Tanaka Romeo’s novel nominated for award
Tanaka Romeo’s Jinrui wa suitai shimashita is one of the 5 novels nominated to be “Books that college students should read” by college students from 30 literature clubs across 25 colleges in Japan. An open debate was held on the 4th of May to decide the best of the 5 nominated books.
The other nominations were Childhood’s End by Arthur C Clark, 1000 novels and the bugbear by Satou Yuuya, Shio no machi by Arikawa Hiro (author of Toshokan sensou), and Seinen no tame no dokusho club by Sakuraba Kazuki. Childhood’s End won the award in the end.
Tanaka Romeo is one of the scenario writers for Key’s Rewrite.
And while we’re at it, Tanaka Romeo’s Cross Channel should be nominated as one of the eroge that all humans should play.

So, Key can claim to have an award winning (well, close enough) novelist on their team now?

Cross Channel - Woah, that blue haired girl looks just like Yuki Nagato.

I think this proves the point that what keeps an eroge company on-board is not just the artist, but the writer as well.
The eroge industry in Japan needs a Writer’s Strike.

Cross†Channel will be rather hard to play in Japanese, however.
