At Anime Expo 2018 JAST USA made the announcement the Yuri Nation had been waiting a very long time for.
WARNING! Ete is set immediately after the events of the True Ending to FLOWERS -Le Volume sur Printemps- so it is highly recommended to play that game first.
First of all the release date: July 16th, 2018.
Second, the Limited Edition can be pre-ordered at JAST USA’s Store.
Third, plans to translate FLOWERS 3 -Le Volume sur Automme- are already set.
In a perfect world FLOWERS 3 would come out this Fall but it is best not to rush things. Instead let us all thank Meru-Meru BomBom for her hard work. Why am I already praising her work if we have yet to see her translation work? Because I know full well she is a trooper who guarandamntees high quality translation work. Basically should there be any issues with FLOWERS 2’s release I assure readers it will have nothing to do with the translation.
Here is a refresher on what to expect from FLOWERS 2. Again FLOWERS 1 SPOILER WARNING!
Plot Summary:
Summer has arrived early to Saint Angraecum Academy, and with it comes change.
Since the sudden disappearance of one of her Amitié partners at the end of spring, Suoh Shirahane has been left nursing a profound sadness. Though she tries to hide it, Suoh’s pain does not go unnoticed by her close companion, Erika Yaegaki, who feels compelled to help her ‘bookworm buddy’ mend her broken heart.
In the midst of all this a new classmate, Chidori Takasaki, arrives, disrupting Erika’s solitary lifestyle. To say that the two of them get off on the wrong foot would be an understatement, but Erika soon learns there’s more to Chidori than meets the eye. Can friendship blossom between a sharp-tongued misanthrope and the haughty class diva?

It does look stunning. Is the first one similar in style?

It’s identical. Same visual artist, same team I believe. This is actually a four part VN series – spring, summer, winter, fall. All four have been released in Japan. I was hoping the whole series would get translated so we could get the whole story.

Ah, that makes sense. I’m actually still yet to play a visual novel. Is this likely a good series to jump in with?

If you’re new to yuri VNs I’d recommend Kindred Spirits On The Roof or Highway Blossoms. They’re both on Steam. HB is the shorter of the two if you just want to try one out and see if VNs are your thing or not.

Highway Blossoms is one I’ve had my eye on for a while now, actually. A you’re the second person to recommend Kindred Spirits to me too, so thank you for that.

Like Apricot said it’s a four part series so all four games have this presentation. As the post says translation for the third game is already set. Hopefully the fourth game won’t be far behind.

You’d hope so, wouldn’t you? If there are four aprts and three are underway, it’d be a shame if the fourth didn’t end up arriving too.

This is great news. For anyone who hasn’t played these, they’re really great; I usually find all-ages Yuri VNs waaay too subtexty, but I love Flowers.

Of course I have as well, really excellent ones. I just like to see the girls explicitly “seal the deal” in some way, and there are ways to do that beyond sex obviously, but that’s generally the most straightforward option in my mind (just being honest!)

Excellent news. I’ve been waiting to hear when the next game would be translated ever since I finished the first one. And it looks like we’ll be getting the whole series as well. 2018 has been such a great year for yuri. Can it get any better than this?

This is a great news! I just finished the first game and second is almost ready. I have to admit, it was a great experience. One of the best Yuri VN I played, and I played a lot of them. Hovewer, one thing I disliked is the “case solving” part. It was waaaaay to hard for me, so I was forced to play “save-load” game, which is not the best way to play games. Still, it is a fantastic game and I would recommend it to any Yuri fan.

As an fyi to anyone who plans to buy this, don’t wait. Not only do they offer 10% off on pre-orders, orders of $40 or more can get $10 off for just the next few days, and these stack. You’ll have to add something to your order (the game is $39.95, so a small snack bag will do), but I came out paying less than the price of the game in the end, even after shipping was included.

With the box of the first one sitting on my shelf, I’ve been waiting quite some time for this, and I pre-ordered it a few days ago. Here’s to hoping that all four parts will make it to the west eventually!
