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.

Scan: Baby doll biscuit

Morinaga Korune Baby doll biscuit

Starting the C77 stack with Baby doll biscuit, a collaboration between Morinaga Korune and Okazaki Anko. I’m already familiar with Morinaga Korune, with her loli, lolita dress and overall cute style, but it’s my first time that I see Okazaki Anko. Baby doll biscuit is a 20 pages doujinshi, cover included, and has some high quality printing as I can’t see the screening with my bare eyes, but it might also be an effect of the paper which is grainy, so the processing in the end wasn’t easy. I still have some flaw in the scanning workflow but I should address them for the next release. [PNG]

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.

Review: Misakura Nankotsu’s Shoujo Planetarium

Misakura Nankotsu is an artist I’m not too familiar with. I didn’t see a lot of artwork from him/her, before the recent scans. On the 1st of July, 2 artbooks were released, Last Resort (ISBN: 978-4-86252-653-3) and Shoujo Planetarium ( ISBN: 978-4-7577-5010-4 ).I don’t want to comment on the content of Last Resort, but be warned if you didn’t see them yet that it contains hentai, futanari and I find it rather gross, so I didn’t get the artbook. Shoujo Planetarium, is safer, though it features some pantsu shot and sexy illustrations. I decided to review it by photo, and I will comment it, and some color issue and the format of these review at the end of the article.
