As G.J? usually updates their game sites on Fridays, I was resigned to another week of bleak despair after yesterday passed without an update over at the Majodou official page. It seems they were just a bit behind schedule, though, and pulled through with an update today that consists of both a renewal of the page layout (with a great new splash image on the front page), five new Sample CG images, and the news that the game is officially scheduled for release on May 30th. Nine weeks to wait… doesn’t sound quite so long that way, actually. :3 We’ll be on the lookout for further updates on this Sano Toshihide-designed game over the coming weeks. (no more)
Can you speak to G.J.’s attitudes toward licensing their games for US release?
Yeah. I too will be very interested in UNcensored English/American subtitled versions with the original Japanese voices. 8)
Character design in these H games are almost ever great, but I can’t bear still images (I know that there is many animated games) and, specially, the censorship.

Sorry for the delay in this reply.
I don’t know a blessed thing about how G.J? would feel about their games being licensed for English release, but I’d love to find out. Maybe some day…

I’m sorry to hear that. I wish more people would accept the games as novels with gorgeous illustrations and read aloud by professional voice actors, rather then as “games” per se (which they’re not, really).
It’s my theory that a shift in marketing to convey that visual novels really are a new form of media might help them be more successful with western audiences.
Jeezus……those are some amazing scenes.
