That cat’s face in the last panel makes this meme perfect.

It’s not much, I know, but it’s a start.

Hopefully I’ll be able to play SCA-DI’s works (replay H2O for learning, then get on the Subahibi/SakuUta/SakuToki etc.) along with other famous kamiges and great games alike (WA2, Majikoi, etc.) in time.

Longer write-up over here for those curious. Credits to u/Orixa1’s post for the original encouragement, though the creeping censorship in localization certainly helps motivate one.

    In my experience it was a bit easier getting started with Manga than going straight to VNs, though admittedly I’ve only played through one VN so maybe others are easier than the one I’ve tried. If you find VNs overwhelming I definitely recommend giving something like Yotsuba a go. I know a lot of people recommend it so maybe you’re tired of hearing about it, but that’s only because it’s both funny and (relatively) easy.

      I’ve not heard of it before, surprisingly. (The only yotsuba I’m familiar with is 4chan, lol). Thanks for the rec!

        Oh! Well then, I guess I should be more specific; earlier I left off the end of the manga’s name. It’s actually よつばと!. Here’s a good write-up about what makes it a great first manga for a Japanese learner.
