I just bought one of these on eBay, it's shipping on Monday.

the postman delivered me some good news today :)

Nope. Comiket Service tends to accidentally lump lots of doujin into the porn category because, well. That's most of what they sell. The one you've linked there is a harmless collection of scripts for Haibane-Renmei.

(He's done some pieces that have tasteful/artistic nudity in them, and he often sticks non-porn gag comics in the middle of the porn-filled Muteki-Fire anthology doujins, but so far as I know, no actual porn.)

So, if he didn't draw porn, then what's the "sexual schene" that is apparently "featured" in this doujinshi of his?

There isn't any - they mislabeled it. They do that a lot.

Example: here's the second of the original Haibane-Renmei doujins. Check the description.

http://www.comiketservice.sakura.ne.jp/a9/937-e.htm

Once again, they say it has "Sexual Schene Featured."

...now, assuming I've seen the same doujin as they're selling, there wasn't anything even vaguely sexual in it.

Maybe a "sexual schene" is different from a "sexual scene". :P

Anyway yeah, it seems that they just suck at classifying their doujinshi.

Since someone mentioned porn -

I don't feel like any HR hentai, but if anyone has any light shouho-ai of the cast, esp. Rekki/Rakka, please share. I mean stuff like holding hands and blushing, a little kiss, things like that. I've got the one of them kissing in the snow. thx!

I normally hate AMVs, but that was fantastic!

really well done.

Its originally from akross.ru site
(akrosscon 2006). By russian amvmaker )

This might be the best AMV I seen so far.

Does anyone know where I might be able to acquire a copy of the song that's played? >_> I've tried looking around for the artist, but I haven't been successful in my searches.

This song is russian pop artist "Максим - Знаешь ли ты" (russian name of this)

This song reminds me that I'll eventually have to add Russian to the list of languages I can speak. :)

The author has now added a higher-quality version, available from the same website. However, the increase in quality doesn't seem proportional to the increase in file size (which went from 32.9 to 96.2 MB).

Also, It has come to my attention that a random collection of nine of Maksim's songs can be downloaded here: http://rapidshare.com/files/9725096/Maksim.rar.html

(Crap, this was supposed to go in the scenario collection thread)

Do they ship internationally?

They do (hence the all-english version of the site). Their prices seem a bit exorbitant, though - $55 for Ryusei Gachou, for instance.

Screw the price, I want Ryusei Gachou! @_@

rabidkimba has _7.

I think I have _7 somewhere around my house or in one of my boxes of doujin... I could give it to vacbob if I ever dig it out so he can scan it.

I really wish the guy that was supposed to ship me pochiyama 2 would ship it to me, too. :(

beaten by seconds :(

_ is some sketches and a whole lot of text about NieA. I could scan it, but I also have some SERIOUS BUSINESS HR and Lain doujin that look interesting.

(and by that i mean i borrowed rk's)

>>7
So did you order it? I didn't. I couldn't bring myself to pay that much money for it, especially after getting some other stuff for my friends and family (and myself in the name of my parents. They're wonderful, letting me buy what I'd like for my Christmas gift.)

>>13

I wish. I've shot my $$$ on buying gifts this year, and what spending money I have left is reserved for a trip I'm taking this week. :P

close-ups

done

oh except for this

(last post is just in case you want a really big O_O face or something)

Thanks a ton mvb.. these are great! (yes i'm still around btw) :P

For convenience' sake, I'll stick this in a torrent for everybody to share-and-enjoy. I think I can pull it off without too many hiccups, even.

Good to see that you're still around, Nova!

And here it is:

That's not the whole doujin, there's about this again many pages of very small text that we would never have a hope of translating.

I'll move on to selections from a Lain and an HR doujin, both third-party, unless someone really wants a lot of text about NieA.

I know this is an old-ish thread, but if you're willing to post the pages of text, I'll work on translating. I'm conversational in Japanese, but I need more practice with reading the kanji and such.

This picture would be so pretty if that jaw weren't so messed up. Other than that, it's gorgeous.

This is pretty much my favorite piece of non-Japanese fanart ever.

This is kinda grey area, don't you think?

...wait what? What's wrong with the image? Aside from the fact that they seem to be connected like siamese-twins if you look at it closely.

Hold on, the thought just occurred to me for the first time that perhaps they're SUPPOSED to be siamese twins, in which case I guess I can see what you mean.

I totally didn't even think that when I saw the image.

It's an image by the inimitable Lowlife. The full image is here:

Interesting.

So cute
