Welp

I was expecting to be wrong about the plot but we're already on the misunderstanding drama phase.
Oh well, at least they keep being gay as hell.

Awesome, thanks Nev!

>Valkyre Drive: Bhikkhuni Will not be Censored for the West PQube Explains

I can confirm that Valkyrie Drive: Bhikkhuni will be brought to the west in its original form, with content completely intact. It will be with a Japanese dub and English subtitles.
We generally don’t take on these kinds of projects if we’re not confident we can release it in the west without cutting or changing content. Changing the source material kind of defeats the purpose of doing it in the first place, so that is not something we even consider unless we literally have no other options. In terms of platform holders and ratings boards, you’d be surprised what you can get away with. Gal*Gun: Double Peace passed quite painlessly for example.
Where issues might arise in terms of publishing, is selling the title in to retailers who might be hesitant to take it. A game doesn’t just appear at retailers when we release it; a big part of the process is to go around and sell the title to each individual retailer and negotiate numbers and prices. Trying to present a game like Valkyrie Drive to a group of executives at a major retailer, who might be in their 50’s and don’t play or particularly care about games, and convince them that Valkyrie Drive is amazing and would do really well on their shelves or their website, can be quite the challenge for the sales team.

Also, the Vita has pretty much the entire Neptunia series. You know, the one with the lesbian consoles :p

Basically is a Vita that you need to plug into your TV. It's main attractive is that is pretty cheap.

The Vita is a good console but if you aren't a fan of japanese games you won't get much mileage from it.

You can get a Vita TV. The game is compatible.

PQube has confirmed already the game is fully uncensored

YESSSSSSSS

Found in another board

my fav. part of valkyrie drive is that my friend's gone to doujin events for it and it was literally nothing but women making doujins about the girls being flustered about holding hands

Shopto (UK retailer) list Valkyrie Drive for Vita, published by PQube Link has been taken down, but if you go to the Vita page on Shopto's website, they have Valkyrie Drive listed under "top pre-orders"

Cross your fingers people

In b4 is Europe exclusive

Mira never disappoints.

The funny thing is that I was getting ready to complain about one sister being blonde and the other brunette but everything was part of Mira's master plan. That will teach me to not doubt her.

LewdGamer put a short article about this work. (whose correct name is "A Report on How I was so Sad that I Went to A Lesbian Brothel")

It's a pretty interesting if depressing read.

Just eh, fair warning,LewdGamer has a lot of banners that could be offensive for certain regulars here (ie dicks, tons of dicks)

Matsuri trolling Yuzu will never get old

Great doujin with a pretty interesting spin on classic horror tropes. Keep it coming Mira!

I was expecting science babies.

I'm dissapoint.

But seriously, what the hell is going on in this story?

Yuu and Touko are both awfully perceptive people. Yuu has always had a sorta 'meh' and 'hm mkay' kind of attitude, and the moment she behaved differently, Touko noticed and reacted right away. The moment the look in Touko's eyes changed, Yuu caught on really fast as well and... Yuu stuttering and speaking like that, is unlike her isn't it?

To be fair, anyone would reacted like Yuu with the crazy eyes Touko did back there.

The only thing chapter 13 made clear to me is that Touko needs therapy.

Oh boy, drama is closer than I expected.

Holy crap

That girl is incredibly dedicated or fricking insane.

Maybe both.

EDIT: Oh, is just a publicity stunt for Animeexpo from Seven Seas. Is slightly less impressive now.

Count me in for the test Lune.

Reading this manga before going to bed is bad, I can only dream of food afterwards.

The tone of those series is obviously different but they follow the same plot beats: perky blonde girl shakes the world of the more serious brunette, blonde develops strong feelings for the brunette while brunette struggles to understand these new feelings blondie is stirring in her, conflict and misunderstanding happens, things work out in the end and they become a lovely couple.

Girlfriends is different on its structure since it dealt more directly with the implications and consequences of coming out on top the usual romance tropes. I guess that is what I find distracting, Morinaga's works of late are just different takes on the same romance tropes, lacking that layer that made Girlfriends so special.

Mare is the anomaly on Morinaga's output but also is one of her earliest works.
