Comic Market 86: Number2 / Takuji

MakiNicoise salad, not fishy

After pounding away at the sensibilities of doujinshidom with absurdly lewd and lengthy titles skewering OreImo, Number2's more recent Love Live! releases have been slightly more tame in name if not in content. Prevalent series pairing Maki Nishikino and Nico Yazawa star in the circle's Comic Market 86 release, following the Eli Ayase C85 release, and the wider-scoped gravure release from COMIC1 earlier this year.

New lewd views of μ's crew

It's been radio silence from Takuji of Number2 since the circle's last appearance, when they finally were able to rocket-thrust their way out of the OreImosphere at Comic Market 85 with, if we're being honest, a rather awkward-looking rendition of Love Live!'s Eri Ayase on the cover.  It looks like a much greater effort this time around from the circle, with Eri getting a little help from her friends Niko and Nozomi on the cover of the circle's latest and greatest effort for COMIC1.

Russo-Japanese relations burgeoning at C85

While an overwhelming number of doujinshi circles have heaped their attention on the Anglo-Japanese battleship Kongou, Number2 has gone the Cyrillic route at Comic Market 85, it seems.  After years of near-exclusive devotion to the harem circling OreImo's Kyousuke Kousaka, the circle's most recent doujin featuring Kirino on the cover (and the rest of the girls inside) seemed an appropriate capstone to go along with the light novel's and anime's finales, leaving fans to guess what would be the circle's next target.  While a cover image is forthcoming, Number2's website has been overwhelmed overnight by an image of Love Live! School Idol Project's part-Russian darling, Eri Ayase.  Considering the circle's penchant for cycling through heroines from the same series, Love Live! certainly makes for a logical yet exciting option.  

Update 1, 9:22 am 12/30/13:  An update from Number2 shows the cover of their Love Live ero parody and other goods offered at Comiket 85.  An omake book featuring Sagiri Izumi of Eromanga-sensei, the new light novel series from Tsukasa Fushimi (Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai), a calendar, and a tapestry featuring Kirino Kousaka from the cover art of the circle's OreImo C84 doujinshi will be found at Takuji's booth.

Full-color Kirino End from the Titan of Titles

No circle has more fun with the absurdity of the length of long light novel series titles than Number2, who has penned such remarkable works as the Haganai title I Have Too Much Cum, I Can't Stop Cumming Inside Your Pussy, and the OreImo parodies Going Bareback and Coming Inside My Sister and My Sister's Friend.  The circle's devotion to Kirino and Chums has been going on strong for quite a while; they released a soushuuhen of their previous six previous OreImo doujin AND a new OreImo parody book, I Had a Crush on Onii-chan.  He Stole My Virginity From Me In Front of My Friend, at Comic1☆7.

With the anime and light novels both coming to an end recently, one could not be blamed for hoping that the circle would keep the hits on coming, and today's reveal  Regrettably, because of my complete Japanese illiteracy, I cannot read what looks to be another hefty title from the quality circle, but with the world's favorite ota-imouto gracing the cover of their Comiket 84 offering in fine bridal fashion, it's sure to be another championship-calibre edition.

Additionally, it looks like a previously untouched character in Number2's version of the OreImosphere, Saori, gets featured in an omake booklet.
