If anybody is reading Silver Diamond, just want to let you guys know that Bushido Angel
Adventures just released v.08 ch. 23.
It's a long series, so if you haven't read it yet and got time, give this one a
try. It promise you that it won't disappoint.
Re-reading some Kotobuki Tarako classics. LMAO as of this moment. ^^
merged: 01-22-2008 ~ 01:16am [SHIMOTSUKI Kairi] Heaven's Love - Cry
is in love with his best friend, Sid, who is too clueless to realize Cry's
feeling or his own. Cry's over protective bro, Hard has a brother complex. So
will Sid finally realize his own feelings or feel disgusted by the kiss between
Hard and Cry? Read it to find out.
I had been waiting for this one to come out for a long time now. I really like
this mangaka because she always draw these really cool, detailed punk rock
outfits for her characters. The story develops in a nice pace. Not the most
original story, but when accompanied by the art, it's a nice story.
@lady-lotus
I was talking about ball jointed dolls! not a person
lols. You know, those korean (I think) dolls. I think they're very in (and
expensive) now.
@silverdragon - whos's bjd? Sometimes momoco's character's eyes reminded of
those SD dolls. I like those lips a lot as well. lols. ^^
yea, i am pushing the weekly goodies back a few weeks because of these scans.
I'll be uploaded them in parts and whole because some ppl have diff. internet
connection.
Thanx for your opinion! *HUG*
@reirei777 - Yes, it's a let down. I am checking out other artist that have
similar styles as her. Those are so under appreciated. I hope those will release
artbooks in the future.
Ok, the last artbook report is gonna be a bit late because I am downloading the
whole preview scan off emule (again). Someone already took digital photos of
every pic in the artbook and most HQ scans can be found on MT and somewhere
else. When I finish downloading, I'll share them with you guys right alway.
thanx so much for momoco artbook report I've
been to her blog before and I really like her style! And the artbook seems to
have some awesome pictures. Love the eyes, the lips and all those frills and the
feeling they remind me of bjd (which I also love).
I also like it better when things are shared in one go (not by parts) and if
you're sharing the chibis and postcards it can be considered weekly goods too so
no prob ;D I don't know which size are the postcards but if they're what I think
I would say 1200px-2000px is already pretty good.
Well, since reirei777 was the only who one replied, I'll upload the whole chibi
package this week (indiviually & in 2 parts & in a whole zip)
After much consideration, I decided to share the Heise postcard package with the
group members only as well.
You ask why?
1. Well, for starters, she doesn't do her own background (in most of her pics)
or give credit to them.
2. If you been to her DA and seen some messages posted there, then you might
know what i am talking about.
She had been caught in the controversy of copying works from other artist.
proof. So that's why I don't want to submit them on MT because I am afraid
that she might have referenced it to some other artist's work.
I am not too happy with what she has done. But it's so ironic that she always
like to put her name on her work and not to bother with the artists she ripped
off from. I hope she can create more original works in the future because she
does have talent in photoshop.
I am sorry if I seemed a bit pissed. BUT What I hate more than bad scans are
horrible original copies. I had a very hard time scanning them. My blood really
boils when I see them.
The 2nd chibi packet are printed on better paper, so those will be scanned last
after the postcards.
Now, I need some opinions again for the postcard scans.
1. how big do you guys want them?
(ex. 1200px-2000px in width, or do you guys want it bigger than that?)
2. postcards are going to be bigger in size (bite rates), so again, how would
you like me to release them.
I think they accept credit cards. As for paypal, i think ebay china acceept it.
But I have never try that before.
merged: 01-18-2008 ~ 01:04am
Ok, just finished scanning half of the chibi package. Now, on to editing. I am a
bit unsure about how to share it with you guys. Do you me to release the whole
package with you guys or separated in two parts (ex. pt.1 can be released this
week and pt2. can be released next week)? If you want me to release the whole
thing, then the weekly goodies will be pushed back to next week. Please let me
know what you guys want.

Art Book Report ~part IV~
Title: Fraust x Egg Age
Artist: Momoco (Xu Jia)
Format A4
pages: 96
price: $68.00 RMB
extra: manga booklet
shop: if you know a friend or family member in china that have Alipay & can
mail it to you, then PM me.
A special mail in order artbook. Printed on HQ glossy paper.
The book is filled with beautiful, dark, gothic, CG work. Black leather buckles,
detailed Victorian laces, white ruffle dress shirts, long finger nails, luscious
hair, rouge full lips, dark eyes shadows and everything else dramatic. Colors
ranging from sapphire blue to ash gray or from ruby red to sinful black. Her
drawings ranges from different mood, emotion, theme, setting, etc. There's a lot
of European elements in her work. She like to draw men with long wavy hair. Her
B&W pics are as much beautiful as her colored ones. The quality, layout, and
price is really perfect. I can't ask for anything more. It's all here.
Her Blog (in chinese) -
include a lot of her work.
its sorta like a dateing sim u have to chose what u think is rigth and the
longer u can keep that up hte more sex sceens u unlock
u have to go on missions to get with thes men and make them relize something
througt alot of sex
idk if u can redo lvevls that u do bad on couse on the 2 i did i got an A and a
B
ok, since the artbook is like 22 something, that's like about $3-4 USD. So when
you add up the shipping (should be around 10usd) in total, it's like around 15
bucks. It's only the shipping that cost a lot.
merged: 01-17-2008 ~ 12:48pm
I'll look more in detail about their shipping, payment, etc.
Quote by Lady-LotusIf you really want
to buy it, I can compile a step by step process. They have DHL & UPS. DHL is
around 10. UPS is more expensive. I haven't try international shipping yet, so I
really don't know if it's reliable or not even if they're amazon.
before we go through that can you till me how much it will be in us dollars?

Title: Tang Ka's Illustration Collection ~Sound of Color~
format: A4 (finally, something that's like an japanese artbook)
pages: approx 100
price: 32.80 RMB
paper: glossy paper
shop: amazon.cn
They do take international order.
(I am a bit unsure if Tangka is a she or he at the moment)
The cover doesn't do the artbook justice AT ALL because one would hardly notice
it. "Sound of Color" was a great title because once you flip through
the pages, the drawings speak to you. I asked my dad to buy this in the last
minute and it was so worth it. The style is a combination of Shel & Rain.
What's different from Shel was that her characters look more mature and grown
up. It's similar to Rain's style in that the strains of smoke & clouds in
some of the pictures gives off a mistfying calmness that blends so naturally
with the surrounding. However there's something about her/his work that stands
out. I can't quiet put my finger on it yet. But I do know that I like her more
than Shel & Rain combine.
Because of all the pretty boys in this one, I decided to post this one
here.
Blog (in chinese) - on the left
panel, there's red text in blod letter, click on that and you can see her/his
gallery album.
I am more busy than I though I would. So I am not sure if I can get the scans in
time....

With Love Mode, v01 really throws the readers off because the story get SO much
better and interesting with vol2 and so on. Reiji x Naoya is one of my fav yaoi
couples ever! You really get to see Shimizu sensei's art work inprove in this
series as well.
I have two top fav mangaka. 1st, Naono Bohra, 2nd, Inariya Fusanosuke. I tried
to think of a 3rd one, but it's just too hard. lols.
like bebeautiful hun? That doesn't sound too good. T.T
Good luck with your finals!
As of right now, what I can't believe is that ppl would actually buy/sell a
first english edition of Viewfinder for over 100 bucks or even more.
Well I've finally decided on one to buy
After all those Yamada Yuugi stories I've found Laugh under the Sun that isn't
yet scanleted and is related to some other works from, besides it's from June
Manga which I'm quite pleased with.
I agree DramaQueen should hurry and start releasing their licensed titles
already, since there are so many and their books and editing is pretty good.
Blu's books I believe are from the same quality as bebeautiful, the translation
and editing I don't know. Also can't be really sure cause I don't own any, I've
just had a love mode one in my hands before, but didn't buy it at the
time.
[Yamakami Riyu] Mitasareru Kuchibiru - I've also read it before and I think it's
quite good but I usually like her stories so...
When I finish my exams I'll tell about my favorite stories in case someone is
interested
@ imconfused
What's absolute obedience like? Story and how the game goes on...
They always over charge here, but I think a bit TOO much. After looking over
some other chinese CG artist similar to Heise, I am starting to have 2nd
thoughts about her because there are so many other artist that do similar work,
if not better.
merged: 01-15-2008 ~ 10:58pm [Yamakami Riyu]
Mitasareru Kuchibiru - I don't know how I missed this manga. Once you read
her work, you know her stories are great. This one is no surprise either.
Takashi is seen as a 'gloomy' guy that's in the shadow of his step-brother who
suppresses and manipulates him. But what happens when Takashi meets Kurose, a
playboy who has taken an interest in Takashi's beauty which others had missed?
You see a GREAT transformation of the character. I really like the way Yamakami
sensei draws those powerful stares. Very compiling. So please give this one a
try and tell me what do you think of it.
