Sunshine Creation 64: TIES / Takei Ooki

Lovely & Lively

Back at April 2013's COMIC1☆7, Takei Ooki's TIES snuck in a completely unheralded Love Live! parody doujin featuring Nico Yazawa that did not see any kind of retail distribution--the book became somewhat of a white whale for Ooki's fans to find on the secondhand market.  Perhaps heeding his fans' call, and most definitely cashing in on the popularity of the series' second season, TIES offered a new book, LOVE NICO! one two, at Sankuri 64 today, capturing the sprightly sensation's first encounter with groupmate Maki Nishikino with a new chapter, making for a whopping 42-page B5-sized release.

Fans seeking to commemorate the coupling can buy a pillow cover, featuring a member of the pair on each side (naturally, not wanting to choose a favorite and hurting feelings, I would encourage buying two).

Sunshine Creation 64: Clesta / Cle Masahiro

Aμ'sing to no end

In the past several weeks, Clesta's Cle Masahiro has taunted his fans with sharply finished images of girls from Love Live! School Idol Project via his Twitter feed.  Having never touched the series before, it was not too difficult to imagine the girls of Otonokizaka Academy in the middle of a CL-orz erotic parody.  Finally, Masahiro confirmed the cover-image-in-process, likely to be done for Sankuri 64 later this month. 





Updated 7:24 am 6/21:  No significant changes on the finalized cover of CL-orz 37, revealed by Clesta earlier this week in preparation for Sankuri 64.

Additionally, attendees will have access to the circle's latest omake book, featuring Love Live! rival raconteur Tsubasa Kira on the cover.

COMIC1☆8: Number2 / Takuji

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.

Comic Market 85: Shoujo Kishidan / 少女騎士団 / Oyari Ashito

Singing, dancing, seafaring?--Ashito's idol complex faces fleet of frigates at C85

Prolific erotic stick figure artist Oyari Ashito has been an awfully busy man as of late, with an art exhibit and the publishing of career retrospective artbook Little World 2 giving reason to revisit and retouch some of his old favorites, and the release of world- and heroine-conquering strategy RPG Eiyuu*Senki Gold coming out in January, but it seems that Ashito has had some opportunity to squeeze in a little doujin work, AND flex his admiralty skills as well in the lead-up to Comic Market 85.

For quite some time, Ashito's oeuvre has been dominated by that novel, uniquely Japanese female identity construct, the idol, and C85 currently projects to be no different.  Ashito's two latest doujinshi have focused on the rescuing angels of Otonokizaka Academy from Love Live! School Idol Project--April's gravure-style Kawaikute shikata ga nai! and August's intercourse-heavy followup, Midsummer Night Dream.  Images of μ's Eri Ayase and Niko Yazawa have appeared on Ashito's Twitter feed recently, certainly suggesting a third book is in the works.

Not to be forgotten, it would be no surprise if Ashito's most frequent targets, the girls of iDOLM@STER's 765 Productions, were included in the festivities this December as well.  Ashito posted a sketch of four-time covergirl Iori Minase to his Twitter account not long ago.

Like what certainly seems to be a majority of his doujinka cohorts, it also seems like Ashito will seek to cash in on the popularity of Kantai Collection at C85, if these recently posted images of Inazuma are any indication.

Update 1, 11:15 am 12/9/13:  More evidence from Oyari Ashito's Twitter feed today certainly seems to assert the presence of a Kan Colle parody ero doujin from Shoujo Kishidan at C85--it looks like the diminuitive Inazuma's sharing drydock space with the heavy cruiser Atago!







Update 2, 11:04 am 12/11/13:  Via his Twitter feed, Oyari Ashito confirmed this as the work-in-progress cover of his Kantai Collection parody doujinshi at Comic Market 85.  Certainly an interesting choice, keeping the ports along either side of Inazuma's spine there...







Update 3, 3:28 pm 12/14/13:  Another update from Ashito's Twitter feed today reveals the book's title, Maiden Voyage.









Update 4, 6:41 pm 12/22/13:  Oyari Ashito has confirmed the final version of his Kantai Collection ero parody doujin, Maiden Voyage.  As has been previously indicated, it stars the kanmusu Atago and Inazuma, and of perhaps greater interest, it makes a point of naming those two and those two alone--could it be that Ashito's Christmas gift to fans is a first-ever yuri release?  I, for one, can't wait for preview pages to be released to find out!  Update 5, 10:04 am 12/27/13:  Ashito revealed preview pages on his website today and in doing so confirmed this is definitely not a yuri release.

Radially arched Copperplate Gothic...have the Golden State Warriors been notified of this?

Update 6, 10:06 am 12/27/13:  Via his Twitter feed, Ashito has finally revealed his plans for the Love Live and iM@S sketches he'd posted in the previous month or so--the circle's trying to produce an omake book to be offered at C85, rather than a full-fledged second release.  Love Live's Maki Nishikino graces the cover of the bonus book.

Comic1☆7: TIES / Takei Ooki

Yami, Niko.  Yaminiko.  Yakiniku?  OM NOM NOM

TIES artist Takei Ooki gave a preview image of To Love-Ru's Golden Darkness all the way back in early February, and it seems that he's used every minute available since that reveal in the lead-up to this weekend's Comic1☆7.  The circle revealed a whopping 44-page release, still showcasing Yami on the cover, but one wouldn't be surprised to see some other representatives of Rito's harem in the mix.  In addition, Ooki seems to share the same idol affliction that his colleagues Oyari Ashito and Yusa Saikawa came down with this Spring, with a 16-page release featuring twin-tailed taruento Niko Yazawa of Love Live! School Idol Project for our perusal. 

Comic1☆7: Abgrund / Yusa Saikawa

What perversion might be next from the Carnal Queen?

Former Otokonoko Ace Yusa Saikawa found a good deal of retail success with her latest straight offerings, a four-book original sis-con series that ended at Comitia103 in January.  We've been given the cover of Abgrund's next offering, to be released at Comic1☆7 later this month, and, while the translations are forthcoming, it would be fair to assume our covergirl hasn't just lost her dog...The book is already up for pre-order on your favorite smut peddler's site, and the preview pages look, well, moist.

Updated 6/20/13 10:27 am:

I failed to recognize that this book is not an original, but rather a parody of GJ-bu, the cover girl club member Megumi Amatsuka. 

Updated 10:44 am 4/23 Updated on Abgrund's listings for this weekend's Comic1☆7, it looks like the girls from Love Live! School Idol Project have captured Saikawa's fancy--oddly enough, the exact same girls that grace the cover of Oyari Ashito's new ero offering--with the cover given to Nozomi Toujou, and a very active Niko Yazawa found inside. 

Comic1☆7: Shoujo Kishidan / 少女騎士団 / Oyari Ashito

Otonokizaka Academy's idols on 765's radar?

Erotic stick figure artist Oyari Ashito has displayed a pair of dakimakuras to be sold at late April's Comic1☆7 on Shoujo Kishidan's website.  After focusing much time and attention on the 765 Productions stablemates of iDOLM@STER, it seems that Ashito has decided to expand his worship of the 2D idol set, as Maki Nishikino and Niko Yazawa of Love Live! School Idol Project will receive the dakimakura treatment.  No word yet on a new doujinshi from the circle, but if these are any indication, perhaps their next offering will feature a lot less yellow P on the male's face. 

Updated 9:47 am 4/23 In addition to the dakimakuras of Maki Nishikino and Niko Yazawa, Shoujo Kishidan will also have an ero doujinshi for sale at Comic1☆7, and it does indeed feature the girls of Love Live! School Idol Project.  Yazawa is joined by fellow idol Toujou Nozomi on the cover, looking rather voluptuous and somewhat adult compared to the usual treatment Ashito gives his girls.

This is most likely not the final cover illustration, given that Niko's hair ribbons are not colorized.

Update 2 10:46 am 4/24 Ashito has posted a pair of preview images on Shoujo Kishidan's website, all featuring more of the Love Live! girls in costume.
