Comic Market 81 stuff

Finally I received all the stuff I purchased from the last Comic Market, held in December. It takes me about 2 months to gather all the stuff I want from each Comike because I use several sources, and as a last resort Yahoo! Auctions. For example, this specific loot was received in 5 separated shipments from 5 different sources.

Pretty much the same as usual, doujinshi by the authors I follow and TYPE-MOON goods:

-Mahoutsukai no Hako set from TYPE-MOON
-Fate Zero set by circle Crazy Clover Club
-Circle King Revolver works
-Enikki Recycle 17 and the omake booklet by circle Initial G
-Konton Lady Studio Soushuuhen Tora by circle Konton Lady Studio
-Yayoi Ganbaru! by circle Chotto Dake Aru Yo.
-Milk Catchers 1 by circle Kuroyuki
-Namae no Nai Sakuya by circle Nuruma-ya
-Flag Crash and Omake no Carisa Hon by circle Lv. X+

And in detail:

This year Mahoutsukai no Hako set consist in two phone cleaners, a mug, a metal bookmark, 2 mini-posters and 4 plastic coasters. In the same shipment I also received Carnival Phantasm 3rd Season, that I covered in my previous entry.

Fate Zero set by Shirotsumekusa of circle Crazy Clover Club consist in T-MOON COMPLEX "ZERO" (short gag comics featuring characters from Fate/Zero), C81 Omake Hon (a small bonus booklet that contains a calendar and a few pin-up illustrations) and clear file bag. I like that he lately returned to gag comics instead of his dragged for too long T-Moon Complex X.

The latest doujinshi by Kikuta Kouji from circle King Revolver: Taisa ni Seieki o Makishirasu Hon (featuring Selvaria from Valkyria Chronicles dressed with the bikini from the upcoming Alter figure), Shouken No Bo (featuring the old school Dragon Quest warrior) and Soushuuhen to Horizon, a compilation of his previously released omake books plus a new story featuring the busty Aoi Kimi from Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon.

Enikki Recycle 17, the picture blog compilation of A1 (Initial-G) covering the first half of 2011 plus the omake booklet Criminal Girl featuring iDOLM@STER's Takane.

Konton Lady Studio Soushuuhen Tora by circle Konton Lady Studio. This actually is a C80 release but I was unable to secure a copy until now.
Is a compilation of IDOLM@STER gags drawn and written by DIT, all of them quite funny, and was sold as a pair with Soushuuhen Ryuu, that I covered in my C80 post.

Keeping my collection of Takemura Sessyu's IDOLM@STER doujinshi (4 thus far including this one) , in this one Yayoi Ganbaru! is the turn of Mami, Ami and Yayoi.

Milk Catchers 1 by Kakyouin Chiroru from circle Kuroyuki, starring HeartCatch Precure! characters Yuri and Itsuki paired with the returning kimo-ota from Milk Masters. I bought it only because I own all his previous works from the same series, because I hardly know anything of Precure besides the first season...

Namae no Nai Sakuya, the third non-hentai work of Tsukiwani from circle Nuruma-ya, starring a young Sakuya when she first entered to work in the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Sakuya first day as a maid.

Is rare for me to say this, but now I prefer his non ero works because is much better than his usual ero-works that uses exactly the same formula each time.

And finally, Flag Crash and Omake no Carisa Hon by Yuzuki N' of circle Lv. X+. Flag Crash features the yandere Gasai Yuno from Mirai Nikki, and the bonus booklet features Carisa from Valkyria Chronicles 3. To tell the truth, I was only interested in the omake book, so for me Flag Crash was the bonus.

Comic Market 80 doujinshi loot

Late and brief review of C80 releases (and some Comitia releases as well) that I bought:

As usual, those are mostly works from the circles that I systematically follow. In detail:

T-Moon Complex X 07, keeping the excessively long Fate vs. Tsukihime crossover by Shirotsumekusa of circle Crazy Clover Club and Mado☆Magi Complex, an updated version of his previous work.
This time bonus is a shitajiki with Arcueid in one side and the T-Moon Complex cover in the other.

Konton Lady Studio Ryuu Soushuuhen from circle Konton Lady Studio, a compilation of IDOLM@STER works that are not part of their Super Kotori Time series.
Their released 2 compilations at the same time: Ryuu, this one, is focused in the works drawn by Tee and Tora, focused in the works of DIT. Sadly I was unable to find the other volume...

The works by Kikuta Kouji from circle King Revolver: Futanari Gohan (featuring futa Mami and Homura "playing" with a non-futa Madoka) Natsu No Bunny (featuring several characters in bunny outfits, but mostly Mami from Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica), Summer Pudding (starring a yukata dressed Rider) and the copy-shi Serio-san to Ecchishiyou starring Serio.

Atsui Hi Daradara by Takemura Sessyu from the circle Chotto Dake Aru Yo., starring extremely lewd versions of Makoto and Miki staying at Producer's home.

Hijirin Yume Mousou and Mima-sama Yume Mousou by Tsukiwani of Circle Nurumaya.
When I was living in Japan I was strongly exposed to Touhou universe, but now my interest in it is quickly fading (I didn't play anything since Subterranean Animism). Besides that, Tsukiwani does exactly the same situation in every issue, and while it was fresh in the first ones, after 14 issues it's a bit repetitive...

And Enikki Recycle 16, the blog entries compilation of A1 (Initial-G) covering the second half of 2010. The omake booklet features Chihaya from IdolM@ster.

Doujinshi

The latest batch of received doujinshi, mostly Comic Ichi releases:

• Initial-G omake book released in the previous Comic1☆2
• Itsumo no Yuukarin by Circle Nuruma-ya
• Haru no Bunny by circle King Revolver
• Mado Magi Complex by circle Crazy Clover Club
• Senjou No Tsundere Senshachou by circle Lv. X+

Initial-G omake book is a short copy booklet with a few pin-up images of Miki and Azusa from IdolMaster.

Itsumo no Yuukarin is the latest work by Tsukiwani. Is his second non-ecchi work that was supposed to be released in the cancelled Reitaisei. The main character this time is Yuuka.

Cute ashamed Yuuka

Haru no Bunny is the last work by Kikuta from King Revolver, starring Valkyria Chronicles' Selveria in bunny outfit.

Mado Magi Complex is the first non-TYPE-MOON related doujinshi by Crazy Clover Club after a long, long time. Features mostly short gags featuring the Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica girls.

Mami is not longer alone. I really like his works the best when he doesn't try to be serious.

And Senjou No Tsundere Senshachou by Yuzuki N', a Valkyria Chronicles 3 starring Rydia. In a semi-related note, VC3 is not being released outside Japan, so I'll buy the Japanese version once is re-released as budget version.

Doujinshi loot

This is a really late review of the doujinshi received in early march:

Most of them are c79 releases from the authors I follow.

In detail:
Kikuta Kouji works (circle King Revolver): Mata Rider-san ni Nukareteru (Rider), Dopyu! to Atsumare Hana no Power (Cure Sunshine from HeartCatch PreCure!), Oppai Kikou (Selvaria from Valkyria Chronicles) and BunnyHo, featuring bunny versions of Rider and Saizaki Minori from the manga Hokenshitsu no Shinigami.

Milk Angels 1 by Kakyouin Chiroru from circle Kuro Yuki. Is the follow up of his previous titles Milk Hunters and Milk Masters, but this time moving on to the cast of Fresh Precure!

Enikki Recycle 15 compilation of A1 (Initial-G) blog entries and the bonus book Ryuugu Komachi de Dokki Doki, featuring short haired Asuza and Iori from iM@S 2 plus a 3 pages collaboration by Nekoi Mii featuring Miki.

Tsukiwani from Circle Nuruma-ya works; Dai-chan Yaku Mousou, featuring Daiyousei, Rumia and Keine and his first non-ero work Alice no Tanjoubi, starring Alice and Marisa.

T-Moon Complex EX, the latest work by Shirotsumekusa of circle Crazy Clover Club, a bonus calendar and the 4 pages omake book Arcueid Complex 0.1.

This time he didn't had enough time to do his Fate vs. Tsukihime crossover, and did a gag doujinshi of Fate/EXTRA instead. I'm glad about it, because he's much better at gag situations.

Yuzuki N' (circle Lv. X+) stuff. A doujin based in her commercial work Another World called Another Another World and the C79 releases: the Amagami books Watashi no Itoshi no Wanko-kun (featuring Ayatsuji Tsukasa and Morishima Haruka), Soen Rihoko (starring Sakurai Rihoko) and the short and Valkyria Chronicles 3 centered Omake no Rakugaki Hon.

Super Kotori Time Soushuuhen Vol. 1 from circle Konton Lady Studio. This circle is formed by two artists Tee (drawings) and DIT (story) and is focused in IDOLM@STER works. They have another circle, Chaotic Otome Studio, for their non-ero and non-IM@S works.
This is the compilation of their previous works, starring Otonashi Kotori having erotic delusions with the IM@S girls. Tee drawings are really good and his works was in my wishlist for a while, so this compilation was an instant buy.

Takemura Sessyu works from the circle Chotto Dake Aru Yo. I knew the author for his commercial work Take on Me, but it was his first IDOLM@STER doujinshi that caught my attention. Haruka to Chihaya to Producer is, as the name suggest, a competent story about Haruka, Chihaya and Producer. The girls act a bit bitchy for my tastes, but the drawings are good looking. And totally not expected, X is a futanari orgy with Ryo as the special guest. I can tolerate futa in very small doses, so I'm not sure if I want to keep buying Takemura's works...

And Mahou Shoujo Soushuuhen 2 by RAITA from circle Zettai Shoujo. I already bought the previous compilation in 2006, and I patiently awaited for this.
Mahou Shoujo is an original story about a series of magical girls fighting sex fiends. As usual, RAITA's drawings are great and keeps improving.

Sasaki, the main heroine, in her first appearance (2003).

And this is Sasaki most recent design.

Doujinshi loot

At last, I got all the shipments of doujinshi that I was buying in the last couple of months.

Those are mostly Comic Market 78 releases, among a few C77 things that I didn't have enough money to buy in January and some C76 Valkyria Chronicles doujinshi.

In detail:

As usual, the works by Kikuta Kouji from circle King Revolver: Mikka Ato ni Inami-chan (featuring Mahiru, Izumi and Maya from Working!!) and Taisa no ga Notteimasu (featuring bikini Selvaria from Valkyria Chronicles).

I said previously that I systematically buy all his releases, even when features series, like Working!!, that I didn't watched.

Dai Nana Chijo Buntai, a Valkyria Chronicles book by Ogata Mamimi from circle Suginami Sakura.

I found Ogata Mamimi's works at Pixiv, bookmarked as favorite by Kikuta.
He doesn't have much work released despite being active as a doujinshi author since at least 1996. Most of his works were released at the circle AirΦpraitre, and his main themes are huge breast and bukkake.

The Touhou doujinshi Hakuro Douchuu and Parsee Shitto Mousou by Tsukiwani of Circle Nurumaya.

Hakuro Douchuu is like the "epilogue" of his delusional ladies series; Eirin, Yukari and Yuyuko enters in a dream of Kanako. Parsee Neta Mousou features Parsee, Yuugi and Satori.

Yuzuki N Dash (circle Lv. X+) works: Boku no Subete wo Taisa ni Sasagu (starring Selvaria), the C78 bonus Omake no Alicia-san Hon, featuring Valkyria Chronicles 2 version of Alicia, a stick poster of Anisette (Licorice in Japan), a bag featuring the valkyria loli Aliasse and the commercial work Another World.

I hardly ever buy original works (I prefer parodies of works that I already know), but Yuzuki N' latest works are growing on me...

Inue Shinsuke (circle Jingai Makyou) V Senjou Heaven's Door, a Valkyria Chronicles book sold at C76, and the omake book Watashi wa Watashi, a Valkyria Chronicles 2 book featuring Alexis, sold at C78.

I discovered Inue Shinsuke works because of some artwork he made for Fate/Zero. His doujinshi works are rather scarce, and his most recurrent theme is gangbang.

Now is focused in his commercial works: the manga versions of Heavy Object and Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai!.

Enikki Recycle 14, the blog entries compilation of A1 (Initial-G) compiling the second half of 2009. This time the omake booklet features Mami (iDOLM@STER 2 version) and Lynette from Strike Witches.

T-Moon Complex X 06 and T-Moon Complex X Soushuuhen II, that compiles the volumes 4, 5 and the old release T-Moon Complex S by Shirotsumekusa of circle Crazy Clover Club. As a bonus, a shitajiki featuring both covers.

It seems that the next one will be the last chapter, and after that he'll do Mahoutsukai no Yoru stuff.

The C78 limited stick posters: Ciel, Akiha and the maids...

...and Rin & Archer.

The only interesting thing sold at the TYPE-MOON booth in C78 was the Mahoutsukai no Hako set, the rest was pointless stuff from Mahoutsukai no Yoru.

I don't have anything against Mahoyo, but as I said previously for me a TYPE-MOON work without the drawings by Takeuchi is not a TYPE-MOON work...
The contents are a mobile phone bag, some candies (inside the bag) , a sticker, a set of 4 coasters, a very small booklet, a metal badge and a mobile phone cleaner.

The small booklet includes a mini Mahoutsukai no Hako encyclopedia, a gallery and a rough sketches page. In the picture Hibiki and Chikagi cosplaying.

Kyoto, Haru, an enormous A3 sized doujinshi by Takeuchi Takashi and Kobayashi Jin under the doujin circle Rubicon Hearts sold at C77. The rest are Postscript of Kyoto in the spring copy book and a set of 5 postcards.

The main theme is, as the name implies, Kyoto in spring. The poster-like pages are really gorgeous and features several emblematic places from Kyoto. Since I lived there for a while, is nice to recognize the places, for example the place in the picture above is Tetsugaku no Michi.

Postscript of Kyoto in the spring, sold at Comitia 91, shows some setting materials for the doujinshi. According to this book, the name of the blond girl is Ariel.

Comiket 77 loot (sort of)

On November, I sold over 150 volumes from my manga collection to raise funds for the new Comic Market 77 releases and stuff released in December and January.
Some of the series that I sold was because I got tired (Naruto, Tenjou Tenge), some of them was because there's no visible end in a long term future (One Piece) and some of them because for some reason I was never happy with it (Ai Yori Aoshi).
At the end I managed to get enough money to do almost all the purchases that I wanted via Yahoo! Auctions and some on-line shops.

The full color Kara no Kyoukai Gengashuu Kessaku Sen 3, containing key animations from the Kara no Kyoukai movies 6 and 7.

The ending scene.

A cute plush of Liang Pi, the chibi virtual version of Liang Qi that appeared in CANAAN episode 6.

The last volume of Fate/Zero Drama Cd and a box to contain all 4 volumes.

By far the most expensive item of this lot, Tsukihime Tsuushin Vol.2, a 4 pages leaflet that was a Tsukihime mail order privilege in 2001 and is available online in the old version of TYPE-MOON webpage. With this I have all 3 released!
T-Moon Complex X Soushuuhen 01 02 03, a compilation of the first 3 volumes of T-Moon Complex X crossover by Shirotsumekusa of circle Crazy Clover Club. Also included the convention only bonus C77 Omake Bon and an Arcueid and Saber clear posters.

Both posters displayed in the wall.

The picture diary compilation Enikki Recycle 13 and the omake book Dildo Stars (iDOLM@STER Dearly Stars) by A1 of Initial-G.

Sichimenchou from circle Kurusugawa Pikumintei works; the compilation of his blog entries Enikki Shuuroku CG Shuu and the copy-hon Aru Mousou no Sekaisen, a pin-up collection of the girls from the Xbox game Steins;Gate.

Cho Rakugaki 2009 Fuyu, a compilation of Tetsu works from circle Kimuchi. Sadly is even shorter than usual...

Ecchina Cosplay Asuka wo Meshiagare by Tsukimi Daifuku of the circle Shimekiri Sanpunmae.
Shortly before C76, I did a questionnaire in their homepage and complained about the lack of Evangelion... After that, the new release was this nice doujinshi starring a docile cosplayer Asuka. I want to believe that it was thanks to me...

2000---2009, a compilation of works by A-10 from the circle Gadget Koubou.
I don't recall when and how I found this circle, I think it was in 2001 when I found a scan of his doujin slow mo (included in this compilation) but may be even earlier.
A-10 is active since -at least- mid nineties and he does a lot of parodies with Iris from Sakura Taisen, Ishizu Moe from Gunparade March, Galadriel from Princess Crown and, oddly enough, Pastel and Princess Melora from TwinBee.

One of the few non-explicit pages.

His works have some weird fetishes (panty and body sniffing, crossdressing, girls getting laid while sleeping and/or drugged...), but his drawing style always keeps a "classical" feeling that I find very appealing.
Is the first time his works are sold at consignment shops (I purchased this via Tora no Ana webshop), so until now his doujinshi are usually sold for 1000-4000 yen at second hand shops. Because of that, even if this is not a complete compilation (he does a lot of colaborations in diferent circles), the 11 works included are really worth it.

Izurikona and Copy Hon Soushuuhen 3 by Kikuta Kouji of circle King Revolver. I also ordered the doujinshi Oute, but Shopping Mall Japan forgot to add it in this shipment...

More from the "Delusional Ladies series" by Tsukiwani from Circle Nurumaya; Yuukarin Yume Mosou, released for the Comiket 77, starring Yuuka and featuring Cirno and Wriggle, and Eikikki Yume Mousou, a Comic Treasure 15 release starring Shikieiki and featuring Komachi and Marisa.

And a box of Weiß Schwarz cards, THE IDOLM@STER Dearly Stars Extra Pack. Missing 12 for a non parallel full set.

I got an expensive parallel signed card of Ryo!
