Hanamaru 2 - Next one licensed by JAST

...Someday?

Might have been in the summer of 2023 or 2024 when it was announced. Now I can't take it for granted that Inyouchuu Insects of Insemination was announced and released in the same year. lol

But I'm excited for whenever Hanamaru 2 drops. It's an earlier 4:3 era Tinker Bell game, post Shoku, when Aojiru was really hitting his stride. The game sounds like pure comedy with all the H content being purely optional, yet the irony is that it's basically another extreme Inyouchuu game in disguise when it comes to the CG. This one, Kowaku no Toki, and Mouryou no Nie were all top notch after Shoku, and arguably more hardcore than Etsu itself. Also, it features extensive cameos from Ouka and Kikuka, along with perhaps some returning villains.

Famous voice actor Norio Wakamoto (King Britannia from Code Geass, lol) is in it too I'm pretty sure.

And I swear, this has to be undercover Mikoto and Takeru fused.

My reaction to the announcement...

Really fucking stupid in retrospect, but I was judging based on the time between Shin's announcement and its release. I lost my old saves too when my old laptop broke down last year...

Hanamaru 2 felt like a celebration of specifically Aojiru's era of TinkerBell, with the cameos and specific characters. The only exception to this was when Niko, the heroine from Tokusou Tenshi Shellsaver, makes her cameo. Only non-Aojiru character to make an appearance I think.

I remember you were playing it! Jeeze, the 7/2024 timestamp and all.

Maybe like a lot of Tinker Bell games... it's huge and taking JAST a long time. Who knows.
She's super cute... wishing she got the Aojiru "treatment" now haha.

I am just so existed to see more in general. I just every time JAST issues a new release.
