This is it. After over four years of on again off again work on the Josou Shounen anthologies, and after 11 more volumes being released after we started working on it, these are the last three one-shots from the 17 currently released volumes. Whether there will be any more volumes is up in the air, but seeing as how volumes 16 and 17 came out as a surprise about a year and a half after volume 15, it's at least possible there may be more in the future. All three of these last one-shots are by Tsubomi Fuwano.
The first two are the two installments of Drag Rock Queen. Ijuuin, the vocalist of the popular rock back INz, secretly likes to cross-dress, and he gets the idea to use his band as an excuse to cross-dress in public. The first chapter is from v13 Plum Group and the second chapter is from v14 Watermelon Group.
The last one is Ichijin Koukou Engekibu no Kaijin from v15 Ribbon Group. The president of Ichijin High School's drama club fully embraces a mistake on a new script for an upcoming competition which lists him playing the lead girl.
Now that all the one-shots are done, we can finally get around to doing something we've always put off, but have been wanting to do for a long time now. Namely, we're going to recompile all 17 volumes with the covers, table of contents, and a bonus color illustration placed at the start of every volume. Only then can we really say we've completed this series.
In other news, here's what's upcoming starting next month. Mizutama Honey Boy v03 will be released in early October, and we'll be working on it right after it's released. Later on, the first volume of Boy Skirt finally comes out on October 19, and then the next day the first chapter of Ayumi Komura's new series comes out, and as we did with Full Dozer at the end of last year, we'll be releasing the first chapter from the magazine shortly thereafter. A few days later, the third and last volume of Full Dozer comes out, quickly followed by Bokura no Hentai v09 and the second and last volume of Sakura no Sono a couple weeks later. Lastly, although it has not yet been revealed when Norio Tsukudani's new series will begin, it will probably start before the end of this year, most likely either late October or November, and we'll be working on it monthly as we did with Himegoto.
Everything else is left to speculation, including when Kuragehime v16, Shounen Oujo v04, and Ookami Shounen v02 come out, although all three should probably be out by early next year, we think.

So much stuff to look forward to :D
ReplyDeleteThanks so much yet again Hachimitsu scans for the awesome work! Any plans to finish off boku to boku? I recently checked out the mangaka's website and it's listed as complete with 2 volumes produced.
ReplyDeleteThe Waai series have kind of been in limbo since Waai died, though we have not forgotten about them. We would really love it if someone provided us the remaining raws for the series left unfinished, since buying whole volumes just for one chapter has been a lingering issue for us.
DeleteThanks so much for the rest of these, hachimitsu!
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't mind me asking, is there any chance you'll consider Syrup! [Sweet] - http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4904101928 - for more crossdressing anthology comics. acmedan did Syrup! [Bitter] - https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=93171 - a while ago, and I at least thought they were all pretty cute.
Not at this time, and for all intents and purposes, it's probably unlikely we'd do it, at least anytime soon (as in this year). We welcome any and all recommendations, though, and have on occasion accepted to do a few.
DeleteNo problem! You guys always end up choosing good series in the end! I always look forward to seeing what you'll pick.
DeleteCheers!
Thank you! I'll looking forward for the new stuff that'll come next month :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Thank you for your work! Been looking forward to Boy Skirt for months now. Is it still going on though? I haven't seen it on Miracle Jump for months. Did it get axed or something because that would be a shame.
ReplyDeleteAs far as we can tell, it's just been on hiatus, though we're not sure why. Hopefully, now that the first volume is coming out, the serialization will continue as before and we won't have to wait so long for volume 2 to come out.
