April 2025

Hatsuyuki Sakura was a game I have been waiting to be translated for 11 years, ever since I saw a video about it on YouTube. After finishing it, I can wholeheartedly say it was well worth the time I spent waiting for it, whether it be the characters, story, or music everything was amazing. If I had to mention any complaints it would be there not being side heroine routes for 2 of the girls, but asides from that I have nothing to complain about. I loved this visual novel, and hope that others can experience the joy I felt from experiencing this vn.

March 2025

I went in blind, never expecting much about this game. I expected slice of life/comedy; I got sadness as a result. Either way, don't read this if you're expecting a laugh. I mean, there are a lot of funny scenes, but they're not the focus in this game. Readers might get turned off/annoyed by the main character, but I think he has decent character development. Although the pacing is out of place, Aya and Sakura's route made me appreciate the true ending even more. I really enjoyed this one.

Dec. 2024

A sombre and touching story about Kawano Hatsuyuki, a man consumed by the vengeance of those that have departed to raze this city, ripe with the scent of burning flowers, to the ground. The heroines’ routes are well written with interesting build ups to each of their eventual romance. It not only tells us about their burdens they carry but builds upon the overarching plot that spans across the entire game. The BGM used for HatsuSaku fits well with the theme of the game with some soundtracks that really stand out even among modern VNs. Small issue with the story would feel out of sync if you play the heroines randomly as the way they present their routes is with chapter numbers and you’ll see them jumping around non chronologically. You’ll unlock more heroines as you progress through each one but my recommended route order would definitely be: Prologue > Start > Aya > Yoru > Shirokuma > Nozomu > Final A game with an excellent cast of characters and an ending that’s sure to leave you in tears satisfied. I highly recommend Hatsuyuki Sakura. White Graduation!

Dec. 2024

Very engaging VN with interesting concepts and a fun SoL/bantering between the protagonist and the heroines with music that is just Chief kiss If you played Kinkoi you know saga planet shtick and why hatsuyuki Sakura is a must read

Dec. 2024

A pretty good game especially if we consider the low number of winter-themed visual novels in general. People like comparing it to Key (no wonder when Key itself would hire the scenario writer and composer later), but I suggest giving it a chance even if you don't vibe with Key that much because HatsuSaku quickly introduces its mysteries and melancholic mood without requiring you to read hours of slice of life scenes. Its structure is different, and it influences your impression. I mean, the game still has a ton of funny moments, but it's almost always serious at the same time with sad music playing on the background and some twists happening Overall I had a lot of fun with HatsuSaku. I enjoyed Niijima's humor, Hatsuyuki was a badass protagonist, and serious moments kept me waiting for more
