This week’s header image comes from this week’s lone release: The Bell Chimes for Gold (Steam)
VNTS (Visual Novel Translation Status Updates Series) is published each Saturday and brings the latest updates from VN translation projects — both licensed and by fans — from around the net. If you find any errors, or you think a project is missing from this list, please let us know in the comments.
From The Team: It’s been a chaotic period in my life the last few months, and unfortunately it’s spilled over and affected my ability to reliably do VNTS posts each week. What’s worse: I’ve done a poor job communicating with the rest of the team, and I’m sure it’s been frustrating for them. This especially-crazy period is only going to last until June, after which I hope things calm down. I just want to thank everyone for their patience and for continuing to come each week (or whenever we actually post updates). All the best, – Tay.

Quite a belated VNTS we got there, although perhaps real life was quite an issue there. I understand, and hopefully you’ll managed to get through of the hard weeks. Anyway, here’s my VNTS review for today and enjoy.

Hey, take care of yourself and don’t worry about these being late. I’d prefer that you be okay and alive than have these on time, y’know?
Stay strong!
As always, thank you for you hard fork on putting together these updates.
I realized that you never mentioned Detective Masochist 2 which has already been released on both Nutaku and Mangagamer.

Just thought i’d inform you..
The AO version of The Bell Chimes for Gold is available on Denpasoft. According to the game’s creator, the all ages and adult versions are different versions of the game and have entirely different scenes, outcomes, etc.
I fully understand how busy life can get Tay. After high school I increasingly found it difficult to contribute to Fuwa.
So I can say, from the bottom of my heart, that I really really appreciate all the work you and your team do.
It doesn’t matter if it take 2 or 3 weeks I’ll still be here.
Keep up the good work Tay. Stay blessed.
