I see traps =D
wehh?? but the art's still nice though..
"English release are of course fully uncensored"
Uncensored as in uncensored or uncensored as in JAST USA's method of "uncensorship"?
Uncensored as in "god damn there isn't mosaic or altered CGs anywhere".
Completely uncensored.
All censorship was removed, no censorship was added.
The art has even my attention! I'm almost tempted to give it a look, armed with the knowledge that there's a trap to steer clear of (or keep angry, I guess--isn't that how these games work?).
^ In other words: you are the trap.
...Well, fuck.
Sadly you can't "steer clear of" from this trap. See his annoyed expression in the pictures he appears in? He's the main character who is forced to crossdress unwillingly.
omg that trap pic made me cream my boxers.
I saw a giant poster of the third picture at AX. I still lol at the girl in the bottom left.
is this a rage game? or is it following one of those tear inducing game like Heart de Roommate?
It's a rather depressing game...
uncensored ftw! \o/
Hmm, I'd call this an erotic take K-On! if it hadn't preceded it by 2 years.
And if it weren't totally different, and if it would actually feature more than just a tiny bit of ero content.
When I first saw Kon I thought it was from this game but I was wrong.Nice to see another translator company, wonder if well ever see Elf,Clock up,G.J fly the english plane
interesting... :D
Se ve muy padre los graficos de este juego, haber si los busco
yeah, good pics =D, donloading
kirai_sarina_01.jpg
WHY SO SERIOUS?
Meh, no pubes.
pic #9: JoJo reference? LOL
funny how news of this apparently excellent release comes immediately after news of the half-assed and 'localized' (read: butchered) release by JAST..
suck it, Peter.
Funny how JAST (JList) ads have been replaced with MangaGamer ads here...
There are both? Where else would you advertise English language eroge?
Come to think of it, even though this news is late, I'd say it was probably for the best to come at this time. It would have been worse for some people who didn't know about MG to get this news earlier. I mean, it wouldn't be good if they got hyped up by MangaGamer's release of Kira Kira only to get bummed out later on by JAST's censorship of Kazoku Keikaku, you know?
The reason the news is late is because MangaGamer and their parent company all went to the US and didn't get back to us whilst they were there - in retrospect I should have gone ahead with the CG I had, but wasn't sure if I would get anything good back (the non-ero art you see is via their marketing department).
Well either way, it was great timing after that crap with Kazoku Keikaku.
Been waiting for this game to come out in English! I will undoubtly get this. The art is great!
At Otakon, we were selling body pillow covers for Kira Kira, but they just didn't sell, pretty good quality ones too...
On the bright side, the Da Capo merchandise sold well.
I'll attest to the quality of the body pillow cover for Kira Kira. I bought one at Otakon, and now I have to go and buy a body pillow to put it on :)
Heh. I would have bought more D.C. stuff too, if you had it. Hopefully, you'll be able to come back to Otakon next year. For KiraKira, the artwork just doesn't appeal to me. >_>
On the bright side, the Kira Kira game is currently the best selling (by week) game on MangaGamer ever since it was released (going off their "top weekly games chart"
I would have definitely gone for the Kira Kira body pillows. Alas, I'm stuck in Oz so all I could do was cry when I saw the photos of all the nifties that were being sold. Hopefully they'll translate the followup to Kira Kira as well. ><b
I finished this game not too long ago.
Worth every penny despite the lack of quality control.
How would you rate it on a scale of 10?
different person, 9.5/10. Second best commercially translated eroge (behind Ever17)
K-ON! eroge version
Mio is a trap?
i tough the same
maybe you can change her hairstyles with a sharpie while playing lol.
AWESOME! i totally want to get it! lol i hope they post when its out in english :D
It's already released.
MangaGamer is currently higher in my book than JAST now. If MangaGamer can start packaging their games, JAST can die out for all I care.
English Translated AND uncensored eroge strikes back!!
TAKE OFF YOUR PANTS NAO!
It that futanari I see?
No, a trap.
That you play as.
this is relevant to my interests!
Wow, that CG is really professional. I'm really looking forward to this, especially if it's got a story to back it up.
The last thing I played was Saya no Uta and that had a great story. Actually, the sex scenes seemed a little over-the-top ... they're pertinent to the story, but it could also stand alone as an excellent mystery without it. I suppose that's the hallmark of a good Visual Novel.
how long has it been since u last played......
Ever17.
No sex though, afaik; but that's pretty much the hallmark of deepest plot a VN can have.
Hmm, I've heard some good things about it. How does Ever17 compare with the likes of Kanon, Fate/Stay Night, etc.?
Ever17 is simply the best story I've ever read.
I haven't read all of Kanon, but I can say for sure that Ever17 > Fate/stay night.
(It's one of the only two VNs I've rated '10' on vndb (the other being Umineko no Naku Koro ni).)
Very well. It's basically a masterpiece.
Fate/stay night > Ever 17 to me.
Ever17 lacks the excitement that FSN had.
Another recommended English translated VN IMO is Suika. For both translation and story.
(It's also on MangaGamer.com)
