I wish a lot of inspiration and positive emotions to all the members and helpers of SweetSome Studio. Everyone's work is amazing, there is so much love poured into the script, art and UI of Taishō Romance Theater.

The typewriter + magazine/journal collage style looks so nice. I'm very fond of the colour scheme ♡ 

As for the CG preview, I really like the way Norika drew Kazuya's hair and eyelashes.

Crossing fingers for more people to discover Taishō Romance Theater! This play deserves a big audience ^^

P.S. I found Taishō Romance Theater by pure accident when I was looking for visual novels set in the Meiji or Taishō Era.

Such an impressive demo. The storyline is interesting and mysterious, the artwork is beautiful, the English translation is of good quality, the UI looks stylish, and the music is atmospheric. There are a lot of small details that will highly likely play a bigger role in the future.

All the characters have aesthetic designs and intriguing personalities, both the main cast and the supporting ones. Hatsuyuki Imaeda is probably my favourite character so far – she is so cute and fluffy… Makes me wonder if that’s her true personality. Everyone in this story seems to be so much more than meets the eye ;)

I also like how detailed the characters’ outfits are. The coats are classy and Sarina’s kimono is gorgeous.

Please keep up the great work! I’m looking forward to Demo 2.0 ^^

P.S. I wonder how many of 13 endings are going to be happy, neutral and bad…

Congratulations!!! A huge gratitude to the translators for their hard work.

Norika's illustration is amazing, TRT characters look so good in these fancy outfits ♡

Such a charming detective game! I liked how all the cases turned into a bigger case in the end.

I also like a lot how each of the Chinese Zodiac Animals was portrayed.

Thank you very much for the update ^^

I checked out Demo 1.0 and even managed to translate a few lines by taking screenshots and using picture translator in order to get the meaning of certain scenes better (the "dream" scene, the "magic" scene, and a few lines in the finale). The plot is interesting and the characters seem to have a lot of secrets.

Main Menu UI looks so cool. I like it a lot. The game has nice colour scheme that fits the aesthetics of Taisho Era well.

P.S. There is a certain moment that may or may not be a bug: when Kotori is looking in the mirror (after the rehearsal with Kazuya right before meeting Hatsuyuki) Kotori isn't wearing a coat, but his mirror reflection does.

Beautiful and atmospheric gothic tale. I was able to get the happy ending + tried a few different choices so I could  learn the servants' backstories.

Looks like this is going to be an interesting and atmospheric visual novel . The description sounds intriguing and the character designs are gorgeous. Looking forward to the English translation of the demo.

I finished reading Takane's route and enjoyed it a lot. Both Hinata and Takane are likeable characters, it was nice and heart-warming to see them teaming up to find the truth about their curses together. I'm very fond of Hinata as protagonist. I liked how she kept her original personality while becoming more caring towards other people.

Both of the endings felt very powerful. The final plot twist with Botan-chan in the "Melancholy" ending was surprising. I wonder if it's going to play some role in the other routes. The "Debt Erased" ending was perfect and cute, the sunset CGs are very beautiful (and all the other CGs are great too!).

I'm looking forward to Nitori's and Riku's routes!

P.S. I found a typo:  "I might still call out because of the stress, and that I can’t explain why I still why I have my wings on."

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Tons of gratitude to all the team members for their hard work!

I'll write my impressions as soon as I finish reading Takane's route (and of course I'll be waiting for the other characters' routs too).

Rinka is such a sweet little (demon) girl ^^ Her bond with Masaomi was so touching. I liked how kind he was and how much he cared for Rinka.  The scene where Masaomi, Rinka, and Kanon were watching shooting stars together is probably my favourite. Also, the scenes with the cat wanting to eat Rinka's tuna riceball were very cute. 

Cute, lighthearted story with a bit of drama. Alice is a fun protagonist who loves to dress in lolita style. It felt nice to read about her visiting the landmarks of Skye, as well as about her blossoming friendship and romance with Piper. Both the scenery descriptions and the characters' dialogue are very well written. The artwork is beautiful and the setting is atmospheric.

Ian, Piper's dad, deserves a special mention. Lots of his lines made me smile.

P.S. I sent you an e-mail. I hope it was  delivered without being flagged as spam.

Congratulations on the release!!! The new cover art looks amazing ^^

Great news!!! Can't wai to find out the truth behind the murder mystery. I'm looking forward to the final version of DiaG!

Such a lovely visual novel! Beautiful art, charming character designs, enjoyable music. Small animations are a nice addition to the CGs and the chibi art is adorable.

The love story of Elisabeth the demon and Taiki the human was sweet and wholesome, and Taiki's interactions with his siblings and grandparents were cute and funny. Elisabeth becoming a big sister figure for shy little Reza was so heartwarming.

Congratulations on becoming a parent and Happy New Year!!! May the year of the Dragon bring you and your family a lot of happiness and joy!

The extra story is absolutely adorable! It was nice to know about the main plot events from Maple's perspective. The childhood flashback was a great addition to the story. Little Cali and Maple are so cute. Cali's face expressions are precious!

Congratulation on v2! Can't wait to read the extra story!

P.S. I hope the little Christmas gift I sent to your e-mail have been delivered without being flagged as spam.

Aww, Fei is so adorable!!! ♡

This visual novel is as warm and fluffy as tuna rice! The colour scheme looks very aestetic and the camera work is impressive. I also liked the fish bone cursor and cute tuna image in the menus.

Yes, I'll be looking forward to the visual novel about these characters!

Nice atmospheric winter story with a bit of horror.  Crowe's face expressions are amazing. Anta did a great job with his sprite .

Very impressive work. Great short story with beautiful artwork.

I liked how the characters' interactions have been portayed without the use of words. It was interesting to see the perspectives of both characters. The story is light-hearted yet bitterweet with the hint of a possible happy ending in the future

Such an amazing demo! The characters are  very well written and their dialogues are enjoyable to read. Keiichi's reactions are priceless, his face expressions and  body language convey his feelings perfectly.  The murder case seems to be really interesting.  And all the 4 suspects seem to be hiding something, and quite literally: Amber has bandages on her hand, Terano is wearing his falconry glove, Jura refuses to take off her hoodie,  Ryuunosuke is bundeled up all cozy... Looks like Keiichi and his team are going to discover many secrets! The ending of the demo was hilarious. I espicially liked Amber's plant puns. 

I'm looking forward to the extra stories ^^

I have purchased HTFLK a few years ago, but it looks like I forgot to leave a comment. It's such a charming game, meow ^^  The art is pretty and the voice acting is very good. The love story of Regina and Juli is cute and funny. Myana's character design is very beautiful <3

A charming, sweet, and cozy story with adorable characters.

Such an adorable visual novel! The artwork is lovely, the characters are very cute, and the story is sweet, touching, and sentimental. I enjoyed the cozy autumn atmosphere of this VN. And I liked how the main menu changed after finishing the reading ^^

Here are 2 chibi fanarts to support the team:

Such a touching bittersweet story about friendship and forgiveness. The character designs for Ren, Iroha, Komainu, and the Youkai are absolutely gorgeous. The art and the music create an amazing haunting atmosphere.

Very atmospheric dark fairytale with amazing visuals and beautiful character designs. The team did a great job!

Hog best girl!

Such an intriguing Halloween murder mystery! Can't wait for the final chapter. 

So cute and funny. Kuku fhtagn!

Very atmospheric story with charming characters, beautiful art, nice music, and wonderful voice acting.

Very impressive work. The atmosphere of the mysterious haunted mansion is absolutely amazing.

 I liked how unique each character's personality and storyline was. Great character designs, soundtrack and voice acting. 

I wish there were more than two CGs, but the ones featured in the current version of the visual novel are really beautiful. 

I enjoyed discovering the ghosts' backstories and helping them to move on.

Finally, Natural - Beyond Nature - is on itchio! I like this game very much. The story is so touching, the artwork is beautiful, and Voices From The Sea character cameos are great. I also had a lot of fun with finding all those Mirage Fish hidden in the backgrounds ^^

Thank you very much for the information! 

P.S. I wish I could cheer the team up with more "To Become a Tengu" fanarts (I sent a few to the project lead's e-mail in the past), but since my drawing skills are not very good, I'm afraid I might be more of a burden than support.

I apologize for barging in on the conversation. 

If I'm not mistaken, I think I saw a message at Lepapirouge's twitter account regarding the writing of one of "To Become a Tengu" routes (Takane's?) being finished.

Is the team still planning to release Takane's route in 2023 with Riku's and Nitori's routes being put on hold? Or did the plans have changed and all three routes are scheduled to be released at the same time?
