Time to start translating again. May need to slow down as summer winds down.
I will be releasing multiple routes in one patch now because the other routes are smaller in comparison.
Next patch: Margit, Kokoro, Kosugi.
The patch after that: Momoyo, Kazuko, Yukie, Chris.
The patch after after that: Miyako, Agave.
The last patch: Hermit Crab, Tsubame, True Route.
Going to start with Margit Route first.
(Will not be releasing one at a time.)
>Miyako route after the first four heroines
ReplyDeleteWhy is being a Miyako bro such suffering...
Regardless, thank you very much for your hard work.
think of it as "save the best for the last" scenario here.
DeleteThat's right. Persevere, we must! Learn from goddess Miyako! Patience! She certainly has that virtue in spades...
DeleteMust be the reason y Hermit Crab route is the last. Its the best!
DeleteIt's probably to give time for the Miyako route in Majikoi to be translated, as well as the Agave route. Tsubame and True route are dead last because people will bitch about Tsubame, and True route requires Tsubame and some other route to be done
DeleteMiyako = bad end
DeleteMiyako needs loving too man she always gets the short end of things =\
DeleteI agree, it hurt to have to choose four other girls before Miyako, only because it wasn't available in the translation at that point (I actually don't know whether Yandere finished it now or not).
DeleteGoing to put off fapping until Margit route.
ReplyDeleteIt will be glorious.
Thank you Pun-kun
I shall quote a line from the Dark Knight Rises, "Boy, you're in for a show tonight!"
DeleteJust finished viewing it (though I couldn't understand Japanese) and I still enjoyed it. Expect something awesome when Yamato's parents (especially his dad) come into play.
>Kokoro route in next patch
ReplyDeleteThis is all I could ever ask for. Pun-kun you truly are the best
Wow, only taking a two day break since the last patch.
ReplyDeletePun-kun, you are a fucking machine. A sexy machine.
He is like translating machine I would not be surprised if S finishes translations before majikoi D=
DeleteI have two questions but too many praises to fit in one comment: one, who is Kosugi, the one who always says Premium? And two, what's the true route? If I remember from the prequel the agave was considered the true one. THough im sure the true route has something to do with the all of the Kuki family's plans. As for the order of translation, I totally have no cause to complain, you're already doing more than enough. Inoue keeps me laughing all the way, especially in Monshiro's route. In short, I salute you, hero!
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that Koyuki is considered to be the true route here because her route begins when Yamato is still a child so it is like a completely different branch of the story.
DeleteWell, that is what i think, not that I played any of the routes apart from Monshiro.
Thanks for the quick reply.
Deletehttp://www.minatosoft.com/majikoi/chara-kosugi.html
Delete^ Kosugi. The little annoying girl from the first game who was in Mayucchi's grade and tried to beat everyone in her grade.
But kosugi route was unlocked if you go to the tutorial around 13times and then it'll just say clear
DeleteWas there really a route for her??
Are you taling about Iyo?
DeleteI was under the impression Iyo is the tutorial bonus route.... (Yukie's little baseball friend girl from the first game).
Kosugi has an actual route (Not long but yeah..). It's stemming from the tutorial.
DeleteApparently it's partially translated in the current patch. I haven't played it yet so I can't comment further.
According to the walkthrough you have to do the tutorial quite a bit and you'll get one message and then you do the tutorial more and you'll get a second message.
DeleteFirst I'd like to thank you for your effort so far. Great job guys.
ReplyDeleteSecond I would like to ask if there are hidden routes for the Bushido Plan girls (I'd like me some of that benkei and seiso) and if there's any chance you'll be translating them along the way like you did with Iyo.
Thanks again.
there is no hidden route for the clones except the one H-scene of benkei in the true/koyuki route..i only hope that minato soft new relase majikoi A include a route for seiso and yoshitsune
DeleteWay waay waaaay yay! Yoshitune!
DeletePun you have an email so I can shoot you a question?
ReplyDeletethanks for ur effort guys ^^
ReplyDeletebut... why tsubame is near last T_T
I am with you, but Pun-kun told in the beginning that he will do Tsubame route last.
DeleteXD its the route i wished to play first the miyako , both of them won't come anytime soon q.q xD.
DeleteWhy last? just a decision or is better plot-wise?
DeleteSpeaking as a tsubame fan as well I believe it's going last because it will unlock the true route? Idk I'm betting on it being super good >< Tsubame FTW!!
DeleteAnother possibility would be cuz ppl kept bugging pun kun for her to the point of annoyance so he is getting payback by making her last-ish?
He doesn't like her. He said something like that check out the older comments.
Delete********************SPOILER ALERT*******************
Deletei warned you judging from what i played tsubame's route has some serious drama going on so i think it's best left the last one idk what does the others think but it's like yamato betrayed the whole family especially momoyo
And once again IMO the best girl gets translated last just like Miyako.
ReplyDeleteSeriously can't wait for the day when BOTH games get fully translated. It'll be glorious.
That my friend is still a Long Awaited dream that will one day come to pass
DeleteWill each part take around as long as Monshiro's route to to be translated?
ReplyDeleteYou'll find them surprisingly short... Longest be Monshiro, Tsubame...
DeleteThe other routes should be more H scene based like Yamato and kokoro's rumored ridiculously long ironman monster mash D= so that's why theyre short think short stories apart from the plot @.@
DeleteThanks for all your work, it's awesome!
ReplyDeleteBut on a side note, I want to ask a question. Why don't the play in the game? It just gets skipped through a black screen and the game continues. For example: 1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfAHQ8boEjo 2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebbC6sv0yuI 3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnTD0-6kXqU I can’t see any of these cinematics in-game. What is the problem?
You are likely lacking the proper video codecs to play those videos. Download and install CCCP. I believe that will fix it. Just google CCCP
DeleteI just came for you
ReplyDeleteLittle question Pun - kun, would the Tatsuko / Itagaki route be under the "Agave" route in this translation plan of yours? Back in January, nobody could have dreamed of S being translated so fast, and yet your hard work is making that a reality! Please continue your incredible translation work!
ReplyDeleteYeah, Agave is where Tatsuko and Tenshi's at!
DeleteAgave was there an agave in the first game?
DeleteYes, there was. It's the tree (Agave tree) that you can see that pops up in character select occasionally. I'm not sure what triggers the route. I downloaded a completed save so I could do Umeko's route since it was translated.
DeleteCheers for all your hard work and thank you for what you've done so far :D Can't wait for Margit!
ReplyDeleteMargit route next F YEA. U made my day,sir. Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteI keep getting Error 1503 whenever I try to start up majikoi S can anyone help?
ReplyDeleteLook out on google for the alpha disc error on Majikoi S.
DeleteThis is a good idea Pun-Kun since they are shorter route as you've said. anyway thanks a lot for the first patch and take it easy.
ReplyDeleteWoah. So you've planned out the whole thing, eh? Good luck, and thanks a lot for doing this for everyone. Take it slow so that you won't burn out.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that there's a Takae route too.
ReplyDeleteBut here I thought she's into girls judging by the Anime?
"Anime" <- There's your problem. This is the visual novel.
DeleteUsually trying to compare the two mediums is begging for disaster, especially when the anime is nowhere near as good as the original VN was.
^ what this person said is true^
DeleteHehe yeah my bad.
DeleteIt seems that Takae's Route is not really like the others anyway. Probably just a friendship thing.
But maybe I'm wrong.
No Seiso, Benkei and Takae routes?
ReplyDeleteif there is a seiso route or yoshitsune or benkei the game is perfect for me...unfortunately that kind of route dont exist in majikoi s i hope they include that into majikoi A
DeleteTakae is Agave
DeleteActually there's a selectable Route not connected with Agave for Takae with the name: Acquaintance of Takae or something like that.
DeleteMiyako is almost last again((
ReplyDeleteHey, PunKun this is Zin from Retia Translations (the guys who tried to help you). I was wondering if you guys knew were to get a hacker for a new project we are starting.
ReplyDeleteMargit and Kokoro route next? Pun-kun you are friggin' awesome. XD
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
btw, is there a way to donate to you? Or are you against it? Didn't saw a donation button so I'm not sure if you won't acceppt donations or I'm just blind.
I second this is there anyway for us to help yo
DeleteHave you checked all the problems I reported in the previous blog post?
ReplyDeleteAnd if possible, can you provide some sort of contact so I can report you everything I find? I will eventually check the common route and prologue, and I'm sure I will find problems like breaklines.
Omg, this means u guys are planning to translate the entire game! Yay! Love ya guys!
ReplyDeletethat is a fantastic idea i hope u have great fortune in the future pun-kun.
ReplyDeleteYou made my day =D Happyness everywhere ~ Thank you =D
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU
ReplyDeleteOh yeah!! I think when it reached the afterstory of all old heroine i going to play back their story in majikoi.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work
ReplyDeleteBtw does any1 know if some1 is still translating the 1st majikoi?
takajun is still translating majikoi. it's just taking long because of his work.
DeleteYep. A long, long, long time it will take for him to be done with Miyako's route. Let's just hope it won't be as long as Ataraxia...
DeleteIt's cuz he is probably doing all the side routes and all that jazz so the miyako route will be the grande finale
Delete^ While that would be cool, it's sadly not true. He is not working on side routes or anything like that. There is just literally no progress to speak of at all in regards to Majikoi. There was a 5% jump to 50% miyako after the website went down, but nothing since then.
DeleteHe is simply just not working on it due to personal reasons. There is no conspiracy or surprise side routes or anything like that.
Tch. It's going to be a mirrormoon level kind of waiting game, eh?
DeleteSigh miyako never gets loving that's why she has to rape =\
DeleteHey, it's yFSC (from so long ago, when you first started translating this.)
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you guys make an IRC?
It'd be useful in not only helping showing support, but actually getting in contact with you & Sakai.
Thank you very much for translating this.
ReplyDeleteMay God bless you guys.
awww Tsubame last ="( and Miyako 3rd ="( .... i'm a sad panda.
ReplyDeletebut i can't really whine, you guys are translating the whole thing after all. thank you.
side question though: those "villains" i forgot their names, but erm, the dude with 3 girls and the -ahemrapist- gay dude, is there a route for them? i personally would be interested in exploring their side
They're in the agave route
Deleteaha i see, and that route is being translated along with miyako as the 3rd round. sweet, having two routes i'm interested in released at the same time just might make it worth the wait hahaha.
Deletedare i ask if anyone has any info on it? maybe tag a big "spoiler" on top for those who don't want spoilers please. i personally love spoilers, but i wouldn't want someone to lash out over this, so might as well mention it.
i have a question to the agave route that will be translated..is it the original majikoi agave route or the tatsuko route in S? because the tatsuko route is the after story of the agave route..
DeleteWhere was the agave route in majikoi is my question @.@??? Game1 btw not S
Deletefinish all the 5 heroine then a tree like will appear in the character selection choose that
DeletePUN KUN HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?!??!?!
ReplyDeleteEveryone seems to like all the new heroines.
ReplyDeleteSigh I feel like the only one who likes only the original
It's not that we don't like the original, but we feel that the afterstories won't offer as much as the new ones. There's the old game for those heroines afterall.
DeleteYeah, Miyako doesn't get an original route, nor an afterstory here. Just two rape scenes.
ReplyDeleteErr... there's an Afterstory for her in Majikoi S. Apart from the two rape scenes.
DeleteTranslated? Nope, doesn't count.
Deletewait do you mean she gets raped or she rapes yamato?
DeleteRapes yamato of course...
Delete"Translated? Nope, doesn't count."..
^ Okay? Wtf? I'm going to assume you are the same dude who posted the "miyako doesn't get an original route".
What the hell was the point of that post to begin with? The translator clearly states that Miyako is getting translated in the 3rd round of translations, so obviously her route isn't translated. Plus nowhere does it say on the patch released that Miyako is translated. So, WTF?
I'm just having trouble wrapping my head around the pointlessness and stupidity of both posts.
Yamato rape Miyako? Hah. That would just play into Miyako's plans... Aside from those reverse rape scenes and the after story in S, were missing quite a few chunks in her story since Takajun decided he'd do Miyako's route last and complete it god knows when...
DeleteCan't wait to do the Koyuki route >_<
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Pun-Kun!
Anyone happen to have the number of animated scenes in S?
ReplyDeleteJust curious.
21 animated scenes and 12 ending credit scenes. 48 H-scenes.
DeleteHuh I expected more than 21 animated scenes.
DeleteThanks for the info.
21 animated scenes for a VN is a lot... Especially considering Majikoi S isn't that long. On top of all of that, animated scenes in VN are a rarity and not common at all considering the time and money required to insert them.
Deleteo_O I'm just confused as to why you would expect more than 21 animated scenes.
Hey,
ReplyDeletethought I ask here:
I am missing a H-scene / pictures, but I don't know where this scene is. I played through the whole game (or so I thought).. maybe you can help me:
http://imgur.com/FQs0J
If you played through and know what I'm missing - please help me. :)
Thanks for the translation so far btw. and keep going!
Greetings
You're missing PREMIUM scenes.
DeleteHint is: Tutorial
Oh, thanks!
DeleteYou really need to be persistent to get this one.. my, what an idea.
But thanks again for the fast reply.
so from now on, this page will update every friday or Sunday?
ReplyDeleteWhat about Yumiko? Where is she?
ReplyDeleteI believe that she branches off from the Hermit crab route
DeleteYeah, Yumiko is reached through the hermit crab route. But really, I dislike that route. They could have done another thing like Azumi instead of such stupid route. It was funny the first time, it's not funny when you repeat it again.
DeleteYeah, it just took Yamato's love for his pets to the extreme... he's somewhere around Suguru or Yonpachi's level of obsession with their specialties. It's a "gag" route.
Deletedoes the patches work for the official game bought on j-list?
ReplyDeleteDon't see why the patch wouldn't work on the legal method.
DeleteBut if it helps I can say I bought the game from Sofmap in Japan and the patch works just fine.
Thanks a lot, just wanted to make sure it works before actually buying it.
Deletei have been actually considering to import soon, but what i'm really worried at is:
Deletehow does the patching works exactly? does it patch on its own? or what do i need to do? i'm just worried since it will probably be in Japanese when it "trigger" so i just want to be sure i can do it no problems.
can you please explain how its done? o.o i'd greatly appreciate it.
oh! i forgot another important thing, could you please send me a link to the game's box cover? i'm searching as i type but i'm not sure of the results i'm getting to be honest.
Deleteagain, greatly appreciated ^^
You literally just place the patch in the game directory. In my version I'm pretty sure http://lifeisavn.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/majikoi-s-00.jpg?w=300&h=300
DeleteThis is what (From what I remember) the cover looked like for me, though I don't know if packaging is different, since depending where you buy the game you would receive different omake if perhaps the game cover would change as well.
But if you find a Majikoi S game on Jlist or wherever you buy it from and the price is around $100, I don't know what else it could be.
Just my $.02.
aha, i see. i was going to get it from Jlist. its a bit pricey costing 150 to be exact xD [not counting the shipping charges =w=]] so i need to wait until next month or so, need to save up.
DeleteAnd regarding the patching, so it downloads automatically and i just toss it in the directory? or do i have to go to the game's site and download it or something? sorry but i'm not quite sure i fully understood you there =X
Once you download the patch you need to extract it from the rar, there will be 2 files, script.pac and update2.pac, open your majikoi s main directory where you will see folders for save data movie data, and all the pac files as well as the game exe, just put those 2 files in the folder
DeleteYou download the patch from the article Monshiro Patch Released on this website, and place it in the folder directory of the game Majikoi S after you have installed the game.
ReplyDeleteFrom then on you should have the complete Monshiro route and afterstory along with the common route and various other tidbits with the rest of the story coming along as we speak.
oh no, not that. i meant the DLC/patch with the new routes coming later on. I know how to install the translation patchs. What i'm worried about are the added routes coming later xD i want to know how are they handled, if i will need to pay again or need to go through registration through Japanese sites i might have to pass on it since i won't know what to do u_u -sad fais-
DeleteWait, they adding new routes?
Deleteso i hear, and apparently, Benki is the first to have her route add-ed, but when? i don't know.
Deleteyou can see why i'm worried about that xD
New Routes are in Majikoi A with isnt released yet...
DeleteMajikoi A will be a seperate game from S
Deletewaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah miyako patch seems so far away... so... far... away...
ReplyDelete*stretches out hand towards the sky, as a single tear rolls down*
Pun-kun, I have a question. Will you still be posting weekly updates on the translation status?
ReplyDeleteAnd also, I love you. You do great work.
Hi mm i dont see if the Tatsuko route will be traslate T___T why? no is her one of main-heroines of Majikoi S? ... btw ty for you hard work!.
ReplyDeleteTo all the retards that haven't read anything:
DeleteAgave route - Tatsuko route.
True route - Koyuki route.
how to access the main route again? o.o i went through all 5 heroines routes and the after stories [including the old main heroines' by the way] >3>
Deleteif u download the monshiro patch. in the timeline childhood will appear click that and choose to accept yuki in the group
Deleteyou sure about that? i don't see a "childhood timeline" which route is that in the timeline screen =X ??
Deleteerm never mind, just saw it xD i had to finish the rest of the after stories. thanks for the tip though! :D
Deletey tsubame is the last @@
ReplyDeletePlease read the previous comments. This was asked right at the beginning and answered. Also it has been asked multiple times since.
DeleteI thought Agave from Majikoi 1 was the true end? I guess they either retconned it (Since the start of the semester in Majikoi S! seems to feed off an alternate history with the BUSHIDO plan instead of the Utopia thing) or it just exists as a sort of alternate timeline type thing along with the other endings. Guess it doesn't matter that much since canon in VNs doesn't account for much, just go with the routes you like and what not. Tatsuko is still <3
ReplyDeletethe agave route is not the true end..the players only considered it the true end because thats the last route of the game and only be availble if you finish the 5 heroine...majikoi s is the continuation of the original majikoi prologue (before the character selection screen) it not an alternate history
DeleteAgave was the agave route. Just like Wanko was the wanko route. None were technically labeled true end.
DeleteThat was an incorrect fan label really.
I hope Seiso gets a route in Majikoi A, she deserves it...
ReplyDeletei second to that..but not seiso but also benkei and yoshitsune..
DeleteBenkei's already confirmed, Yoshitsune would be nice but I prefer Seiso. Azumi/Maids route would be the next thing I'd ask for after that. Other than that I guess Takae? Most of my bases are covered if we get those 3. At the VERY least I want Seiso though. She had the least interaction out of all the clones in S so she deserves to have a route of her own, at least Benkei already has an H-Scene in S unlike Yoshitsune and Seiso.
Deleteif majikoi A will give us seiso route it will be love triangle betweem yamato-seiso-kyougoku(the classmate of seiso) if you play the koyuki route i think seiso is already in love or have some kind of feelings with kyogoku
DeleteConsidering we already dealt with the whole Gen/Hideo/Yamato/Wanko thing in Majikoi 1 I don't think a love triangle is out of the question. Besides Yamato's already confessed to liking older women (Most of the time).
DeleteDoes anyone have a 100% save file or can link me to one? Much appreciated
ReplyDeletehere is a complete save file http://www.mediafire.com/?m8js104dl8mp6w9
DeletePW:4fakku
Thanks
Deleteerm... is it just me or.... is Seiso
ReplyDelete~~~~~~~POSSIBLE SPOILERS~~~~~~~
Lu Bu? she's holding a haldberd that looks like Lu Bu's O_O
no she's not.. she is not from the romance of the 3 kingdoms..
Deleteseriously? aww, i thought that would be epic xD
Deletebut seriously though hrm, the haldberd hrm.....
sob i want Yukie T_T
ReplyDeleteIn the game has h scenes with Benkei and that girl who is an third year archer where can i find those in the game?
ReplyDeleteIs it in the true route?
Benkei's h scene is in the true route and the sempai ist through the hermit route
Deletethanks, i want to ask something else where can i find kosugi and Koyuki route?
DeleteThrough the true route?
Kosugi is via tutorial screen. Just keep going back, like 10 times. Then you'll get a new scene. Then go back another 5-10 times and you'll be on Kosugi's "route".
DeleteKoyuki route is unlocked by doing all the main routes (it is the true route)
does anyone know how many routes are left in the first majikoi? not counting miyako's route.
ReplyDeleteAgave, then the remaining side routes which incude Class Rep, Chika, and the 3 male characters from the Kazama Family.
Deletehmm, so 5 short side stories and the longest route in the game. well that might take a while. thanks
Deleteso close yet so far
DeleteWHO CARES Momo was all you needed. Anyone else is just the after deserts to me.
Delete"to me" is the key word. or words.
DeleteOH JESUS YOUR DOING THE MARGIT PATH>? I literally cried ;-; Im not joking! Thank you soooooo much ;-;; waaaaaaaah!
ReplyDeleteDon't have your hopes TOO high. Margit path is literally 90% sex scenes. I'm just saying, it's not a story filled path. It's a bunch of cute moe scenes with Margit, and personally I don't mind that.
DeleteJust don't expect some epic plot or story and you'll be happy.
Moe margit? How could you NOT be happy?
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteDo any of you understand the walktrhough? cause I'd feel more confident playing with it. And Pun-kun you're awesome my best regards
ReplyDeleteIt's completely unnecessary. The majority of the choices change only a couple lines. You literally are presented with 5 choices on which girl's route you to want to go on. "Tsubame looks cute" or "Monshiro may be fun to hang out with", etc. There is no way you can mess it up.
DeleteI pretty much always use walkthroughs for VNs, and trust me, there is no need for it. There are a couple hidden mini routes and stuff, but those haven't been translated yet so that's a moot point. Iyo gets a mini route though, and it's quite obvious how to get on it.
Just play the game without worry about your choices. The ones that matter are plainly obvious.
i have played 5 main route in the first game, but i don't know how to get the true route. did anyone know???
ReplyDeletep.s
sorry my grammer is bad
read the comments above and you will find the answer
DeleteWill progress updates be on a Friday or a Sunday now?
ReplyDeleteYou guys work fast I was on IRC yesterday it was 19.4% then when i woke up BAM 28%. Thanks so much for the hard work.
ReplyDeletewhats that irc and how you can get into it?
DeleteY Nobody get depressed bout hermit crabs' route bein dead last?!
ReplyDeleteOh well, guess i'll save le fappin for later
Guys guys guys!!!! Check Majikoi S website right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey announced something about Majikoi A, and even put a date!!!
if i read it correct oct 1, 2012 is the release of majikoi A..for those that can read japanese please confirm it..
Deletewhat's the name of the site?
Deletehttp://www.minatosoft.com/majikoi-s/kawakami-s72.html
DeleteJust FYI, you did not read it correct. oct 1 2012 is the day more information is announced on Majikoi A.
Deleteso how it's going with margit route? what the progress?
ReplyDeleteWhat? Why js Momoyo route being done so late. :(
ReplyDeleteWhy Tsubame in the last patch? T_T
ReplyDeleteAre you going to translate any of the other (Hidden) Routes? For example, routes such as:
ReplyDeleteIyo Route (BUT, I heard that this route was already translated when the monshiro route was completely translated and came out, ready for downloading...please correct me if I'm wrong)
Future with Chosokabe? (BTW, (Means: "By The Way", for those people who do not know what it means), I have NO idea who this person is; there wss that GUY from the East-West War with the same name? I think? near the beginning; otherwise I have ABSOLUTELY NO idea on WHO he is! Who exactly is he?!)
And what about the "Tatsuko" route? (also I'm dying to know how you get that route started!)
(^BTW, the tatsuko route is not actually a hidden route)
those are all that I know so far, if possible, can you do/try to do one or more of the following?:
1. Please add more if you know any others
2. Please correct me if I'm wrong anywhere
3. AND Please answer my questions in (they are in: "(?)") for me if you can, and thank you very much for your help
