Miwa Shirow to do a Gunslinger Girl contribution. This I have to see!
OMFG TAIGA BY NOIZI ITO!?!!?!??! O_O
*orgasms to the max*
I wanna see moar Shana as well!!!
Oh LOL. How did I miss that?
There is no word for the competing forms of tsun and dere that will occur in this matchup.
this shall be interesting to the max....gona try to get me a copy back home...
Oh yess! Noizi Ito! Loved his illustrations~
Can't wait to see KEI's artwork too~
Just need to get my hands on this...!
I thought Noizi Ito was a she? There was a photograph of her, with Nagaru (Haruhi's author) and Hirano aya posing together before the Haruhi Live Concert
Noizi is in fact female.
FUCK YEAH!!
NICE!
I am SOOOOOOO looking forward to this issue. :D
Satou Shouji (Highschool of the Dead) x Azumanga Daioh
This won't end well.
Sakaki boobs
Kagura boobs
Yomi boobs
As long as he avoids Chiyo, Osaka, Tomo, and the teachers, it should be alright then. Although, he did somehow manage to draw the loli in his manga without tits, maybe those three will have back breakingly large boobs, and the rest if shown will be loli.
Wow, nice! The art looks excellent... damn, makes me wanna get one now ><"
I'd soooooo order one.
onsokumaru = win
OMG Noizi Ito Taiga.
Oh, crap, you're absolutely correct. D:
Why didn't I notice that?
Quite a line-up. The results will be very interesting, no doubt!
I've always been fond of Senko no Ronde's artwork but I never knew the name behind it. Sogabe Shuuji...they did the Persona 3 and 4 manga too, right? I need to look into that.
So many great heroines. Can't wait for a super high res version to be uploaded.
The main picture of the article tricked me into believeing it had something to do with Shana 3rd
Now i feel stupid
We need Noizi Minorin. Forget Taiga. The Okama listing amused me. I still don't like Kobayashi for what he did to School Rumble. I'd comment on more artists but there's too many. I admit to knowing only the series though, not their particular artist/mangaka.
So Taiga finally met her non blood-related identical (voice-wise) sister's mother; Itou Noizi.. How touching.
*Must... PO..*
Wow, I must have the scans of it as soon as they're available!!
So many good stuffs here >.>
Uhh, this really sucks. Don't buy it guys!
(So it's not sold out before I can get my hands on it. :D)
PLEASE!!! I hope someone scans or posts copies of these after it comes out.
The torrent will not be missed by a tokyotosho lurker, namely me. ^^
nuuuuuuuuuuuu
Amazon's shipping costs are so high & I can't order from HobbySearch.
>:|
Whoa!Ninjas!
humble hooray for railgun xD
Kohaku Kuroboshi! *orz*
But I feel we're totally spoiled after seeing c02a's work sample.
Haha, wow... The artist from School Rumble doing an Azumanga Daioh illustration! This shall be epic...
It'd be hilarious if Mr. Kimura ended up looking like Kenji.
Satou Shouji x Azumanga Daioh
...
Wait, what?
Kouga Yun and Miwa Shirow for Gunslinger Girl?! Ahh, this is an amazing list, I can't wait to see the final product.
