Here’s a name we thought we wouldn’t hear again after a while: OniiKiss. If you need a refresher, let me assist you. OniiKiss was a very wholesome visual novel, that we even took a look at, developed by Tinkle Position and published by then up and coming publisher Sol Press. It was a refreshing story full of family friendly fun, it even left me hoping that we’d get the sequel in the near future. That didn’t happen. What ended up happening was something much more horrid, the CEO of Sol Press up and tried to run off with all the money. Money that also included royalties for Tinkle Position’s wholesome title. In NekoNyan’s detailed blog post on the matter, they confirm that Sol Press never provided any royalties owed to the hardworking developers. As someone that admires Tinkle Position’s work, this is disheartening to hear.
The question now turns to what’s next. In this blog post, NekoNyan confirms they’ve had talks with Tinkle Position and properly re-licensed the title. They’ll be making minor adjustments to the original localization with approval from the remaining original staff. Then there’s the release to talk about. Onii-Kiss – Onii-chan Where’s My Kiss will be back on all on storefronts it was originally on. This includes JAST, Fakku, Denpasoft, and even adding MangaGamer with more in the future. A Steam release will be highly unlikely as Valve banned the initial release. Anyone looking to purchase this family friendly title can do so at a cheaper price than originally shipped. More details at the release tomorrow. For now, a sigh of relief as one of the more heartwarming releases is in good hands. To the CEO that wronged his staff, the company’s fans, and the hardworking developers overseas, I hope you rot.

So what’s this cute game about?
“Onii-chan, let’s kiss a whole lot today, okay?”
I was still a child when I noticed something was off about our house rules.
Perhaps thanks to the influence of our mother, the kiss demon, my four sisters and I would take pretty much any excuse we could to share a kiss.
Good morning kisses, goodnight kisses, and of course, kisses before picking up a call or going to the bathroom.
Since they were all girls and I was the only man in the house, the rules said they had to kiss me.
But one day, I was forced to move to a separate house in order to study.
My sisters were supposed to bring me a late-night snack to help me focus on my studies, but when the time came to decide who would do it, strife ensued.
Thanks to that, a new house rule was introduced:
“The one who gets the most kisses today gets to bring Onii-chan his snack!”
And so, the sweetness of my kiss-filled life with my precious little sisters grew a little more intense.
Would this be the start of a new stage in our loving family life? Would I deepen my bond with one of them, or…?
