VN - Others - Completed - Majikoi! S [Minato Soft]

There were 2 viable paths for a follow up to the classic action, slice of life comedy Majikoi. Either, you make a continuation for each heroines' routes, or you start over from scratch and make new routes for side girls and maybe add a few new ones. Unfortunately, Minato Soft decided to do BOTH.

The "S" in "Majikoi S" obviously stands for "Sex" with how many H scenes are present. This density seems to be a side affect of bloating the heroine roster while keeping a minimum H scene quota for every girl. Routes are shorter by necessity. For whatever reason, they decided the old girls needed another after story consisting almost entirely of H scenes instead of anything substantial. Sadly, the new heroines barely fair much better. Tsubame and Monshiro are the lucky ones. They get routes comparable to the first Majikoi with nice enough development and an interesting enough plot. Although I really dislike Tsubame, she did at least have an good route which is more than I can say for my poor girl Margit. Margit, Kokoro, and Tatsuko get an H scene laden route, more akin to the after stories.

Route gripes aside, the technical presentation has really been kicked up a notch. Majikoi was already delightfully energetic, being far more visually interesting than most VNs. S is this and so much more with improvements in all visual aspects.

Unfortunately, there is one more far more unforgivable sin that needs to be addressed. For whatever reason, Minato Soft felt the need to make its credits unskippable. More importantly, every version cannot be skipped on first viewing. There's a different version of credits for EVERY SINGLE ROUTE LINE. That's right, there are at least 13 different credit rolls that you have to sit through. That's a total of 65 minutes you'll have to find something else to do as the exact same names roll by!

I have to say, I sound a lot more negative than I feel. Honestly, aside from the credit roll issue, nothing is as bad as the Agave route from the first game. I'd rate it as high as I did the first, but over an hour of credits is where I draw the line.

If you liked the first Majikoi then you will like the sequel, it's effectively the same as the first one but with a larger cast and plenty of routes to pick from.

Lots of H scenes, fun new characters and plenty of choices to make. Only downside is that some of the routes are slightly weaker than the first game.

A sequel to one of the classics. I enjoyed both the original and this sequel as it has continuations to the old heroines as well as new aditions regarding heroines and new characterts. If you consider yourself a VN lover this one as well as the original are must-haves.

This game is not just a sequel to Majikoi, it's more like an expansion of that game. The previous heroines get an after story and the new ones get their own routes like you never romanced anyone previously. This game has so many H scenes that looks more like a nukige. But still nice.

I loved Tatsuko and Margit.

Controversial sequel, i'd agree it's not as great or perfect as the first one but i still loved it, it mainly give route and sex scene for lots of great female side character that didn't get any, it also adds a few good new girls, there is way more different route than the original and i like that.

It has the same amazing level of production value than the original, be it music, writing, art or amount of content it's all outstanding.

It's way less cohesive than the original with how many routes it has but so many of the girl that get a route are amazing waifu so i didn't care, i would recommend it for sure !

Not only is there a ton of content to enjoy, but lots of the content not only introduces characters that could've originally just have been side characters, but also follows through many of the stories that the players went through in the first game. A huge game with lots of routes to enjoy, all of which can be experienced through the fan-discs.
