News we’ve been waiting for! Aoi Aki’s first tankoubon release is coming out end of next month, May 26th! The title’s Tsumasaki ni Kourouzu (爪先に光路図). I don’t know about the story but the art is more than enough to rope me in. Click the link below for the pop! There’s some samples on Aoi Aki’s site too.

Daily Read: Castle Mango – Chapter 11

Thesis is over (well, almost) and I’m finally done with my education. Need to hunt for a job soon but before that, time to kick back and relax! Or at least finish my draft reviews. So without further ado, I’ll start with Castle Mango 11 which all I’m going to say is “GO! YOROZU!” Recap: Chapter 10. Yorozu’s mothers discharged from the hospital, his relationship with Satoru improved, hotel room…

I’m a sucker for pretty things! Today I saw this doujinka’s work, and I immediately fell in love with it. Her drawings are really superb, and it’s not the usual manga proportions, as in there’s more volume and shape to her characters. The thing I love about this doujinka, Sato is that she shares her sketch in the site. And it’s such an eye opener to be able to look at those drawings. Personally,…

Artist Feature: Kazuaki – カズアキ

Kazuaki is a fairly well known artist, both for her art and the unfortunate event (read this post for more information). She was in K E 100S circle with Fujisawa Yui I think? They did some FMA doujinshi like the images above, Rendezvous with the Military Dog and Shishakushibyou no Hoka. She did illustrations for novels and an Otome game called Starry☆Star. Apparently, you use a female student…

Kusomiso is taking over the world!

These are really old clips, but I rewatched them yesterday ’cause I came across Ookiku Furikabutte’s opening yesteday for the first time. Please watch these in order to see their awesome Kusomiso remake of the opening. :D Original Kusomiso version Kusomiso version with subtitles that really really sounds like what Base Ball Bear’s…

Updates and Instant noodles!

I’ll be spamming a few post later to update a few translations I put up in my LJ. Those will take about 2 posts. Then, I’ve uploaded some manga raws too. They’ve been sitting in my draft for months and some of which I’ve uploaded for OS for preview purposes, whether to take the project or not… I wonder if the links stay active for long. They’re still valid though. Today, Justin and Hung went this…

So many things to say, so little time…

I’ve been busy the past 3 weeks because I took winter intersession classes, which meant that I had classes (online, thank god) every single day. Last week’s happy news was, Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi will finally gets some recognition! With the announcement of the animation series being planned, I think the series will reel in more fans, as with Junjou Romantica, I doubt most of the fans actually read…

Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum, the oldest recoded same-sex couple in history. I started class today, and I was researching on the French philosopher, Michel Foucault, and his work on history of human sexuality. And somehow or rather it leads to this. I’m pretty sure my lecturer didn’t intend for me to learn stuff like these, but heck, it’s so interesting. There’s a line in Wikipedia that made me…

Artist Feature: Karuta Shiki – 士基軽太

Today I’m introducing another illustrator which I like, Karuta Shiki. Her works mostly looks as if their are painted with watercolour, but if I’m not wrong, I think she did mention she used Corel Painter. :D Wonderful program, but you need a really good computer specs to run it smoothly. Like most illustrator, she does some novel illustrations and also drew illustrations for a doujinshi CD. So…

Artist Feature: Tagura Tohru – 田倉トヲル

Nothing much happened this past few days.  My sister’s group’s having their anniversary release now (today’s the final day) and I’ve been helping her out with inserts and stuff. I wrote the report on our trip to Las Vegas and Grand Canyon, but I’m still editing those damn pictures. Ones from Las Vegas didn’t turn out great, most probably because weather wasn’t sunny when were there. I’ll try to…
