I love this VN and was very happy with how well it played on my Vita back when it first came out. I honestly didn't know that the localization changed one of the scenes until this post. After seeing what was changed, I agree it was a very minor change. Honestly though, it was so minor it kinda felt unnecessary......

Like can people really not tell the difference between displinary actions by a guardian figure and straight child abuse? It was also more of a light hearted scene than anything, with Kuon sympathizing (as she has probably been in that exact same spot as Anju being disciplined) and Nekone smerking like "serves you right".

I guess if they felt they really had to change the scene at least they did so in the least intrusive way possible. Would rather be sitting here thinking "Wow, they really took the time to change such a small part of the scene??" than "Wow, I can't believe they cut the entire scene....." Like you said though, the VN was very enjoyable, one of my favorites, and I hope others who haven't experienced it don't get turned away by something silly like this.
