The protagonist and all the characters are Japanese High School age appropriate for summer break. That means they're all 16-18.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickSo tht's not pedo pandering. Is it porn?
While I haven't played it myself, going by the page and what everyone with more in-depth knowledge has said so far, the sex scenes are pretty much confined to the endings. It seems to qualify as "gay romance with a few explicit scenes".

I say go for it if its the only way to change a vote.

Correct.
Hm, with all this in mind, would it be cool if I zap and re-flag this work? Keeping my devilhead vote just wouldn't be right; that was one time that I wasn't being fair.
Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.Wait, where the sex scenes are doesn't matter. It matters if acquiring them is the point of the game. Is it?

As I under stand it the game is a vn, And playing a vn is a lot like reading a book.
So the point is to enjoy the story.

No. Because if there's only one at the end of an hours-long game, then that game is not porn, it just has sex.

^^^ Would you watch a movie that took you a week to finish if all you wanted to see was the sex scene at the end? That's basically what it amounts to.

Komodin's vote has been changed to an angel head. No reason to zap this.

... >_> <_< *cough* I mean, I am grateful to you for the actions you have to taken to help this work keep this page.
woohoo!
On the report, that would be 2-1. Not yet completely safe.

Just for point of reference, who voted against and when?
I'll hide your name inside a word and paint your eyes with false perception.We can't know who, and I'm hesitant to pressure anybody to reveal their decision. It's safe to say, however, that that devilhead has been sitting there a loooooooooong time. Long before we got feedback.

Based on the feedback given in the thread, and that the images I've GIS'd up have not given the appearance of pedo-pandering, I'll vote angel for this work.
However if the complete game ends up being more porny or pandery, I won't mind re-reviewing. For now it doesn't seem to meet those criteria.
From the sounds of things, this looks like a "keep and clean", which is the status I'll put unless the other panel members feel a lock is necessary.

Visit my contributor page to assist with the "I Like The Cheeses" project!Maybe keep, clean, and lock?
What's GIS?
Since I didn't get any objections from the other P5 members, I went ahead and did this. The page needs to be cleaned up of any gushing over sexual elements and incorrect shotacon references, but otherwise can stay for now.
Anything else need to be added before this thread is locked up?
Visit my contributor page to assist with the "I Like The Cheeses" project!No objections here.
I'll be using this handle as well so that I can make cleanup easier.
Okay, I'm going to post the request in the P5 clean up thread in Special Efforts to make it official, so if you have any issues or questions with your cleanup effort post them there.
Hollering for a lock.

The protagonist of Morenatsu is himself a highschooler. Him having sex with a 16-year-old isn't paedophilia.
EDIT: Actually, looking through the main page and the character profile, I realise that the protagonist's age isn't mentioned anywhere. I still assume that he's a high school student, because the game is about summer vacation and all the potential love interests appear to be 16-17 years old (and the game's page on Wiki Fur refer to the love interests as the protagonist's "childhood friends", which would imply a similar age). Still, I'm no longer 100% on this. If anyone has firm information about the protagonist's age, it would be very valuable.
