This is probably this blog's biggest post yet, I had to prepare for this from
Monday and lasted the whole week just because, and I conceptualized this
almost a month ago to give credit to Japan's indie artists. And after
following some of them for more than a year, I think I can confidently do this
now.
This is the closest I can make it to a Comiket without actually being there.
This is what people do if they had a lot of money (and didn't have to pay for
international shipping) and actually went to every single booth out of the
hundreds of them at Tokyo Big Sight to check them out.
So as you can see, there is plenty of motivation to do this despite the
logistical hurdles which we will cover later. I've been into the doujin art
platform Pixiv so much over the past year, so much so I actually put them up
as phone wallpapers on days I don't want to see voice actresses lol why are
you lying to your Ajuju *giggles* As to what made me end up with this and
how I got what I have though, this will be a longer story to tell.
I only got around to order them using Buyee when August just started but this
is where my issues actually began: Pre-order and everything else were ordered
separately by Buyee. In regret, I now recall that Zenmarket will be able to
compile and order them together, making me save on shipping fees and/or be
able to align the timings for these orders considering that, and this is what
got me anxiety for the past week, the initial list of items not on pre-order
had to wait almost a month for the pre-order items to appear. *cringe*
Almost had to pay for more money just to add additional days to keep the
former batch on their warehouse. I even went on to inquire their staff on the
latter batch via email because tracking wasn't even showing properly on their
website which is probably more infuriating than I have thought. (So yeah,
Zenmarket always from now on, me)
We will from here on cover 11 other artists apart from Yomu-sensei which -
because we did that recently but instead - will be replaced by the Comiket 102
catalogue made by Melonbooks themselves, we will talk about the purpose of
that later.
I feel like putting a summary here before we proceed, so here are all the
artists in review based on various criteria which I think are relevant to our
topic of conversation moving on. I will not, however, talk about their
relevance in the industry because there will be no end to this but you may
find some of them familiar here if you know of them, specifically in their
involvement on character design of specific virtual YouTubers that I suppose
are the thing these days in Japan's streaming scene.
This post will feature as much review talk as possible by (1) not showing any
"rated content" as there will be quite a lot I promise you lmao, (2) not
showing too much content and as much as I like to show these off these are
still copyrighted material and they are not heavily circulated online (yet),
and (3) sharing their respective social media posts if I can find them, and
leave the rest to your imagination.
So, before we proceed... *giggles*
Okay okay, now that you have consented to not telling your parents about
what you are about to see, let's do this! *giggles*

Ah, about that faded block on the last book though...
HOW IT ACTUALLY WENT
Well, let's talk about what went wrong. If you would recall, the plan was to
get 12 books to review, 11 of them are featuring doujin artists and their
own illustrations, but welp, that didn't go the way I want. Due to having to
ensure the logistics will go my way, I hesitated for weeks in order to make
the pre-order batch align with the others (and ordering them separately
won't make this easier because storage time) so some items in the pre-order
batch, just went out of stock.
And that was Nakamura-sensei's first illustration book under
doujin circle RIKKA (which will be mentioned again later), and it sold out
real quick considering they have quite a following online and people are
quick to know about this. Still, I wish I was quick to the chase when there
are several occasions where I could have placed a pre-order (due to updates
on the site, people may cancel) if not for my dumb actions which I tried on
the Thursday before its release date when I recall I was on course and I
could've done on the morning I saw it was available, also in that weekend
when I saw that happen again in the evening and it wasn't until late night
did the proxy service catch up. I know, I can only blame myself, the biggest
regret I have so far this year alone *wink*, and I cannot stop looking at
that product page every day to see if any glimpse of hope will happen after
its release date during the Comiket weekend.
So yeah,
don't mind
that! I can't keep dwelling on this. Maybe we can do this again and I'll try
to get a copy! *sob*
Okay okay let's unboxing! It has to happen every month now haha I know we
may have a lot to talk about but still THIS!?? *open box hand gestures*
|
This was what my sis who is working from home sent me, I wanted to
scream so bad in the office
*laughs*
|
|
But it's only when I reached home and realized IT IS SO BIG haha
(The
previous package and my army boots, for comparison lol)
|
|
All the packaging keeping my items safe and my wallet empty
(Haha
yes these cost money btw)
|
|
| Oh? *blessed* |
|
|
Uh, what's below these?
|
|
|
Ah, it's just another batch. *laughs*
|
|
Oh hey, Minori-sensei, I see you.
(Also "gaman" by the way I can't hold on any longer too-)
|
|
|
Okay I have no idea what this is, let me get the penknife out again...
|
|
|
Oh alright so this is the initial order batch sitting there for almost
a month...
|
|
|
... and this is the pre-order batch with Minori-sensei's being the
last one to wait to ship out.
|
|
|
Oh yeah this is the store bonus if you buy 92M-sensei's book from
Melonbooks
|
|
And this is the pre-order bonus for Rangu-sensei's book
(Hehe
this looks like
Kisara-)
|
|
Ladies and gentlemen... presenting to you, our contestants!!
(Hehe
this is awesome ngl)
|
And since I did this in the wrong order compared to the table of contents
lol, let's do it that way instead! Might as well make the best out of the
worst situations, right? Haha some of these few are going to be lore heavy
in these artworks, just in case you wonder.
|
Oh yeah, you can clearly see the roles on this one haha also skin
(This
is the illustration card I get for pre-ordering from Melonbooks)
|
Starting off, and this is probably the reason why I started all of this and
ditched my initial plan of buying their character postcards, it's
Chigusa Minori's illustration book! This is their first I believe,
and it's about
a couple of girls in involved with each other, to the
point of sexually. Yes, this is
the yuri couple
that is frowned upon(?) in society and somehow alright in the world of Anime
(lmao), even still, this is not a popular genre in itself. However against
all odds,
Minori-sensei impressed us with their lovely drawings, a
somewhat compelling story now I'm less geared towards shy Shino-chan with a
huge rack and more towards aggressive handsome girl Ren-chan, and I'm not
going to mention how much
gratuitous skin exposure (click at your own risk) you'll see on their works. *giggles* Still,
I've followed them a long time coming
I'm pretty sure they are the first for me on Pixiv equivalent to
marupi-chan on Instagram (not relevant but) which makes this more impressive
than I can ever thank them for.
ζ¬ Chigusa Minori "Shino to Ren"
|
|
This book is thicc af it's as if I bought a comic book 100 pages
worth
|
|
Oh! This is actually a comic series, sweet!
11 chapters with
extra?
This is the same price as the average here?? HOW???
(Haha)
|
|
|
Origin story, apparently Shino got saved from a dude by Ren lol
|
|
|
Yeah and the guy realized there is a
girls' love
situation going on
|
|
Damn.
*speechless*
(Haha)
|
|
This is how I knew.
*laughs*
|
|
|
Imagine not being able to tie the
sash to
your
bathrobe
by yourself because you can't see your waist-
|
|
Apparently, Ren-chan is doing this facing towards everyone in the
changing room lol
(Yes, thanks for the
exposure
play haha what)
|
|
This seems to be a thing among these two, by the way.
And I
like. *laughs*

Apparently for Ren-chan's hair, lore goes that purple is past her,
red hair is current her before Shino-chan gave her a headband,
black was for school inspection, and she dyed inner hair to
Shino's favourite colour red
|
|
|
This book in a nutshell by the way and I am not joking haha
|
|
A decent summary of what we will be covering next
(This is also
the most expensive book here this HAS to be worth it)
|
Next up, and I'm surprised I'm more excited after I've seen it for myself,
this is
92M's illustration book for their regular comic series "Kinshi no Ane"! I knew of this series mostly due to them
being somewhat idolizing of Yomu-sensei on social, and despite the kinda lacklustre drawings, I think what drew me in the
most is the lore, and boy I really should not say that, about a sibling
relationship where the elder sister loves her younger brother too much.
*silence* We will unveil that as I talk about the book in a bit, but I feel
like I may have caught up with all the story and not have to go with my
initial plan of buying now FIVE volumes of the comic series. As you will
also see the dialogue is drawn in unlike actual Manga which are typed in, so
it's a bit hard to read even by my proficiency level. *giggles* Still, this
is a wonderful series with delightful pictures of an elder sister to please
(hehe), so if you are into *ahem* not *ahem* sibling love this will go right
up your- Ears, ears haha there isn't Anime adaptation here but you fancy
ASMR?
There's a lot more lore on this though so if you are any interested I
IMPLORE you to buy the whole series down and tell me the story lmao *dabs*
ζ¬ 92M "Gashuu Kinshi no Ane"
|
Short red hair, has rack, wears glasses...
What more do you
need from your attractive sister?
*laughs*
|
|
|
Okay, this book is split into 4 seasons, with specials as usual

Lore goes that she only wears the one given by the brother in
front of him (didn't change the lens though), and she bought a
proper pair for herself with its distinctive "under frame" design

She's not my type though so

Haha she is here to wreck havoc though
[Also on Twitter]

This is pretty good imagination bro, I'll give you that.
That
is until I know this is your sister lmao
|
|
|
The mom lore lol there is a lot more outside of the book though
FYI
|
|
Okay which one will you choose?
Sister's friend
or
sister?
(Uh, for legal reasons I'll take the friend lol)
|
|
Haha friend with the nice cover only my bro will be disappointed
lol
[Also on Twitter]

Oh yeah, you think this is alright just by covering it?
*shakes
head*

So, introducing the actual girl... friend of the brother haha
(Who

Okay the friend director wants her to put off all shame for the

[Also on Twitter]

I feel like we should have done this before all these but heck, let's do it
now! This is
Melonbook's C102 Catalogue where obviously Melonbooks
curated a bunch of artists with their artworks to give you a general idea of
what is going on in the doujin fair! Interestingly, they also sold
a more complete edition featuring 120 artists
but then that did not come with event tickets so that you can actually spend
even more money considering that there is ALSO
a rated version of the catalogue featuring mature artists which obviously I didn't buy or else I can't
even show you the cover lol. But otherwise this is just a smaller selection
of 23 artists so that I can talk about some of them, and overall it's just a
more expensive illustration book featuring artwork you might not like.
*silence* Hey it isn't too bad you can judge it for yourself!
ζ¬
Melonbook Girls Collection: Beautiful

Okay this is a little sus this isn't from Comiket 102 haha
(Yes,
I know, Comiket isn't the only doujin fair)
|
Alright we can move on for now and talk about the rest and I promise it
won't be as long as the first two above, we have reached pure territory
people and this is a rarity in my opinion or maybe it's because they are
Taiwanese, this is
Hiten's spring season illustration book! This is their 15th already
so talk about experience in the field this might be the longest, I followed
them after
what legends I've seen from them that I can stare at forever, and ironically, I did not buy their book
for this Comiket. *silence* This is also one of those cases where the
older illustration books caught my eye more, so I went with their
latest spring season book! Trust me, and I'll show you how I have made the
right choice real quick, and also expect this to be the average size of
these books which cost below 1000yen, we are in that price range now. Easy
on the wallet, is what
doujinshi
are known for, by the way. They should not cost a bomb so it's an easy entry
to liking the rest of their work.
ζ¬ Hiten "With You"
|
Woah who is this adorable lady???
I didn't see this on
Twitter hehe
|

Oh, this was from a book some Comikets ago, no wonder

|
|
Okay this is not how this works- Hahaha
(This is how we get Hiten-sensei to draw sexy stuff, I promise
you)
|
Alright so next up, and damn I'm sorry for saying the long ones are over
because this one Miwano Ragu's 10th anniversary illustration book is
obviously worth 10 years of content from them, I think specially done for
Comiket 100 which was last year so I missed it totally haha, still think
their artwork is very jack-of-all-trades awesome, a master at none
but whatever they draw, however they draw is very representative of their
animated style, and
I can confidently say I liked 80% of the 50 images they showed. I
mean, less talk more images, I guess! Captivation is what I think the theme
is to be frank, it's just amazing imo
ζ¬ Miwano Ragu "eyes on me"
|
|
Beautiful, beautiful cover this might be the best one out of the
12 here
|
|
Oh damn, 50 images huh. Can't all be masterpieces but heck, I'm
in!
*giggles*
(They are also all on Twitter so you're
welcome you freeloader lol)
|
|
And yes, I say 50 images instead of 100 pages just because half of
the pages are just a title and short description lol scammed

As you can see, this is for their 10th anniversary?
Impressive,
to be honest.
|
Moving on down to smaller boobs books (haha) but moving up
to celebrity status, up next we have
Fuumi's summer compilation illustration book! Eh, this one is also
not new, this one is from Comiket 100 too I really missed doing this one a
year ago and I'm sorry, but this is very relevant to the season we are at
now, it's all about summer! So yeah, light clothing is a theme right here
and also as mentioned earlier, they are the
character designer for Hololive VTuber Tsunomaki Watame- And
introductions over haha remember I said not to talk about celebs too much?
Still, their artwork is on the lines of Anime standards so I won't
complain, but I will nag about why this is
basically a sellout book talking about their recent works for other
mainstream Anime works and so on, making me want to share less of them if
possible lest I get copyright strikes. *giggles* Well, let's show what we
can then! Haha you wait till these indie stuff get popular in 2 years and
this site gets taken down...
ζ¬ Fuumi "SUMMER HOLIDAYS"

Yup, actual sellout time, fellas!

why am I single-

Oh this one got an Anime adaptation last year, congrats!
(Don't
ask me which not adventure series this is, thanks)
[Also on Twitter]
|
|
Seriously though this is also for Comiket 100? Where was I??
(Haha
loser)
|
Well, not to be confused with Ragu-sensei here so I decide to put Watame in
between these guys so I can remember their names separately, this is
Rangu's illustration book for Comiket 102! Yes, finally some latest
stuff haha, but then again who am I lying to many of these are drawn over
time and shared online, but still. This one I took a little fancy on them
mainly because of the
slightly more emphasized lines in their drawings which I think I got
used to, and I think they got me time and time again on Pixiv so I decided
to give their latest publication a go. Yeah, it's as if they set me up to
buy this book, which will be what most of them here are also so don't think
too much into that. *giggles* Also don't be too surprised to see sellout
portions here, they are currently doing a gallery in location? That's
cool actually, being able to see people admire your work at this modern day
and age. And that's why they have half a million followers on Twitter/X? If
you aren't impressed, I am. Let's see more daily lives of beautifully drawn
2D women- That is for all of them haha
ζ¬ Rangu "Nichijou Sekai"
|
|
Let's see
they are holding a solo gallery... I think we missed it lmao ah hey this was technically released on
Comiket so you did have 2 weeks to go see it
|
Oh boy let's keep this train going we are in newbie territory now I think,
this is Sano Hiyori's very first art book for Comiket 102! I have to
say right off the bat though, for being quite a newbie in the field I think
they started 2 years ago,
the drawings are quite up to (my) standards and I'm really impressed
on what I see though I also see a lot of skin but what is Anime without some
cleavage and revealing outfits, isn't it? *laughs* Jokes aside, I actually
saw this while I was thinking of what to put in my cart from Melonbooks, and
despite how hard it is to use their filter functions,
I managed to see this gem within the pile of books sold, and did
not hesitate to take their work into consideration. I think this is what it
feels like to like bunny girls then- Wait. *laughs*
ζ¬ Sano Hiyori "LOVE IT"
|
I'm not that into little girls small women (lmao)
but I think they have convinced me
[Also on Twitter]

Don't think they are

If the cover's No.1 this can be No.2 bunny girl hehe
|
|
|
I just want to show the confused Anime eyes hehe "nurse bunny" btw
|
|
This has two pages worth but I want you to support their work so
I'll leave this to myself
(Hehe *dabs*)
|
Moving on towards pureness again because I wonder why I can't just buy these
artwork and move on haha rack is where all the money's at apparently, this
is
Komizuki's very first illustration book! It's not meant for Comiket
and this was released end of last year which was a compilation of their
works over the past few years from back in 2019 where they were even softer
in their art, but for me though I noticed their work most because of their
fine drawings against soft and balanced backgrounds so good they can be desktop wallpapers
if you have not noticed that sooner than me or the artist themselves as they
write their comment in the book. That is probably the ideal combination I
can think of with regards to these art forms so see Hiten-sensei again, and
this is probably more along the lines of what I think doujin art is and is worth following. I may be wrong, but I think this purchase is
right, you can't stop me. *giggles*
ζ¬ Komizuki "Spatial"

Environment space is so much of the theme here, even the book
dimensions are different.
This cover is actually adorable tbh

Oh boy I hope you enjoyed some cute girls in beautiful backgrounds without
showing any skin whatsoever, because I'm going to continue back the summer
trend from here on with (their full name is long so I'm going with)
FuwaOmu's first illustration book! I was first fascinated from
the cover of this book in the Melonbooks store so they just dropped in as
quick as Hiyori-sensei but maybe a little later (hehe), and I think what got
me into them is definitely
keeping to the Anime-like drawing standards someone made a decade ago
I don't even know who now, but heck, if this is something standard and
beautifully drawn, I cannot say no. Thank goodness the author did not pursue
AI artwork in their comment or else I may have broken a record here lol, but
they are
working on NFTs
and using AI to help out on their drawings in some way so meanwhile
let's preserve this as their best hand drawn work. The theme here is
devils in
lingerie as hinted by the cumulation of words in the title. *silence* Simple
enough. *laughs*

So many questions

O~kay what is with this where's the demon part?
This is just
bunny girl with wings now lmao

Oh they even have profiles? Some of them are even of human
age??
(So this is like what, transformations? I want to know
more hehe)

I have to say, I have the sudden desire to woo the bottom one:
Tall
enough, very feminine interests, doesn't like
guys who like to pick up girls
though but who cares though amirite fellas?
|

Wow this is the first time I've seen someone's
three sizes
described in Japanese lol
(And the waist is a
secret
haha B-"large" though)

Man, I like this trend of firsts in these artbooks because damn are there a
lot of firsts here for the lot of them which are actually great starting
points to encourage them to sell some of their artwork for all to see. This
one though, is
KUREHA's illustration book release for C102! They
did not get a slot on this Comiket and the upcoming winter one though and
that's a pity, but that does not stop them from releasing something to
commemorate the occasion. Actually, they have released TWO books for the
occasion, with one of them, uh, rated R-18 in Japan. *laughs* Of course, the
one I possess is not the one that will get me banned, I think what might
have gotten me when I saw their works on Pixiv from time to time is likely
the focus on
very sizable proportions of a woman which many men want and I as a
heterosexual male won't deny I want
a perfectly packaged girlfriend
or anything, but honestly saying anything goes for me at my age and this
one's 18 too. I meant the character in this book, not the artist. *laughs*
But I would argue that
this might be more than borderline unsafe for my everyday viewing
standards (haha) and just like 92M-sensei, they have a (Pixiv) FANBOX account
where they let you unlock not just high resolution images, but those with
more skin to the point of nudity. *silence* I shall elaborate no more I'm
not going to sub to see those anyways haha you are also won't get to see
them here

Even the cover should trigger something in you to be frank.
For
me to get the R18 version? Haha not me though

This is how they intro to us this girl?
Okay she has a name
she's called Tsubasa (ah hey title reference)

Even without something in between those buns they will also find a
way to make them split in the middle

Haha uh oh your gal found you watching "PervSite"!
Why are
you watching porn when you have a hot girlfriend?
(Yeah I
guess so to not violate her...?)

This is as much skin as I can show you here lmao
|
|
Sweat seems to be a thing with KUREHA-sensei I don't know why
(Oh
true the profile did write Tsubasa-chan likes sports)
(Also
hell yeah
underboob)

And here's some insight to how they do their sketches, line
drawings, and reach their final work!
All for the one image,
ladies and gentlemen.

And last but not least... *sigh* haha I really should not end this on a sad
note but I guess I shall, this should have been a slot for
Nakamura's first illustration book but damn did I botch this real
bad. I actually only
saw them on Twitter recently thanks to the algorithmic feeds that
show me random stuff but also from the artists I follow so I forgot who
showed me to them, but I was captivated time and time again till the point
that
I seriously think their standards might be a lot higher than most of them
here, even to 92M-sensei honestly. Sadly, I didn't manage to buy their book...
THRICE in total haha, but we can still talk about them! I like these ones
more so don't mind the longer commentary lol *dabs*

This view is amazing, you know, the "between water and sky" kind
of camera view?
This can only happen in Anime haha

No, you did not see wrongly, I used a placeholder for the rest of them.
*laughs* And yes, this is what you see when Pixiv decides somehow to block
them on the official mobile app lol
|
Trying to make this as colourful as I can haha
(On second thought
I should've bought a bag to put these in)
|
Phew, I rubbed out a long one. *laughs* I mean rode- "wrote". *laughs* My
arms are aching for the past few nights as I take photos and type the stuff
out above steadily every night by the way, not like these women will be
massaging my shoulders after what I've done for them. *giggles* Will I even
do a Part 2 out of this just so I can compensate for what I may have missed?
And the half a dozen artist I've seen for the past month since I started
ordering for this very review? I don't know, dude, ask my backlog ie. my
wallet. *laughs* But I unlikely won't mostly due to the total inconvenience
of buying any of this from a store that has to ask for your identity and
make me worry if I can ship them. Yes, or else how do you think they can
earn money selling rated content? *giggles* Toranoana is looser in this
regard though, so maybe we try there next time. Don't know if that will pass
customs or not. *laughs* HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYBODY AND PROMISE ME YOU
DON'T JERK OFF TO THIS POST I DO NOT CARE WHO YOU ARE-
P.S. Shout out to *takes deep breath*
Purako,
Kanda-dan,
Kinako,
Morikura En,
Kantoku,
YuGirl
and MANY MANY MORE I have shortlisted for this review but did not make the
list, where you can check them out online and buy their artworks (I think
they are on Melonbooks) if you want. Most of their latest works are from
C102 as far as I'm concerned if not will be recent ones, so you can deal
with the consequences of crazy shipping fees maybe if your country doesn't
tax you or have a strong currency, in which case you're welcome.
*laughs*
P.P.S. Honestly though, if I were Japanese and I get to go there after I got
tickets, it'll stink like most conventions so I'll go with a mask anyways,
I'll only go to the people I know haha, but then again I would've bought the
catalogue (the full one which was not from Melonbooks and thick enough to
kill a human with) and checked out some of them so... the amount of money
spent might be equivalent compared to here but I would get way more haha
LIFE SUCKS DUDE
