A Welcome Change for Clochette
Clochette‘s next title won’t be all balloons! The main illustrator working on Koko Kara Natsu no Innocence! will be Sesena Yau (Timepiece Ensemble, Diamic Days). Other new titles announced this week include:
FrontWing – Hatsuru Koto Naki Mirai Yori
Gummy Soft – Tenkiame (August 28th)
The top finishers in Softhouse-seal GRANDEE’s dakimakura poll for characters illustrated by 2-G are Aki (Zettai Zecchou☆Seiki no Daihatsumei!!), Sara (Zettai Junshu☆Kyousei Kozukuri Kyokashou!!), Charlotte (Zettai Ryouiki☆Sex Royale!!) and Moa (Tensei Kunitori Sex Gassen!!).
SAGA PLANETS has started up a dakimakura poll for Hanasaki until April 23rd. Vote for your favourite outfit for each character (back side). The front side is always the school uniform, except for Nonoka (normal clothes).
Yahho~ Sakura’s birthday is coming up on May 18th. Why not celebrate with her by getting her CD? It only costs ￥2200. The Hanasaki complete soundtrack will be on shelves on June 26th for ￥2500. For ￥2000 more, you can also get a tapestry!
New figures announced this week include:
Max Factory – figma Uzuki Cinderella project ver. (im@s cg, September, ￥5,370)
Milestone – 1/6 scale Natsuha strawberry decoration ver. (Monobeno, July, ￥12,500)
Get your Daito LINE stamps here. C’mon c’mon.
Character1 is just around the corner, so there’s plenty of dakimakura available soon, including Koihime‘s Sui, Amakano‘s Sayuki, Panicon‘s Honoka, Omokage Railback‘s Juri, Clover Day’s‘ Anzu, and a new loli heroine from Lose’s next game. There’s also a big Nonoka summer bath towel!
Panicon was so immensely shallow. Honoka is probably the only reason you should play it. I’m just playing the last few routes in KamiEx, as well as some May trials. Spica in Love Equation is adorable! I’ll gladly help her change every morning!
While You Were Away…
It seems like there’s not much news this week or maybe everyone’s just busy with a certain loli goddess with a blue string…
Release dates have been set for the following:
Akai Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai – July 24th
Sakura Nikagetsu – July 24th
PULLTOP Air’s Natsuiro Recipe has been delayed to May 29th.
The “Watanabe Akio Artworks 1″ book comes out on April 24th, featuring 148 pages of illustrations from Grisaia. It’s priced at ￥2500.

ORCA TOYS – 1/6 scale Tamaki miwaku no twister game ver.HIYAKEATO (TH2, June, ￥13,800)
I’ve spent the past couple days being a lucky sukebe in Panicon. It feels odd playing an Escu:de title that doesn’t have some whacky mini game (the clothes come off on their own!), but Honoka and Teo are so cute that I don’t care about anything else.
Everything for Shinku
FAVORITE is making an after fandisc for Shinku! Akai Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai will be devoted solely to our adorable hotcake-loving translucent magician, with a whispering voice drama and a Shinku stuffed doll as planned bonuses. I can’t wait for this! ^^

I took a day off on Monday to finish Hanasaki Work Spring! in one go. It was pretty long, but I thoroughly enjoyed it! The story wasn’t as deep as Natsunagi, Hatsusaku or Karumaruka, but as a chara-ge, it did its job. While Ayano’s was the strongest route, Hikari and Nonoka are angels~ ^___^ Long live #hikaributts!
April 2015 Eroge Releases
Did you know that it’s been almost 9 years since D.C.II came out? Well, CIRCUS is going back to its best title to provide a canon link between the second and third games, D.C.II Dearest Marriage. BaseSon’s Koihime series also makes a comeback with the first chapter of the retelling Shin Koihime†Eiyuutan. On the RPG front, there’s titles from the usual suspects: ALICESOFT’s Evenicle and Eushully’s Kami no Rhapsody. For something that doesn’t turn back the clock, Purple Software’s Chrono Clock promises to be a good read.
So, April fools joke this year is, that there is no April fools joke, ha, ha. Although compared to most months these days there are a few games that might be worth playing, which says a lot. Always nice to see companies like Circus and BaseSon give up on trying and just whore their characters out over and over.
Playing All Weekend with No Regrets
Iris‘ next title will be Chicchakunai mon! ~School Bus de Omukae Chu Chu♥~. Yellow school buses have never been so popular.

The top 3 in the Second Eroge Reviewer Ranking hosted by Marebito-san were Subahibi, Hoshimemo and Suika. The favourite makers were ALICESOFT, elf, Nitro+ and UnisonShift Blossom. I had a great time listening to it last weekend. All 6 hours of it.
Hanasaki is out! I was thinking of doing Nonoka first, but it seems like she’s locked from the beginning, so Hikari it is! #hikaributts
HERO = H + ERO

I played a trio of RPG trials this week: Evenicle, Kami no Rhapsody and Kagura Kaentan. Evenicle was the most attractive to me out of them. It had plenty of comedy and ecchi, wasn’t hard to learn the system, and made me want to play the full game. I’d easily rank it as one of my top picks for the month.
There’s still a week till #hikaributts, so I’m gonna waste some time playing KamiEx while trying to recover from this awful cold.
Encore! Encore!

You have until May 31st to preorder the dakimakura of Koisex‘s Kotone.
There’s still another two weeks until #hikaributts, so I’m getting a head start on April trials after finishing Tearstilla, which had nice characters, although neither the story nor character development was deep at all. First up is Chrono Clock and I’m already smitten by ultra-shy kouhai Miu >w<
It’s also White Day tomorrow, so there’s plenty of voice clips and wallpapers available.
