However, the genres here are right up my alley. I looked at the writers and saw that most of them lack credits elsewhere and those that do have prior work didn’t really work on anything noteworthy. In fact, this is their very first visual novel. Now as for the story, it should be mentioned that this is from a relatively new studio, one by the name of RASK. I don’t want to use the term “realistic”, but it’s definitely leaning towards it. It’s definitely different from what we usually see in the medium, but still maintains that distinct “visual novel” look. In fact, I don’t even know how to describe it. What had originally put it on my radar was its unique art style, one that I don’t think I’ve seen before. Now this is one I have only known about for a few months, but I kept thinking about it when making this list, so I decided to include it. If it ever does, I will definitely be looking to review it for the channel. At the time of writing, that fan translation is only 35.4% complete, so we might have to wait another year or two before that finally comes out. It is worth noting that this is the only visual novel on my list that has a fan translation in progress.
As such, I do have some high hopes for the story, especially given that it also comes with the nakige tag. One of the writers, Kai, has also worked on several previous Key works, including my all-time favorite Clannad. Spread between them is Hatsukoi 1/1, Hatsuyuki Sakura, Majo Koi Nikki, and Hoshi Ori Yume Mirai, all of which I know have been received positively. I can see some having issues with that, but it honestly doesn’t bother me, so long as the story is good.Īnd speaking of story, while I didn’t recognize any of the scenario writers by name, I do know of some of their previous works. A sort of “modern” art style if you would. From what I’ve seen, the art style is a definite departure for the studio and looks more in-line with what I’d expect from a visual novel released in the past five years or so. As such, it’s pretty much a given that I would include Summer Pockets here, the latest release by Key, having come out around this time last year. If you’ve watched any of my previous visual novel videos, you’ll know that I am a massive Key fan.
