ReviewIn general I believe this VN is great for the nukige enjoyers, definitely an 8/10 but there are a a few problems with the localization that can't be overlooked.
The localization is full of american friendly decisions like changing "musuko" to nephew, "otouto" and "imouto" to roommate and roomie respectively. In fact the localization of this degenerate visual novel changes the heroines form a mother and three daughters to a dorm mother and three tenants... What's the point? Why even localize a VN if you are going to censor the dialogue but leave the H scenes?

This nukige is definitely a 8/10 for me but the localization is a 5/10 so I believe you should skip this unless you know japanese.

Edit: There's a patch on Fakku's page that solves the problem with the localization.

< report >Dorm mother and 3 tenants? What the actual fuck? I'm usually pretty blah about this stuff but that is straight up screwing with the entire premise.

< report >Wow, big thanks for warning us about this censorship! Can't believe this sneaky shit. It's weird coming from a company that sold Maitetsu uncensored.
Edit: this is really weird because vndb's synopsis taken from Fakku itself doesn't censor the relationship but the synopsis on Fakku is not the same and ambiguous. Did you buy it on Fakku btw, as there is a patch available, most likely to remove mosaics?Last modified on 2022-01-20 at 06:10

< report >#2 You are right. The patch solves this problem. I was not aware of the need for a patch since the VN (on steam) has the H-scenes without mosaics.

< report >Inrteresting. It seems that Itchio version is censored (Fakku links the patch on the Itch.io page), and the Fakku version is uncensored (they state the patch is not needed). What about the Steam version, though? This review link seems to state that the translation changes Mitsuko from protagonist's aunt into his mother's best friend, so it appears to be censored...?

That said, either way we still need to create separate release entries for the censored/uncensored editions and the patch.

< report >#5 The steam version is censored but the patch works fine. It's a weird decision in my opinion and not even in vndb was any info about this "issue"

It's definitely shady how Fakku barely mentions the censorship. It's a single comment on Itch.io, and isn't mentioned on Steam at all. Seems no one noticed up until now, which is why vndb wasn't up to date on the issue.
