The end of Sakinobashi

Some people might have find this blog thanks to the scanlation done on Tinkle’s series, Tsukiyo no Fromage, or Nusunde Lilith. Other might have encountered us for some doujinshi. I’m Kachou Fuugetsu, just another nick I used for this team. Sakinobashi was really just made of fan.

Just for the history, we started when I once told Ippiki Ookami “I wonder what is happening in Gothic Lolita Dagguereotype”. As it was quite, disturbing, she translated it, and then latter I wanted to take part in the workflow hence the creation of the team. However we didn’t want the burden of having people requesting us to work on some project; we wanted our own pace, thus the name Sakinobashi, Japanese for “procrastination” ( or something like that xD ).

But now Ippiki Ookami is leaving the scene, so it’s the end of our team. I know, I could search for a new translator, but as we are both founder I don’t want to use this name again without her. It’s the end of Sakinobashi, but I will remain.

Shiitake’s Eternal Wings

Next month I will finally have a home, till then, I just got my goodies from the Japan Expo. This year again, Shiitake was present and she signed my doujinshi! She is really a beautiful artist, and she was wearing a yukata.

Sadly no, I don’t have another photo of her booth. Anyway, she had 2 doujinshi which she had released in April, Hanaotome and Eternal Wings, 32 pages each. Hanaotome is themed around traditional clothing, meaning yukata. Eternal Wings features, well, wings. This time I took photo of the book, but not with my usual point and shot; I borrowed a Nikon D300S.
