For the low price of $20, I bought the steam translated version of Rewrite Harvest Festa. This game was released in Japan in 2012. It's taken 13 years to translate this key work into English. A newborn could become a teenager in the same time as it took to see the ending to Kotori's route. I waited, and waited, and waited for this day, to learn more about mai waifu, everything I could about her.
The wait was well worth it. The new Kotori content is magnificent, earnest, heartfelt, down to Earth and beautiful. (Be sure to select both available options, the fallout from the second one is quite a bit longer than the first). I hardly care about the rest of the visual novel. All I ever wanted was to see this Kotori route. Now I can officially declare that nothing in '100 Waifus' is incongruous with the Kotori storyline written by the original authors. They're married in '100 Waifus,' and married in Harvest Festa. It all checks out.
I can also say that the divine guidance of providence still hasn't erred -- my initial impression that Kotori was one of the 100 greatest girls/romances imaginable was dead on.
If you buy Harvest Festa, be sure to also download the free patch from Sekai Project that restores the original Japanese version to the Lucia route. The patch can be found via a link at the visual novel database website. Apparently to the very end America tried to screw us out of Rewrite, but justice prevailed.
Now I just need a Kud Wafter translation and my key waifus will be fully covered. There is a group working on it, and it's the same reliable group who translated Summer Pockets, so this shouldn't be an impossibility. It too should happen eventually, even if it too takes decades.
Between Heaven Burns Red, the Summer Pockets anime and Rewrite Harvest Festa 2025 is becoming entirely about key works. I don't mind one bit. I honestly can't imagine a better use of someone's time.
