Depends on your likes/dislikes here. If you have a thing for vampires, twins, etc, then minDeadBlood is your choice. If you more like pure horror/mystery, then GSS is for you.

2) I can't read Japanese at all, but can I still get what's going on if I just rely on the visuals and what the characters are saying (I can understand some Japanese)?
*sigh* Friend, without any knowledge of japanese, I fear you'd miss most of the fun, really. Without proper knowledge of japanese, you won't understand the story, and the story is the fun and most important thing about a b-game...
If you have an idea of what's being said, it's a help, certainly, but consider that there's a lot of in-between text that describes what's currently happening in a b-game, plus most games doesn't have both male & feamle voice actors, so...

3) What exactly is the 'Mayu to Mana' game I saw at Himeya? Is that a sequel or a spinoff/fun disk (like Kagetsu Toya is to Tsukihime or Fate/Hollow Ataraxia is to FSN)?
It's an expansion. From what I hear, MinDeadBlood wasn't really completted when it was released and thus, to compensate, the fandisc with the missing stuff was released.

One last thing, someone I know told me about these two programs that are supposed to help in translating text and such from bishoujo games. The one on the first link says it's compatible with Mini Dead Blood and Gore Screaming Show.AGTH - Anime Games Text Hooker

Oh! Text Hooker

Text hooker, yes - I've heard of it. It's in essence a helpful tool for translators - but let me tell you, there's no online translation tool or translation tool (like JWPce) which can translate _everything_. without Japanese knowledge, I fear you'll be struck (especialyl in the case of MDB) and not really be able to enjoy the game that much, whichever you buy...
So my advice for you is: Learn some japanese before you pour any money into JP b-games [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
