"Danshi Gurashi" Chapter 3

K3

Here’s chapter 3 of “Danshi Gurashi”. I feel like this chapter finally begins the series… and then it abruptly ends. The fourth chapter is more like an extra short story. This should have been a longer running more developed series. I want to know more about Ryouga and Keigo’s friendship and school life. I want to explore friendship amongst young men more. It’s so rare for shoujo to explore male bonds without involving a girl in a love triangle. Guys have great stories about the stupid adventures they have with their male roommates. And guys have feelings of jealousy and … Continue reading "Danshi Gurashi" Chapter 3

New Series "Chiisana O’Ningyo Biyori" (The Daily LIves of Tiny Mermaids) Chapter 1 by Umi Minami

K3

We are solidly out of Horror-Shoujo Mangaland. And now onto some fun. This is another series from Hatsu Kiss. So far it’s been released in Japan every two months. The art style is kinda rough, but storytelling and humor are good. I especially like the personalities of the tiny mermaids. Anyhow, this is a gag-comedy series more or less, so expect some “stoopid”. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. And now onto the release!Links to “Chiisana O’Ningyo Hiyori” Chapter 1: (PDF) (Zip) Next up will be the rest of “Danshi Gurashi”! Please look forward to it!

Urban Legend Oneshot #1 "Satsujin Douga" ("Snuff Film") by Ryo Azuki

K3

This is from a long running shoujo-horror oneshot anthology from Bonita magazine called “Yamitoshi Densetsu” (“Black Urban Legends”). This oneshot and the Halloween Day oneshot are from “Fushi Chou” (“Immortal Butterfly”), the second anthology. These oneshots are typical of what … Continue reading Urban Legend Oneshot #1 "Satsujin Douga" ("Snuff Film") by Ryo Azuki

I Lied — "Rocker in Locker" by Tama Yukida

K3

I lied. This is an opportunist release and it’s another cute story. There’s no horror in it at all. We were going to do a day after Halloween thing and discuss the various traditions around November 1st, but quite frankly, I think we’re all exhausted and need a break. Some of those planned oneshots are in some state of completion, so we’ll release them after we take a short break and release some of our regular monthly series. I’ll detail our plans for the rest of fall and winter in a later blog post. Thanks to Peonine for a fun … Continue reading I Lied — "Rocker in Locker" by Tama Yukida
