A U.S.-centric take on how to localize Japanese high school classes in a way that is intelligible for readers familiar with 4-year high school systems.

The first of a four-part in-depth analysis of the script of May Sky, one of the best of the 31 visual novel localizations to come out of al|together. A lonely newly-minted salary man meets a mercurial teenage shrine maiden…

Now in the latter stretch of my project to review nearly 30 freeware Japanese visual novels translated in 2005, 2006, and 2008 - I cover Flood of Tears. This is one of the better ones (in my view) thanks to the strong rapport between two of its three main characters. It has distinct Kanon vibes (FOTS was originally published in 2001), but it is an all-ages affair. While it has its flaws, I concur with the translators that it has a great amount of heart -- and it is one of the better al|together VNs of the 18 I have reviewed to date.

(Note for Linux users: I explain how to run the Windows .exe for FOTS natively on Linux using ONScripter-EN in the post.)
