Tsurezurescans has released a translation patch for the prologue/trial of Tone Work’s first visual novel title Hatsukoi 1/1.

Translation group Tsurezurescans has picked up the translation for Tone Work’s moege visual novel Hatsukoi 1/1. Their first patch release translates the game’s prologue/trial version. One interesting aspect of the game is that a large component of the game involves sending a receiving text messages through your phone in-game, which was a prominent feature in the acclaimed visual novel Steins;Gate. The patch not only contains translations for the dialogue and UI interface but for the phone interface and text messages as well.

The group plans to continue and translate the full game, although they are undecided on whether or not they will release an updated patch every time they finish one of the heroine’s routes.

For your reading pleasure, below you will find the game’s character info, OP, synopsis, sample CGs, and where to obtain the game and patch.

###Characters Katagiri Yuuma Although not well known in class, he isn’t someone with no presence at all, just a high school junior you can find anywhere. Being nosy and having bad luck are his main traits. Sometimes he regrets his school life. Fujikawa Runa Freshman student at Hoshioka Gakuen. An acquaintance of the protagonist and Yukino from their childhood, she holds the protagonist in high regard due to the fact he was very kind to her then. She feels like she is mature now, and is planning on having the protagonist fall in love with her, but the result is that she failed to create any significant effect. Due to her lack of feminine charms, she can be pretty cranky, so she is indulged with random knowledge all day long, and is looking for ways to improve her charm. Makabe Midori Hoshioka Gakuen student council president. Like from a manga, she is an honor student with no faults that portrays upright behavior. Gentle yet awe-inspiring, she is admired by all the students. Grew up in a very strict family environment, part time jobs, cell phone and love are all strictly prohibited. Although she feels that studying and student council work are very substantial, she often feels like she has yet to experience an ordinary and fun school life. Morino Yukino The protagonist’s childhood friend and a lover of shoujo manga. She has unique gentle qualities, and makes the people around her feel warm. Because she is a such a cute and gentle girl, her popularity with the boys are very high, and everyone is jealous of the protagonist who shares a desk with her in class. The rumors of them dating is pretty widespread. Although she cannot confirm her feelings clearly, when her relationship with protagonist as lovers are denied, even if its true, she feels very sad. In short, she is in a delicate state. Tokizaki Maya Junior student at Hoshioka Gakuen and the protagonist’s classmate, a standard coodere. Being late and leaving early are common for her, recognized by the protagonist and everyone else as a bad student. Her classmates keeps their distance from her, but she herself does not seem to mind. When she was young, she was an actress under the stage name of “Misaki Maya” and has had roles in several movies and TV shows. She was regarded as genius child actress. She does not mention her actress past, nor does she allow anyone to ask. Tsukishima Kyou Junior student at Hoshioka Gakuen and the protagonist’s classmate. Kyou was the ace of the basketball club, but because she was busy helping out at home, her club activities have been put on hold. She is a very lively and cheerful girl and will do anything that comes to mind with impunity. In addition, she is friendly with both genders which often causes misunderstandings. Her family runs a pizza delivery shop. Once pizza is mentioned, she will talk nonstop, but be warned… if someone shows contempt towards pizza in front of her, she will go ballistic. While she likes making fun of the protagonist, she also lets him work at the pizza shop.

Yuuma is a second year student at the prestigious public school Hoshioka Gakuen. It is known for offering a fulfilling school life, but he has yet to experience love and spends his days lacking any satisfaction. He hasn’t made any progress with his classmates nor his osananajimi. All he can do is look at his love interest, the student council leader Midori, from a distance. One day, he saw her with a troubled face. It seemed that the remaining members of the school cafeteria improvement committee had resigned. After giving it some thought, he volunteered to lead the committee. After that fateful moment, his surroundings became a lot more lively and before long, his first love had blossomed.
