This is the Collection III in Aishiro series. It contains Aishiro Third Second Part, Aishiro Fouth First + Second + Third Part. I enjoyed it. I still love the art. The style of drawings are better in quality and similarity to the original characters of Bleach when compared to other doujinshi in my personal opinion. Now when it comes to reading the book, it is great as the words appear to be computer typed. Some sound effects and small comments made by characters in between the conversation still appear to be hand written but overall all the entire volume is easier to read for those who can’t read in Japanese fluently.
Quality of the images are excellent both jpeg and adobe acrobat document PDF format wise. And because of this, although some words and kanji are hard to make out because of their small sizes at hundred percent magnification, if I magnify them up to two hundred percent, I can see the details of the kanji characters enough to look it up dictionary. (If you are Japanese or are used to reading those characters, you won’t have a problem making them out. I just need really clear detailed resolution for kanji characters so I can look them up.) At two hundred percent magnification, graphic is still intact and wonderful! As for the plot line, it’s a continuation from the Aishiro collection II. It has pairing of Aizen and Hitsugaya. There are some Gin and Toushiro hint in this volume too. . It may disturb some people because in a way, it could be considered shota. It may also disturb some people because this collection III has non-consensual sexual scene. But I liked it.
Collection I in Aishiro series contains multiple Aishiro chapters: REVERSE, FrontSide, Second First Part, Second Second Part. First of all, I loved it! It seems that because it's the first one of the Aishiro series, the style of drawing the characters are getting established compared to the later version of the series, but it's of a minimal difference and nothing major. The drawings are way better in quality and similarity to the original characters of Bleach when compared to other doujinshi in my personal opinion.
Now when it comes to reading the book, first half of the volume may be a bit hard to read for those who need to look up kanji up from dictionary like me, because words appear to be hand written and it makes it difficult to make out some characters. Good news is second half is computer typed so it's easier to read. Quality of the scans are excellent both jpeg and adobe acrobat document PDF format wise. And because of this, although some words and kanji are hard to make out at 100% magnification, (If you are Japanese or are used to reading those characters, you won't have a problem making them out.) I can magnify them up to two hundred percent to see the details of the kanji characters. At 200% magnification, graphic is still intact and wonderful! As for the plot line, I like it a lot. It has pairing of Aizen Sousuke and Hitsugaya Toshiro. It may disturb some people because in a way, it could be considered shota. It may also disturb some people because this collection I is all non-consensual sexual situation. But I liked it.
Collection II in Aishiro series contains multiple Aishiro chapters: Second Third Part, Third First Part, SECRET 1.7 + 2.1 + 2.5. Like Aishiro Collection I, I loved it!
The style of the character drawings is a lot better than before. (It finally appears to be established compared to the earlier version of the series, but they are still good.) The drawings are better in quality and similarity to the original characters of Bleach when compared to other doujinshi in my personal opinion. Now when it comes to reading the book, it's excellent!
Toward the end of Aishiro Collection I, the words have changed from hand written style to computer typed version and this continues to this Second collection. It's a lot easier to make out the words especially kanji characters. Some sound effects and small comments made by characters in between the conversation still appear to be hand written but overall all the entire volume is easier to read for those who can't read in Japanese fluently. Quality of the scans are excellent both jpeg and adobe acrobat document PDF format wise. And because of this, although some words and kanji are hard to make out at hundred percent magnification, (If you are Japanese or are used to reading those characters, you won't have a problem making them out. I just need really clear detailed resolution for kanji characters so I can look them up in the dictionary.) I can magnify them up to two hundred percent to see the details of the kanji characters.
At two hundred percent magnification, graphic is still intact and wonderful! As for the plot line, it's a continuation from the Aishiro collection I. It has pairing of Aizen and Hitsugaya. There are some Gin and Toushiro hint in this volume too. It may disturb some people because there is a very brief scene of body mutilation in one of the SECRET series. It may also disturb some people because this collection II is all non-consensual sexual situation. But I loved it.
One of the top artists. The images in this computer graphic package have better body ratios compared to other works (older works from this artist). The use of color and shading is amazing, even the shadows overlay was impressive. This cg could have had more images, roughly around ten images at little over 100 yen is a little expensive. However it was very much worth it. Hope to see this artist continue to make computer graphic packages. This package, like many of the artists, does not contain DRM.
Manam's Highschool Romance Doujin, Sakura Saki, continues with its 3rd volume. Here Aoi chan comes to terms with the fact that she likes Yuuki.
Like with the previous volumes the art is pretty good. Although I found it to be a little lacking before, the style has started to grow on me. The characters all look quite good. The story and dialogue is quite good, with a good mix of comedy and drama.
In all, Sakura Saki is a great choice of series to read, and volume 3 is a must buy if you already have 1 and 2.
Dadachamame's Futakira is a series of Doujin about Yay*i and I*ri from the IdolM*ster series. In the volume Iori and Yayoi must do everything together for a period of time (as their fingers are tied to together) in order to help them pass an audition against Kuroipro.
The art in this Doujin is excellent, truly excellent. Yay*i and I*ri both look great; exceptionally cute. The Producer is drawn in a rather comical manner and this is acceptable given that the Producer doesn't actually have a given appearance in the games. Other characters do appear, but only briefly (Takane, Hibiki, Ami and Mami). The story itself is very cute and entertaining. The scenes of I*ri and Yay*i together are just too cute.
Overall I'd definitely recommend this any IdolM*ster fans whom like Yay*i and I*ri. Unfortunately the earlier volumes don't appear to be available on the site, albeit this story is pretty self contained and I doubt the volumes have much of an ongoing story so it should be fine to just skip to Volume 3.
As with many "games" of this type, the only real interaction has to deal with some key points during the story where the reader (you) must make a single choice which impacts the story from there on. Depending on the choices made will end the story quickly or continue it on with this magical girl's erotic journey. Heavy text-based story and its all in japanese.
If you can read japanese then this may be the pick-up for you. But for non-speakers think of it as buying mainly a CG set, because thats basically what you will get with this one.
Another great computer graphic package from another great artist. First off, the body ratios were more in line in this package then in previous ones (it's great to see artwork improve in visual quality). This artwork focuses on what I think are natives as a core subject. An interesting topic that is usually overlooked by many in this field. It is good to think outside of the box. This computer graphic collection does not contain DRM, and is a little pricey, but overall it is well worth the money.
MM has done it again. This is a colored comic that contains computer generated images with text. (a cg with text). The story line and text is translated to English, unlike most mangas that are left in their native language. This is not a huge problem, as the visual details can still be liked. I will not ruin the story, but this is a definite purchase. Although the pairing was not completely to my liking, the storyline was still very good.
This is not your typical type of artwork. Although the artwork is unique and have a different approach on many things, it was still overall good. To be honest, this has a very, very different approach to the concept of this art. However, these factor/characteristic of the artwork makes the artwork very unique, including the artist. This computer graphic folder could have contained more, but overall was interesting in terms of what element it contained.
