Cuffs / Sphere / Cubes – Several artist

Cuffs is the eroge company behind Amesarasa, Sakura Musubi, Garden, and more. They always have some stuff for the Comiket, especially the wallpaper collection and calendar which feature several artist, and it seems they are also collaborating with other companies. Notably for the calendar, there is Karory, Izumi Sakurazawa, Kantoku, Gayarou, Cuteg, Natsume Eri, and for the wallpaper, H2SO4, Kurot, Darupu and moreee. I never got any of their previous collection, but I always found them really good from the rip I have seen.

Aside of this, there are some rough sketch sold, NSFW dakimakura.

Palette – Izumi Tsubasu

Contrary to Cuff, Palette only has one artist, Izumi Tsubasu, who did the illustration for their last eroge, Mashiro Iro Symphony – Love is pure white. The set is of course based on their last game, and of course, I can’t read what is written *sigh*, but it seems really nice, especially the mugs lol. I can see a paper bag, a shitajiki , and I will guess that number 3 are stickers.

Palette will also sell a dakimakura of the heroine, Sena Airi, the OST of the game, and some pillows.

Suzuya – Ryohka

I’m disappointed… no sign of icon. 03. Instead we have a set with a NSFW oppai mouse pad, a Ranka calendar, which see to feature only one illustration, and a keychain. The set is in a funny file, the front with school mizugi and stockings illustration, and the opening side has been cut and designed to look like… the bottom part of the school mizugi! Oppai mouse pad were already quite stunning when I first discovered them, but a mizugi file… I’m simply flabbergasted.

Not included in the set is Suzu:can Vol. 17, which is a collection of hentai doujinshi by Ryohka.

Pixel Phantom – Kamiya Yuu

Pixel Phantasmagoria is an interesting doujinshi for 500¥; it has 14 pages of color illustration, and 30 pages of monochrome. It seems to be original art, as I like them. Maybe I will give a try to this artist.

The rest is Touhou related, with a 20 pages hentai doujinshi, and towels.

Mizukichan – Goto-P

Goto-P is simple like his/her awesome art; there is only one doujin. P6+ is just 20 B5 pages collecting recent artworks. I don’t need anything else, except maybe money now.

Carnelian

So much stuff… that I had to photoshop a bit every sample. First of all, the 25th volume of BENIGYOKUZUI, full color 14 doujinshi with Bayonetta, Macross Frontier, Nyan Koi, Persona 4, Azumanga, Evangelion, Umineko, Bakemonogatari. This could be interesting to get. Then there is a doujinshi with the art of Kao no Nai Tsuki, both color and monochrome which I’m not really interested in.

In fact, I prefer the winter set, featuring idols in a booklet, a bag, a snow ball, with several illustration and a snow ball, in which you can change the background with several illustration, and they are double faced with a calendar at the back. Finally, the set includes 2 random badges. Not in the set is some kind of towel or blanket.

Nick Ninth – Onineko

Onineko will illustrate another doujinshi for Nick Ninth. A B5, 18 pages doujinshi in full color, featuring a story. There is also a CD bundled with it. I have already pre-ordered it on Toranoana and this will be my first doujin from Onineko, yay.

Onineko will also be in a collaboration doujinshi with Asida Cako, Happa, Hara Yuuu and Noasan(?). I don’t know any of these artists, but a quick look at their site is rather reassuring, they are not bad.

Shimeko

This doujinshi is also a bit disappointing, for the simple fact that it’s a collaboration one. It’s 52 B5 pages with artist I have never heard of. You can see the full preview of the doujinshi by clicking on the image; it’s simply too large for my blog xD. The theme is Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo, and Summer Wars. I don’t think I will get it.

REI’s ROOM – REI
Private Garden – Tsurusaki Takahiro

REI will have a collaboration with Tsurusaki Takahiro. First of all, there is 2 clear files. REI will illustrate Nene Anegasaki from Love Plus and Tsurusaki illustrate the cute Midori and Milk. No news from GREENWOOD on that end. Then there is a bag, with the same illustration for REI while Tsurusaki drew Bakemonogatari this time.

Then REI will publish a doujin, with 75 pages collecting his sketches for the eroge Magic A Rider

More Love+, with pillow cases, bed sheet, T-shirt.

And to finish, some Touhou, a 20 B5 pages monochrome doujinshi, with a manga inside, and more pillows! Too many pillows for my own good here…

Snow Ring – Dmyo

Dmyo is rather easy. Another Dmyotic, 16 pages. We can expect it to be full color, and it seems to feature Vocaloid, Black Rock Shooter, K-on, Touhou. Otherwise, Dmyotic 3.0 seems to make a reapearance and finally, there will be a DS case. I might get Dmyotic 6.0, at the end to round up my order.

Sugar-Ringo – Juna

A Korean artist I discovered while looking for the C77 artwork on Pixiv. Her style remind me a lot of Dmyo, but otherwise, not much information on the doujinshi for C77, except that the title, Irogami and Donuts Hole, the latter being an illustration book.

Strawberry Pink – Cuteg
White World – Piah

And to finish, some Cuteg. First doujinshi is a collaboration between Cuteg and Piah. It’s based on the manga Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai which I really like. But The problem is the lack of information on her doujin, either on her website or her Pixiv. Sweet Impact has the subtitle girl’s collection, so I may pray it’s full color. It might be one of this random doujinshi I might try to get not knowing what the content is… Then Cuteg will have some of her old publication

Anyway, the loot is quite good, and some of these are already flying around on the Internet. There are other freebies from previous Comiket as well, for Kantoku, Rei, some Tinkle goods which was released for some event, and finally, K-books 15th anniversary artbook.

Spring !

I finally received my package from Japan, small one for once but full of awesome.

The first figurine is just a bonus from the Dengeki Hime magazine for May, which I get mostly for the posters inside. Some of them are already scanned, so you can have a look at them there.

Aside of this, the usual suspect: artbooks !

Taiwan Teki Shoujo

One I meant to get for some time already, Taiwan Teki Shoujo as its name indicate is an artbook with Taiwanese artist. Notable one is Rei who is quite well known  in Japan too. But this artbook is also a chance to discover other taiwanese artist. If you want to see the inside, you can always poke at Hunting the Elusive . Personally I like the artbook. I don’t have problem with Taiwanese art, since it’s as moe as Japanese’s one.More is always welcomed ! I would have more gripe with manwha though, but that’s another issue.

Lyrical

Then, quite a thin one, Lyrical. It’s Fumitake Moekibara’s first commercial artbook as far as I know. Not really surprising but one part is the artwork for eroge by Lump of Sugar, Itsuka, Todoku, Ano Sora Ni and Nursery Rhyme. Then there is the fanart and lastly, a PurismxEgoist part, which consist of artwork by his circle, ZIP. I should be writing another article for the inside.

Pixiv Girls Collection

Last artbook I got is the Pixiv Girls Collection. It’s a compilation of the best artwork of the Pixiv community. I don’t usually browse Pixiv since I already moderate a board where people post Pixiv’s artwork over there already.

First thing that strike anyone when they see this artbook is its thickness.

On the left you can see the two previous artbook stacked, and the Pixiv artbook is on the right. The artbook has 164 pages, and thick smooth paper hence the total size. Cover is by tearfish and sadly it’s the only illustration by him or her in this artbook. With my recent addiction to Persona 4, I wish there would be some fanart by him/her. Otherwise it’s a nice choice and recommended artbook. Like most compilation, some art is not up to my taste, but there already quite a lot I like. Pixiv managed to get a good community of artist, so I hope in the future there will be another artbook. Chance are that otherwise, none of them would get a publication unless they make a circle. Once again you can poke at Hunting the Elusive for some scan

Last thing which I got some time ago, but didn’t write anything about because I was quite busy finishing a certain game.

Sakura Sakura

I don’t usually buy figurine but I made an exception for this one. Gymnastic sure is attractive ^^;

I can try and enumerate them from left to right. In the corner you can see a Tinkle dakimakura, shorter than my other one, but larger. I don’t have any pillow to fit in it yet. Then there is the Rei bag, a Tinkle brochure from JIF, Tinkle bag, AMR bag.

Next line, Unspoilt Pre-parade by AMR, Toragokoro  ( H doujin ) by Hisuitei, Tinkle Shitajiki.

Then Cloufout, the AMR calendar, QP:chick color 2, Colorful Pop 6, Pretty present Perfect, Way to color by AMR, Byakuya Chakai.

And finally, last line, a kind of bag by Rei, a telephone card, Midory Style Summer, a telephone card holder, a Adumi Tohru doujin, Maidism, second doujin by Tanihara Natsuki and its B&W companion, and a two-faced Shitajiki.

All in all I’m quite satisfied with the loot since most stuff is full color just as I expected. I wish the AMR doujin was full colored but there is the calendar to make up for it. I wouldn’t enjoy a doujin full of Toradora anyway, even though I like the serie. Tanihara Natsuki made her doujin a little bit thicker but it’s only for draft sadly.

It’s also the first I get something from Tohru Adumi, and it’s a nice doujin. I might tried to get another one, as long as it’s not a full boy featured one like some other I saw on the Internet. My only grip is girl with armor in this one which lacks in the moe department.

I will put some individual post for the amazing stuff. And when I said that it covered my bed, it’s literally since underneath everything is the Etsu bed cover !
