Nekomataya (Nekomata Naomi)

Some dojinshi are conspicuous in how great they are – most of the works of ねこまた屋/Nekomataya fall into this category (also published as ねこまたなおみ/Nekomata Naomi). Nekomataya’s works are probably also essential reading for anyone looking for Genshiken or Naruto dojinshi, but original works have also lately been forthcoming. Whatever the genre, they are some of the most artistically accomplished and erotically potent works around.

Nekomataya’s works are spread over a variety of dojinshi, CGs and, lately, magazines – though a compilation is not yet forthcoming (we can but hope). The dojinshi are easily downloaded, whether by DLsite or otherwise, or are still in print, but I presume some time is required for the regular works to gain enough volume to be compiled – for now getting the magazines (or downloading them) is the only option.

Nekomataya is notable for producing some of the best Naruto (bonus points for having Tayuya and Temari) and Genshiken (bonus points for Ogiue) dojinshi going. The Naruto titles are numerous and I can’t think of any better, and I can only think of one author of Genshiken dojinshi I would rate higher (関西オレンジ/Kansai Orange).

The original works are mostly cropping up in 快楽天/Kairakuten and メガストア/Megastore Magazines. It certainly is a hassle following them spread all over like this; hopefully a compilation is not far off.

If you like what’s been presented here, then I strongly suggest you check out the rest – Nekomataya’s works are highly recommended.
