Nenshou! For Girls - Introduction and Instructions

Hi, Terry here bringing to you a new (abs-building and translation) project. I call it...

LET'S PLAY: NENSHOU! FOR GIRLS

Image not mine. I only borrowed it from another reviewer's blog entry.

INTRODUCTION

A brief intro, this is the second of such games from an Japanese app developer CREATIVE FREAKS. The first of the series was targeted for males, featuring a love interest cum fitness coach, and worked under the same dynamics. (Interestingly enough, this app has enraged several about the sexism and verbal abuse this game features. Upon trying it out, I don't think it's that abusive. =/ The guy even praises you. It's a tsundere kind of love narrow-minded people don't get. XD)

There are three dateable characters in this app, but at the start, you're only introduced to the first guy. In this case, it's Katsuragi Kei who happens to be voiced by the one and only Namikawa Daisuke (most recently Egawa Takuma in Baby Steps, less recently Italy from Hetalia, Tobari-sensei from Nabari no Ou, and well, Ootori Choutarou from N/Prince of Tennis).

The other boys you'll find available in the later episodes are Maizono Touma (CV: Kimura Ryouhei -- KnB's Kise Ryouta, Magi's Judal, Tokyo Raven's Touji) and Shiba Ryuji (CV: Konishi Katsuyuki -- DiaLovers's Reiji, DRRR!!'s Tanaka-san, Hetalia's Canada/America).

The story follows a slightly debu (fat/obese) heroine who's attending the Ootori School of the Performing Arts...on her journey to, you said it, lose weight. 

Yagyuu Hiroshi DN - Otoko toshite Touzen no Shikou

I randomly came across this DN, so I decided to translate it. Sorry for the lack of updates. Currently, I'm translating a Hiyoshi multi-chap DN entitled First Love. Please look forward to it!

Yukimura Seiichi DN - Koibito ni Natta Hi

Here's the continuation of the previous entry. This particular DN was a joy to translate. I really liked how there were action scenes and how the shounen and shoujo aspects blended. ...or I could just be really happy that Niou came out in this fic even for a bit. 

Beware, T/Ns still abound.

Yukimura Seiichi DN - Isei no Tomodachi

This is my first time translating a DN in two parts. Here is Part 2.

...I've put a lot of T/Ns in this one. I hope it doesn't detract from your reading experience.

<<Neocities: Yukimura - Boy Friend>>

Yukimura Seiichi DN - Hikari no Zanpen

Most of these Yukimura DNs are for my friend. She was the who provided the name of the heroine I'll be using for the rest of the Yukimura DNs unless otherwise specified.

On another note, the format is a bit different for this as it was written in a more traditional novel style unlike the previous DNs which resembled cellphone novels more.

Niou Masaharu DN - First Step

Another Niou DN. I have to admit I have sort of a bias for him.

Marui Bunta DN - honey

Alright, the first Marui DN! While Atobe is my ultimate bias, I still haven't found especially enjoyable DNs for him. In the meantime, have some more Rikkai!

Additional note: This is my OC Shishou Ria's debut in a DN!

Niou Masaharu DN - Ever

Now for a Niou DN. I'll be honest and say that I have a lot of DNs for him piled up, but some of them seem OOC or too sappily romantic for my taste, so most of the time I skip them. I have plans on working on a long DN series for him soon. Probably a couple of VS ones as well.

Yagyuu Hiroshi DN - Usotsuki Nemurihime

Hi~ This was my first ever attempt at doing a DN translation, so please bear with the mistakes here and there. I'm still in the process of learning Japanese, so I hope for your understanding.

Minor note, in most of the Yagyuu and Niou DN translations, I named the heroine Shimohara Nagi. She's my OC in one of the fics I'm working on.
