[Glory Box]

First of all, thank you to everyone who cheered me up or suggested stuff about my dying PC-- It looks like WinXP went in "Deep Analysis" mode on it and now it seems to work just fine >3> ...Who knows.

Profitting of my resumed PC, I managed to work on Secret Love, the Ninja Bugeicho doujinshi :D

( Click, click--! )

And that's all :D
If you want a copy feel free to PM or e-mail me-- Now I gotta watch Crying Freeman movie on TV >3> !

Ahah, today I messed with the art of yesterday and here's the result:

I'm pretty happy with it :3 --Also if I noticed some huge errors that I'm not going to tell you >3>
Here's the clean artwork: http://daevakun.deviantart.com/art/Secret-Love-cover-art-144096955

Now, for a more informative post, sine I decided to make a doujinshi about a series that practically NOBODY knows...

Ninja Bugeicho Kagemaru-den (translatable as something that sounds like "Manual for Ninja War, The Story of Kagemaru" but it's usually rendered as "Band of Ninja") is a manga published in 1959 by Sanpei Shirato, an author famous for his ninja characters and awesome series (Sasuke and Kamui on top of all, series that painted my childhood with BADASSNESS [and kinda traumatized me too-- they were both pretty violent, pessimistic and sad-- You guys in the USA will probably never manage to watch them with all your parental association stuff :/]) and a left-winged activist: in his works samurai usually met a sad destiny, expecially when they're evil, as peasants try to rise against them, usually failing. In the middle, his ninja heroes, troubled and always on the run for a reason or another.
( Teh Plot )

To get an idea of the art and the characters, you can check the intro of the "movie" that director Oshima came up with (beware, the music is kinda addictive o_o):


And that's all, I hope it's been informative enough to make you buy my doujinshi D:

Yes, after YEARS I'm on a doujin spree.
I actually didn't draw anything yet, 'cause I'm still working the plots in my mind, and some of them don't look successful at all, but after a long contemplation (but mostly from pointless researches over the internet) I decided that some of my favourite pairings need doujin contribution, expecially as a mean to spread their great series.

So, today I'll bother you with a list of my bunnies and related pairings.
Of course feedback IS REQUIRED. Tell me what do you think on the series, pairing or if you find the stuff intriguing enough to feel the need to buy a copy.

Ah, I'll say this in advance; the books will be 20 pages long and virtually free. I'll only require 5 euros/7 dollars for the shipping fees with registered mail (it takes around 2 weeks to arrive oversea).

NINJA BUGEICHO - Kagemaru x Jutaro
I started to fantasize about this pairing almost instantly and I've been encouraged to draw something porny about them by Lan since the sad lack of doujinshi--
A bit of introducing!
Kagemaru is your ninja hero, basically setting up his own ninja team to bother Oda Nobunaga's conquest.
He's a pretty WTF character, in the sense that you never know what's inside his mind, but his charm and leadership are undisputed, to the point that everyone is naturally draw to him.
Jutaro is the son of a samurai who's been killed by his retainer, Shuzen, -who inherited all his father goods, and he's up for revenge as soon as he learned to hold a sword in his hands.
Kagemaru met Jutaro as the boy was going to be defeated by Shuzen's sister, Hotarubi, during one of his solitary attacks to his former castle.
Jutaro lost an arm during the fight and he's about to get killed, when Kagemaru gets in, rip Hotarubi's arm in return and runs away with boy.
For a period Kagemaru took Jutaro under his wing, but then the boy left to follow his needs for revenge.
Kagemaru's sis, Akemi, will eventually fall in love with Jutaro, but she's not destined to happiness also if Jutaro seems to accept her feelings, at least during the end of the story... Fun enough Jutaro never knew that Akemi was Kagemaru's sis.
Kagemaru is a very practical and utilitaristic person. Jutaro is the stereotype of the samurai failure and despite his efforts he's destined to never accomplish his revenge.
It's not clear why Kagemaru helped Jutaro in the first place-- Actually it looks like he did so to get more help against Shuzen, who was practically starving his peasants to death, but considering Jutaro's uselessness it's very unlikely.
To give you an idea of the characters, Kagemaru is somehow similar to Jiraiya (but without the fun porny bits), while Jutaro is practically like Sasuke without Godly Powers.
I was thinking of setting the story during Jutaro's stay with Kagemaru... Since Jutaro lacks of an arm Kagemaru offered to help during his bathing time. Originally Akemi would, but Kagemaru would make her give up, coming up with the excuse that it would be embarassing for someone like Jutaro to be helped by a woman on such things...AND PORN ENSUES.

KEKKO KAMEN GENDERSWAPPING - Chigusa x Mayumi
Ahah, I've a soft spot for Go Nagai demential works...
Kekko kamen is one of those, dealing with a naked heroine who protects the abused girls of the Sparta High School.
Protagonist of the series is Mayumi, a girl with bad marks but a pretty body, the perfect target for the teacher's molestations.
Mayumi spends the most of her time getting stripped off, being saved by Kekko Kamen, being used as a bait to get Kekko Kamen and most importantly, wondering about her saviour's true identity.
During the story various characters are introduced, and all of them seems been related to Kekko Kamen but nobody can say per certain who's behind the red mask: is it the mysterious classmate? The PE teacher? The nurse? The crossdresser? The yankee..? --AND WHAT IF IT'S ALL OF THEM-?!
All of this filled with grotesque situations and other famous characters parodies (most of them in the roles of pervert teachers and classmates-- You can recognize references to the classic mangas of Tezuka and Nagai himself, but also Shirato's ninja [Sanpei Shirato is the author of the Ninja Bugeicho above :D] make an appearance)-- All in all is an extremely stupid series, but I love it!
So, i decided to make a genderbending Yaoi version for the lulz.
( Here you can see the previews of the character designs and how your Dae managed to screw everything up >D )
I'm not sure I'm going to use all of them-- For the story I've in mind, besides Kekko Kamen and Satan no Bokki, the only needed characters are Mayumi, Chigusa and the Sei OC.
That's going to be extremely fun.
The only thing I'm worried about is the lenght of the whole thing... There's no way I can take care of the plot (that is pretty different from canon's) in just 20 pages-- So this is going to be made of at least three or two issues...

SENGOKU MUSOU (SAMURAI WARRIORS) - Nobunaga x Ranmaru
I actually hate this videogame, but I love its design and how Nobunaga and Ranmaru are portrayed here ;3; !
I had to go through walkthroughs, cheats and various Youtube videos to get to know the relevant plot concerning these two.
In the end, Nobunaga's best scenario contemplate this:
- Nouhime and Mitsuhide are both dead;
- He moves forward to unify the country, ready to face Tokugawa, who profits of the mess caused by Mitsuhide's betrayal to turn against his former ally.
Ranmaru's scenario is this one:
- Ranmaru kills Mitsuhide;
- Ranmaru is about to kill Nobunaga too but stops, saying that he'll protect him until he'll realize his dream.
So, there's some bittsweet stuff going around here.
Ranmaru is still uncertain about his feelings for his lord, but most importantly he's confused about what his lord feels towards him.
Meanwhile, Nobunaga rants on how much summer sucks and Ranmaru realizes that his lord is as lonely as himself... AND PORN ENSUES.

SHIGURUI - Gennosuke x Suzunosuke
This is going to be hard.
The canon plot is very strict about this and it's going to be a bitch to fit some porn between the short realization of Suzunosuke's feelings towards his sensei.
So, Gennosuke is one of the main protagonists of the awesome Shigurui series.
He's an introvert guy who rarely talks and whose stoicism makes him look kinda retarded.
Gennosuke is so focused on his loyalty towards his samurai duties and his ADORED Kogan-sensei that he never show any interest for something else.
As one of Kogan's disciples he puts all of himself to manage to use his school secret techniques properly so to become a proper heir to Kogan.
Suzunosuke enters in the picture later, when Gennosuke's leadership is practically undisputed, and he's assigned as his student.
Unfortunately for Suzu, Gennosuke is a harsh teacher, and never tell him a word after defeating him mercilessly during training, though he's encouraged and cheered up by all the other guys in the dojo.
So, as we have no idea of what Gennosuke thinks of the new boy, Suzu is sure that, not only his sensei hates him, but that he's so skilled and AWESOME that he wants to become right like him.
At this point of the story, Kogan dojo is not high considered, because Kogan is completely senile and Gennosuke, his successor, is considered an idiot.
Suzunosuke happens to enter a shop and overhearing such a discussion from some ronin.
His reaction? He cuts one of them to pieces.
His companions reacts immediately, but their leaders make it an excuse to challenge the Kogan dojo.
Suzunosuke feels miserable to have caused such a mess and goes to explain the situation to his nakama.
It's some serious matter, but Gonzaemon, the older disciple of Kogan, can't help a merciless smile: all the guys of Kogan dojo are really up for some slaying.
The day of the duel, the ronin and the Kogan guys meet in an isolated place.
Gennosuke, since his role as the successor, decides that he's going to fight all the ronin by himself.
More, he's not going to use his sword at all again "such dogs".
Suzu is all WTF when Gennosuke entrusts him his swords, while the others are just delighted and suggest Suzu just to look at his sensei.
And, well, Gennosuke just smashes the seven ronin's faces with his bare hands.
And leaves the corpse there as a warning to other morons who are up to mess with Kogan's "Tiger Cubs".
Gennosuke returns to get his words just to meet Suzu's eyes filled with tears of pride and PURE AND UTTER ADORATION.
"Why are you crying, Suzunosuke?" he asks himself, without actually saying nothing to the boy.
After this canon episode, Suzu went to meet Gennosuke before dinner-- AND PORN ENSUES.
