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:  The annual Spring Purge of VNTS is always a bit controversial, and I can reliably count on a few angry emails from fans whose eagerly anticipated projects were dropped. Well, for those who mourned when we dropped Song of Memories, we have good news:  P-Qube re-announced the game (they’ll be its publishers this time around). So, yeah. Stop sending me emails. (Shout out to the Angel Beats guy who sends me gifs of weeping anime girls each week).

Before getting to the good stuff, I also want to thank everyone for their patience when VNTS was delayed and then cancelled last week. We work hard to get it out each Saturday, but sometimes things go wrong. Thanks for understanding. – Tay

Cons are clear: I miss my family, my car, preposterously unhealthy (and delicious) food, bookstores, and (mostly) sane driving laws. Pros vary by country, but common to all of them is the heavenly, the life-changing, the glorious Cabury Milk Chocolate with Daim candy bars.

Anybody else addicted to these things? They’re expensive. They’re high-calorie. And good lord, they are delicious. Have a good week, everybody![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
