It’s That Time Again…

Yup, it’s Kouryuu’s birthday and he’s stuck at home instead of flying off to Comiket. He may not be locked in his house translating Koihime this year, but he’d certainly still appreciate you all sending him some motivational bottles of plum wine, or at the very least wishing him a happy birthday. Or maybe getting Kara no Shoujo up to #1 on the weekly ranking for him. And not asking when Deardrops will be done. And turning in your beta reports if you’re working on them. And so on and so on and so on. 😛

Harem Party: A Getting Ready Guide

So, following the positive response to our getting ready post on Conquering the Queen, we’ve decided to whip up another one on Harem Party.

Conquering the Queen: A Getting Ready Guide

With Conquering the Queen’s release coming up, we figured it would be a good idea to let our readers know what they’re getting into before buying. While a land of fantasy and magic awaits, so do darker turns ahead….

Go Go Nippon Locales

With our release of Go Go Nippon coming up soon, we wanted to briefly talk about some of the various locations you’ll be visiting in the game.

Help Support Japan-Buy Eroge!

In light of the recent tragedy that struck Japan, we at MangaGamer as well as our partners in Japan would like to help contribute to the relief efforts and offer our fans and supporters a way to contribute as well.

8.9 Grade Earthquake Hits Japan

"Woman who absolutely refuses to lose to some earthquake", a sketch drawn by Fujimaru during the aftershocks

Last night an 8.9 earthquake, the largest in Japan’s history, struck the east coast, together with tsunamis which caused particularly heavy damage in Sendai (200-300 casualties reported so far). We have received confirmation through twitter that all the members of OVERDRIVE, Circus, Navel, Nexton, and several other eroge companies are safe. However, many of them are suffering property damage to computers and other such objects which have fallen as a result of the quake.

Many are without water and power as the nuclear reactors in Tokyo have been shut down to prevent disaster.

The trains are also down, so many who can not get home are taking shelter with each other in their corporate offices, or the homes of staff who live nearby.

For the most up-to-date information on the staff, please check our twitter feed. You can view a live feed of NHK reporting the disaster here on ustream. For those who want an english feed, you can find NHK World and others here at livestation.

Happy Birthday Kouryuu

Well, Christmas is behind us and it isn’t quite New Year’s yet, and how is our overworked head translator spending his birthday? Panicking at nearly losing one of this bird’s scenes and translating a whole mess of H scenes in Edelweiss. Help cheer him up by leaving some messages of congratulations for him, okay?

I’m just going to leave these here…

Nemu or Kotori?

So, with Da Capo Innocent Finale now well into testing, I thought I’d start by asking the question which seems to consistently divide Da Capo fans everywhere: Nemu or Kotori?

Mangagamer Pride Reminder…

Hey everybody!

So, in most civilised parts of the world, June is Pride month.  While it’s rather odd for a company that’s all about the titty porn to bring up gay rights, it’s something that comes up in our games quite a bit, and usually in a negative light.
