This is a pretty good Visual Novel that I would recommend to anyone who likes Key works. Its pretty short as well.

What!? A Key VN officially available in English? I never thought I'd see the day.

Looks like it's time for me to finally upgrade to a smartphone. Very Happy

It's a kinetic novel. Laughing

$4 for Planetarian? Hell, I don't have anything that uses iOS but I'll buy it just to show some love for English Planetarian. An abslutely wonderful short story that I re-read every year.

Ah, yes, Planetarian.

Not available on Android? Shame.

I highly recommend this VN. It's not too long, there's no erotic stuff (you can play it anywhere), and it's a (legit) English release! Has any other Key title been released in English?

Just purchased this what a great visual novel from Key. I hope this game gets support and releases of official English translations becomes a trend.

You really should reconsider that argument.

Planetarian is one of the best Kinetic Novels around, just like minori's Eden. Plus, for a Visual Novel from Key to get officially translated to english, even if just for iOS, means a *big* step to official translations of other great VNs like Air, Kanon, Clannad, Little Busters!, Rewrite and all fan-discs in-between.

Well, and just 4 dollars won't hurt your wallet that much, will it? ^^

Not about the money; could easily afford it.
What use, kinetic novel, without eroge is dead to us!
Just read the tabloid then for a good cry story! Laughing

(BTW, just j/k guys; please don't take seriously. And yeah we know it's iTunes, so no eroge.)

Bought! Very Happy

I hope Key releases more VNs to iPad and iPhone and I hope Planetarian gets turned into an anime.

It's also the most accessible one, in every sense of the term.

Everybody reading this who owns an IOS device should purchase it.
