C78 – Tohru Adumi, Flower Dust Crown

Once again I got a doujinshi by Tohru Adumi. First time I looked at it’s content, my reaction was “wahoo”. . It’s a very nice one; and it also came bundled with a pamphlet, filled of bishi which may have warranted the female rating on Toranoana :p. But I will take only a look at Flower Dust Crown, 30 B5 pages.
Une fois de plus j’ai pris un doujinshi de Tohru Adumi. Première impression quand je l’ai ouvert a été un “wahoo”. C’est vraiment un très jolie; et puis il est venu avec un autre petit pamphlet, plein de bishi ce qui explique peut-être pourquoi il était dans la section femme de Toranoana :p. Mais je vais seulement m’intéresser à Flower Dust Crown, 30 pages B5

C77 – Hinayuki Usa, Kairo

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

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.

Quick loot and small reviews

Happy belated new year. I intended to make posts for Christmas and New year but I have been quite busy and I wasn’t sure about what to put, so my apologize.
My long awaited artbooks are finally here. Well I have been waiting for this shipment since last month, but as the 100 masters of Bishojo painting was first delayed, then out of stock, I couldn’t receive it in time before I leave my home for 2 weeks. But now that I’m back, I can get it. It’s a rather small loot compared to the madness I unleashed for C77 but this will be seen in time. For now, it’s just small reviews as these artbooks have already been reviewed and I share the same sentiment as their reviewers.

Review: Pixiv Fantasia III

Released last month, Pixiv Fantasia III ( ISBN: 978-4047261549 ) is the third installment in the series. The first two though didn’t have any publication and were only distributed on the Internet. As the name suggest, it’s a book with fantasy themed illustrations, ranging from humans to mythical beasts, to heaven from hell. I must say that this artbook is a departure from my usual collection, meaning bishoujo, moe… Quite a lot of new artists are featured, but none really stroke me so I will skip that part; I just focused a little bit more on my favorite illustration. At the end of the review, I will talk about their upcoming artbook, Pixiv Girls Collection 2010 which I hope will redeem the 2 previous Pixiv book I got.
