This week’s header image comes from Evenicle, one of this week’s new releases.
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: Figures that right after celebrating two consecutive weeks of updates, we’d go a full month before the next. I can’t apologize enough. Real life has Tay impossibly busy and while I frequently have free weekends, the work week often leaves me too drained to want to do anything. There are signs that Tay’s schedule may be lightening up soon, so hopefully our schedule may become less spotty in the near future.
For this update, a lot of this news is old news, but we wanted to cover everything since the last update. Also, this isn’t listed since it’s not a new translation, but check out Committee of Zero’s PC port of the Chaos;Child translation. It looks pretty sweet. It includes numerous improvements to the original console version.

Muv-Luv / Muv-Luv Alternative for Vita came out while you were away, download and physical. KS backers got their codes already, but won’t get physicals until everything ships in August. Only thing left to translate is photonflowers / photonmelodies.
nobody mention about steins gate patch release?
my mistake, its chaos child…
Mentioned at the top of the post. 🙂
This week VNTS Review, and congratulation that finally we managed to have a proper VNTS here after being busy for almost a month. Hope you’ll enjoy it.

As for this week, I like that we have three big releases (Maitetsu, Chaos Child, and Evenicle) even with the fact that Sekai did the mistake for their release. I’ll look forward for the AX later.
Oh almost forgot to say that the category should be VNTS instead of unknown, so at least it should make the searching easier.
Apparently there’s no VNTS for this week again, so I decided to made another VNTS Review without VNTS itself. Enjoy, and as for AX I think more or less it’s just an average one.

So another week without VNTS I see. In that case here’s my VNTS Review for this week, and I hope that by the next week we’ll gonna have proper VNTS.

Why no VNTS for 4 weeks now? What’s going on guys?
I guess both of Tay and Decay here were quite busy, so that they couldn’t provide VNTS here. Anyway, here’s another VNTS Review from mine and hope you’ll enjoy this.

No VNTS this week again (I still hope that someday it’ll be available though), so I decided to made another VNTS Review here. Hope you’ll enjoy it.

I guess we already know that there’s no VNTS for this week again, so here’s my VNTS Review along with my comment on Otakon. As for Otakon here, I like that Mangagamer managed to get Haretaka here. I hope that you’ll like my VNTS Review here, so enjoy.
