Five — yes, you read that right — FIVE releases this week! What are you doing reading this intro? Go! Go down to the green entries! Click the links! Get the patches! Oh — and thank the teams who have worked so hard to make and release these patches!
Anyway! Welcome to our weekly VNTS (Visual Novel Translation Status) series, in which we track visual novel translation updates in-house (we don’t rely on /jp/ posts on 4ch, for example) and post it for your enlightenment and enjoyment each Saturday. If you find any errors, or you think a project is missing from this list, please let me know in the comments. Any new updates are marked by orange text.
The Short Version:
Only the New Stuff
- Code: Realize ~Guardian of Rebirth~ (Otome) – Released on PS Vita! (Link)
- Divine Slice of Life – Adult Version -Released! Get it here: Link.
- Gore Screaming Show – Temporarily on hold. On 10/21 (Weds) CryingWestern posted this explanation: “*At this current time, I’m unable to get in-contact with the translators. So whether they are too busy at the moment is unknown. I will probably know more later. This project has stopped until I can find more or and get in-contact with the others.*”
- HaraKano – Ayana Seno’s Route 100% English Patch Released! Get the patch here: Link. The new patch translates 100% of Ayana’s route, 100% of her epilogue, and has been revised from its initial translation for better flow in English. So, with this, the HaraKano english patch now features the common route, all of Marina’s route (and epilogue) and all of Ayana’s route (and epiloge) in full English.
- Muv-Luv Chronicles 02: TDA01 and Aspiration – Patch release! Get it here: Link. This patch was brought to you by Albedo and his team, so please thank them! The patch contains Muv-Luv Chronicles 02: TDA01 and Aspiration. Wow, what an accomplishment!
- Narcissu 0 (Sekai Project) – TL bump to 9.17%
- Narcissu 3rd (Sekai Project) – TL bump to 62.11%
- Ne no Kami: – TL bump to 37.62%

Zakabox™ Commentary
「」Is Zaka dead, again? Is it possible that Hearthstone finally did him in? Find out next week (… probably) on our weekly VNTS Post Series! – Tay
TAYsteful™ Thoughts
This week’s header image comes all five of this week’s releases. Five releases. That’s pretty dang awesome.
I know this week’s commentary is anemic, but RL can be a party pooper sometimes. Have a good week, everybody.
Hooray for otome! We’re finally getting some official localizations!
Totally agree! And it’s about time, too : )
question:isn’t sekai bringing grisaia to the west?why is it not in the list?and will they release meikyuu and rakuen together or one at a time?
shouldn’t altered fable considered part of the muv luv series?
no trace at all of subahibi and koichoco
so subahibi should have installer issues,ok for now…but what’s holding koichoco?
“so subahibi should have installer issues”
Oh God, not again.
Come on KoiChoco, you can do it…!
ermm . .
about harakano, so there’s only 2 routes fully translated?
how many routes are there?
8 total, including the harem end.
It seems you’ve missed AstralAir’s translation update for the week. It increased from 32,124 / 63,940 (50.24%) to 32,765 / 63,940 (51.24%).
I must’ve just missed their update (I write these on Friday evenings). Thanks for posting it here — we’ve got a lot of AstralAir fans following their progress : )
Rance Quest Magnum went up 1% to 48%. I wonder whats happening with Rance 5D 😡 Also, appreciate the weekly updates!
Besides the 5 releases which are poor imho (I dont play otome cx)
There isnt much action.
Ohwell hope its just a “quiet before storm”
pretty sure octobre 31th will bring over some (exciting) koichoco news
