Manga-A-Day 13 – Comic Party v5 Friday, June 5th, 2009

Another series down, and certainly pleased with how it all turned out. After being scouted by a weekly manga magazine for a professional gig, our lead (who has only been at it for a year and has barely broken past the smallest tier of doujinshi publishing) is quickly swept ...

Manga-A-Day 12 – Comic Party v4 Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

Again with the two major plot threads, tying back into earlier, briefly introduced characters (also cute girls, this did originate as a visual novel game after all).

Manga-A-Day 9 – Comic Party v1 Monday, June 1st, 2009

For some reason, I thought this was going to be a rather tame series, focused on the crafting of doujinshi with somewhat realistic characterizations. Doujin-making aside, I couldn't have been more wrong. Opening with a nailbat wakeup call, lots of metal references, and a quick jump into the world ...
