Mission is about the VN with phantom thief heroine, and it has same writer as Kirikoi so of course it has several reference to Kirikoi. Jewelry Heart seems to be interesting VN, especially with the publisher so far only has Amairo Chocolata (ie Nekopara like VN) as their translated VNs. Shiravune is about to localize Amazing Grace from the same company, although it was stuck in slow review processing by Valve so they have no choice but delay the release up to June 30th later. Anyway, it should be obvious Shiravune has better chance to localize Jewelry Heart compared to Sekai. sprite still forgot to add Music Mode in original EXTRA 2, so Nekonyan still need to use their own engine for English version to have Music Mode. That aside, it's definitely one of well received VN in 2022 even as fandisc, and good to see that Nekonyan manage to get this released back in 2022. Content wise, while as expected it's Misaki after story, it also has some Flying Circus scenes so it should be worth to read if one want to see more Flying Circus. I lamented on how Marmalade keep delaying Study Steady 2, although looking on propeller keep delaying their newest VN for two years suddenly Marmalade delay become reasonable, moreso with them manage to fix the engine problem that plagued first Study Steady. That said, I can only say it's more or less like the first game, I hope that Shiravune localize this, and the summer uniform of the school is very sexy lol. Apparently ASa Project want to make the VN with the MC of Futamata forced to go through two-timing, and thankfully they didn't go School Days for the story and the setting. I just hope that someday Nekonyan license this, although we may need to wait for a while for that to be happen. Looks like Milk Factory know how to write comedy in their big breast VN so at least their VN is always well received, although I still skip it anyway. For Oppai Maid here, with Frontwing localize the first two Milk Factory VNs easy to say they'll probably localize this as well (At least it's better to have Frontwing localize Milk Factory nukige instead of keep struggling with Sharin). Turned out Same Nanokakan has some interesting horror story, which is quite unusual for the company. Then again, some of Cube VN have serious story, so maybe I shouldn't be too surprised here. The VN itself is about the MC who live with the girl who claimed to be shark for a week, and along the way the MC will find out much more buried truth beneath the island where he live. Tsui no Stella has unique release history, in which the fans did release it first in July 2023 before Visual Arts release the official version in October 2023, so the fans has two translation to chose. Anyway, it's about the MC Jude who tasked to deliver Philia to a certain place, and from there both will learn about each other while forming the bond as the family (ie father and daughter relationship). Criminal Border is about the loser MC who dragged down into danger because his erotic AMV that can arouse anyone with his childhood friend want to sell it in the underworld. It's been working on by writer and director of Nine series, so in a way it's normal to expect the story development like Nine even though it take time to get used to the arts. Oh yes, it's available in English thanks to Shiravune, which make Purple Software work with four publishers to bring their VNs into English. Currently, we already have first part available in English and Shiravune just announce the second part, while Purple Software themselves just released the third part. That's all for my belated comment on Getchu Awards 2022. Edited December 26, 2024 by littleshogun Quote
