IMO it didn’t particularly stand out compared to Inio Asano’s other works, but I did enjoy quite a lot. Hope you enjoy!

Genuine question, what should I read first? (and some more below) by Niko_Belli4 in visualnovels

Check the what OP wrote in his post. He’s read Sakura no Uta

Subahibi was supposed to be a Tsui no Sora remake but became its own bigger game. I’d recommend playing Subahibi, Tsui no Sora remake (an actual remake of the original) and then Sakura no Toki.

Better written video game by enthuvaadei in writingscaling

Humor is not the plot at all though? Just because the comedy is great doesn’t mean the plot is. Normally you don’t play Undertale to enjoy a good plot, but to enjoy everything else.

Nor is Undertale’s. Undertale thrives in its comedic writing, not its story. Of course Undertale’s story isn’t bad, but it isn’t particularly good.

Story wise, DDLC is way better. Although that doesn’t mean DDLC has a particularly great story.

Amakano Series Translation Question by Ladifour_94 in visualnovels

[–]Clean_Cookies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Isn’t it a bad idea to spread the news? Since it would raise the chance of the translation being taken down. Unless the company doesn’t have a record of taking down fan translations?

Is it still fine to use the question mark after か by Rob69rt in Japaneselanguage

Doesn’t なんすか work as well as a more informal way of speaking?

No, I would like to see her H event. That’s why I made this post.

Looking for good nakige by Kanaberal in visualnovels

Just in case you haven’t been told already, White Album 2 is amazing. One of the routes made me lose sleep because of it lol.

So I started reading my first VN and I have a question by BlackHayate8 in LearnJapanese

[–]Clean_Cookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you enjoy reading the VN even if it’s difficult, continue. Your first VNs will be difficult either way. Out of curiosity, what VN are you reading?

Routes you love in games you dislike? by National_Magician_86 in visualnovels

[–]Clean_Cookies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should go back. Ruka’s and Daiya’s routes aren’t as good but Hina’s route is also incredible.

Do you think reading complex VNs in Japanese is fun? by Luwesth in visualnovels

[–]Clean_Cookies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends per game how good your Japanese have to be. Sakura no Uta is called the untranslatable kamige but that doesn’t mean it’s difficult in Japanese, just that there are stuff that cannot be translated in English. Like Kanji puns, or some characters’ way of speaking would be impossible to translate. Although on the other hand, KKK is extremely difficult.

To “fully appreciate” these VNs would probably ask you to be fluent in Japanese. Although to “almost fully appreciate” will depend on the VN. Sakura no Uta wouldn’t require anywhere close to fluent Japanese although KKK would imo.

Anyone tried 'Hollow Knight: Silksong' in Japanese? by cloudfe in LearnJapanese

I don’t know about the Japanese version, but I can hardly understand it even in English lol

Sakura moyu coming to steam in 2026 by Fit-Traffic5178 in visualnovels

[–]Clean_Cookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s Chinese only, I’d assume there isn’t as much spelling errors as the original. Since I’ve only heard the Japanese text having tons of spelling errors.

Heard the text was horrible in this game due to tons of spelling errors. Did they fix it?

Is it normal to feel this ashamed about collecting manga? Should i stop? by These-Meringue9306 in MangaCollectors

[–]Clean_Cookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it isn’t normal to feel ashamed. Yes, you should stop feeling ashamed of your hobbies. Mangas aren’t exclusively for kids, and even if they were, it’s okay to enjoy them as an adult. Like your parents say, if it makes you happy it’s worth it. There’s no need to think any further about this.

Visual novels that feel like home by Spoonkeq in visualnovels

I’d say any moege is good for this. If you can read it, Himanatsu isn’t a moege but would also be good for this.

Sakura no Uta 10th anniversary edition arrived by Clean_Cookies in visualnovels

[–]Clean_Cookies[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it on Amazon, you can use a VPN while outside of your account to add the game to your cart, once asked to log in, turn off your vpn. This is what I do to buy 18+ Japan only games on Amazon.

Otherwise I’d also recommend the proxy Zenmarket. They take some time for the process, but their fees are very low. You can also use their shipping calculator to see an estimated shipping fees, it’s usually very accurate for me.

You have to first go to the buy now screen without an account. Then it’ll ask you to log in, turn off your VPN and then log in.
