Thanks for checking it out. Hopefully it does end up being more than a 90% success rate, but if you do end up getting more time to check more titles, do let me know! 
If it is lacking on the visual novel front, we could have VNDB as a backup, but that’s a last resort.
Sorry that it took me so long but I was super busy. I checked 33 visual novels from my back log and only found 11 on that site. Also the search on that site is pretty bad. It seems that site may not be that great for visual novels.
Eesh, that’s really bad 
Do you mind dm’ing me your vn backlog? Or a vndb profile if you have one? Would help quite a bit.
Thanks for going through those and checking for them. It seems we may have to use vndb after all.
Actually I didn’t even know that you could create an account and track your collection on vndb. Okay I created an account there but it may take a while for me to add everything to my collection. Once I’m done I will send you a link to my profile.
Hey folks! The Christmas Tina club has shrunk a fair bit, and I asked the other 3 members that were still there last week - none of us are interested in reading Higurashi. So if you want to start it much earlier (maybe vote on it to see if the other interested people are available right now?) there’s no need to wait for us to finish!
I have more than enough on my plate rn, so I’m fine waiting personally
Okay let’s vote on that.
Pm sent.
It’s decided we will start Higurashi in March.
Another thing shouldn’t we maybe change the club’s name to something else. The problem is people in Japan don’t even know what you mean when you talk about visual novels. In Japan they are just called adventure game or adv.
I don’t see the relevance, and think it would be way more confusing to use either of those terms here. Adventure Game has a broader/different meaning in English. The demographic here isn’t native Japanese speakers.
If you really want to change it, may just add / アドベンチャゲーム before Reading Club
I don’t understand… how is that a problem for the club’s name? What would changing the club’s name achieve?
Most of the time when I see VNs mentioned in jp media they’re usually called ノベルゲー or エロゲ if its an 18+ title. Most of the Japanese people I’ve talked know exactly what I mean by visual novel too (although maybe they picked it up by being in eng communities). I agree with what everyone said above though, changing the name would probably confuse more people.
Are you guys done your current VN? I own it on Steam but don’t want to jump into the middle of it, haha
Gotcha, thanks！I’ll probs join in with Higurashi ：）
Been meaning to check out Higurashi, can’t wait!!
Is there a start date for Higurashi?
Is anyone playing higurashi on the switch? I can only seem to find physical copies when searching online, I can’t find it in the shop 
I’m not in Japan so maybe that’s the difference?
Maybe try switching your region to Japan in the settings? No guarantee it will let you buy it tho.
I’ll be playing off a physical copy (which was ordered from Japan). Suruga-ya has them pretty cheap: Nintendo Switch Software WHEN THEY CRY | Game | Suruga-ya.com and they do free shipping pretty often (a few weekends each month, it seems)
Looks like you’ll have to buy it from the Japanese eShop (on a Japanese eShop account you set up):
Your switch can be logged into multiple accounts and easily switch through them, and you can get eShop cards to pay for the game from play-asia.com.
I’ve had luck buying digital downloads from Amazon, but you will still need to have a Japanese eShop account to redeem it, but you can play it on any other Switch account on the console.
