The DGS Hibiki NDS game website has been updated with a new wallpaper, tokuten information, and a blog.
The first wallpaper with Tomo will be available until November 5th and a new wallpaper will be added November 6th.
Four shops have special bonuses when ordering. At Animate, the limited edition includes an original drama CD “Ohime sama no Koi” and letter set, and the regular edition only has the drama CD. The limited edition at Messe Sanoh comes with an original drama CD “Nyanko ga Kowai!” and eco bag. The regular edition comes with just the drama CD. You can also buy the game without the tokutens and the price will be a little cheaper. Sofmap’s limited edition comes with an original drama CD titled “Ghost Hunter DGS!?” The regular edition does not come with anything. Lastly, at Imagine, the “Magical Pack” includes a tosho card. The Magical Pack is only available with the limited edition.
A blog has been established for the game. The first entry contains the package illustration for the regular edition.
In other news, the Kiramune staff blog has been updated and includes a couple photos of Kamiya. Chuuni ka!! LoL.

The DGS Hibiki – Hibiki Tokkun Daisakusen! game site has been updated with tokuten information and a desktop wallpaper has been added as well. The special pouch included with the limited edition version of the game will feature an 8-bit design of HiroC and OnoD. No information is given about the contents of the special talk CD. The 2010 calendar you can get with pre-orders will feature 20 pages with images of all the game characters and also have a new illustration of HiroC and OnoD on the cover. A sample image (most likely the cover) can be seen on the website.
As discussed on DGS #133, there were many leftover CCP goods from DenFes so they’re all up on A&G’s web shop. The only item not available is the Nyaa san no Shippo Strap as that was the only one that sold out. They didn’t say aloud how much they’ve fallen into debt but it sounds like they’re pretty deep in the red. Hibiki goods will be sold at Animate stores starting November 5.
And now for a review of the latest chapter of DGS Hibiki from SYLPH vol.9. Sorry, it’s been a while since I’ve written a chapter review. In the previous chapter, Black Hibiki appeared and threatened to take over Hibiki. They challenged HiroC and OnoD to see who can help the most otomes within a week.

The cover of this issue features Kuranoa. Furoku included a Kuranoa drama CD (OnoD voices Ichi) and bookmarks from the DGS Hibiki game.
In this latest chapter, HiroC and OnoD are given an assignment to help Tsukasa practice soccer. Tsukasa has no confidence and doesn’t want to hold her team back in their big match next week so she asks for HiroC and OnoD to be her practice partner. Tsukasa improves but still feels she’s not good enough and wants to continue practicing, but HiroC is in a hurry to help as many girls as he can to win the challenge against Black Hibiki. He turns down her further request for help and when she
Level-headed OnoD
insists, he gets mad, saying that they have a challenge they can’t afford to lose either. OnoD, on the other hand, is much more level-headed about the entire situation and even tells HiroC that it doesn’t really matter if they lose against Black Hibiki. He says that HiroC’s behavior is the worst right now and that he has no right to wear the tsunagi (jumpsuit). This sets HiroC off and the chapter ends with HiroC grabbing the neck of OnoD’s shirt.
I thought the end of this chapter was very well-written. HiroC is usually the calmer of the two but this time it’s HiroC who loses his cool and OnoD shows his more mature side. To put it bluntly, HiroC was a jerk. It’s nice to see OnoD take the spotlight once in a while and I’m excited for the next chapter! Vol.10 will have DGS Hibiki on the cover and include a report on DenFes. It will be released November 21.
