KimiNozo Returns with Crowdfunding Campaign, But There's a Catch
By Yung Namahage • 1 year ago


Another classic eroge is set to make a comback including its first official English release, thanks to the magic of crowdfunding. 


Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, also known as KimiNozo for short and localised as Rumbling Hearts, is a VN originally released in 2001 from developers âgeIt follows high schooler Takayuki Narumi as his life becomes entangled between 8 different girls, each with their own scenario. It's been adapted as a series of novels, radio show and anime, has its own set of spin-offs, and is also set in the same universe as âge's Muv-Luv series and their previous title Kimi ga Ita Kisetsu. While it was originally released on PC, Dreamcast and PS2, it never saw an official release outside Japan, but that could be set to change soon.


aNCHOR have announced a new version of KimNozo, based on the 2008 Kimi ga Nozomu Eien: Latest Edition rerelease that featured improved artwork and additional scenes, but removed the adult content from the original release. So unfortunately, you won't be able to play the original version in English just yet. Still, the campaign is set to launch on October 21, and is looking to raise ¥30,000,000 (around US$201,000) by Devember 29.
