C77 – Hinayuki Usa, Kairo

Merun — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 23:29:13 +0000

A bit late to the party, but during C77 I managed to get my first doujinshi by Hinayuki Usa ( Fururi ). It’s a 120 pages B5 doujinshi, featuring 32 pages of original color illustrations and the rest is monochrome. Of course I’m more interested in the color pages rather than the monochrome. There was another doujinshi, but my overdose of Touhou of course meant I didn’t get it, but you can still check Nattoli’s review.

Un peu en retard, mais pendant le C77 j’ai réussi à avoir mon premier doujinshi de Hinayuki Usa( Fururi ). Ce doujinshi contient 120 pages B5, dont 32 en couleur. Bien sûr je suis plus intéressé par les pages en couleur. Il y avait un autre doujinshi pendant le C77, mais j’ai une overdose de Touhou donc je ne l’ai pas pris. Néanmoins, vous pouvez toujours consulter la review (en anglais ) de Nattoli

First things which is striking when holding this doujinshi, is… THE PAPER ! Read or die joke aside, the paper used in this doujinshi is incredibly thin for color illustration. It’s smooth, nice texture and the ink married correctly with it, but simply touching it is scary, as it feels like it could be easily torn, and the lack of thickness means it’s quite see through, even more than a magazine.

La première chose qui frappe quand on tient ce doujinshi, c’est le papier. Le papier utilisé est extrêmement fin, du jamais vu. C’est un peu effrayant car ça a l’air fragile et facile à déchirer. De plus, ce manque d’épaisseur flagrante fait qu’on voit à travers les pages, bien plus que dans un magazine.

First part of the color illustration involves japanese clothing, as it seems she likes the style. I wonder if she got infected by the kemonomimi syndrome of Izumi Sakurazawa as quite a few images does features ears.

One thing particular in Hinayuki’s style, is the stroke in the eyes. It seems a bit sketchy, as it’s full of line. Also, she better fit the loli style because having seen her drawn *ahem* breast… it’s too big.

La première partie des illustrations en couleur sont sur le thème des vêtements traditionnels. Il me semble que l’artiste les aime beaucoup. D’autre part, je me demande si elle n’a pas été infecté par le syndrome des kemonomimi d’Izumi Sakurazawa au vu de certaine image. Une chose particulière dans le style d’Hinayuki Usa est les yeux. Elle fait plein de trait dans les yeux ce qui donne une allure un peu de sketch plein de ligne. De plus, elle est bien meilleur pour les lolis, car la dernière fois que j’ai vu des seins dessinés par elle… c’était un peu trop gros…

Another part is dedicated to some of her artwork she did for other media. I remember seeing the twin image in the bottom left on a CD. There is also some fanart for eroge, like Little Busters!, Suiheisen Made Nan Mile? -Deep Blue Sky & Pure White Wings-.

Une autre partie est dédiée a certain de ses travaux qu’elle a fait pour d’autre support. Je me souviens d’avoir déjà vu par exemple cette illustration en bas à gauche sur une jacket de CD. Il y a aussi des fanart d’eroge, comme Little Busters! ou encore Suiheisen Made Nan Mile? -Deep Blue Sky & Pure White Wings.

And this conclude this not so thin doujin. The monochrome part is more important, and the paper used for it is similar to manga’s paper. The color part is a good compilation of her previous work, while not always full page, she used every room of the page to put them making me quite happy for a first doujinshi by her.

Et ceci conclut donc ce doujin pas si fin. La partie en monochrome est plus important et le papier est pratiquement le même que celui utilisé pour les mangas. La partie couleur est une bonne compilation de ses illustration, et bien qu’elles ne soient pas en pleine page, l’artiste a utilisé au maximum la place disponible. Je suis très content donc de ce premier doujinshi par elle.

C77 Round up Preview

Merun — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 05:27:33 +0000

Today, 29th, Comiket already started! Meanwhile here is another preview since anyway, most stuff will be sold on the third day. Some artist updated only today, and of course, I overlooked some as there way too many to monitor. That’s also why I suggest you to read some other preview from icie and from Ippiki Ookami. Not many artist to cover in this preview, but they are worth a look.

Frill*frill – Morinaga Korune
Nostalgic Barbie – Okazaki Anko

I think I have never seen Morinaga Korune draw something else than loli, and it seems to continue with Baby Doll Biscuit, a collaboration doujinshi with Okazaki Anko, who I have never heard of before. Both have a distinguished and recognizable artstyle, and they are rather fitting in this 20 B5 pages doujinshi. Going by past experience, it’s not going to be cheap. There is also a little set which will have a telephone cleaner, and a bonus book.

And just to verify my theory, here is one more DS case.

CHRONOLOG – Izumi Sakurazawa
Fururi – Hinayuki Usa

They must really like each other as they have yet another stand together. Now as there is quite a lot of stuff, you better check the webpage directly. So Sweet is a monochrome yuri hentai doujinshi, featuring yet again Youmu and Yuyuko.

Sakura-Rou- is a collaboration between Izumi Sakurazawa and Kijima Renga of RengaWorks, with 36 pages of black and white manga for Touhou.

Kairo is Hinayuki’s doujinshi, a huge doujinshi of 120 B5 pages, 32 in colors, the rest in monochrome. This is rather interesting as it features more color page than a thin doujinshi!

Yumemi shoujo no yume sen is her second doujinshi, with 20 pages of color illustrations for Touhou.

Then, the collaboration doujin is just a Touhou calendar to hang on your wall, with 7 sheets.

To finish, the real set will have a cute bag as shown here, and a dakimakura, one face drawn by each artist. I think that in all these goodies, I would only pick Fururi’s.

CASCADE – Hasekura Chiaki

Hasekura Chiaki has a nice set, with 2 doujinshi, Macarons Color 5, a full colour doujinshi, and Alice Mode 2, a monochrome doujinshi, featuring a manga. Then, there is some shitajiki or something like that with an hologram surface and a bag. Not on the image is Alice Mode which will be resold.

Cut a Dash! – Misato Mitsumi

Misato Mitsumi will have her traditional calendar, with 16 pages which I guess will cover a bit of 2011. It’s mostly original art, with some fanart. The rest is Roughplus, which as it’s name indicate, a doujinshi with rough art, and then, Esquise Monochrome, with monochrome illustration.
