Princess Evangile

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Princess Evangile is a romantic Visual Novel with Eroge elements, developed by MOONSTONE in 2011 and published in 2015 by MangaGamer, who also did the English localisation.

Okonogi Masaya is down on his luck. His manipulative and charismatic father has just left him, leaving a massive debt, and tough gangsters will be coming for the money. When freezing outside, he sees a mysterious pink-haired girl being abducted by what seems to be female guards. And that's when he stepped in...

Now in an all-girls Catholic school, Masaya and his new friends have to figure out how to change his reputation and the girls' prejudices about men, so that he can stay in school. But even with financial difficulties, the school-board and the Red Rose Society are not keen to let men integrate with women. And they will use every trick in the book to stop Masaya...

A fandisc (W Happiness) was later released, containing after-stories for the four Love Interests and routes for familiar characters.
