I was hoping to finish at least Ena route before writing this but got interrupted by Majotabi and probably will be for the next few days. We’ll see if I can finish both Majotabi and Koiimo in the next few weeks ๐
Oh, and Kakenuke Seishun Sparking, English edition by Hikari Fiels/NekoNyan. It’s got original Japanese text and uncensored. Bought from MangaGamer for DRM free experience. Also nice is the original save game can be used as well so I don’t need to ctrl the entire game.
Just in time before the supposed October post date
Current Progress
Still at Ena route. I had some distractions last month and didn’t progress at all until like last week. I hoped I can finish the route quickly this weekend but it didn’t happen. I think I’m at about past half of the route now?
This Month Release
Da Capo 5 and that doujin thing.
The doujin one is a short one so maybe I can get around reading it once I finish Imouto to Kanojo (ha ha)
Next Month and Beyond
October release I’ll be getting includes Nirai Kanai and Otomeki. I forgot about the latter last month but yeah.
I will be getting all Nirai Kanai drama DLCs so this one is kinda expensive. I don’t know if I’ll keep the tapestries.
As for Otomeki, it’s annoying but I’m getting the digital version from Fanza thanks to the included DLC. I hope it’s still the same crappy DRM they’re using. Also I’m getting the dakimakura version while at it just because. Now I think about it, I don’t know if I’ll keep it.
I considered Toilet Hanako but decided not to for my sanity in term of backlog. Maybe if I ever get around finishing my existing backlogs.
As for November and later, the list hasn’t changed much. On November there will be AstralAir. I’m getting just one from Sofmap. I probably will get around getting Iroseka eventually as well.
Tir Na Nog will be on December. This one is just from Amazon. I considered Sofmap but it looks like the digital contents will just be some system voice thing.
There’s nothing else in the pipeline at the moment. That said, Saga Planets should be announcing their next title soon-ish.
Trapezium BD. I’m not quite sure yet where to preorder it from. It’ll probably be either Sofmap if the tapestry is interesting or Rakuten Books for cheap.
Some Azur Lane Stuff. I don’t play it at all but there’s stuff drawn by Ikegami Akane in it. I’ll need to figure out how to get rid the rest of the content…
An-chan sukumizu dakimakura. I’m getting the hajirai one. I also ended up getting the previous one from auction.
I just finished reading Majotabi and will be back to regular erogeing program soon. Starting with Koiimo. I sure hope can finish this by end of this month.
This Month Release
(as in July, not August)
I got Secret Love (Kari) and Select Oblige. Yay more backlogs…
Next Month and Beyond
In addition to the ones I mentioned last month, I ended up preordering Astralair FHD and Niraikanai. And maybe also Mugen no Tir Na Nog. That’s quite a lot for my slow reading speed and existing backlog ๐ฌ
Secret Love (Kari) Haru tapestry from BugBug. Both eroge magazines somehow made tapestry for her. I kinda welcome it. Especially with BugBug, it’s got actual background instead of their usual generic one. It looks like whoever running the web version has better sense than the printed one.
I’ve been considering their stuff for a long while now and they finally made something I really do want. Castoria Berserker tapestry. Life sized and also available in slightly ecchi version and I ended up getting both.
For something more SFW, I bought a bunch of Tenten stuff. There’s beach date version, then more beach date but called Romantic Summer, and lastly tapestry bonus for volume 9. One of them is B1 with double suede material. I sure wish people would just stop making more single suede tapestries…
On a more rare event, I got a pair of deskpad from Mafuyu which apparently is now also Vtuber? The size is correct and their previous ones have stitched edge so I got high hopes for it. We’ll see.
Back to NSFW stuff, new dakimakura from Koutaro. This maker used to make mosaiced stuff (ew) but they came to their sense some years ago and apparently is fine now (at least for dakimakura covers).
Continuing Kisaragi Yuri theme, I got their latest C104 Melonbooks set which has tapestry.
Marmalade made tapestries of some of their old stuff, including this Lycerisious tapestry.
It’s been a rather long time since I last bought anything from kino. In this version the only bunny thing is the ears lol…
There’s some FGO anniversary stuff I’m getting this time. Specifically Tonelico tapestry and acrylic stand and Castoria Summer cap. I’ve been looking for a new cap for a while now so that’s rather handy.
Info on Melonbooks Underwears8 is slowly trickling out. There’s one from Koutaro. And then another one from Takano Yuki.
On other news, Yometan stuff this month is kinda interesting. Dakimakura from Mauve and the accompanying tapestries. And then another one from Karutamo.
New tapestry from Yuizaki Kazuya for Imooka. I don’t play the game (yet?) but I quite like this one.
And then the last one, a new Secret Love tapestry from Core Magazine. I’ll be waiting for it on their official store though as it’s usually got free shipping.
No progress. Yay. I’m currently catching up Majo no Tabitabi novel instead. Currently at vol. 12 (out of 22). This will probably take another month or two.
This Month Release
Nothing.
Next Month and Beyond
I’ll be skipping Nukitashi. I hope it’ll be available later for cheaper (or at least not more expensive). It’s not like I’m lacking in backlog anyway.
I’ve preordered all the Secret Love (Kari), Select Oblige, and Otomeki. Those costed quite a bit.
Info on D.C.5 Plus Happiness is now available. It’s for September this year but there’s no store bonus details yet.
On the other news, I ended up backing the crowdfund version of Clover Memory’s. It’s got backer only DVD so that’s mildly annoying. Especially if it’s getting normal store release later with tapestries and stuff.
And lastly there’s this Kao no Nai Tsuki. It’s also crowdfunded and the game starts from like 18k. I’m not quite sure about this one yet. Maybe once they release more CG and stuff…
Goods Etc
More Takano Yuki tapestry. I think it’ll be a series for next few months? RIP my wallet.
I quite like this Amedama Con tapestry here. Still thinking whether or not I should get it. Maybe I will.
And then lastly (I think), new Uzura-chan tapestry from Ryohka. The online order isn’t up yet. It should be in a few weeks at most. I think.
Still at Koiimo. Or more like I barely progressed at all. I was away for about two weeks and didn’t read any eroges.
I did watch Majo no Tabitabi and liked it quite a lot I’m reading its novel as well though. Elaina is just too good.
This Month Release
Nothing for this month.
Next Month and Beyond
Nothing for next month either.
Nukitashi “remaster” will be out in June. I’m… not quite sure what the plan will be. It may be a rather painful all three stores. Those will cost me 70k. I kinda expect the game itself can be resold for some good value.
On July I will be getting two titles. First one is Secret Love (Kari). It’s probably my first Hooksoft title? The two routes per heroine thing seems mildly interesting. I’ll be fetching all the DLC thing. The only tapestry I vaguely interested in is the limited edition bonus.
And then the Select Oblige. After some consideration I probably will skip Gamers and will limit on just getting drama CDs. I really need to figure out which tapestries I should get rid of.
There will be Otomeki on August. I probably will be getting Getchu and Melonbooks. And that’s it… was what I thought. Then they announced voice drama bonus for DMM download edition. Well fuck. I’m also getting the dakimakura for the memes.
Lastly Circus finally announced R18 edition of D.C.5. No further info yet.
Oh yeah, there’s that Clover Memories. I’ll be getting the normal edition instead of the crowdfunding. Hopefully they’ll come with some actual R18 goods.
Goods Etc
As far as I can tell, there’s only this tapestry from Takanae I’ll be getting. I quite like her expression there.
There’s some interesting Hanasaki tapestries but they’re all ages and quite expensive and I really am out of budget for this year.
Playing Koiimo instead. Yay. It was mainly to decide whether or not I want a second Akane dakimakura cover. I did.
And then I figured I should just go on and finish this. First route is the one that’s not by Chikotam. It was fine if a bit short on the actual story. The remaining of the route is very long though. Most of them is just random fluff. And I still haven’t cleared it yet even though the story was pretty much long done. Unfortunately the 3P didn’t go all the way for sub characters. Makes sense but still a bit sad.
I got even more distracted these past weeks and I don’t know if I can finish this before end of next month.
This Month Release
Unravel Trigger for this month. Or more like today because I ended up delaying off writing this for way too long.
Oh and the Ambitious Mission (Switch) from Sofmap. Not really for the game itself though.
Next Month and Beyond
Select Oblige store bonus info is up. If I’m going with this I’ll probably get the four stores with drama CD bonus and then one extra from Gamers. It’s been ages last I bought anything from Gamers.
On the other news, Nukitashi is getting a “remaster”. Or more like rerelease with some new engine features. I don’t know if I’ll jump into this yet though. Getting all the store bonuses will be a very expensive endeavor. I’ll decide sometime next month maybe.
There’s still no update on Otome Sekai no Arukikata… I wonder if they’re doing all right. Similarly with Glovety’s Mahoutsukai no Hajimekata. Wow now I wrote them in a line I noticed the title is pretty similar.
Goods Etc
Moeoh’s Pan tapestry. It’s a bit hard to justify with it being kinda not quite R18 but I ended up getting it anyway.
Nekorindou’s Tomoo tapestry. Dunno about this but I like her expression and the overall design. My first Tomoo tapestry.
Melonbooks’ Kimishima Ao tapestry. I would’ve gotten the life size one if the background is a bit better. Unfortunately it’s just some generic background so I got the usual B1 size instead.
Ikegami Akane’s Fanbox goods. Too bad it’s all all-ages items but the mug cup is nice. Bought two of each types. Also the tapestry would’ve been nicer if it’s larger. Like B1 large in portrait, showing their full body.
Moeoh’s Takano Yuki tapestry. A second Datenshi tapestry. I think it’s the second one unless I missed something (apparently I did. Twice. Though both being all ages (ish) make them matter a bit less).
My plan of finishing reading Imokano didn’t quite work out ๐ฌ It didn’t help I got some flu for a bit over a week earlier this month.
This Month Release
Whirlpool latest title, Hajiron, is this month! Or more like tomorrow! Yay backlogs! I haven’t even read their previous full price titles (piece series).
Let’s see if I can speed up my reading ๐ค (probably not happening)
Next Month and Beyond
I don’t think there’s much update from last month.
Kocha’s illustration didn’t help. Probably because they both big and one of them has horn.
Goods Etc
Umbrella is back with a new Chikotam tapestry. It’s looking pretty good. A dakimakura of her would be welcome.
There’s nothing else in term of goods which is a good thing since I just wasted some money getting new laptop and the related gadgets.
…for some reason I ended up playing that Imokano above. And I think I’m at like 20% of the first viewpoint. I hoped I can finish it this month but there are a bit too much distractions ๐
This Month Release
Nothing! Also it’s today.
Next Month and Beyond
As mentioned before, I’m getting Hajiron next month. I ended up preordering most of them last month (year) so I can have incorrectly larger budget this year.
There’s Unravel Trigger on March. I think I’ll only be getting from Sofmap.
Another one for March, not really eroge release but I’m getting Anmitsu all ages from Sofmap for the tapestry.
Apart of those, there are only a few more things I’m kind of looking at at the moment. One of them is Madosoft kuwa games’ Select Oblige. I’m so far behind on Madosoft titles so maybe a relatively fresh title would be a good point to start? ๐
The other one is Waffle’s Dokuzetsu something. Mainly just because of it’s Windmill illustrator. More details should come later today.
Lastly there’s Otome Sekai no Arukikata from Orthros. It’s mignon eroge. Also the writer did Otome Domain before. And the trap MC voiced Minato. It’s like a differently themed Otome Domain.
…wait, I just remembered there’s another one. It’s a new title from Glovety. Too bad the illustrator isn’t Kimishima Ao for this one ๐
Goods etc
Comiket and Denkigai happened. I think I planned to make stuff post on it but never gotten around to do so.
In term of stuff preorders, I’m getting tapestries from Koutaro and Shino from one of Melonbooks things. There’s another one from Koutaro but it looks kinda derp (and horns) so I skipped it.
mignon upcoming eroge is getting a tapestry from BugBug. I think I said this before but it sure is nice not having to deal with paper based mail order anymore.
I finally restarted Aokana except I didn’t really manage to get around reading much of it. I just hope I can finish the whole thing before end of New Year vacation…
This Month Release
I said nothing more for this year last month but that ended up being a lie. I ended up getting this. Dunno when I’ll get around to actually read it though.
Next Year Etc
Nothing new here, still the twotitles I mentioned last month. I still need to do additional preorders on the Hajiron but it’ll be on new year due to budget constraint.
Goods Etc
Saga Planets 25th Anniversary goods. Yay. I’m getting Inori dakimakura cover (and repurchasing her older one) and maybe Koyomi life size tapestry. And maybe some other stuff. Also on Saga Planets, Ambitious Mission is getting all ages port. I’m getting Sofmap and WonderGoo.
There’s also Melonbooks new thing. I’m mostly interested in Koutaro stuff as usual.
Looking at previous month’s, I sure was confident ๐ Still need a bit more time, maybe a week-ish.
Next Title
Once done, I think I’ll go back to Aokana and finish the two extras. I plan to redo the original again though because I managed to not apply the extra scenario correctly.
This Month Release
Still nothing! I don’t think there’s anything else new I’m getting this year either.
Next Year
As per mentioned before, there’s Hajimeru Sekai no Risouron. All the DLC as usual. I’m not getting any extra tapestries this time around.
And then the newly announced Unravel trigger. Probably just from Sofmap.
Goods Etc
Kinda considering this DeepOne’s Rosette. I do have some extra DMM points but I can also use them for ero manga in my wishlist…
Otherwise there’s no pre-order or anything like that at the moment.
There may be something from next month’s Denkigai. There’s at least Whirlpool, Makura, and Saga Planets. I just hope I don’t go too far on this year’s already negative budget. Only need to hold out for a bit more.
I was hoping to finish the undisclosed title but I’m still at about a bit over halfway. Yay. I should be able to finish this in two weeks at the latest.
This Month Release
Nothing!
Well, I did get that Seisaku Kanojo thing above. Found one for not stupid price at almost 20k. It’s still quite a lot and the box is slightly damaged and the pen is missing and there’s no store bonus but at least it’s still better than the usual 30k+.
Next Month and Beyond
Whirlpool has announced their upcoming full price title, Hajimeru Sekai no Risouron. Too bad the smallest heroine has got horns which I don’t quite like ๐ฆ
Planned for February next year, it’s still quite a bit away. I should start arranging budget for it.
Goods Etc.
Saga Planets is having some sort of Tsubame Fes. The top left looks like a pillow cover so even just that is interesting lmao. Full lineup coming later today.
Denkigai 2023 Winter will have Saga Planets and Whirlpool. I don’t remember when the last eroge event I went to. I hope they manage to actually do it this time.
Still doing the one undisclosed thing. I kinda hoped to finish it this month but I don’t think that will be possible. Oh well.
This Month Release
Nekonin Spin! Yay. I’m still behind on the original. Just getting one from Sofmap, the complete version.
Next Month and Beyond
There’s still nothing after this month. Maybe Imouto to Kanojo but that can wait.
So, yeah, nothing ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Goods Etc.
I got some extra budget but there isn’t much in sight at the moment. I did end up ordering the Takano Yuki tapestry from last month.
There’s also suddenly a new book from nijiiro-zakura. Not sure what the occasion is but new book is always welcome. Most of the stuff are from Twitter/pixiv and one Tora no Ana and two new drawings? Or at least I think the other one is new and not just me missed it.
Pre-order for Tenshi Souzou Re-Boot OST has been started. I’m getting the one with box just because.
Back to doujinshi (I’m just tracing my spending list here), there’s the latest Ice to Choco book. Usual stuff.
Oh, and the new Pikatto Anime Ambitious Mission tapestries. The Arise Sisters rehashed tapestry didn’t end up happening for some reason and replaced with tapestrified shikishi just like the other two heroines instead. That makes more sense I guess? I bought Yae and both Kaguya tapestries. There sure are a lot of tapestries from this series…
Finished both Ambitious Mission After Episodes. They were overall quite short. More Yae and Kaguya is welcome though.
Then I went on to read some FGO. The summer scenario was quite long and actually took me a whole week to finish.
I’m currently reading some undisclosed eroge and this one shouldn’t take more than four weeks. I think. Maybe.
This Month Release
Oh hey it was few days ago. Anyway, there’s nothing this month.
Next Month and Beyond
As mentioned last month there’s Nekonin Spin for next month.
Apart of that, there’s nothing as of yet. And it’s not like I’ll run out of backlog anytime soon anyway.
Goods Etc.
I ran out of budget for this year. I need to sell anything before I buy anything that’s not of highest priority. That said, the above new An Kua (or whatever her romaji spelling is) from Aku no Onna Kanbu PNM may cost me quite a bit. I literally started this game last year just for her m( ,_,)m I just hope she’s not some Fes limited BS which requires paid gems. I do have quite a few free gems piled up so it’ll be nice if I can get her without spending actual money.
On other news, there’s some new Ambitious Mission tapestries from Pikatto Anime. My curent plan is one newly drawn, one from shikishi, and one different version of Arise sisters. The last one is kind of interesting because I just sold the original version of that mainly because the characters are a bit too small. This new one zoomed in a bit so it should look better (inb4 I sell it again anyway).
There’s also Melonbooks usual monthly tapestries, with the interesting one being Takano Yuki’s.
I should probably get around doing goods post again ๐ There’s comiket a few weeks ago. And then just a bunch of random stuff some of which I shouldn’t have bought but I did anyway and now kinda regretting it. But that’s for another time (if ever).
Finished Hokecho. It’s… okay. The main story was pretty much predictable although the way it’s solved ended up mildly interesting. It just doesn’t have the depth of the previous two.
With that completed, I went on to Ambitious Mission After Episodes. I finished the first one and now on the second one. I’m done with Sharu route which turned out to have more hscenes than I expected.
Back on the first one, it’s a bit short. The Horoko related scenes were quite nice though.
This Month Release
Nothing \o/
Kind of.
Next Month and Beyond
There’s nothing for August either.
Nekonin Spin is coming up in September. I’m getting it from Sofmap. I’m still not quite sure if this is good idea ๐
There’s the Navel old title remake on September as well but I don’t think I’ll be getting it, no.
Mignon latest Ichigo dakimakura cover is very tempting. I may end up getting it although my budget and space doesn’t quite allow it.
Saga Planets as usual (?) will have some new goods this summer which is kind of bad for my budget. The lineup hasn’t been revealed yet but it looks like there will be at least two tapestries I end up getting. Assuming they have the ecchi version, that is. Additionally I sure hope it’ll be available for order from DMM as well because I bought a bit too much DMM points and have no good way to spend them.
Talking about DMM, they’ll be having the goods festa thing. I don’t know if there will be anything else apart of Saga Planets though.
And lastly, somehow Amuse Craft is keeping Rorolog franchise alive and releasing tapestry and voice drama. Apparently the voice drama will be released ahead of time on 28th this month but the tapestry will be available for pre-order on 25th? I initially thought the tapestries will come with voice drama but that doesn’t seem to be the case. I’ll be getting at least the voice drama but I’m not sure about the tapestries just yet.
And then there’s the Mashifoni thing which has been released last Friday. The boxes are mildly interesting although I wish they’re of the same size at least.
Next Month and Beyond
The only thing in my list here is Nekonin Spin planned for September. I may get the dakimakura version this time around. Maybe.
Otherwise nothing else particularly interesting coming up. I think I’ll pass ASa Project for now.
On semi related note I also ended up buying a bunch of nana tapestries.
Oh and talking about budget, Saga Planets 2023 Summer thing is up. I’m getting a bunch of B1 tapestries and then one T-shirt. I’m not getting the Sharu dakimakura though.
All in all, I ended up spending quite a lot more than I should’ve been ๐ At least this motivated me enough to put up more stuff for auction.
I kinda considered Hapymaher and PriministAr remake/rerelease but I figured I’ll just grab them later if I ever get around to actually clear up my existing backlogs.
Next Month and Beyond
Mashifoni Remake and Sana Edition will be released next month. It’s been a long while since Palette last released eroge. Even this one is not quite a new title with both being remake with new some H-scenes for Sana Edition. A full redraw would be fun but it probably doesn’t make business sense. Whether they’ll do any more new full priced eroge titles is still unknown.
In same month Ambitious Mission Episode 2 will also be released. I wonder if there will be more routes than the ones already announced.
There’s nothing for July and later. ASa Project’s Koibana Ren’ai is scheduled for September but I don’t know if I’ll get it at all. All of their titles are backlogged at the moment. I also didn’t help I ended up buying Futamata Ren’ai a few weeks ago thanks to them being available for cheap.
While the lack of upcoming titles is a quite worrying/sad, it also means my backlog isn’t getting much longer…
And lastly, the cover image at the start of this post is from akane ikegami fanbox. It hasn’t been formally announced yet but there’s no way I’m waiting to subscribe there. I just hope it’s not strictly all ages stuff. I also wonder if it means some other changes on her activities. Her doujin side has been inactive for a long while though so we’ll find out soon I guess.
And done with Hatsuyuki Sakura! At a bit over a month, it’s the fastest I read I’ve done in a while.
It sure is popular for a reason. Or many reasons. That said, I think the whole premise is kind of sad if not outright stupid. This sure has one heck of unfortunate MC.
And with this I’ve read all Saga Planets title since Coming x Humming (ใใปโใป)ใ
I may or may not come back again and do their earlier titles. Maybe not.
With the Saga Planets Four Season curse project over, it’s back to finishing sequels. I said Aokana Extras last month but I’m going with Hokecho first instead. I figured I needed to do a quick rerun of the Aokana again due to missing scenes so I just go with the shortest possible one for now.
That said, the one months I spent reading Hatsusaku caused some massive backlog on unrelated stuff so I’ve been slowly catching them up while rereading the “common” route. I could just skip the whole route but I’ve forgotten a lot of it anyway since reading it last year. Also they included new event cg while at it ๐
This Month Release
There’s Yuzu Soft Tenshi Souzou Re-Boot this month. I ended up only getting from one store this time. I’m still not sure about the style change they had.
Next Month and Beyond
No change compared to last month. Except for I finally preordered Mashifoni.
Finished Kisaragi Gold Star. Yay. That was quite something. I can use more detail on the MC backstory though which ended up not being told anywhere. Otherwise the story is relatively simple and overall is fine. It probably didn’t help I’ve seen the pattern before but at least this one didn’t drag out the story for too long and usually straight to the point. Kind of.
Natsuyume Nagisa is still quite a bit more interesting. And also way more confusing along the way.
And so I finally started on Hatsuyuki Sakura… a bit over two weeks ago. At least it’s finally less distraction period and I managed to finish one route already. Or at least I think I finished one route. Or two if I count the initial forced route which has some kind of ending.
Annoyingly the story just keep adding more new questions while also slowly answering some. I don’t know which is faster. I just hope everything clears up by the end…
I wondered if I can finish it on four weeks count but I doubt I’ll make it with just 10 days left ๐
Oh well.
Once this one is done, assuming it’s before end of April, I’ll probably read Aokana Extras next. And then followed by Hokecho.
Once those three done, I’ll need to decide if I want to continue on finishing off sequels (DSIF and Onigyuh) or clearing series which goods I have a bit too many of (Koiimo? Marmalade titles?). It’ll be months away. I’ll decide later ๐คทโโ๏ธ
This Month Release
Unfortunately(?) there’s nothing I’m getting for this month which means I’ll break the eroge purchase streak I have since… December last year. That’s not a very long streak, I guess ๐
Next Month and Beyond
April has Tenshi Souzou – still not planning on anything more than official store.
May and June have Ambitious Mission After Episodes – also mentioned before, it’ll be official store and Sofmap, all preordered.
June will also see Mashifoni (+Sana) which I still haven’t preordered because I just kept wasting money on random things.
And then nothing yet for July onwards.
Other Preorders
Not eroge but I preordered the latest Oregairu game for the OVA. From their official store just because Iroha. Although now I look again I probably should’ve gotten WonderGoo but whatever. I’ll probably not keep it anyway and only keep the blu-ray.
Yometan somehow managed to get a Goto-P R18 tapestry so I preordered one. Along the way I also preordered Tateha tapestry. It’s been a long while since bought anything Tateha.
Due to various other things, I’ve only managed to finish one route since last time. I have a feeling it was the least wacky route.
At any rate, up next is Mikoto and then lastly (or maybe not lastly) Saya.
Once done with this, up next would be finally Hatsuyuki Sakura…
Oh yeah, apparently I wrote fewer distraction last month but that turned out to be a lie ๐
This Month Release
For this month there will be! Sakura no Toki! Finally. Apparently I’m getting from Sofmap in addition to Getchu for this one.
Two out of two months with at least one eroge purchase so far this year. We’ll see if this keeps up.
Next Month and Beyond
Well, looking at next month release clearly shown it’s not going to keep up. I don’t think I’ll be getting anything for March. Suigetsu is mildly interesting but I don’t think I’ll be getting it. Or will I? ๐
April will have Tenshi Souzou. No plan change so far – only from official store and already preordered.
Continuing from May, Ambitious Mission After Episode 2 will be released on June. I’ll most likely be getting from Sofmap and Official store for both. There’s also Mashifoni (+Sana).
…wait, apart of March I do have something for every month until June ๐ค
Other Preorders
I don’t know why I didn’t write it last month but I did end up preordering the upcoming Makulove’s Takano Yuki dakimakura as I mentioned two months ago. And also mentioned there I half regretted not getting the other one but they somehow did some leftover sale and it was there so I ended up fetching that one as well (arrived already). Wheee ๐
Finished Natsuyume Nagisa. It was pretty good. I like the Maki route best… I think? It’s overall one big intertwined thing so there’s really not much point looking at one specific route. That said I didn’t like Ayumu. Something with her just didn’t quite click right with me.
As planned, I’m now at Kisaragi Gold Star. I did manage to finish one route (Ichika) but I’m progressing quite a lot slower than I’d like to.
I’ve done a lot of house cleanups though so there should be fewer distraction for a while. Or at least once I’m done with upcoming system upgrade ๐
This Month Release
There will be Doutei Shimai package release. Well, it’s just a package version of already released title so it’s not a new release.
And that’s about it.
Next Month and Beyond
Somehow Sakura no Toki will be released next month. That’ll be a bit annoying because my current queue is already filled up with quite a lot of other things when I also planned to reread Sakuuta before reading Sakutoki. It means I’ll be behind everyone else (as usual) during the initial read rush.
On other news, I’ve preordered Tenshi Souzou. Just from official store for now. The normal edition one. I need some budget adjustments and I don’t know if I’ll end up getting Amane tapestries as initially planned. I may just get them separately from Suruga-Ya or something later if I still feel like it.
Mashifoni release date has been announced. Unfortunately (or fortunately) the shop bonuses look more like something for console release with Melonbooks’ Miu and Sana dakimakura cover being the only exception. I’ll probably just get the cheapest release I can find.
Other Preorders
There’s… nothing. My latest journey of collecting Koutaro stuff took a good chunk of my budget. Also unrelated PC related purchases. One of these days I’ll write some more posts…
At least it’s on the later part of Ayumi route so I should be able to finish it within next week.
Once done I’ll continue to Kisaragi Gold Star. I definitely won’t make it before the release of Hatsusaku 10th Anniversary ๐ฅฒ
Let’s see how far I can go the remaining of this year. At least I should have plenty of time during the day off on last week this month.
This Month Release
As mentioned above, it’ll be Hatsusaku. And just that. Technically it’s not even this month release as it’s just re-release of same thing from 10 years ago. Hopefully without disc protection like last time.
Next Month and Beyond
January will have Sakura no Toki. Uh, yeah, that’ll totally happen.
Apart of that, there will be the package release of Doutei Shimai. I’m getting two from Sofmap and one from Trader. I think I bought the correct version for each. It wouldn’t be funny if I manage to buy duplicate and miss one.
I also somehow bought the Tsuriotsu box ๐ Yay backlogs…
Meanwhile on Yuzusoft, they finally announced their next title. I’ll probably get some from stores with Amane related bonuses and also official store for the bonus drama CD. It’s still on April so I should have enough time to save up for them.
Other Preorders
Makulove’s upcoming Takano Yuki illustrated dakimakura may be interesting. I’m still half regretting for not getting the other one. Although I think the upcoming one is potentially better.
It’s doujin but Shiromochi Sakura’s Mochiken(?) is getting dakimakura cover. Her stuff is usually balloons so it’s nice seeing something on smaller side for once. It’s probably not for Comiket due to the design.
DMM’s CGF 2022 Winter has started. As usual there’s nothing particularly interesting but I bought the Anmitsu domino stuff (the ones with Yae and Kaguya) and Kaguya card wallet. I’ve been considering card wallet for a while now so it’s just about right.
Saga Planets 2022 Winter has also started. I’m only getting Atena & Kaguya tapestry. Obviously the ecchi ver. Bought on DMM because the shipping is slightly cheaper. On related news, too many Riri stuff and not enough Shiori stuff ๐ฆ
Still on Saga Planets, this Midobeyo is doing another Yae only goods. Thankfully the sizing seems correct this time around. The previous one has Yae a bit too small ๐ข I’ll try getting it from comiket first because it’d be a bit cheaper.
Talking about comiket, I’ll probably go to the event this time around if only just the last day. That’s also if I do manage to get the ticket. I’m not interested in anything particular (well, except the Yae tapestry above) so I’m thinking of just the afternoon ticket.
Although it would be nice if I can get this. It’ll make good addition to my completely SFW stuff collection. Too bad it’s most likely using thin material.
And then also Saga Planets pillow covers and new tapestry. A bunch of them. That said I probably will end up selling some of them. I’ll decide once I finish the game.
Done with Coming x Humming (finally) and thus continuing to Natsuyume Nagisa. This isn’t my first time reading eroge with amnesia MC but not to this extent. The heroines also have their own pretty unique situations. And despite being high school setting, there’s barely any high school thing involved beyond the weird club and questionable student council.
I finished the prologue and currently on Haruka route. While I like Hitsuji design the most I’ll probably do her route second. Followed by Tsukasa and lastly Maki. Sesena Yau design isn’t half bad. In fact, I liked one specific Tsukasa art very long time ago which also put Sesena Yau as one of my very early favorite artists… as far back as 2009.
Only took me 13 years to finally read this ๐
This Month Release
Surprise, I’m getting the ASaProject 15th Anniversary Box ๐ Also Drapri Guu-ta-life Complete Pack.
RIP backlogs…
Next Month and Beyond
Sakutoki next month! Delayed! Well, it’s pretty much as expected.
And thus there’s nothing for me on November unless I change my mind and get Zwei Trigger. And/or Hamidashi.
There’s Hatsusaku on December. Well, it’s just the same old version and I already have a copy of it. I don’t think there’s anything else on December.
Nor January apart of Sakutoki (ha). Or maybe Tsuriotsu?
Oh right, there’s that Mashifoni thing except nothing concrete has been announced so far. There’s no news from Yuzusoft either…
From Tsukuru no Mori (aka Tora no Ana Group). I’ve been avoiding them because it’s usually censored stuff. Including this one.
But hey, exception exists ( ๏พ ใฎ๏พ)a
This is also my first tapestry illustrated by Koutaro. Quite to my liking. The combination of things – face, expression, post, size, etc. Although it would’ve been better uncensored.
One noticeable thing though – there’s some chromatic aberration effect going on here. It seems to be common thing with the illustrator so I suspect it’s intentional (or that’s the how original data is).
The material isn’t specified on the product page but thankfully it’s double suede. The pipe is a bit thin though which is worrying. It’s already a bit bent even. Otherwise the print is rather hard to judge the actual sharpness. It does seem a bit upscaled so that’s unfortunate.
Still on Coming Humming. Wait, that’s almost two months now. I should speed up my reading. Or at least actually read things.
This Month Release
Oh hey today is release day. And I have nothing here.
Next Month and Beyond
Sakutoki in November is still the closest one. I also still haven’t preordered it.
Kind of tempted with Iroseka HD and ASaProject Anniversary Box. But considering I’ll probably never get around to that I’ll pass on for now and maybe check again once I clear up my back logs.
Just announced yesterday, the detail on Hatsusaku Anniversary Box has been announced. Unfortunately there’s no remaster or anything. If I count the old stuff as costing 8k, it’s 10k for tapestry (not specified but better be double suede here), acrylic panel (missing size detail; I expect at least A4 or B5), and voice drama. The voice drama was unexpected but welcome. Everyone is doing ASMR nowadays it seems. That said, it’s still rather expensive overall. I’ll probably still grab it anyway. I nuked all my Saga Planets budget but it should recover on time for its December release.
Lastly, according to Russel’s homepage, there will be soundtrack box or pieces and Unless Terminalia. And then there’s an accompanying tapestry. I don’t know if I’ll get the tapestry but I may get at least the soundtrack. This one is coming up November.
It’s been a lot of blank months and I would’ve done pretty good in term of budgeting and saving had I not finally decide to replace my rather gross 9 years old futons (three layers of them) with a fancy bed. Not fancy in term of appearance but in that it opens up like car trunk/frunk for more storage \o/ I’m expecting a lot from it to free up my room space.
Finished Ambitious Mission. At a bit over a month it’s still too slow. That said, I’m three weeks in to Coming x Humming and I haven’t even finished a single route lol.
Back to Anmitsu, it was pretty fun. Thankfully I picked what I would consider the ideal route orders. Lots of random references were fun especially the Conan and Kindaichi ones. I should’ve kept count on how many variations of ใใฃใกใใใฎๅใซใใใฆ there are. The ability of Sharu is pretty ridiculous as well. Anyone looking for serious story will probably be disappointed but I think this worked pretty well as a gag title. The serious part is relatively well handled as well but I think the whole key thing is a bit too weird. Same with the universe thing. Not to mention they hinted on some story on the other part but it was just left at that. On the brighter side it opens path for fandisk or alternative story or whatever. I’m not holding my breath but more Anmitsu is welcome. Especially more Yae and Kaguya. Also Tsubame and Horoko.
As mentioned above, I’m currently reading Coming x Humming. It was chosen for no particular reason apart of it was chosen at random (like, order by random() on my eroge list table). This will be a very long journey at four whole titles. Once I’m done with this, I’ll have read all modern Saga Planets title. I don’t know if I can handle their earlier titles. I can even barely deal with Coming x Humming artstyle and the earlier ones are even less of my preferences.
This Month Release
Nothing! Yay.
Next Month and Beyond
The closest one is still Sakutoki in November.
And then Palette finally updated the Mashifoni FHD and Sana Edition. Thankfully both are proper eroge so yay. Planned for 2023 so those are still quite far away.
On the other hand, there’s still no news from Yuzusoft…
Back to Kaguya. Another one with her thief costume. This one has got skirt. Still no hat though.
If only she’s got kneesocks…
Otherwise it’s the usual Kaguya goodness. I thought I’d prefer the non-R18 expression on the magazine but looking again, I like her eyes here better. All good, I guess.
Material is double suede. Thankfully no permanent crease which tend to exist on tapestry from Moeoh. The print quality is pretty good as well although I think the source image resolution could be a bit better.
