Good and informative stuff as always! And I love your new character sprite/artwork- CeltyFarron did a great job! The Tsukihime news is probably the biggest/most exciting news for me, as I do wanna evenetually expand my Type Moon exposure beyond just having watched the various Fate anime haha.
Also it's really minor so I don't blame you for not noticing/mentioning it but a brief (and ambigous) teaser trailer was released for the upcoming Revue Starlight visual novel. Still not much is known about it other than "El Doroado" being part of the name now, and that it's being made by Frontwing.

Just want to say both MG and JAST had great announcements at Anime Expo that it was quite refreshing and exciting. Hype for more Type-Moon official TLs and with the rumor that the Tsukihime remake is coming to PC, it really shows how far we have come.

I love your new 'news' style lol

You missed such interesting titles as Sentimental Death Loop and Charming Heart (basically it's Thai version of Mojika). Also, there was much more soild release among nukiges than Miel's title - Shabura Rental, for example.

Nice new avatar there.

Anyway, out of all AX announcements, my interest are only with two nukige like VNs that featured magical girl (Ixseal and Liberator), so yeah this year AX is kind of dry seeing that even Sekai seems not to be as energetic with big new title.

To be frank, anyone who pick the new translation of the old project are always subject of drama because the new translator are akin stepped the shoes of the old translator toes, especially with now some people decided to translate Tsui no Sora Remake that as we knew was previously translated by Gambs (His faulty internet persona aside). Anyway, I can only say that I'll just wait and see if the new group can finish the translation (Also Yasuko new art is still cute).

Speaking of drama, there's also a big one related to VNDB changing score, which is because there's an obscure BL FD got several of it's fans give the high vote making it at #4 for a while, so you can see it's major flaw before the mods fix it along with having the VN list initially sorted based on voting numbers. While I think that Bayesian is still better to a degree, seeing that the mod already decided to use the new system, may as well getting used to it.

Tsukihime Remake announcement is obviously redundant because we already have it translated and there's no PC version announcement, although it may change with Japanese PC version of it are announced. Speaking of PC version, turned out that I overestimate Type Moon fans diligence because I still not see the patch that allow people to add Mahoyo Switch translation on PC version, and yes I know that programming is bothersome work (It's still suck though).

For July release, I find two of those are the most interesting to me. The first is Klutzy Cupid in that it's obviously parodied Death Note, although turned out that the spoiler story is more like Bokuten (No love bring suffering stuff thankfully). That aside, it also like 90 Days Fiancee TV series with Tsumugu must find his love within 90 days or his reproduction organ will be malfunction forever. Oh yes, there's some people being disappointed that Masora does not have the route, which mean that turned out some people like Astolfo and Minato lol (Yeah, Masora is the trap best friend character).

Venus Blood Gaia is another successful KS from Ninetails, and obviously it still has tentacles. There's change in gameplay with fully corrupting the heroines won't make them having new sexy costumes like in Frontier and Hollow (Also Yamizome duology), and more importantly you hire the new unit by having the female character laying the egg with you chose the Persona and Shadow Arcana (Yes you didn't read it wrong, because Ninetails tried to use Tarot motif as the equivalent of Medallion/Tactica). I know that it's not for everyone, but feel free to read it if you want more Venus Blood.

For the rest of the releases, Kara no Shoujo is redundant (At least the price is cheaper), Sugar Sweet Temptation is finally released, and nice joke on Cherry Kiss new nukige (The obvious parody of Super Smash Bros Ultimate). For Chronos Rebellion, well I'm sure that at this rate even Grisaia hardcore fans realize that Frontwing has milk it a bit too much.

That's all for what I can write in regard of July news here.

There's a full restoration patch for Hakuchuumu no Aojashin... or have you already covered that?

Tencent's purchase is one of the worst news possible for any VN company. It would be better to go out of business.
