MiKandi Japan and Sol Press to Bring New Japanese Visual Novel, Newton and the Apple Tree, to the West
Seattle, WA. - MiKandi Japan has partnered with Sol Press and Japanese game makers Laplacian to localize their new bishoujo visual novel, Newton and the Apple Tree, into English. A Kickstarter campaign to fund the project launches on December 1st and will run until January 3rd with Sol Press at the helm and Mikandi Japan on board as creative collaborators. While the campaign's minimum funding goal is $31,200 USD, there are many exciting reward tiers, special events, and stretch goals planned that could boost the campaign to reach as high as $100,000 USD.
Story
Newton and the Apple Tree centers around protagonist, Syuji Asanaga, and his childhood pal Yotsuko Utakane. They are on a mission to find Syuji's grandfather who has mysteriously vanished. The two somehow end up hurtling through the fabric of time and ultimately crash land into a tree. "Standing" there before the mishap is a cute blonde girl with twintails. Believe it or not, this petite girl turns out to be the famed Sir Isaac Newton! Unfortunately, through Syuji's foolish conduct, the great scientific discoveries of the past have now been altered. The two must find a way to correct this and get back to their own time.
Newton is a hilarious but also slightly touching time travel adventure story that will appeal to visual novel newcomers and veterans alike. For more information, please visit SolPress.co/Newton
