Dōjinshi - November Haul




Another fairly small haul - a lot of my favorite circles, including Heikinritsu, haven't released anything new in a while so I have been exploring my wishlist a bit.

The big, light blue one is an anthology by long defunct circle SELFISH GENE, which I have reviewed in the past. It's actually a photography collection, some stuff has appeared in other dōjinshi but in a very edited form. Very nicely designed, it includes a DVD (which doesn't seem to work, more on this later).

Then I also knocked off my list Heterodox Muse, an Ikaruga dōjinshi by 'Can't HUE' I have been eyeing for a while mostly due to its stunning cover. I was not disappointed, it's actually not an artbook but a fairly long manga drawn in a very idiosyncratic style, very Tsutomu Nihei-ish. I really hope my Japanese is up to snuff (which reminds me, I have my N4 in less than a week..."

Finally, Massive Artifact is a short '2d chara in photo background' dōjinshi by the relatively unknown COSMIC FORGE, whose usual offerings range from Touhou fanbooks to those 'food guide' thingies I love so much. Design wise it doesn't disappoint, but it's definitely the one I'm still on the fence about, so I'm reserving final judgment until review time.

Antologia 666 - Giveaway

Ed eccola qui, l'antologia 666 pubblicata da Leima Edizioni, contenente i vincitori del concorso omonimo 2015 tra cui anche il vostro carissimo Cristiano. "Cosa ne sarà di me?" è un racconto corto corto, ma credo vi piacerà, come anche tutti gli ottimi scrittori che l'antologia contiene.




Ne volete una copia? ne ho una da dare via (pago pure le spese di spedizione), tutto quello che dovete fare è seguirmi su Twitter e condividere il post (ricordandovi di includere magari sia me che @edizionileima). Tra esattamente un mese sceglierò uno a caso che riceverà l'antologia via posta.

ひつじ雲の帰り道 by Itodome

 Another purchase entirely made on the cover alone. I was entirely unfamiliar with Itodome (いとどめ), though there is some pretty good stuff to...
