Sunshine Creation 64: Maruarai / Arai Kazuki

Tactical and tactile

In short order, pleasing-to-the-touch doujin circle Maruarai has produced their second doujinshi starring KanColle's Amatsukaze for Sunshine Creation 64, less than a month after their previous effort at Comic City 35. 

Sunshine Creation 64: Alpha to Yukaina Nakamatachi

Go team go!

Alpha to Yukaina Nakamatachi continued their Morse code-monikered sketchbooks at Sankuri 64 with Nine Eight Zero--I'm thinking of contracting a codebreaker myself to try to come up with an understanding of how and why the circle's going with this naming convention for this year.  A towel featuring KanColle's Amatsukaze helps clean up afterwards. 

Sunshine Creation 64: Karomix / Karory / Karorful mixEX12

Kantaiful Collection

While the circle has been far from dormant, with not one but two art books scheduled for release this year, for the first time since last summer's Comic Market 84, Karomix finally has a new erotic parody doujin to offer fans.  To the surprise of absolutely no one, it's Kantai Collection-themed, with Haruna on the cover. 

Sunshine Creation 64: Shigunyan

Paradigm-setter

Once is a rumor, twice is a trend, three times is a paradigm--SHIGUNYAN HARUNA IS BEST HARUNA.  Shigunyan first captured my attention at Comic Market 85 with their rendition of Kantai Collection's demure destroyer Haruna looking completely fetching sporting nekomimi.  Looking into the circle's past output, and considering some of the work the circle's done since, it seems to me like Shigunyan has simply found its muse in Haruna, and I hope that when all the kanmusu collecting wanes, the circle can capture this moe moe lightning in a bottle once again.

Sunshine Creation 64: AYUEST / Ayuya

Понимание Pусский

Because Japan fun fact: I took more than six years' worth of Russian class between high school and college.  Now, more than a decade out, I can still read the language but have virtually zero ability to understand it.  While that's still far, far more comprehension than I have in the Japanese language, I do speak moe very well, and it just so happens that Kantai Collection's Verniy is fluent as well.  AYUEST will be bridging the communication gap for fans at Sankuri 64 later this month with this latest effort. 

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.

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.
