Hsuki Forum

To understand Hsuki, you must first understand the context of the early 2000s. Before Steam became the primary distributor for visual novels, acquiring English patches for Japanese games was a treacherous journey. Fans relied on IRC channels, GeoCities sites, and small, private forums.
