Visual Novel News:
JAST USA announced an upcoming English release of Houkago⇒Education! ~Sensei to Hajimeru Miwaku no Lesson~ by Escu:de during their panel at Otakuthon 2024. As normal for visual novels published by JAST, it will be fully uncensored. If it will be released under an English title, it has not been announced at this time.
The story follows Arato Kanata who transfers into a school where all of the students are male. Due to the transfer, he has to take after-school lessons with the beautiful staff of teachers. All of the heroines in this are teachers.
In another JAST USA announcement, Dreamlike Love with Seira (Goshujin-sama, Seira ni Yume Mitai na Icha Love Gohoushi Sasete Itadakemasu ka) by Rubi-sama o Agameru Kai has been announced for an August 24th, 2024 release. It’s a budget-priced visual novel following the story between a maid and master.
The protagonist, Haruto Watari, finishes a day of work. Exhausted, he returns home to find a mess of clutter scattered across the floor, feeling even more fatigued. However, he has no energy or motivation to tidy up and simply collapses into bed, falling asleep instantly. He has an unbelievable dream… In the dream, he becomes the owner of a luxurious Western mansion. Within the mansion of his dreams, there is a beautiful maid named Seira. Her duty is to serve the master— Brewing a delicious cup of black tea or providing comfort to heal the tired soul of the master. A dreamlike and sweet service is about to begin…
Shiravune has announced that Liminal Border Part III (Criminal Border 3rd Offence) by Purple Software will be coming to Steam, Johren and JAST in 2024. This is the third part in the four-part Criminal Border series.
Despite running into plenty of trouble along the way, Itsuki was able to escape his predicament with Kotoko Teshigawara’s help. The gang’s business, based around the digital drug, “Rave,” is close to getting off the ground, and a plan to destroy the Umon-kai is steadily taking shape inside Itsuki’s mind. However, that plan is still far from guaranteed to work, and should the Umon-kai get serious, everything he has worked so hard to build will surely crumble in the face of overwhelming violence. There’s one more way to make certain— Itsuki searches desperately for a counter to the threat he faces. Eventually, despite knowing the risk, he approaches “Meryl Hathaway,” a young girl often seen accompanying Kotoko, and tries to make contact with the overseas syndicate she belongs to. From amidst the trickery and scheming of both organizations, a glimmer of hope emerges. Will Itsuki be able to seize that light?
