Hyakko volume 4

Blogged by on Friday March 27th, 2009 at 5:54 pm in English, Hyakko, Manga (spoilers) | 0 Comments »

I’ve read this book about a couple of months ago and just noticed that I didn’t post random scans from volume 4 though having added a sub-category for this awesome manga.

Like always, but in this volume in particular, it was an extremely awesome mix of lulz + iyashi-kei. This volume was about the crew’s summer vacation, and following Torako and her friends’ peaceful days really chills you out.

I found great how the author drew this volume as it makes you feel like you’re actually watching an anime (some scenes are separated by ‘eyecatch’ pics or random 2-3 panels sub-scenes including minor characters). It was really a well-made book and it definitely makes Hyakko to be one of my fav manga ever.

Ok now is the time for random scans again~

hyakko0401
Torako : “I’ve been wondering since a while but… WHAT ARE YOU HIDING IN THAT BODY ?!”
Nene, get out of that body ! XD
Suzu XD

hyakko0402
Haha I so like when Torako is being so malicious <3

hyakko0403
Tatsuki doesn’t like high places~
Bottom of the right page, middle panel = <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

hyakko0404
<3

hyakko0404b
The crew has to take supplementary lessons.
T : “Eh ? You too ?”
N : “Yup~ !”
T : “Isn’t the Class Rep supposed to be a model for the other students !?”
N : “Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I’m bad at studying, I JUST DON’T STUDY !!”
Nene FTW~

hyakko0405
Kids, don’t do this XD

hyakko0405b
I know that these two pages are for introducing Nene’s brother, but I was only thinking “man when Nene is being ‘normal’ she’s just too HAWT” when reading this.

hyakko0405c
For some reason Inori seems to be hated by her sister. Well, that just makes her look even cuter.

hyakko0406
Touma-mama XD

hyakko0407
Left page, last panel : KTKR <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

hyakko0407b
Kitsune : “Yo, Ayumi-chan ! Want to do s*x with us ?”
XD

hyakko0407c
Ayumi and Kitsune have an amusing relationship, but man I hope they won’t end up together. XD
Kitsune is such a jerk, Ayumi doesn’t deserve that. ^^;

hyakko0408
‘Natsu-yasumi’ rhymes with ‘matsuri’, so obligatory yukata scene~
Nobody recognized Touma at first XD
Cute <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

hyakko0408b
Hitsugi and her mysterious friend who hasn’t been introduced yet.

hyakko0409
rofl~

hyakko0409b
Same comment as earlier…
Cute but DO NOT WANT XD

hyakko0409c
For some reason, Torako has Amakasa-sensei’s phone number… Man I smell something fishy here ! XD

hyakko0410
Hyakko, Love & Piece.

hyakko0411
Omake manga : man, there’s really something fishy between the two of them. XD
And man, these pages look like the beginning of an ero-doujin. XD

I still have a nice amount of random scans on my USB key, so (maybe) moar posts with random scans to come later…

Nyan Koi ! volume 2

Blogged by on Tuesday March 24th, 2009 at 7:32 pm in English, Manga (spoilers), Nyan Koi ! | 0 Comments »

I’ve been wondering why I couldn’t find anything about “Nyankoi !” on the english internet… It’s because it’s been romanized as “Nyan Koi !” orz (dunno, for some reason I was thinking ‘nyanko’ when I saw the title and thought it was some kind of pun)

Anyway, I’m glad I came across this manga back then (see post about the first volume), because I’ve read the second volume last week and it was really nice~

Time for some random scans~ (been a while)

nyankoi0201
Some big jerk who has been introduced at the end of the first volume, Ichinose-sempai, challenges Junpei.

nyankoi0202
But Junpei totally forgot about it and the guy caught a cold for having stayed 3 days on the school’s roof waiting for Junpei XD

nyankoi0203
“Junpei Kousaka ! Let’s fight for knowing who will get Kaede Mizuno !”
(classic~)

nyankoi0204
… but the guy collapses from his cold, and the crew has to carry him home.

nyankoi0205
And he’s not only a jerk, but he’s also some rich bastard.
(classic~)

nyankoi0206
Ichinose-sempai happens to have a cat, Josephine (XD). It asks Junpei to help Ichinose-sempai to find love, because it’s after being rejected by his first love that he became such a jerk.

nyankoi0207
But helping Ichinose-sempai means giving up on Kaede !
And not giving up on Kaede means becoming a cat !
Pinch !

nyankoi0208
Once the girls are out of the picture, Ichinose-sempai can finally have his challenge. And yeah, he’s a kendoka (classic~).

nyankoi0209
When thunder suddenly strikes nearby…

nyankoi0210
!?

nyankoi0211
REVERSE TRAP KITAAAAA !!!

nyankoi0212
She wears a ‘Sader’ mask and ‘Nagato’ headphones for not being scared by thunder~ XD
“YOU’RE NOT A GUY !?”

nyankoi0213
“WHO ARE YOU CALLING A GUY !!!”
“… even my first love rejected me because he mistook me for a guy”
XD

nyankoi0214
And what had to happen happens~

nyankoi0215
Man, I find her unattractiveness so… attractive XD

nyankoi0216a
Even if Junpei is actually not aware of it, it’s ‘mission complete’ XD

nyankoi0217
Since Ichinose-sempai is in love with both Junpei and Kaede, she decides to ‘back-up’ Junpei and Kaede’s relationship XD
But Kanako won’t let that to happen~
<3

nyankoi0218
After that, it gets a chapter which introduced the obligatory scatterbrained onee-san character : Chizuru, a postwoman with no sense of direction XD
A lovely chapter, kinda iyashi-kei <3

nyankoi0219
Random Kaede pic, who’s still the love & piece <3

nyankoi0220
At the end, obligatory mysterious loliish character appears !

Man, I love the fact that this love-triangle manga suddenly became a harem manga <3

This manga is really a nice surprise, because, just like I said in the post about the first volume, I just picked it randomly in the second-handed books and I wasn’t really expecting too much from it. But it ends up being great <3

The 3rd volume got released about 2 weeks ago, and I’m waiting for it to be delivered. Also, it became popular enough in japan for them to make an anime version~

I wonder why it’s being snobbed by the scanlation limbo, though… well, not that I particularly care anyway…

Send In Kagami-sama

Blogged by on Tuesday March 3rd, 2009 at 6:26 pm in English, Junk (絵日記) | 3 Comments »

Last friday, I had japanese class. Got there about one hour before the class starts, and while waiting I got again some urge to sketch some Kagamin.

A grinning Kagamin.

Yeah, for once a specific face and pose suddenly came in my mind and I tried my best to put it on paper.

Didn’t have the time to finish it before the class started, so I took pictures of how it looked once back home :

dscn0772b dscn0773b
I went for some difficult pose to draw (for me) this time, and some parts gave me hard time so I decided to leave them for later. I do wub that grinning face of her tho.

And then, decided to finish this junk last night. Well at this point it was meaningless to take pictures but anyway… pictures :

dscn0777 dscn0778
The size of the eyes and the way I drew them actually make her looking completely different than in the previous junk… orz

Scanned version :

kagami2

Special thanks to George Shearing for the background music (the title is just a reference to Send In The Clowns).
