Hirameki had better translations than a lot of MangaGamer's stuff, but they fucked up their games by removing all the H along with crucial scenes, and they released a lot of their games on a horrible DVD format rather than PC.

The only games they had that were worth buying were Ever17 (they had to close before they could license the rest of the infinity games. KID going bankrupt didn't help) and Phantom of the Inferno.

[Anonymous No.]

From VNDB

"Description

Tsuyokiss is about the lives of a group of fictional high school students and the often comedic events that occur in their lives. The main protagonist is an average boy named Leo Tsushima who is secretly in love with the eldest daughter of the Kiriya Corporation and who is the student council president - Erika Kiriya.

Later, a senior female student, Otome Kurogane, knocks out several of the main characters one day when they are trying to sneak into school after being late. Surprisingly, it turns out that she is Leo’s beloved cousin that he had not seen for years. Suddenly, Otome decides to move in to the same house as Leo, whose mediocre life is changing into something a bit more exciting."

That sounds pretty generic to me.

MangaGamer has the rights to more games with anime adaptions then Jast (not that I can think of any Jast with anything besides an H adaption), and it will be interesting to see how well these games with an established western fanbase do.

I was too busy playing I'MFAMOUS to bother wasting my time on /jp/ and now I find out Mangagamer is not only still alive but released KiraKira, as well... just a day before [Prototype］ comes in the mail. Oh boy...

Pic related as Mangagamer looked like it was in trouble.

Nomad is listed, best game is 淫烙の巫女 with a 60 on EroGameScape

Checking other companies now

Just how many copies of these games is Manga selling if they're able to license so many games? They must be doing pretty well to be churning out so many games so quickly.

Does anyone have an idea of what their sales figures are like?

Portion has one game on ErogeGameScape, オリオンハート 淫辱のスク水セーラー戦士 with a score of 50
Lusterise has a couple titles with 70
Can't find anything on Unidam
The bottom stuff I think are investments or something, can't find much about them.
Hobibox seems to have relations with other VN companies, such as SkyFish.
Not sure what the text on the far right is.

They turn them out so quickly because there's no editing or QC at all.

Ouch

Something of much importance though, Higurashi has been confirmed, yet there is no 07Expansion on there.

Uploading it and cracking it for all to enjoy... I think BROFIST did D.C. for us. All subsequent releases were attributed to BROFIST even though Suika was provided by Molester Jim.

I don't think they have releases from all of those planned, but if they do... Damn.

As long as they don't go back to edelweiss translations to save time and pump out games quicker. Probably the only reason why Kirakira was decently done was because so many people bitched about edelweiss. Even a once-over by a native English speaker would catch most of the stupid shit.

I think some of them are investors, but everything up through Tactics Latte is likely to have at least 1 game.

Suika's translation was fine, and I heard Da Capo's was as well (the version that actually got editing, that is).

Doing more research on Hobibox, what I have found

They own Caramel Box, which is a respectable set of VNs, on EroGameScape they have several titles 75-80 (about the quality of Circus)

Caramel Box has some business relationship with Nitro Plus at some point, probably similar to Type Moon's relationship with them, can't gather much more from translations on the Japanese Wiki.

They either own or have a business relationship with Marron, similar quality, a couple works at 80, a bunch above 75, also a respectable group

Based on demo videos online with copyright attributed to them, they also co-own a bunch of copyright stuff, one example I saw was SkyFish, with a high score of 77, going to see if I can find anything more

It was. I can vouch for this. Just a few typos.

Surprised Liquid is still listed, considering what happened to their games...

I think that list is old, so a surprise announcement wouldn't be too surprising. This is supported with the Higurashi announcement, after all 07Expansion isn't listed.

Stop fucking dreaming, they won't translate it for two reasons:
1) it'd take too long
2) there are loli characters, not borderline characters that can easily pass as 18+
They'll never translate it.

Jast had a great conference, lets see what MangaGamer can pull on the 4th.

Am I the only one who thinks that if they are bringing in all these new customers, their promotional stuff on the site should be all KiraKira, and not the horribly translated Edelweiss.

Jast released just 3 fucking games since this time last year.

Yes.

I'm really astonished that MangaGamer appears to be legit. Its products were so bad I had always assumed it was a scam of some kind.

At the very least, it still seems like they don't have a single real japanese/english translator.
