BE BOY GOLD 2007/2

I read BE BOY GOLD 2007/2 recently.
It contains following titles.

Youka Nitta 'Haru wo Daiteita (Emracing Love) 47 -Soul Position'
Youka Nitta 'Boku no Koe (My voice)'
Kaoru Uchida 'Soredewa Minasan'
You Higashino 'Harenchi no Susume'
Nase Yamato 'Kuchibiru no Yukue'
Yamimaru Enjin 'Kimi ga inakerya ikimo dekinai'
CJ Michalski 'Koi suru maid'
Mebary Kobato 'Kono kimochi wo nanto yobou'
Kai Tsurugi 'Kuro no Kishi (Black Knight)'
Syuko Nishimura 'Tour Shangri-la'
Kou Fujisaki 'Hatsukoi no hito'

Haruo wo Daiteita will mark its 10th anniversary shortly. I'm happy that I can read both Harudaki (Japanese fans call 'Haru wo Daiteita' 'Harudaki' for short) and Boku no koe!

It's pity that Finder series 'Naked Truth' isn't run in this issue. Next Be Boy Gold will contain it. Asami finally gets going! And Ayano Yamane draws next cover. Next Be Boy Gold is scheduled to go on sale on February 28th.

DEATH NOTE

It's reported that 'DEATH NOTE (Anime ver)' will be distributed on the internet in North America from this spring.

DEATH NOTE official site; http://www.j-deathnote.com/

I like 'DEATH NOTE' very much! I have all of volume. The drawing is high-style and the story is great! I went to see the movies. Sure, I watch the Anime every week!

Uki Ogasawara

Uki Ogasawara's new book 'Nightmare Fortress' is very good. It was published on 2006/8. But it's unavailability now. I guess the publisher didn't expect that it sold very well. The yaoi is harder than any her mangas! And the story is complex fantasy. I'm looking forward to the sequel.

Uki Ogasawara backlist

Netsujyou no Virtuoso (The English version 'Virtuoso Di Amore' has published last month)
Urakatana Kami no Ki
Urakatana Kami no Ki #2
Art Book 400 years resort

Her color pages are fantastic! There is a consistent mood and tone to her paintings.

Okane ga nai!

Okane ga nai! (No Money) is one of popular yaoi mangas. The mangaka is Tohru Kousaka. This manga is based on the novels by Hitoyo Shinozaki. Tohru Kousaka and Hitoyo Shinozaki also make Doujinshis of Okane ga nai! series, other original, Anime, Game and stuff together.

I have 'Okane ga nai!' #1-#5 (manga), the novels, Doujinshi, Art book and CD (voice CD).

Upcoming Products

Yuzuha Ougi

Yuzuha Ougi is one of my favorite mangaka. Her drawing is very sexy and the stories are very nice! I have the following her mangas.

Brother #2
Brother
Star na Koi
Star ni Ai (The sequel to the Star ni Koi)
Abiru Jyunjyou

'Arashi ga Oka' was published on 2003/6. I don't have it, though. Brother and Arashi ga Oka were translated into English. English title of Arashi ga Oka is 'Rising Storm'.

Kazuma Kodaka News

I got her new title 'Renai Houteishiki' recently. It's very good!

It's the sequel to the Kusatta Kyoushi no Houteishiki.
Meguru, whose father Kouji Inagaki, is the second grade of junior high school. Kanade is his friend from childhood and 1 year younger than Meguru is. His uncle is Tohru Hagiwara who is Masami Shibata's lover.

Kanade tells Meguru how much he loves him. Meguru feels confused and consults his teacher Atsushi. Kanade consults Masayoshi Shibata. They know the relationship between Atsushi and Masayoshi.

I hear Kazuma Kodaka sensei begins to serialize the sequel to this manga on Be Boy Gold 2007/4 (It's scheduled to be available at the end of next month). I'm looking forward to read it.

I also read the side story in b-boy phoenix 3.

And other new title was published in November. I also post the cover.

By the way, Kazuma Kodaka sensei had a book signing in Tokyo today. And her ciecle attended at Osaka City (Doujinshi Event) today. She must fail to attend, though.

The manga that I have recently read

'Majin no Sono' by Megumu Minami
This book contains 4 fantasy yaoi stories.
Her drawing is sooo beautiful as usual!!

I've been a big fan of her for about 15 years. ^^;
I found her book as Captain Tsubasa Doujinshi at first. After that, she made her pro debut. I got lots of her manga books and Doujinshi.

I love her drawing and stories.
Her drawing is beautiful with regard to time lately.

I'll introduce other manga that I've recently read next time!

Favorite Anime.

Recently I watch lots of Anime on TV.
For example, NANA, Pumpkin scissors, DEATH NOTE, D grayman, Busou renkin, Kiniro no Corda, CODE GEASS -Hangyaku no Lelouch(Lellouche? sorry I'm not sure), Shounen Onmyouji and Saiunkoku Monogatari.

They are interesting Anime. I hear NANA will air in other countries.
I love DEATH NOTE, D grayman and stuff.
But I think 'CODE GEASS' is the best!

The official site is as follows.

http://www.geass.jp/index.html

The story and characters are very good!!
The animation company is 'Sunrise (The representative work is Gundam series)'
CLAMP drafted characters design. Sunrise offered them.

You can watch 2 episodes and 4 promotional version at the following site for free.

http://broadband.biglobe.ne.jp/program/index_geass.html#

I guess some circles will make Doujinshis of CODE GEASS. Maybe Yaoi....
