We're going to do the second book, too, though we can't promise a release date. But we will be doing it.

Well, I couldn't find a crying/emotional Soramaru, so...Mimorin crying was all I had. :P Whoops~! :P

Nice work, Shima~! It is definitely yuri approved, LOL.

Thank you very much AkikoXi, Sabrinamuc, Makko and ari-chan~!

Thank you so much, guys. This was a total surprise and I really, really appreciate it. :) * hugs *

Thank you for the greetings, too. You're gonna make me cry like Pile/Kussun. :3 LOL

Saw this on tumblr; I think everyone can relate, LOL! :3

I'm playing on Asia-Philippines time. Just near Hong Kong. EN is doing fine on my end. It's just the JP that's torturing me. Continuously tapping on that "OK" button which takes years couple of minutes to finish. Was able to get hold on playing a live show, but it took me almost an hour (yes! One hour!) just to play TWO SONGS! This includes the connection time for doing practice with some members (got low on available slots).

It might be a regional server thing or an ISP thing. (Is your Philippine ISP PLDT?) Because I never got any 'transmission error' pop ups when I was back home in Canada; it's only when I came back to Asia for a vacation that I got these annoying messages.

Yeah, it took me about an hour and a half to finish two LP bars on JP SIF this morning since I just started a month ago and am a low 50+ level. I'm actually playing JP SIF right now and torturing myself some more, since I really want the Kotori card, LOL. At least the Bibi song is nice. :3

I can't even enter the game. (´･_･`) I can play just fine early this morning till afternoon. Then, when I got back tonight, I'm stuck with the home screen where BiBi's singing.

Same here, AkikoXi. It started for me this morning at 11.00am Asia-Hong Kong time and is still going on until now. The EN one is also doing that to me, though not as badly. Maybe it's the region specific servers?

What I found is that if you just let it load and keep on pressing 'OK' when the 'connection issues' screen pops up, eventually, it will let you in. Same thing with any songs you play. Just keep on pressing OK and you'll get through it. That's what I did and while slow and painful, I consumed two LP bars, LOL.

THIS ISN'T GAY GIRL POSITION, SHIMA MAMA

...it's not about the sex. It's about their love. This doujin isn't really about titillation, it's about the intimacy that they share (and that happens to involve sex). And it's fucking amazing in that regard.

Shimazoo ship tag so official yo~! :3c (Please don't kill us, Shima mama. The tribe has spoken...!)

1. We will not be providing books for any of her precure doujins. We will on originals though. The reason for this is because Japanese copyright and American copyright are two different things. Japanese copyright chooses to ignore doujins, US copyright may not. I've talked to the 2 biggest English hentai book companies and both have told me that they cannot print parody doujins. I'm aware doujinpress does, but what they do isn't really legal, they put up a legal page that essentially says "don't sue us, we're not printing very many, it's not worth your time." this doesn't work for bigger companies. As they aren't going to limit their sales to appease such a thing.

A question related to this. Precure doujins won't get translated? or even digitally published? I'm just confused because most of her work that I like are Precure related and if nobody is going to translate them anymore, I don't think I have the wallet to regularly buy those doujins directly from Japan D: Kinda wish that Isya would make her work available digitally

Like Yuri-ism says, Japanese copyright holders usually choose to ignore Doujin because they probably know that these works will encourage consumers to get into the show or its derivatives, which leads them to buy official goods/merchandise/books/etc. (animation primarily makes money off of BluRay/DVD sales, merchandise, toys, etc. and not the show itself, which is why character designers will often make bad guys look cooler than the good guys - to promote merch sales) And I think that's also why Doujin usually have small print runs - to avoid attracting too much 'official' attention and possible litigation.

A lot of Doujin are available digitally, but it's tough to buy them off the Japanese sites. Some require a JP address or credit card, and almost all are DRM'ed or locked. It depends on the author if they want to offer it online, though.

I'm not sure if doujin licensing works like it does for garage kit makers, but I'm going to assume it's somewhat similar? For garage kit makers, I know that licenses are handed out to the kit makers on a 'one day' or 'per event' agreement, which is why most garage kit sales happen during events like WonFes. They are legally allowed to sell the kits for that day only. And it's the event organizers who talk to the companies about which series can be sold and which can't. Comiket and other events probably handles that for the Doujin side?

Per Dunning-Kruger, the more you think you're not an idiot, the more likely you are to be an idiot.

I did some reading on his theory and it's pretty spot on.
"Stupid people lack the capacity to realize just how stupid they are."

Can I start a vote to put kouhai in the corner?

Yo, come on now. Don't hate the playa, hate the game. :3c

redoing all the SFX in English

I like this woman's standards.

I second this. I find it impressive that she (willingly) wants to put in extra effort for the SFX.

Good luck to both Yuri-ism and Isya. Very exciting and promising stuff; I hope good things come from this partnership. :3

If you don't like futa then don't read it. Don't be a whiny baby about it. There is a giant red warning about it on the first page, so the least you can do is steer away. I really don't know what you hoped to accomplish by whining about it here.

I second this. I really don't understand why people whine about this and that when there are clear tags that tell you what you're about to read. Most even have warning pages. Reader beware.

I mean, if you purposely ignore the warnings and then whine about your eyes getting burned or you getting traumatized...you brought this on yourself...

... I really don't know how to deal with half of this thread ...

me irl rn:

Sorry, Shima. I couldn't resist...! :3c
