What perfect timing. Just when I finished playing Lily Platinum, a new SonoHana game is announced~
And as if this wouldn’t be great enough already, it will yet again feature my favorite couple, Eris and Shizuku! This came as a big surprise, since this is the first time a SonoHana couple gets a third installment. And to be honest, if something like that ever happened, I was sure it would rather be about Mai and Reo instead, so this really came as a big surprise.
If I got that correctly, this game will show Eris and Shizuku’s vacation on an island together. Now, doesn’t this already sound like it’s going to be the best game ever?!
Here are the release dates:
- Download version will be available May 23rd
- Hard copies will be released May 31st
For more information, check the Official Website.
And finally, here are some promo pics. Doesn’t this look super promising?

hmmm, isn't it going to take a while for the game to get translated. On the http://listlessink.wordpress.com/sono-hanabira-ni-kuchizuke-wo-series/ website a large amount of Sono Hanabira games are still not translated. That's what keeping me from starting Eris and Shizuku because the second game is not translated.

The second game “Lily Platinum” is fully translated already, only the patch is not done yet.
So I guess, it won't take that long until you can play it.
Basically, you can already play the translated game, and that's also what I did, but I'd recommend you to wait until the final version of the patch it out.
Still you're right, many of the SonoHana games are still not translated and that's no surprise considering the fact that new games are released every few months.
Still I think that at some point, each and every one of them will have a translation.

This means (Grrr) that Runa and Takako will also be returning later on. Oh well, big girl dominating little one scenes should be splendid.

I wouldn't mind if they just skip Runa and Takako and give us some more KaedexSara instead~

Maidens of St Michaels is probably the one game that I want to be translated the most.
I can wait for Flowers, I can wait for this game, but damn, Risa and Miya look great!

Definitely this one.
Shizuku and Eris are perfect and no other pairing can reach their level of cuteness.
But I think my second favorite should be Sara x Kaede or whenever the translation is done, I think I will really like Miya x Risa~

Yuri works are getting released like iPhone updates now; with an amazing lineup combo of Yuri anime and Yuri games increasingly becoming more and more prevalent. On a related note, my fav. pairing for the Sono Hanabira series are Reo x Mai and Ringo x Chiaki of the SH-Tenshi releases; heck, I once even made an email account with Reo and Mai's names in it.
LikeLike
I think Mai x Reo is like the most popular pairing out there, and it's probably not only thanks to their OVA.
But Ringo x Chiaki… Well, not many people know about them, since the game is not translated yet, but that's definitely the first time I hear that.

Just click on the Listlessink link over on the sidebar to the right. From there, go to the Sono Hanabira section and there you'll find the links to download the VN's.
All the links to the translations from that page seem broken, but if you google “petalsgarden”, you can find the translations on the site with the first search result. (The translator(s) ask that people don't link directly to the files.)
I just downloaded and installed 'My Dear Prince' and the English patch as well, and it worked for me. I haven't tried with the other games, however. And I downloaded 'Lily Platinum', but it's not in English or Japanese and I haven't found a way to understand a single thing they're saying. If you understand spoken Japanese, or are only interested in getting to the CGs, I suppose that could be sufficient for you.
I don't really play these much at all, so sorry I can't be more helpful. 😀

Lily Platinum is over on the SonoHana section of listlessink in between Melting Hot Adult Kiss and Maidens of Michael. Not sure if Lena wants the link posted, but she posted it herself in a comment below, so I don't think she'll get me in trouble. 😀

As for “My Sworn Love for You”, I found a link to the CGs, but it's pictures, not video. I'm not sure if she wants me posting a link to that, so if you'd like, you could fill out the Contact Me form over on the sidebar. I'll email you back with it. Also, I found a link to download the VN, but I haven't actually installed it yet (I'm downloading it rn.). It's in 2 parts, and you have to wait 20 minutes between downloads. If you want, I'll give you that too, but I doubt it's translated.

The download works, although it's not translated. But if you just want to see the CGs you could just skip through the text and conversations until you get to them.

You should try it (if you understand Japanese). I actually tried using the Google translator app and took pictures of the Japanese and translated it. But the translations weren't very good and it took me a million years just to get through one scene. So I gave up. Maybe someone on you tube will be kind and post a video of it with subs.

I dont know if anyone else has this problem, but my visual novel reader suddenly stopped working on for my Sono Hana Maidens of Michael. If i try to open the game with the reader a message saying “Hanamika Exe has stopped working. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is found,” The novel works, just not with my translator. I thought about redownloading the game but then i would lose my saved files and im not even sure if it will work. The VN reader works on my Lovers of the Atelier and Shirayuki no Kishi, but not for Maidens of Michael. Does anyone know how to fix it? The name of my Visual novel reader is: Visual Novel Reader.
