Damn Aya, she needed a route

Although J-List has cut stuff before because of loli (X-Change 3) if they were to try that with this, there would be too much backlash. Also, they have had no problems doing loli routes before. For making me type this, 4/10

I'd rather have 6 releases a year than 1000 releases of the shitty quality Mangagamer turn out. They can't even use proper english on their website. I'm totally convinced it's some japanese guys who studied English for a couple of years.

What makes me rage is that the games that are released in shit quality will never see a good quality release, just because there's a "sorta english" one already.

1.) They already patched one of their first two releases, and I am guessing their second will have one as well.
2.) They have hired proofreaders, several according to one of the proofreaders, and the Suika proofreader is someone who has said he is doing all he can to make sure it is great.
3.) Their third game, according to those who brought it, is not as bad quality wise
4.) J-List recent game, Cherry, although there wasn't much in the way of grammar errors, the names used were inconsistent through out translation.
5.) Circus is working to make sure Mangagamer gives their releases a good release.
6.) 24 games a year, even if most are pure porn no plot, we will get some good games because of the companies involved (OVERDRIVE, NEXTON and Circus)
7.) After Princess Waltz and Family Project, J-List doesn't exactly have much coming out that is good or great.

something of relative importance that has been overlooked for Mangagamer, from the repetitiveness Q&A at one of the conventions.

>Q. Which companies? circus, NEXTON, OVERDRIVE? Tarte? But its parent company, Deal, went bankrupt in 2007.
>A. circus, NEXTON and Overwrite have indeed invested in us. So far, only their games are planned, but if everything works well, everything is possible
>circus, NEXTON and Overwrite have indeed invested in us

>>	Anonymous Fri Aug 15 23:12:44 2008 No.1133178 >>1133072 So the companies themselves put money into Mangagamer, so as long as they make some profit, they should continue.
