Hot on the heels of the announcement that the third Flowers yuri visual novel will be arriving soon in physical limited edition and digital form soon, we’ve got some bad news: more physical versions of beloved JAST USA titles are close to selling out, and will not be reprinted. Last time we warned you that both Sonicomi: Communication with Sonico and YOU and ME and HER: a love story (aka Totono) are slated to go out of stock in physical form soon, with digital sales only once the last package editions are gone. Here’s an additional list of more visual novels going out of print!
The games below are down to 20-30 copies in our San Diego warehouse, and they won’t be reprinted once they’re gone. So buy the titles you need ASAP, if you’re a collector of physical games!
First of all, the amazing Starless is going out of print in its gorgeous physically printed form. Get your copy before it becomes digital download only!
Starless is an amazing game in which you accept a job at a mansion, where your duties are to sexually service the women who live there. Sounds like a dream job, right? If you love the artwork of Bible Black creator Sei Shoujo and femdom themes, you need this title!
Buy Starless from J-List here!
While we love the subtle and beautiful stories visual novels can offer, sometimes we just want a good nukige to fap to, and what’s what you get with Bazooka Cafe!
When your father gets sick, you need to take over the family coffee shop. It’s a lot of work, but happily you have four busty girls who work at the shop with you, who are happy to have sex with you whenever you need to let off a little steam!
Buy Bazooka Cafe in physical form before it sells out!
We always try to offer a mix of titles that mirror what games are available from Japan: visual novels, RPGs, games with different kinds of gameplay. One fun strategic hentai game is Pretty Soldier Wars 2048 A.D., which will sell out in physical form soon!
There are nine game levels, and you choose your pretty bio-engineered soldiers before each level, depending on each one’s unique skills. Between every three battles, you get a chance to go on dates with your soldiers to reward them for bravery.
Pretty Soldier Wars 2048 A.D. is almost out of stock in physical form, get it here!
Because we publish so many visual novels, more than we can fit on a dealer’s table at a convention, we started selling 2-in-1 combination packs, which give you two games for the price of one and is great for collectors. This combo set comes was with Idols Galore! as well as Slave Pagent, two fun games for fapping.
In Idols Galore!, you control the careers of three sexy idols. Since you do so much for them, they naturally give back to you by letting you have sex with them whenever you need some attention. It’s a fun game, idol management with sex!
The second title on this disc is Slave Pagent, another harem game in which you become master of the school’s beauty contest, which you turn into a vehicle for your own pleasure. It has a bunch of nice waifus including one with suntan lines!
Get the Idols Galore/Slave Pagent bundle pack before it sells out forever!
We’re also closing out the Yin-Yang!/X-Change 3 bundle pack soon!
Yin-Yang! was one of the most popular of the four X-Change sex change fetish titles, perhaps because it was a stand-alone game and very easy to play through in a few days. It’s a game in which you, the male main character, get changed into a female, and have many sexual adventures. It also offered the best futa action in any game we’ve published.
You also get X-Change 3 for free on this disc. It tells the story of the third time Takuya gets changed into a girl, and offers outstanding erotic stories with all your favorite characters back for more. A great series for any guy who would like to transform into a girl!

Another 2-in-1 game combo that’s going away in physical form soon is Secret Wives Club + Pick Me, Honey!
Secret Wives Club is great, a visual novel in which you become the sexual trainer of three married women who aren’t getting enough sex from their husbands. You can train each girl differently, “hard” or “soft,” using S&M or anal play, and the three girls’ stats will rise and fall depending on what you do with them. Eventually the girls will divorce their husbands and marry you in most endings.
Pick Me, Honey! is another fun game that you get for free, a nukige (sex-focused visual novel) that you will love playing. I’d say it’s the best of the classic VNs released by D.O. and G-Collections.
Hate visual novels going out of print? So do we, especially because it means fans won’t be able to buy Kana Okaeri, the total remake of Kana Imouto, soon. This version comes with Sensei 2 included free, and will sell out soon!
Kana Okaeri (“Welcome Home, Kana”) is a game about you falling in love with your sister, but it’s more than that. As Kana becomes sicker and you both realize you might be parted from each other forever, there’s nothing to stop you both from reaching our and finding each other before the end. It’s a fabulous game with many twists and turns — and no, the true ending isn’t what you’re thinking. This total remake adds improved high-res graphics, full voice, and animated H scenes.
You also get Sensei 2, a fun game with lots of sexy scenes and drama by skilled artist Hirohisa Onikubo. When your childhood friend Kumiko becomes a teacher at your school and becomes engaged to a teacher you hate, you decide to take her virginity before her fiancee can have it. Sounds good to us!
Get the Kana Okaeri/Sensei 2 combo pack before it sells out forever!
Why Are Physical Visual Novels Going Out of Print?
As the world moves from face-to-face purchases at physical anime shops or conventions and towards digital sales, and the number of fans who consider themselves collectors of physical visual novels declines every year. The more convenient instant download of 100% uncensored games from JAST USA or censored-with-uncensor-patch-available titles from Steam is the model the world has adapted moving forward, and J-List and JAST USA have to respond to these changes.
Going forward, we expect that all games will receive a limited edition release of about 500 copies as we did with Totono, then switching to digital sales only. This means that if you want to get a physical copy, you can, but you’ll need to make sure to buy before our stock runs out!
Please keep in mind that not only are the titles above, but all physical releases of English-translated visual novels from J-List are likely going to go out of print in the coming months and years. This means that if you’ve been waiting to complete your collection of certain titles, you should do it sooner rather than later.
