Muv Luv Altered Fable made me cuckoo for Kashiwagi. Her banter with Tucker-kun was the cutest in the game, on par with Extra. And believable, too. My fake normie queen cannot be this cute! Not to mention their h-scenes being the hottest by a cunny mile
>Aquaplus President and Key Co-Founder Justify Censorship as Vital for Global Market Reach and Revenue https://archive.fo/lTizR <“With the Japanese market shrinking, Steam’s massive global player base is crucial,” Shimokawa explained. He pointed out that Japan’s once-strong visual novel market is in decline, forcing companies like Aquaplus and Key to sanitize themselves for international sales. <Shimokawa remains defiant in principle, even if reality demands compromise. When discussing the ToHeart remake, he made it clear that the core emotion “the bittersweetness of youth” was more important than following trends like making protagonists more mild-mannered. “If we made them milder, it wouldn’t be ToHeart,” he argued, drawing inspiration from Steven Spielberg’s regret over editing E.T. <To make matters worse, Nintendo of America has begun systematically blocking Japanese titles from the Switch simply for containing suggestive imagery, whether it’s a bath scene, implying nudity or even a simple kiss.
