Kango Shicyauzo (看護しちゃうぞ Kango
Shichauzo) is a Japanese erotic visual novel developed and published by
Trabulance on March 2, 2001.[2]
It was later licensed, translated and redistributed in the United
States with the subtitle "I'm Gonna Nurse You" by
G-Collections on
June 24, 2003.[3] Since
its second revision, both current Japanese and English versions
have "Voice Plus!" as an additional subtitle to
denote the inclusion of original seiyu recordings for characters in the
game.
According to JList.com, Kango Shicyauzo was the first game to be
translated and published by G-Collections.[4]
Gameplay
Kango Shicyauzo is played like a traditional visual
novel; the player advances through graphically inanimate scenes,
with textual or audible character dialog, and making decisions
based on scripted dilemmas which occur. Choices are hierarchical,
meaning that selections branch to an entirely different network of
plotline, ultimately leading to Shinobu monogamously dating, sexually engaging, and
marrying one of the primary female cast members.
If however, the player fails to establish a relationship after
about three decisions, such as making selections which don't focus
on any particular woman, Shinobu will be called back to mandatorily
work at the hospital; thus, ending the game early.
Features
- Character voice recordings can be omitted during installation
if desired.
- The program frame can be calibrated to full screen, compact
into a fixed window, or simply be minimized.
- Volume levels for music, sound effects and voice can be
adjusted, and specific characters can have their voices muted
entirely.
- Text can be spelt out at a particular speed, shown instantly or
even be skipped after decisions.
- The speed of CG
artwork can be set to normal or fast.
- TE-BURA mode, which automatically advances the game one frame
after an adjusted amount of seconds has passed following dialog,
can be enabled so clicking is unnecessary until decisions have to
be made.
- Game progress can be saved by the player at anytime, and a
prompt can even be enabled to remind a player to save at important
areas.
- Hints can be set to give the player an additional choice at
decisions to directly or indirectly show what woman they will
pursue from their selection, or if sexual activity will occur
within an already established relationship.
- Previously seen eyecatch sequences can be skipped by
option.
- The “Extra” section of the main menu allows players to view
already seen digital artwork, replay sexually depicted artwork in
scene format, and play the game’s music tracks.
- An exclusive plotline, known as the Harem Route or Playboy
Route, becomes available when the player completes each of the
females individual storylines. Through this special path, Shinobu
will be polyamorously intimate with consenting groups of the female
cast, identical to group sex, instead of gradually developing a
relationship with just one of them. Completing this final portion
of the game is what also finishes the CG Gallery.
Synopsis
Shinobu Nakagawa is a newly licensed pediatrician employed at
the fictional St. Michael’s General Hospital in Tokyo, Japan. One
evening during work, he receives a telephone call from his foster
mother, Kaede Maioka, requesting his company at her house. Though
personally bothered at this inconvenience, he reluctantly agrees to
visit.
Upon his arrival, she abruptly asks him to substitute for a
sickly nurse educator at the Saint Michael’s Nursing School; an
all-girls medical institution adjacent to the hospital. Initially
he finds the idea to be haphazard and intrusive, protesting against
it, but realizes his effort to avoid the offer disappoints Kaede,
leading him to sympathetically accept the proposition. It is
shortly after this that Shinobu learns his foster stepsister,
Momiji Maioka, is also an enrolled student to the same school.
The following morning he visits the school for orientation and
is introduced to three affectionate young girls who happily
befriend him. While each one, including Shinobu’s own foster
family, harbor amorous feelings for him, only through careful
judgment will one particular woman outstand the rest and win his
heart.
Characters
Primary
characters
- Shinobu Nakagawa ( 中川 忍 • しのぶ
なかがわ , Nakagawa Shinobu
?)
- A recently finished postdoctoral
researcher, Shinobu Nakagawa is a physician whose main focus of
practice is pediatrics. His initial idea of becoming a
temporary instructor at a woman’s nursing school greatly distresses
him, but over time he acclimates with his new environment and
becomes quite fond of it. As a handsome bachelor, he receives
constant admiration from the student body, especially his closest
peers, who all desire to be his girlfriend. Although he can be
somewhat stubborn and tactless, Shinobu is in fact a benevolent
young man who wishes to see his newly assigned students
succeed.
- Kaede Maioka ( 舞岡 楓 • まいおか
かえで , Maioka Kaede
?)
- Voluptuous and enticing, Kaede Maioka is a Clinical Nurse
Specialist who volunteers at the Saint Michael’s General Hospital
and officially works as an instructor at the school. She is
Shinobu’s foster mother, whose profession in health care led to
both his, and Momiji’s, interest in the field. While Kaede is
proficient when it comes to her work, she often desires lecherous
activity outside her medical duty at the most inappropriate of
times, usually having Shinobu participate with her. Despite this,
Kaede is a caring woman, who enjoys seeing her friends and patients
happy. Age unknown.

Maki
- Momiji Maioka ( 舞岡 紅葉 • まいおか
もみじ , Maioka Momiji
?)
- Enrolled student to the nursing school, Momiji Maioka is
Kaede’s only biological daughter and Shinobu’s foster stepsister.
Her personality is effervescent in nature, usually to other’s
chagrin, but she can and does become serious when necessary. Since
childhood Momiji has stayed close to Shinobu as a friendly
companion, and now as a mature adolescent, her feelings have
developed into a passionate attraction to him. Fueled by ambitious
determination, Momiji strives to achieve the same level of nursing
expertise as her Mother, and ultimately work alongside Shinobu at
the hospital. Age 18.

Uchimura
- Nanana Yoshino ( 吉野 奈々菜 • よしの
ななな , Yoshino Nanana
?)
- Another enrolled student, Nanana Yoshino is Momiji’s best
friend. She is incredibly dainty, optimistic and shy, but
occasionally clumsy; usually to her own personal humiliation. Her
attraction to Shinobu is deep, and the desire to express
appreciation for his benignity is what unfortunately generates
conflict within her friendship with Momiji. Having been
hospitalized as a child and recuperated by a nurse, Nanana wishes
to also excel in health care and, like Momiji, work alongside
Shinobu. Age 18.

Serizawa
- Eimi Katakura ( 片倉 詠美 • かたくら
えいみ , Katakura Eimi
?)
- Eimi Katakura is a Roman Catholic nun who, like Kaede Maioka,
volunteers at the Saint Michael’s General Hospital, works as an
instructor at the school, and additionally performs religious
services at the nearby Catholic Church. Gentle and slow, Eimi does
her best to sooth the mental health of patients and educate
students in the field of medicine. Her interpretation of God’s
will, and the messages she claims to receive from him through
prayer, however, are somewhat unorthodox, and vaguely excuse her
from breaking celibacy;
especially when she becomes intimate with Shinobu. Age
unknown.
- Voiced by: Honoka
Kasuga
- Chisa Mutsuki ( 睦月 知沙 • むつき
ちさ , Mutsuki Chisa
?)
- Genteel, focused, and intelligent, Chisa Mutsuki is the elected
Class President for the student body of the Saint Michael’s Nursing
School. Her dedication to her studies is unusually obsessive, and
as a direct result, lacks an ordinary social life and the ability
to make or retain friendships. She takes a passionate interest in
Shinobu for his concern of her solitary behavior, and follows his
advice to become more outgoing. With parents who manage their own
hospital, Chisa desires to train herself to a professional degree
in nursing and, unsurprisingly, assist Shinobu in his hospital of
choice. Age 18.

Secondary
characters
- Nurse ( 看護婦 • かんごふ
,
Kangofu
?)
- An unnamed, fairly nondescript middle-aged woman working as a
registered nurse at the Saint Michael's General Hospital. She only
makes two appearances in the entire game; one at the beginning when
she is with Shinobu in the Data Room of the hospital, and later
when she runs to ask Kaede to withdraw blood from a patient.
- Voice uncredited.
- Students A, B and C ( 学生 A、B、C
,
Gakusei A, B, C
?)
- This trio of unidentified girls are enrolled students to the
Saint Michael's Nursing School, and while they don't serve much of
a significant or pivotal role in the game, are quite mischievous.
They generally tend to stay in their group of three and arouse
unnecessary problems like interrupting class and complaining about
having to do work.
- Voices uncredited.
Music
- Opening and Closing theme song: NURSING SAMBA
～灼熱の時間とき～ (NURSING SAMBA~ Shakunetsu no Jikan Toki~)
- Arrangement by Tasogare no Yume
- Lyrics by Takeshi Yokoyama
- Vocals by Noriko Saito
- The shortened version of this song is available to freely
listen to here[5]
Patches
On March 21, 2006 G-Collections released a software patch for
owners of the first original release of Kango Shicyauzo,
as explicit renders had been censored. The patch removes these
censors.[6]
Sequels
On April 19, 2002, Trabulance released Kango Shicyauzo
2 (看護しちゃうぞ２～女子寮は萌えているか～ Kango Shichauzo 2 ~Joshiryou
Ha Moeteiruka~)[2],
translated and redistributed in the United States with the subtitle
"Is the Sorority House Burning?" by
G-Collections.[7] While
the original storyline and casting are abandoned, the setting and
theme are retained.
The game focuses on Eiji Nakamura, a young man impersonating a
Roman Catholic Church Father who returns to his homeland
of Japan following a seven year apprenticeship at the Vatican in Rome, Italy. After
meeting and reacquainting himself with an old friend and neighbor
of his, Eiji is given the opportunity to advocate Catholic theology
at the Saint Michael's General Hospital in exchange for room and
board at the adjoined nursing school dormitories and for his
participation in the determent of an unusual lingerie burglar.
On July 16, 2004, Trabulance released Kango Shicyauzo
3 (看護しちゃうぞ３ 看護婦さんは甘えんぼ Kango Shichauzo 3 Kangofu Sanha
Amae Nbo)[2]
which has yet to be translated and redistributed in the United
States.
Goofs
- The morning before orientation, Shinobu explains in his
apartment that dressing casual with a medical gown would be
unprofessional as a teacher and instead, decides to go semi-formal.
Even though this is stated, he is drawn wearing the gown throughout
the game anyway.
- The following day when Shinobu visits the teacher's lounge, he
is given a cup of coffee by Kaede. The quotation marks for his
already spoken dialog are not removed when he sips from the cup,
which makes him technically speak the action of drinking.
- Character names are occasionally misspelled.
- Eimi Katakura's first name is spelt Emi in the
American version of the game, even though the Hiragana used to construct it is officially romanized
Eimi.
