At long last, the spooky month. Deliver me from the horrors of real life.
Light Novels
Kokoro Connect (J-Novel Club):
Volume 10 available now! Final volume is 75% translated; that'll get finished on the 16th of this month! Preorder today - releases on November 24th! Today I start translating the final chapter of Kokoro Connect and I am in my feelings.
Adachi and Shimamura (Seven Seas): Volumes 1 and 2 available now! Volume 3 available for preorder (phys)! Also releases November 24th!
Volume 4 is also available for preorder! Releases February 9th, 2021 (phys)!
As for Volume 5, there are no preorders yet (I think?) but the estimated release date is June 1st, 2021 (phys)! This month I finally get to reunite with my daughter Adachi, who I've missed dearly.
Yes, No, or Maybe? (Seven Seas):
Print edition got pushed back to November 3rd, I notice. Preorder today!
I Have A Secret (Seven Seas):
Translation complete as of today! Coming May 2021! As an aside, the manga version may be objectively superior since they gave Miyazato glasses. Someone should license it and let me work on it.
Games
TAISHO x ALICE episode II (Primula):
Released early!!! I hope you all enjoy your adventures* with Kaguya and Gretel (*CONTENT WARNINGS: SELF-HARM, SUICIDE, ATTEMPTED RAPE). Have funnnnnnnnn. I wrote a guide for Kaguya's Happy Ending if you need it.
MARIALBUM (OTUSUN LAND):
Launched a Kickstarter today! I'm the Localization Supervisor for this one - functionally speaking, I serve as the Bell Chimes lore bible whenever Ian needs help with references or characterization. We're aiming to raise $1000 (it's a short kinetic fandisk) and have it on Steam next summer. If you're looking for an otome game series with fun, addictive gameplay elements, The Bell Chimes For Gold series is for you!
This month I'm scheduled to focus on two different secret projects. One of them might get announced within the next week or two. As for the other, I'll confirm my involvement if/when the contract is signed. ' v ' b
