The official NEKO WORKS YouTube channel has just published the opening video to their upcoming visual novel Nekopara Vol. 2 Shimai neko no shukure.

The opening animation in question features lyrics by Yamashita Shinichi and the song “Tokidoki ☆ Kokoro ☆ furebaa” (roughly translated to Heart Pounding Heart Flavor) is sung by Yui Sakakibara. You can watch the adorable, diabetes-inducing opening for Nekopara Vol. 2 just below this paragraph.

Just as we predicted in our last news piece, the story of Nekopara Vol. 2 will focus on Coconut and Azuki this time around, while Vanilla, Chocola and the rest of the Minaduki catgirls will play supporting roles.

As a further treat, the Japanese retailer Getchu has already put the Japanese version of Nekopara Vol. 2 up for pre-order and listed the premiere on February 20th, 2016. The Getchu store includes a normal and deluxe version of the game, with the bonuses of the deluxe version to be revealed a bit later.

The Getchu page was also generous enough to provide a few sample CGs from the game itself. If the opening video didn’t whet your appetite, these certainly will. Yes, some of them are pornographic in nature and they foretell great things to come.

Sekai Project, the English publisher for NEKO WORKS games, did not mention many details about the game’s English language release yet. Given how Vol. 1 and Vol. 0 got almost simultaneous premieres with Japan, we can hope Vol. 2 will receive a similar treatment, with an all-ages version on Steam and an adult version distributed via Denpasoft.

LewdGamer has previously reviewed both Nekopara Vol. 1 and Nekopara Vol. 0, so please give them a read if you’re late to the party, but would still like to partake in some catgirl loving.

Both Vol. 1 and Vol. 0 are also available on Steam for $9.99 and $2.99 respectively, while the adult version of Nekopara Vol. 1 is available for purchase the Denpasoft store for $19.99.
