This isn’t a new announcement, but it’s one many are awaiting!
At the time of this article, there was yet to be a final release date, but we’re editing it now to announce that it has finally been confirmed: the game is releasing on April 30th.
NekoNyan is working on bringing Purple Software’s Aoi Tori to English, and it’s releasing on Steam, MangaGamer, JAST USA, and Kagura Games.
Aoi Tori is a mystery nakige, within the same setting as Amatsutsumi, which got translated by Denpasoft & Sekai Project.
On April 11th (2023), a fan patch was released by Feng Xin zhi Xi, which completely uncensors all H-scenes. This patch is based on the 1.03 version of the game, which also works for the Chinese fan translation. You can download it on KFPRomax, Tieba, or Southplus.
However, it should be noted that this is done through AI.
The Story
November, the start of winter.
Kirihara Academy for Girls, a missionary boarding school located in the remote Japanese mountains. It’s here we find our protagonist, Shiratori Ritsu, the sole male allowed on campus and the school priest.
He has the power to bring bliss to those he touches, and that ability is enhanced if the contact is sexual in nature. Never once has he set foot outside the academy grounds, which protect him from demons lusting after him. But the girls of this academy come to him, believing he’s their guardian angel, and he obliges.
For he is burdened by the death of a girl, which strengthened his resolve to make others happy.
This constant mix of the holy and the sinful has him just barely holding onto his sanity. And the sudden arrival of a new girl raises the curtain on a whole new story. For she is the one hundred year old vampire, Mary Harker.
However, her infiltration of the academy brings with it another surprise… Namely, a phone call from the devil.
Can these powers of his truly bring joy to people’s hearts? For what reason was he born?
This is a tale of life, woven into prayer.
In Porting Hell
The game was initially announced on March 30th (2021), which shocked the entire VN community. The progress was at 30% translated and TLC-ed, while porting was still in progress.
One year later, on January 17th (2022), there’s the update that the porting to Unity is still ongoing, while everything else (translation, TLC, and editing) is completed. There’s even a meme that Vic (the programmer) is still alive.
During later industry panels on anime cons (May 21st 2022 at Anime Central; October 29th 2022 at Otakon), we are kept in the same place: Unity port still in progress.
Last year on the official Purple Software Discord server, an user asked Ishikawa (the producer) about the game’s Steam release. Ishilawa stated that NekoNyan would complete it soon, but that it had been delayed for a while and there couldn’t be more waiting. The deadline for this release is now April 2024; otherwise, they’ll be forced to cut relations with NekoNyan. In other words, they’ll take the license away.
The day after, NekoNyan staff Kiriya stated that the process of porting to Unity itself was a mess that they had to abandon. Now with a close deadline, they are forced to release the game with the original engine.
That brings us to the present, where we are finally closing in! It’s finally April, where the results will speak for themselves.

“No, it’s my confession that is pathetic. Amen.”
The protagonist of this story. He attends an all-girls school where he also serves as the resident priest, even though he’s a boy.
