Ishikei’s C76 To Love-Ru Doujinshi “MikanAL” Translated

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

NiseMIDI Doro no Kai’s (the circle name of the well known artist Ishikei) main Comiket 76 offering, MikanAL, is likely among the more sought out and lusted after books to come from the event, featuring To Love-Ru’s youthful imouto Yuuki Mikan in Ishikei’s distinctive style.

Sankaku Complex’s own Quen has turned his expert hand to a translation of the short book as a send-off for the recently cancelled To Love-Ru series – hopefully bereaved fans can find at least a little solace amongst the pages of yet another Ishikei doujinshi.

The entire doujinshi can be read here on the Channel, in what is almost certainly the best quality scan available of the book online so far.

Some may find the Channel’s translation interface confusing – remember to click on the image to turn the transparent mouseover boxes on or off.

Unfortunately a full scanlation was not doable, so anyone with the requisite image editing skills may feel free to typeset the pages properly, or use the translation as basis for their own scanlation.

Last of all, thanks must be extended to artist Ishikei (official website) for producing this fine work of art.

To Love-Ru in Trouble: Cancellation Imminent?

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

Top alien-girl-falls-in-love-with-boy, alien-girl-gets-raeped-by-tentacles shonen series To Love-Ru will soon be ending its serialization in Shonen Jump, according to credible rumours on 2ch.

The spectre of cancellation had long hung over the series, and recently the story had been pointing towards signs of coming to a conclusion, making the news seem all too likely to be legitimate.

The initial source of the cancellation talk came from a post on a 2ch thread, “Jump Ending Survival Race”, by a poster nicknamed Bare-shi (Master Reveal),  known for supplying 2ch with accurate, apparently insider knowledge on the cancellations of Jump series.

On Aug. 24th, he announced the current status of To Love-Ru as:

とらoutらしい (Seems like it’s ‘To Out’)

Fans naturally would enjoy some more concrete information on the matter, but given the problems the series has had with the Jump Reader’s Popularity polls, the oft-repeated talk of the show’s impending cancellation and that the story seems to be heading toward a conclusion, it is not too much of a stretch to assume that the modern-day Urusei Yatsura will indeed be ending soon.

Below are the reader satisfaction figures – needless to say, To Love-Ru is at the very bottom and Naruto is at the top:

Some images from the latest Chapter 161 show the usual gratuitous bikini action which has sustained the series thus far:

UN Demands Hentai Ban

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

The UN has told Japan it must ban adult games and erotic manga featuring themes of rape, calling Japan’s protection of fictional women from fictional rape “inadequate.”

The demands come by way of the UN’s radical feminist arm, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, or CEDAW. Extreme feminist pressure group Equality Now previously vowed to make them seek such a ban, and it seems CEDAW happily complied.

Calling Japan’s treatment of women “inadequate” and “regrettable,” CEDAW formally demanded Japan end “human rights violations” against women by banning games and manga featuring themes of “rape and sexual violence.” It is not clear whether they extend their demands to anime, AV or literature, though this seems likely.

The suggestion that fictional works such as manga serve to promote sexual violence is entirely unproven; it is notable that Japan has some of the lowest rates of crime and sexual violence in the world, and yet some of the most abundant pornography, much of which deals with such themes.

This is of course undoubtedly tied to the intervention of busybody international feminist groups in Japanese politics after the Rapelay scandal…

Yuria 100 Shiki Anime Adaptation Confirmed?

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

Nobuto Hagio

Android Dutch wife near ero-manga Yuria 100 Shiki, by talented ero-mangaka Nobuto Hagio, has had a mysterious adaptation confirmed, but the announcement is deliberately vague as to whether the title will be an anime or a live action production…

The announcement is plastered all over the front of volume 10 of the manga, just released:

The choice of the very ambiguous “eizou-ka” (something along the lines of “film adaptation”) rather than the usual “anime-ka” or “jissha-ka” (for live action) is rather curious.

However, supporting the notion that it is to be an anime is the previous release of a drama CD, which had a full cast of top seiyuu who would likely reprise their roles in any anime. Additionally, the manga is nearly in ero-manga territory, not usually fertile ground for live action adaptations.

In any case it is curious that they would not reveal at least what it is to be…

Those unfamiliar with Nobuto Hagio or Yuria may wish to have a look at the introductory article on him.

Kodomo no Jikan Loli Onanism Manga

The latest volume of precocious Lolita manga Kodomo no Jikan continues its explorations of adolescent innocence, with volume 7 providing some particularly eye-grabbing scenes…

This is, of course, all in the best possible literary and artistic taste, and not in any way intended as mere prurience.

Naruko Hanararu Ero-PSP

Superb ero-mangaka Naruko Hanaharu’s work here graces a PSP, one which has perhaps been rendered much less portable as a result…

The original source illustration can be seen here.

Those looking to make their own ita-PSP need look no further than the previous article detailing how.
