Anime Announced: Yosuga no Sora

YoU — Sun, 23 May 2010 02:46:16 +0000

Yosuga no Sora (ヨスガノソラ (縁の空), subtitle: In solitude where we are least alone.) is a Galgame produced by Sphere back in 2008, featuring two great illustrators Hiro Suzuhira (鈴平ひろ) and Takashi Hashimoto (橋本タカシ). The information of the series’ being made into Anime came from the cover of the latest Manga. To be frankly, the series is not really an attraction to me, especially after reading the Manga (haven’t tried the game before). The story is plain and hopeless and cannot compared with most of the series in April. The female protagonist in Manga is Sora (春日野穹). Not sure about the Anime. The only highlight in the series, to me, is the Artworks by the two outstanding illustrators. But anyway, I should not talk about how much I am disappointed before watching the Anime that hasn’t existed. Just have a little faith in it and hope the story won’t be screwed up half way. Check out the official website (18+) for more.

Merchandises: In solitude, where we are least alone

In solitude, where we are least alone (ヨスガノソラ / Yosuganosora) is an interesting Galgame featured by two excellent illustrators, Hiro Suzuhira (鈴平ひろ/Circle: HEART WORK) and Takashi Hashimoto (橋本タカシ/Circle: EXCLAMATION). Some friends who have tried the games turned out to be various in opinions.

Despite all those different voices outside, the artwork of the game is outstanding. You may want to check out the artbook of the limited version of the game (not for sale), or some attractive merchandises showed in the stores of Tokyo.

Very cute swim suit, scroll down to the end of the post to get this Stick Poster.

The stick posters included in the limited game box.

Another bed sheet and drama CD.

3D Mouse Pad

You may have already seen the artbook of the Bishoujo game In solitude, where we are least alone (ヨスガノソラ). And now we have the latest 3D mouse pads for the game, illustrated by Hiro Suzuhira and Takashi Hashimoto.

There’re two of them as a set, one is Kazuha Migiwa (渚一葉, on the left) and other Sora Kasugano (春日野穹, on the right), the sister of the protagonist. There’s no big Opai but the normal ones, even smaller may be. The Kazuha Migiwa one, which is illustrated by Hiro Suzuhira, has a heigt of 30mm (M size) while Sora Kasugano which is illustrated by Takashi Hashimoto has a height of 23mm (S size), and you can now tell me the difference if you own a 3D mouse pad ^^

Both will be released on February 26th. You can >preorder at HOBBY STOCK.

If you’re really evil, you can compare the size and find more merchandises >here.

Artbook Release: In solitude, where we are least alone.

YoU — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 22:34:15 +0000

I was following this game right from the first. The company named Sphere, released it’s latest galgame In solitude, where we are least alone. (ヨスガノソラ/Yosuganosora) which is illustrated by the two illustrators that I loved so much, Hiro Suzuhira (鈴平ひろ/Circle: HEART WORK) and Takashi Hashimoto (橋本タカシ/Circle: EXCLAMATION).

Actually I don’t play galgame simply because it costs lots of time and I got handy works to do. However, in another of myself I really wanna have a try, not just because of those excellent graphics and CGs, but all those 2D world you can never expect to happen in the 3D world.

The artbook of this galgame is included in the limited version of the game and it’s unavailable for sale. Apart from the artbook, seven stick posters are included and they’re all huge (about 4,000×12,000px) and I’m sure that you’ll never wanna miss them.
