This week’s header image comes from one of our four releases: Dal Segno (Check it out on MangaGamer).
VNTS (Visual Novel Translation Status Updates Series) is published each Saturday and brings the latest updates from VN translation projects — both licensed and by fans — from around the net. If you find any errors, or you think a project is missing from this list, please let us know in the comments.
From The Team: It’s Anime Expo weekend, and while we usually delay VNTS until after all of the companies have made their announcements, such will not be the case this year as most panels are on Sunday/Monday. Consequently, keep your eyes peeled for big VN announcements on Twitter. There’s always money in the banana stand announcements at AX. – Tay

Zakabox™ 「This is the place where Zaka occasionally shares his wisdom. Will he show up this week? Will he have anything to say? Only time will tell.」
TAYsteful Thoughts™By way of logistics, please be aware that many of the MangaGamer updates are actually last week’s news, which we simply missed. Apologies for that! In talking with some readers this week, I got the impression that a recap of all released games in the first half of 2017 would be helpful. Is this something y’all want?
Looking forward to seeing what comes out of AX 2017. Also looking forward to turning off notifications for the Twitter app on literally every device I own. I love you guys, but the retweeting is strong with this community. Other than that, it’s going to be great. Have a good week, everybody!
Dal Segno: Da Cappo with a different package!
now we have all-year-long summer instead of sakura, which is still cool!
I haven’t read any Da Capo, what sort of story is DS? Is it any good?
I’ll probably pick Dal Segno soon up, I’m always crawing for more cheerful slice of life vns.
Ame and Io look adorable <3
This week VNTS Review from mine, and I also look forward to AX announcement later. Enjoy.

By the way, quite surprising that Chuable Soft was declared bankruptcy, which mean that they probably ask Mangagamer at last AX to join with them in regard of their future. Just my speculation here, so I might be wrong.
Really? That’s pretty harsh, I didn’t expect that. I wonder if MG will still try to make a move for one of their other titles like Haretaka which was pretty well received a few years ago.
I’m glad Dal Segno finally sees the light of day. This is one of those titles that MangaGamer’s updates implied was really close to release a long time ago.
A recap of the first half of 2017 would be interesting – maybe include anything that changed from when the games were initially released. For example – this game got an updated translation, that game has a second part that is delayed because they had to switch translators, etc.
So far, I’m seeing pretty low quality translation in DS. Lots of obvious spelling errors and such. But I love Circus VNs!
One thing I definitely noticed is that no one who knows how to actually use commas touched that script, lol.
They divide up their supply of commas unevenly among the staff. Some folks end up with a surplus of commas and use them everywhere. And some end up without any commas at all to use. It is a problem that affects their blog posts as well as their games.
FYI, mangagamer secret project #2-4 already revealed
#2 Evenicle by Alicesoft
#3 Magical Marriage Lunatics by MoonStone
#4 The Most Forbidden Love in the World by Hermit
Aiyoku’s been picked up again? PogChamp gentlemen!
