The remastered version of Overflow's 2005 visual novel will receive its first official English dub. Katelyn Barr voices Kotonoha Katsura, Brittany Lauda voices Sekai Saionji, and P.M. Seymour voices Makoto Itou. The cast also includes Jalitza Delgado as Setsuna Kiyoura, Sara Ragsdale as Otome Katou, Kayli Mills as Hikari Kuroda, and others. The game will support English and Chinese text. School Days originally launched in Japan in 2005 and inspired a 12-episode television anime in 2007, followed by two OVA spinoffs in 2008. The story follows a love triangle among protagonist Makoto Itou, his classmate Sekai Saionji, and Kotonoha Katsura. The anime gained notoriety when its final episode was preempted by a real-life axe murder in Japan, leading to the \"nice boat\" catchphrase. JAST USA announced the English dub version is scheduled for overseas release in 2026. The remastered version updates the original fully animated visual novel for modern PCs with enhanced presentation and quality-of-life improvements.","whyItMatters":"This marks the first time School Days has received a full English voice track, giving a new audience access to a visual novel whose infamy has long outgrown its original Japanese-only release.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eP.M.
