NekoNyan has announced plans for six upcoming titles at Anime Weekend Atlanta (AWA-con) 2025, despite initially teasing only five of them on their Discord server. One of them will likely come as a big surprise. In addition, they’ve updated us on the release window of some of their more anticipated visual novels.
New Announcements
Fans of IxSHE Tell and Home Sweet Homecoming (E School Life) will be pleased to find that more Hooksoft titles will be on offer. And while it seems quite different from Sickly Days and Summer Traces, there’s another title in the countryside with a sister heroine on the upcoming list. NekoNyan has also managed to secure a license from a surprising developer, where there has been significant fan interest but no official releases so far.
For those concerned about the H-scenes, NekoNyan has confirmed that all of the new announcements made at Awacon 2026 will be fully demosaiced.
Please note: At the time of writing, we have not been provided official descriptions. These may be later updated. The current versions are based on the developer websites, store pages, and other information sources using an approximate translation.
Koiama: Spoil Me Sweet / Koi ni wa Amae ga Hitsuyou Desu by Hooksoft
Kento goes on a school trip to a place filled with tourist attractions. He’s not expecting much of interest, even though it’s a trip; His cousin lives there, and it’s not his first visit. But he suddenly gets dragged into chaos caused by a childhood friend, helps an upper-class girl from another school, meets a calculatingly cute local student, and earns respect from a motherly “poster girl” in the shopping district.
It turns into a surprising trip full of new encounters. And as this trip ends, a new love story begins.

Or a sadistic one who can turn sweet? He wants it all.
In Lead or Leash: Which Me Would You Like?, you can experience romances with four heroines with different sides to them.
