Do you prefer receiving your visual novels in a box rather than as a digital install file? Although not the case for many of their visual novel releases, international visual novel publisher MangaGamer does offer hardcopy collections for select titles. During Anime Central (ACEN) this weekend, the publisher confirmed they have four more sets on their way.
The sets will cover four previously released titles: Beat Blades Haruka, euphoria, Kindred Spirits on the Roof and Kara no Shojo 2. These sets will come with a disc copy of the game, and some will also come with a limited edition wallscroll. Pre-orders are now open, and will begin shipping out from July 1st.
More information on each title can be found below:
Beat Blades Haruka
Takamaru Ikusabe, a boy attending Jippou Academy, was living a peaceful life in pursuit of love, despite constant cockblocking by his landlord’s daughter, Narika Shihoudou. One day, Takamaru encountered a girl who captured his heart at first sight. Her name was Haruka Takamori.
That night, Takamaru and Narika were attacked by a mysterious group of ninjas. The one who saved them from the crisis was none other than Haruka, wearing kunoichi gear.
Haruka called Takamaru her master and asked him to perform sexual acts with her. It turned out that Takamaru was the young master of a heroic ninja clan known as the Crescent Moons, and via sex, he had the ability to provide a supernatural energy called Sex Power (SP).
Haruka obtained some SP from Takamaru and managed to fight off the ninjas, but that was only the beginning of a long and arduous battle.

Euphoria
Waking up in a stark white room, with nothing but your clothes and collar around your neck. The door beeps, opens, and you have seconds to decide whether to move on or not.
As you enter the new room, you six other girls–girls you know–and a computerized voice begins to explain the little ‘game’ you’re all about to be forced to play. When one girl refuses to comply, you all reawaken just in time to watch her be murdered before your eyes.
Withdrawal from the game will result in death,” the electronic voice states, coldly, mechanically, with no hint of emotion. Your only choice in order to survive is to choose from the girls presented before you–and violate them. Failure means death. Forfeit means death.
Can you escape this torturous ‘game’ with your sanity intact? What awaits after this torturous trial?

Kindred Spirits on the Roof
– Let’s Make This a Yuritopia! –
Kokonotsuboshi Girls’ Academy of Commerce, a school built on the site of an old castle, known as “Shirojo.” Toomi Yuna spends her time here on her own, until one day her lunch on the roof is suddenly interrupted by a pair of ghosts.
Enoki Sachi, who died in an accident before the war, and Nagatani Megumi, who died of illness thirty years ago. These “kindred spirits” died with unrequited feelings in their hearts, met, and fell in love. They hold an ardent wish to experience their “first time” together before their eternal rest. …But they don’t know how.
The two haunting spirits enlist Yuna to help them foster more “yuri” couples at the school, to assist girls struggling with their hidden feelings, and with the hope that their successes will help them glean the insight they need.

Kara no Shojo 2
In the period known as “pre-war,” when Japan was taking its first steps into conflict… In the snowy mountains of the west, there is a settlement called Hitogata. In this place, with its strange custom of worshipping a clay doll called Hinna-sama, a woman is killed on the night of a festival. The villagers unanimously refer to this incident as “Hinna-sama’s Curse.” They say that she was cursed for worshipping Hinna-sama despite being unworthy.

It’s been almost two years since Kuchiki Toko was abducted from her hospital room. Tokisaka Reiji’s sister, Yukari, saves a man attempting to commit suicide. The man is a victim of “Hinna-sama’s Curse,” which has resurfaced in the present… Tokisaka Reiji acts to sever the delusions that span the war. All the while carrying his own delusions about Toko in his heart…
At the same time, a religious group that was thought to have disbanded six years ago begins to move again. What could it be scheming? Even if Heaven brings down a curse, it is human hands that enact it.
