VNDBReview

Wow, there are as many as six masterpieces this month - Aster , Kira☆Kira , Sekai de Ichiban Dame na Koi , Sekien no Inganock -What a Beautiful People- , Soshite Ashita no Sekai yori , Demon Parasite ~Akuma no You na Tenshi no Kanojo~ . I'm choosing the last one as VN of the Month, and will explain this choice in its review.

Boku ga Sadame Kimi ni wa Tsubasa o. 僕がサダメ　君には翼を。[Akatsuki Works]

June 21, 2020

•

Foreword: Akatsuki Works first game can't be missed.

Xvain エクスヴァイン ~Devil Out~ [Studio e.go!]

June 19, 2020

•

Foreword: Why is there only like two Japanese reviews for a game with this classy setting? The Japanese must have overlooked another great game, and I'm restoring it to due glory. Or so I thought.

VN of the Month October 2007 - Boku ga Sadame Kimi ni wa Tsubasa o.

June 17, 2020

•

Boku ga Sadame Kimi ni wa Tsubasa o. is VN of the Month. I'm reviewing it as well as Xvain ~Devil Out~. There is another masterpiece this month - Happy Margaret!

Tsurugi Otome Noah 剣乙女ノア [Tail Wind]

June 15, 2020

•

Foreword: It's the only fantasy battle game of the month, so it's a natural choice to play.

8665^2 Haruruko no Jijou 8665^2 ハルルコのジジョウ [Rune]

June 11, 2020

•

Foreword: There have been a lot of H parodies of Haruhi Suzumia, but this one seems to be a mild absurdist parody developing on the themes of the anime. Or do I expect too much from a game by Rune?

VN of the Month September 2007 - Tsurugi Otome Noah

June 09, 2020

•

Second month without masterpieces. I'll probably settle with Tsurugi Otome Noah as VN of the Month. Reviewing it, as well as 8665^2 Haruruko no Jijou .

TV no Kieta Hi テレビの消えた日 [Petit KeroQ]

June 07, 2020

•

Foreword: What is Petit KeroQ? Why creating a new brand was needed for this game? Those are the questions I seek answers for.

VN of the Month August 2007 - Ninkyou Hana Otome

June 05, 2020

•

Don't think I can call any game a masterpiece this month. I'd choose Ninkyou Hana Otome as VN of the month. I'll review TV no Kieta Hi.

Bullet Butlers [Propeller]

June 03, 2020

•

Foreword: There are so many superb English reviews (1 2 3 4 5 6) that it's already evident how great this game is. I'll only try to consider if flaws are big enough to prevent from playing.

VN of the Month July 2007 - Bullet Butlers

June 01, 2020

•

Bullet Butlers is the only masterpiece this month. Oh, and I can't stand Little Busters!.

Reconquista レコンキスタ [Cotton Soft]

May 30, 2020

•

Foreword: Cotton Soft debut work Natsumegu did not snatch stars from the sky, but Reconquista seems to have a totally different, serious approach and thus arouses interest.

Koisuru Otome to Shugo no Tate - 恋する乙女と守護の楯 The Code Name is Shield 9 [AXL]

May 26, 2020

•

Foreword: It seems to be one of most popular games of AXL with multiple console releases and even almost full translation, such game just can't be missed.

ExE エグゼ [Yuzusoft]

May 21, 2020

•

Foreword: I'm not sure scenario author of Braban can provide a worthy chunige, but I'm ready to be surprised.

VN of the Month June 2007 - Reconquista

May 18, 2020

•

I'll review Koisuru Otome to Shugo no Tate - The Code Name is "Shield 9" , Reconquista and ExE.

Draculius ドラクリウス [Meromero Cute]

May 16, 2020

•

Foreword: Vampire stories fail to impress way too often. Tsukihime, Hellsing and Masquerade are the only positive examples I can remember. I would not mind trust reinstalled with some new title.

VN of the Month May 2007 - Draculius

May 14, 2020

•

Draculius is VN of the Month. There are several other games with high scores, but I'm not ready to vouch for any of them.

Zwei Worter [Clock Up team Dyo]

May 12, 2020

•

Foreword: Clock Up team Dyo creates pretty conventional SF games unlike its older brother, so Zwei Worter is a good time to get acquainted with it to get ready for Rune Lord.

VN of the Month April 2007 - Zwei Worter

May 10, 2020

•

I only consider Zwei Worter a masterpiece in April.

Shirogane no Soleil -Successor of Wyrd- Unmei no Keishousha 白銀のソレイユ－Successor of Wyrd－ <運命の継承者> [SkyFish]

May 07, 2020

•

Foreword: After these two great reviews (1 2) I could not miss the birth of this multiverse.

VN of the Month March 2007 - Shirogane no Soleil -Successor of Wyrd- <>

May 02, 2020

•

Shirogane no Soleil -Successor of Wyrd- <> is the only masterpiece of the month.

Utsurigi Nanakoi Tenkiame うつりぎ七恋天気あめ [Caramel Box]

April 29, 2020

•

Foreword: Caramel Box is loved by me for rich in detail worlds, so I'm approaching Utsurigi Nanakoi Tenkiame with high degree of skepticism as this is just a story of seven school wonders written by four different writers. But Caramel Box is full of surprises. Can it redeem even this setting?

VN of the Month February 2007 - Utsurigi Nanakoi Tenkiame

April 26, 2020

•

Utsurigi Nanakoi Tenkiame can be called VN of the Month, but I'll decide whether it's a masterpiece or not in the review.

Moshimo Ashita ga Hare Naraba もしも明日が晴れならば [Palette]

April 24, 2020

•

Review 2006

Foreword: I see girls crying as disgusting, so I'm ill-suited for reviewing nakige - checking out different reviews might be a better idea (1 2 3 4 5 6). However, Dear My Friend by the same scenario writer and artist left a lasting impression on me, so I don't mind checking their new work that even contains fantasy elements. There are several heroines who don't cry all the time, anyway.

Itsuka, Todoku, Ano Sora ni. いつか、届く、あの空に。 [Lump of Sugar]

April 21, 2020

•

Foreword: All the previous complex meta-textual intellectual novels got the highest score from me. Itsuka, Todoku, Ano Sora ni is exactly this kind of novel. So... is it 10/10 for me as well?

Gekkou no Carnevale 月光のカルネヴァーレ [Nitroplus]

April 15, 2020

•

Foreword: Year 2006 had like only three chunige, so I'm starved for any action by now. But there are great reviews out there (1 2 3 4), so I can give just personal impression and be done with it.

VN of the Month January 2007 - Itsuka, Todoku, Ano Sora ni.

April 12, 2020

•

Wow, seriously, every unblocked game this month already has an English review. Finally there's a good coverage and less work for me. Anyway, VN of the Month is Itsuka, Todoku, Ano Sora ni. Gekkou no Carnevale, Hotel Dusk: Room 215 are masterpieces. I'm reviewing first two games. Games with active gameplay like Koihime Musou aren't considered.

VN of the Year 2006 and POLL for EXTRA review

April 10, 2020

•

VN of the Year

Year 2006 did not bring any full 10/10 masterpieces, sadly. There were few chunige as well. I already see that year 2007 offers a much wider diversity, so placing great hopes on it. New portion of Visual Novel Openings 2006 with songs.

Kimi no Koe ga Kikoeru キミの声がきこえる [AXL]

April 08, 2020

•

Review 2006

Foreword: Unlike Hidamari this AXL work has no superficial elements, so I'm starting it with heavy heart. Can AXL pull it out with a SOL story?

VN of the Month December 2006 - Kimi no Koe ga Kikoeru

April 06, 2020

•

VN of the Month 2006

Kimi no Koe ga Kikoeru is the VN of the Month, and I'll state my position in the review of it. ef - a fairy tale of the two. makes the second masterpiece. And no, Edelweiss is NOT a masterpiece - it's one of the most stupid games I ever played.
