Pretty reasonable line-up here. Not a huge number of hits, but more than I’ve seen in one month’s time in a while.

I have to admit that I wouldn’t mind seeing more sim-based eroge (ala Comic Party) come back. I had almost as much fun designing the doujinshi in CP as I did trying to get the various endings.

Good work as always, Shingo! ^_^

You’ve got me there. Once the formula was set in stone, the companies had no reason to try and reinvent the genre. Why mess with what sells?

I have no real way to back this up, but I think that eromanga artists are the best source of chikan stuff these days. Inuburo, Kisaragi Gunma and Iruma Kamiri have all done really high quality stuff in the last couple of years.

How all this impacts eroge, I have no clue. ^_^’

>>lostdog I wouldn't mind it as much if it weren't done so uniformly poorly. Beacons of quality like Itazura and the Shin Saishuu Chikan Densha series are rare in a landscape of incredibly boring, nigh painful chikan fare, in my experience at least.

Shingo: “Will this genre never die?”

NEVER! Some of us old farts still hold the flame of chikan high, fed by the memories of early Black Dog doujinshi and JDOS games from 1995.
