Sunshine Creation 64: Mugen@WORKS / Akiduki Akina

Spellbinding sister suggests ships slip?

It's been a good run, and there's no reason to think the infatuation won't continue once the anime airs this summer, but at some point there will be a time when Kantai Collection ceases to be the center of doujinshi universe.  After six consecutive feature-length books, it seems that Mugen@WORKS is ready to move on to new material, with Mahouka's Miyuki Shiba on the cover and falling right in line with Akiduki Akina's preferred method of introduction.

COMIC1☆8: Raijinkai / Harukigenia

Old school magic school

Kudos to Raijinkai for reminding doujinshi fandom of life off of the naval base!  After a brief dip in the Kantai Collection pool, Harukigenia has tapped into good ol' televised anime for three consecutive works, with the circle's latest featuring The Irregular at Magic High School's suspect sister Miyuki Shiba on the cover. 

COMIC1☆8: Digital Lover / Yuka Nakajima / D.L. Action 85 & 86

Dakimakuratago!

Digital Lover was somewhat late to the table for the Kantai Collection doujinshi cash bonanza, but with the game's popularity proving to be far from fleeting, and an anime series in the hopper to debut later this year, it seems that Yuka Nakajima's crystal ball tells her there's no signs of the game's popularity waning any time too soon.  Having already revealed a tapestry of Kumano and Suzuya to be offered at next weekend's Sankuri 63, the circle will have yet another new goods offering at COMIC1☆8 later in the month, with the game's iconic buxom blonde battler, Atago, receiving the dakimakura treatment.  This represent's Atago's third tour of duty for the circle, having previously appeared on the cover of October 2013's D.L. Action 81, and in a clear file conflagration at Comiket 85 in December.  

Updated 8:01 pm 4/26:  Yuka Nakajima works hard and seldom disappoints, and even though the artist is surely in demand in anticipation of the upcoming anime debut of Amagi Brilliant Park, the ero parody hits just keep on comin' with a pair of full-length parody releases for fans at COMIC1.

Yamato appears for the first time on the cover of the circle's fourth Kantai Collection doujinshi, D.L. Action 85, and still has energy enough to appear on a clear file folder.

Finally, The Irregular at Magic High School's Miyuki Shiba's brother complex is on full display on the cover of D.L. Action 86.

Sunshine Creation 63: Digital Lover / Yuka Nakajima

Hanafubuki with the Mogami Sisters

While the overwhelming majority of Because Japan's favorite artists have announced plans for late April's COMIC1☆8, practically no one has announced intentions of having something new for next weekend's Sunshine Creation 63.  Finally, we have some news from that hardest working doujin-ka in the business, that vanguard of vanilla, Digital Lover's Yuka Nakajima.  While news of a new parody doujin is forthcoming, the artist revealed a B2-sized tapestry of Kantai Collection's Suzuya and Kumano, imbibing some sake amongst a cascade of sakura blossoms, though it does seem that Suzuya may have spilled some in an awkward spot...

Updated 4/11 10:11 pm:  Minor news on the doujinshi front from Digital Lover, as the circle has revealed a new iteration of their omake/sketch books, Rough Sketch 82, will be available at Sankuri 63, featuring The Irregular at Magic High School's Miyuki Shiba on the cover.
