A very special Happy birthday to you, brother. It has been yet another year ever since we talked together about bringing this group into one piece. Now that we have reached far, I hope for more achievements, smile and antics in the years ahead.

A little something from us

After a long silence, we once echo out steps in the scene! Here’s another chapter of Mahoutsukai to Deshi no Futekisetsu na Kankei!

D/L:
Chapter 17

We haven’t made any realistic progress these past few months since our schedules been hectic and college life is putting up a pressure on me. Anyway, I’m back in action for now at least so expect some progress this month.

I’m finally finished with Wakana’s route, and I’ll be having Shirayuki on the line next ( sorry for the Rito fans out there ). going to update the project page later… have a nice day

A grinning Homura to describe the feeling, Ixrec and his Amaterasu translations just gave the entire VNTL community a liter full of shock and amazement as he releases the patch of Muv-Luv Alternative and Shikkoku no Sharnoth.

Known for their works like Cross Channel and MOON. , The sudden release of the said patches raised quite a number of eyebrows in the translation community. With tensions rising, some even commented that the release single-handedly killed the industry and that it also killed the the last sparks of the Kimi ga Nozomu Eien translation.

But as for the others, they set aside all the drama, grab a copy of the game. Give a big thank you to the ones responsible and play or rather, read away.

-CRiMSON.

oh well, let’s look forward to the magics of this year. for the meantime, I’ll give you insights about the eroges that you shouldn’t miss. yeah I know, I’m not that great in writing reviews.

Title: Tenshin Ranman: LUCKY or UNLUCKY!?
Company: Yuzusoft
Genre: school life, slice of life, ecchi, romance, imouto
Links: getchu, walkthrough

I’ve been playing eroges for a long time now so I thought of writing a review, Tenshin Ranman is definitely one of the eroges that I was hooked into, it’s pretty well done for a slice of life genre, if I remember, there weren’t any scenes from the game that bored me out, leaving the explanation thingy aside. especially when Sana is present on the scene. I’ll tell you this but Sana is my self proclaimed IMOUTO

Somehow, I really find the OP awkward.

Story

You start off as Haruki, your typical unlucky protagonist. experiencing various mishaps everyday is a usual thing for him. the game starts off when Haruki and Sana are walking to school when a truck came rushing to them and nearly hit them.

The following scenes pretty much introduce all the major and minor characters in the game.

After school, when Haruki and Sana get home. a big cardboard box is delivered to their house that’s addressed to Haruki. Haruki opens it, when a girl suddenly breaks out of the box and proclaims herself as the goddess Unohana no Sakuya Hime, she explained the purpose why did she come into Haruki’s house and the fact that Haruki is cursed by the gods of misfortune and probably the reason why various mishaps are happening around him. though, the cursed can’t be removed, she can help lessen the effects brought by the curse by sucking it out of him with a kiss. (chu~ <3)

I can say the rest of the game concentrates on comedy and slice of life situations, there are some nice drops of drama as well which is a really good thing.

Characters

Haruki Chitose

Our unlucky protagonist, he already treat his misfortunes as a part of his daily life. A tsundere, and unbelievably good at fighting. he shows his soft personality from time to time, and deeply cares about his companions. You can rely on him when the time counts.

He’s a really likeable protagonist if you’re to ask me, I really like the way he always snaps off whenever Hime is making fun of him. he has done a very good job on Hime’s route so let me praise him for that.

Hime Unohana

The goddess in a box, she is sent to protect Haruki from his misfortunes. enjoys teasing Haruki to see his reactions. she knows when to pull off a joke and when to be serious. seems to be good at everything, what can you expect from a goddess? she’s also fond of reading mangas. due to that, she’s probably viewing the world with misconceptions. on a side note, beware of her Tezu– I mean, Hime Zone!

She is at least my 2nd favorite heroine in the game I really find her tempting whenever she’s teasing Haruki and the times she’s being jealous. while I’m not really crazy about her character, her voice is very alluring at some point.

Sana Chitose

Haruki’s imouto, kind to everyone, good at housework, whether it’s cooking or laundry, she can handle them all. definitely has a big brother complex, and always panicking whenever she says embarrassing things in front of her big brother. of course, imoutos should be scared of ghost stories so is she. really knows a lot of otaku memes, there’s a possibility that she’s a 2channer? there’s more than meets the eye.

[Why didn't you put me below Nii-san!!] I’m sorry Sana-chan please take note that this is reality and the main heroine should be first. being my favorite heroine and as a big fan of imoutos, I feel that Sana is customedly made for me, I don’t really have anything to add on any further. just let me say it one more time, SANA is my self-proclaimed imouto.

Aoi Yamabuki

Haruki’s childhood friend, and sister to Wataru. due to her looks and outgoing personality, she’s really popular at school. was confessed to a lot, but she turns them all down. she always put others first and is not really honest with herself. she doesn’t seem to worry about every minor things. often hands out charms to Haruki to protect him from his misfortunes.

Well, I know some of you like this kind of girls, but she’s not really my thing. I recently find her “what are you talking about?” scenes annoying. aside from that, I really love her in her maid outfit. if only they put in more moe elements to her *sigh*.

Rindou Ruri

She runs after Hime after she left. she’s a fox eared girl and can change his current form into a fox. really loves sweets.she’s convinced that Haruki is making fun of Hime which is actually the opposite. has a habit of smelling people who she has taken interest to, and often bites Haruki.

I’m fond of lolis so this GREATO! Ruri’s so damn cute,  period.

Mahiro Tokiwa

One of the two sub heroines. she’s the student council president of Mizunagi Gakuen. excellent grades, good looks, kind to everyone, the students really admire her. she loves curry. oh, did I mention? she has big boobs.

Her route is ridiculously short that makes it so disappointing. I wish there were more of her.

Yukari Karasuba

One of the two sub heroines. Haruki’s homeroom teacher. she doesn’t want to get involved in troublesome things. even though she’s not good at smoking, she carries some for some reason. also, A BIG SADIST.

I do want a teacher like her. she’s really cute when being teased though.

Side Characters

Wataru Yamabuki

Aoi’s older sister who works at the coffee shop “Robin” run by Haruki’s grandfather. Yukari’s friend from her school days.

Iori Shinonome

The only megane chara. Haruki’s friend. a bit of an idiot, but he’s the school’s top grader.

Kotarou Asagi

Haruki’s childhood friend. he’s the heir of a Shinto Shrine.

Shinichirou Chitose

Haruki’s grandfather. owner of the coffee shop “Robin”. his looks can be misleading since he’s a bit of a pervert. his charming point is his long and pointy beard.

Honoka Tokusa

Haruki’s classmate. a bright and energetic fellow and considered as the class’ mood maker, and a member of Mizunagi Gakuen’s newspaper club.

Mikio Oitake

Head teacher of Mizunaki Gakuen. yeah, he’s strict. especially towards Haruki.

System

The game runs on widescreen like any other games being released recently. there’s nothing special at the menu. Sana’s an exception though. ( again with my favoritism )

What I loved here are the configs, I tend to change a lot of things in a game so this is really helpful. I didn’t notice I displayed Ruri there on purpose.

I really love the text box, it’s soothing and it really fits the game. the save/load buttons are too small though. I really love it when it’s large.

From here, you can view cgs and stuffs. BGM selection is also available at the right side that makes it more convenient. take note that this can only be viewed after finishing a route.

Music

The BGMs are quite a sound to listen to. especially, Sana’s “with you” character song. I did find the other BGMs boring though. nonetheless, that depends on my mood.

Art

What I really love about the art is its simplicity. it’s nowhere near perfect but it’s awesome that I can’t put it into words. I really love the way how the eyes were drawn naturally, and the breathtaking backgrounds are one of the things that you can’t miss as well.

The SD cgs are quite amusing too.

H scenes

There’s a total of 23 H scenes. I think it’s more than plenty enough to fap to. the seiyuus did a good job acting out each characters. don’t expect me to put a scene of Sana here >_<.

Last Words

All in all, it was quite a good read. if you’re looking for an eroge full of fun and bliss, Tenshin Ranman is an eroge to play. If you’re fond of imoutos, that’s a plus too.
