Just a brief peek at what some of my favorite eroge companies are going to be releasing for Comiket!

First, there’s Yuzusoft. You can check out their Comiket offerings here. Honestly, god damn. Natsuzora Kanata OST? Of course I want it! But the official telecard featuring Ebihara Minase and Hibarigaoka Yuki, as well as the dakimakuras of Chihayakyuu Kousaka and Natsukyuui Kono are…damn. Really, really tempting, to put it lightly. And look! Natsuki has her long hair look! That’s because it’s the only look that suits her!

Then there’s Lump of Sugar’s, which is availabe here. I nearly died from bloodloss the moment the page loaded, so be warned. Mashiro and Ameri I was prepared for, so it was no surprise that they’d have dakimuras, but I wasn’t expecting Ousuki Konome and Shikishima Kururu to be there! Their other goodies were also pretty interesting, to say the least.

Last but not the least is Pallet and their Comiket goodies, available here. Seeing Lulli’s dakimakura almost gave me a heart attack, and even more so when I noticed that her nude shot actually looked like she was enjoying herself. Makes her look HOT TO SAY THE LEAST, AND I WOULD HIT IT WITH NO HESITATION WHATSOEVER pretty…awesome? Also, the telecards look pretty nice.

So there you go! I’ll just update this entry, or make another one, if I find more Comiket offerings from the rest of my favorite eroge companies! Right now though, Yuzusoft’s got what I really want badly. I really want those dakimakuras of Chihaya and Natsuki that NatsuKana OST!

If you’re the kind of people who want to FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT and claim your bishoujo of choice as a pillow cover, well then, here’s your chance! Even better if you’re into Yuzu-soft’s and Lump of Sugar’s bishoujos, because that’s who you (might just) will be picking from and voting for!

Well, admittedly, I’m not into dakimakuras and stuff like that, not because I find the whole thing repulsive and despicable. Far from it, as the art on them makes me really really really want to go out there and get one for myself! Nah, the thing is, if I get into those things then I’m going to have to shell out a shitload of cash, which would obviously hurt my pockets. All the more since I already have things planned in the future for my investments, and spending them on dakimakuras and pillow covers is, while very god awful tempting, something I’m really going to have to miss out on.

Right now, Lump of Sugar’s holding a voting contest as to which character from Tayutama -kiss on my deity- you’d like to see on a pillow cover. You can check out the voting here – as of right now, it’s still a heated deadlock between Ameri and Mashiro! Yumina, Mifuyu, and even loli Mashiro are left eating their dust thanks to the number of votes that they garnered! Also, I find some of the commments hilarious for some reason. (　ﾟ∀ﾟ)o彡゜アメリ！アメリ！(　ﾟ∀ﾟ)o彡゜アメリ！アメリ！

As for Yuzusoft, they’re taking in votes as to which two characters you’d like to see on pillow cases once they hit Comiket this summer! The selection involves the heroines from Braban!, E×E and Natsuzora Kanata! You can find the form here, along with the instructions. Man, if I had to vote for that, I think I’d just go insane instead. That way I don’t have to pick between Nakanoshima Tae, Hibarigaoka Yuki, Kifune Mio, Kono Natsuki and Kousaka Chihaya. I CANNOT BETRAY MY BISHOUJOS, NOR CAN I PICK ONE OVER THE OTHER! On a sidenote, Natsuki’s ぽっ face in the voting is hilarious.

ARGH, SO MANY BISHOUJOS, SO LITTLE CHOICES! Let the war begin! It’s just too bad that there’s no Asuna-senpai (Braban!, voiced by Shizuka Itou), Saya (E×E, voiced by Ishiki Hikaru <3), or Makina-chan (E×E, voiced by Runa Sakaki) in those choices…wait, forget the last one. If Makina-chan was ever included in that option, SHE WOULD PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE AND TIE YOU UP LIKE A WILD BOAR! ちょばーん (obscure reference joke to those who haven’t played E×E yet)！

It’s a bit late, but Happy Birthday Mikage Sumi! Have you greeted her yet? Her birthday was just last week! Talk about being completely freaking late.

I’m talking about Mikage Sumi of course, from Braban!, Yuzusoft’s very first title. In case you missed this title, don’t worry! Yuzusoft was kind enough to release this one along with the release of Natsuzora Kanata. You can even see Ebi trying to make use of Yuki’s tsundere charms to advertise Braban! (and fail at it) over here! Me, I’d go for anything that Hibarigaoka Yuki-sama says, simply because she’s my favorite character out of the entire Braban! cast. I loves me that crazy twintailed tsundere ojousama muchly!

If you want to read up on what Braban!’s all about and what I felt after finishing (most of) the heroines’ routes, you can go and read up on an older entry of mine here. That or you can check out the Related Posts thing below thats right down this entry. Speaking of which, I have got to update that review, along with Miraroma’s and Lyrical Lyric’s…gotta get around to doing that before I come out with my final thoughts on E×E. Which is as soon as I finish Yuu’s route…urgh.

Mikage Sumi is the first character which Miru voiced for Yuzusoft! Well, it’s only logical, since Braban! was their first game. Next came E×E, along with the oh-so-completely awesome and somewhat-but-not-completely detached cool “I can execute game combos in real life” moe Kono Natsuki! Then, there’s Natsuzora Kanata, featuring Sasara Shichijo the green haired bishoujo. All three characters shows just how talented Miru is at being able to give life to completely different characters, since you’ve got the completely shy and timid “don’t bully me please” bishoujo Sumi Mikage and the completely cool and fucking awesome “I can execute game combos in real life” moe Kono Natsuki as two of Miru’s roles. Two characters who are completely different from each other – okay, well, maybe Natsuki shares a bit of insecurity that’s somewhat similar to Sumi, but when it comes to attitude and behavior, they’re totally dissimilar from each other. I can’t say anything about Sasara, though, since I haven’t played through her route yet, but if Miru’s roles and performances in the past is to be any indicator then I’m looking forward to being completely entertained, mesmerized and having a good time.

Hahaha…oh god. Seeing Sumi in that uniform is just…moe. But of course, I still hold Nakanoshima Tae, Hibarigaoka Yuki, Kifune Mio and Kousaka Chihaya in higher regards! My long haired moe bishoujos from Yuzusoft! I wonder, when is Hibarigaoka Yuki-sama’s birthday?

I noticed this a while back while I was playing E×E, during Kono Natsuki’s route (since that’s the only route which features this CG), and I thought it was pretty cute! Anyways…

See the couple behind Natsuki, on the lower left side of the picture? Can you guess who they are?

Yep! They’re none other than Tae Nakanoshima and Jun of Braban! (ぶらばん！). It was rather cute of Yuzusoft to have the two of them make a cameo in E×E.

Speaking of Braban!, Yuzu-soft’s first title, it’ll be re-released at the same time that Natsuzora Kanata (夏空カナタ) is coming out: on May 23! If you missed out on Braban!, then that’s your chance to get it, seeing as it’s a very good game.

I hope someone from E×E or Braban! makes a cameo in Natsuzora Kanata. Here’s to wishful thinking!

If you don’t like spoilers, then you probably wouldn’t want to read this.

Suffice to say, that’s my reaction at the mere mention of the game

Braban! is one game that I’m absolutely glad to have played. The game’s premise is about two brass bands of different schools going against each other in a competition of skill, when they were supposed to have been amalgamated into one band in the first place. The reason for the whole amalgamate was that Akagiyama, which was Jun, Tae and Noriko’s school, was running low on funds in order to maintain the school, as well as with students. So it was decided that Akagiyama’s students be merged with Tsuburuyama, a newer and better school, in order for the students affected by Akagiyama’s closure to be able to continue with their studies. The competition is because Tsuburayama’s music advisor, Jingoro Ogawara, refused to accept the members of Akagiyama’s brass band into his, citing the members of Akagiyama’s ‘ineptness and lack of skill’ as reason enough for them to be unworthy of his guidance and time. Tae, Jun and Noriko of course disagreed with him, telling him that what he’s doing is unfair discrimination and that they should be given an unfair chance. Which led to the whole competition between the two brass bands, since it was already agreed upon by the school board thanks to Ogawara’s prodding.
