Translator's notes
Why a port and not the original? The original was built in LiveMaker, which is great for shipping Japanese games but very hard to translate or patch. The cleanest path was ripping the original assets and re-implementing the game in Ren'Py.
What's different from the original? All visual and audio assets come from the original at original resolution, except the menus, which were rebuilt. A few brief screen-shake effects were added during sex-scene orgasms. The text matches the original as closely as translation allows.
The music sounds different from what I remember. The original used .mdi audio, which Ren'Py can't play, so it had to be converted to .mp3. .mdi files describe music as instructions for an instrument to play, not as a recorded track, so the result depends on whatever player you used originally; some shift is unavoidable.
No CG gallery? The translator couldn't get one working in Ren'Py and figured it was redundant since every CG is shipped as a ripped asset inside the game folder anyway.
A scene shows a character in a shirt but the text says he's shirtless. Translation is correct; this is an inconsistency from the original. The asset folder shows many unused sprites and CGs, suggesting the creator originally planned a larger scope and didn't redraw the CG once the script changed.
Yoshiyuki Hiiragi is a mediocre student and member of his school's swimming club, with one persistent problem: he's terrible at love and can't get a girlfriend to save himself. The swimming club captain, Yui Kōsaka, who also happens to be student council president and the school's heartthrob, offers a generous solution: the two of them can 'practice' together so Hiiragi will be ready whenever a girlfriend finally turns up.
Hiiragi's Practice Diary is a short Japanese kinetic VN originally built in LiveMaker, then ported and translated into Ren'Py by K-DRIVE for an English release. CGs and audio come from the original; the narrative is presented as faithfully as the translation allows.
