No Comiket thread yet? What are you guys looking forward the most?
Obui, Asanagi, Hotate, Neromashin, Great Mosu, Ichimiya, eno, matanonki, ChickeIII, toumasu, bukatsu, Alp, umakuchi,... all the gods I've always followed every comiket I guess.
Is there a site that keeps track of the relevant doujin covers that will be releasing during c105?
I still haven't looked anything up but I'll probably spend some time these days taking notes.>>8382155What an all star casting. I NEED this.>>8382530Last comiket I spent an unreasonable amount of time going through the entire catalog of melonbooks c104 tagged products to make my wishlist. It was a pain in the ass but I got like 95% of the works that I was interested in by doing that. Unless there's a fancier way of getting things done I'll probably repeat.
I want to buy this book but this group doesn't sell anything digitally, I hope someone actually buys it at the con https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/125333309
>>8382288This work is a blatant shinjiro copy even down to the cup size and mole placement
>>8382731there were already too many blatant shinjiro copies, and hotate's previous shorts have same "inspirations" as well.Doesn't stop me from enjoying the same thing just like Mosu or eno been putting out.
Every single time I just pray someone would upload Tony Taka new stuff as soon as they get them https://x.com/Tony_T2ARTWORKS/status/1872891103751635056There’s also LilyLilyRosehttps://x.com/tappe33/status/1872598305458331854A new manga in decades That’s pretty much it
I've been waiting for this for so long. I hope I get to translate it.
>>8382153Sadao's sequel to Netorase Club will be the highlight of this comiket for me.
Obviously takapi's works
>>8382288>Dude, rape and murder lmao: the porn artistsThey might be the biggest and best in their field, but I can't even get hard to most of their work.
Next year is the 50th anniversary of Comiket, artist better bring their A game for such celebration
This one.
Wait, Butcha-U is a woman?https://x.com/butcha_u/status/1873637046709002562
>>8384402I'm shocked as well.https://x.com/butcha_u/status/1873746809111380162
>>8383731>comiket is only five days younger than mewtf when did I get so old
>>8384442>>8384402Could be a booth babe, but it's not that shocking. I think Hana Hook being a grandma is the most shocking
>>8384402>>8384442>My all-time favorite artist responsible for drawing girls getting their shithole remodeled is actually a womanIt might not look like it, but I'm having a nuclear meltdown right now.
>>8382153Been waiting for this since vol 1. Can't wait.
I'm surprised the OP hasn't begged for Sahara Wataru's Naruto porn yet. It's the only reason he made this thread for.
>>8384806They usually say if they're hiring booth girls. There's no mention of it hence the confusion.
>>8384800I'm nutting so hard my dick won't work again until 2026.
>>8383431Do we have any information about this? I need it so fucking badly
Is Saint Shiro done with comics? Did Katsurai Yoshiaki release a complete comic?
>>8384800Same. I kinda want to wait until it's translated. But I don't know if I'll be able to wait that long since this looks so fucking good.
>>8384207is that part 3?
>>8385278It's part 4.
>>8384402>>8384442yes and anyone who says otherwise is a certified NEWFAG
any Jairou buyers
>>8385321The only person that's throwing a temper tantrum here is you.
>>8382153Will there be anything from Inoue Kiyoshirou? That nigga hasn't put anything out in a long timeI hope he's still alive [Metamor] Ryo and shindol, I'm assuming will have new stuff
>>8385425No.He's still alive. Or at least he was active this year, drawing covers for X-Eros as usual.The guy's output has always been sporadic, and I'm sure he's either at or past retirement age at this point anyway. I would not expect to see any more manga from him. If we do, treat it as a happy surprise.
>>8385425>>8385442Just this year they released a really thick version of that manga in a larger format with a new chapter alongside a bunch of his pinups (also including the sketches for the OG) x.com/wanimagazine/status/1813489421926432878it was being pushed at the end of Wani magazines during the year so not a comiket entry but still a good year for Inoue's connoisseurs
How do I go about ordering from melonbooks if I don't have a Japanese address and they no longer accept visa/mastercard?
>>8382153who do I contact to buy & scan the latest from Sahara Wataru? I hate waiting a month after comiket for it to get uploaded
>>8385594You can use a proxy service. I have been using japan rabbit which is easy and convenient to use but it can be pretty expensive. So if you care about that I recommend looking for alternatives. You can find more information about proxy and forwarding services in the buyfag guide.
>>8385590ArigatoThe original is the only physical I have boughtIt sucks it was through Fakku, but he's the best
>>8385603The same face looking pretty bad there, but at least he has girls other than Sakura
>>8385603Fiver exists in Japan IIRC.I cannot remember the service name but some guy who buys Studio Ghibli tickets (very hard to get as a foreigner since the website is trash and has a tiny allocation) and he also buys doujins. Try searching that shit up
>>8386054The quality of the books has been steadily decreasing too, they peaked like 10 years ago.
Anyone got the Nekopara artbook?
>https://exhentai.org/g/3178165/043c6ea6e6/>Black Dog>sampleGreat, time to wait for 1 month for it to get uploaded
>>8384402>>8384442He literally went to an expo in NA because he was a guest as a panel for Fakku, anons. Hundreds of people know what he looks like.
>>8386506Time changes people, you know.
>>8386648Doesn't even have the same neck skin or those double skin dots that the booth babe does, you retard.
>>8386648You're right but I'll convince myself of the cooler alternative
>>8386506He looks based.
>>8385590Is this on panda. I forget what it's called.
[spoiler]typehatena[/spoiler] is also gonna be there it seems...
>>8386906samefagging, im retarded. not only did i fail the spoilertag, typhtn is going to be at comitia 151 not comike 105 gomen
Is there a reason why people post doujin scans that is like 20mb+ per page? Just a 30 page doujin can be larger than an anime episode (500mb+ in total).Is it useful for scanlation purposes or something?
>>8387433either- more MB gives more credits- they're dumbasses who don't understand image formats
>>8385142>>8387020The part of this that's really imopssible to ignore is that there are actual good female composers in Japan. That's so rare elsewhere to have women writing good music for soundtracks
>>8382153God I love Ter to fucking much. Probably my favorite artist.
>>8390296I now know japanese because one day in 2022 after reading a good english translation of onna no ko-tachi no himitsu na bouken I got this uncontrollable urge to open the raw and painstakingly look up every single word I don't know and then I kept doing that with an endless variety of material without missing a single day. Forever grateful to TER for drawing lolis so beautiful that they can motivate my NEET soul
>>8390721As someone who translates for learning, I'm curious as to what your process was like. Like how did you pick up grammar, did you use any tools for information retention, etc.Also, did you peruse content outside of hentai? Seems like it's necessary to pick up more vocabulary. But it's annoyingly hard to find stuff like anime/manga in Japanese.I would be interested in hearing about your learning journey, if you're inclined to share.
>>8391925I already knew a few basic grammar rules consciously/abstarctly probably before starting, as well as a bunch of random vocab from having spammed duolingo for a brief period a while before that. But the vast majority of grammar I just absorbed. I have at least 1000+ hours of listenign and readinb y each. And yeah not just hentai, an very wide variety including hundreds at least of anime episodes, many manga volumes, dozens of LN volumes if you combine the ones I read plus the ones I listened in audiobook format, hundreds of hours worth of VNs plus listening to LPs of them (I notice specifcally when I tried my first VN, fell in love with it then listened to a 実況 of it my vocabulary increased at an absudrly high rate, I felt like I was acquiring 100+ words a day at one point. I think hearing a word in a sentence you understand after you saw the word looked it up in the past REALLY settles it in your brain)Many hours of listening to talky youtubers etc. An important thing was I had a full-time job for over a year where I was ablet o listen to stuff for several hours a day while working, it was one of those brainless jobs where the distraction of the listening didn't interfere. And yes I used/use anki, for a long time exclusively mining words I couldn't read to not overmine, when it became that there were very few words I couldn't read so I had more leeway to lower my standards for what's worth making a card out of, I started mining words if I thought I might not understand th em if I heard them while listening later. I have no idea how much anki has helped, it would be interesting to do it again without anki to see if it would take longer to reach my level without it but do everything else the same. Sage because off topic
>>8392842I see, so an immersion-heavy approach with some tools on the side.I do want to immerse more, but finding Japanese content is difficult for me. Rather, video and audio content is abundant, but I don't know where to get Japanese manga, anime (with JP subs), VNs, LNs, etc. (I know I could watch anime in JP with subs turned off, but my listening is far behind my reading so I would really want the JP subs at first). If you are able to share where you got your content, it would be really helpful for me.Also, what's your process for looking up unknown words? At least in my experience translating stuff on here, I never have copyable text and have to rely heavily on a kanji lookup tool, which is super inefficient. Do you use some sort of OCR tool?
>>8392842I started learning seriously 2 years ago as well, but I couldn't immerse as much due to work and not spending all my freetime in learning japanese, so as of right now I'm still terrible at it, especially listening.Still trying to read 30 mins everyday but sometimes I wonder if it's because I'm retarded for not improving after 500-ish hours.
>>8393678If I remember correctly increase in comprehension is massive after reaching a critical mass where you start notcing the parts you don't understand because you understand by default instead of noticing the parts you do understand, so until you push the rock over that hill your progress might be harder to notice. Especially the first phase of listening, i wasnt sure if i was improving for a bit. I do think intensive amounts of input concentrated in smaller spaces amplifies learning speed as well. Imagine reading for 6 one day how many chances you have to encounter a word you used to not know, whereas 30 minutes a day you might not see it again until next week. Also the more you understand the more value you're getting from what you're listening to and as your reading speed increases you're getting more in the same amount of time. So there's a snowball effect and it's always harder than it's ever going to be, the beginning being the hardest
>>8393633If I encountered a kanji I didn't know blocking me from looking up a word and it wasn't an LN/WN where I could simply copy paste it then I used the parts selector in jisho org to find it. Very slow at first, but eventually you get fast at picking out the parts and as your vocab increases you can just type out the kanji to put the unknown words together. Now I almost never have to do this because 1. I have a big vocabulary now 2. the chance of a word I don't know not having familiar kanji enabling me to look it up is not high 3. Words that are rare enough for me to not know nowadays almost always have furigana, even in a work that almost never uses furigana cause japanese writers tend to like including furigana for rare words they think some people might not know, so I can just look up the word by the furigana anyway. I never learned how to use an OCR or text extractor or anything but im not against them at all. Use kitsunekko for JP subs. dlraw for manga. Lolibrary and Anna's archive to find LN epubs, also huge troves of epubs and audiobooks on nyaa (which is also where you'll find most VNs). People really like to share epubs in /lng/ so you can lurk there/scroll archives for that. Also you see a certain point of advice a lot from some people "don't use JP subs you'll never develop your listening." I have like 99+% comprehension of anime without subs nowadays and that's bullshit, i stuck with JP subs on for most of my journey and I doubt people saying that have comprehension as good as me. Yeah it doesn't train your raw listening specifically but you'll reach high comprehension faster that way, which will make it easier for your brain to improve raw listening later. I switched to raw after I developed very high comprehension with subs but would still fail to catch stuff with them off, which meant time to take the training wheels off in my mind. Audiobooks and youtubers are better for pure listening input anyway.
Did the Ane Naru Mono art book from last comiket ever get uploaded anywhere?
Crazy that Ankoman is still not scanned.
>>8394960Obui and Try likewise. Weird.
through how many pages is it okay to flip through until I morally have to buy the doujin?
>>8395018if there is a sample copy, all of themif there isn't, you touch it you buy it
Really don't know where I can ask about it but maybe the comiket thread is the best place. Haven't read lots of doujin but I really liked Petit Heaven (especially Girl 2,3 and 5). The drawings are clean and light, the contrasts are mild, the outlines for the girls quite elegant. Moreso the girls have long slender legs for the most part. Can't stand the lowkey chubby down syndrom femdoms. They have cute and joyful faces, no over the top exaggeration in their expressions but rather an almost romantic type of heat.In one word: It's just a beautiful doujin and I'm looking for more in this style. Any recommendations?
>>8382153When do most of the scans get uploaded usually?It seems a bit slow this year
>>8398824A few days afterwards. But yes, we've lost a lot of scanner bros over the years, so be ready to wait a long time for what isn't up yet.
might be coincidence that most ffm threesome doujin I've read this comiket have blowjob rimjob combo
Did anyone looked at this illustration book by Signalviolet or bought it even? Picrel is the coverLink to the fanbox post: https://signalviolet.fanbox.cc/posts/9056227
Is loli illegal now?Why can't I find it anywhere online?
>>8399627No.Because you're only looking in normie places.
>>8399627just use yandex instead of google
did anyone buy sugarbt's newest work?
>scans where the scanner retard doesn't properly press the book against the scanner so 1/4 of the page is just blurredreally tempted me to return to scanning if the zoomer scanners can't even follow basic scanning techniques.
>>8402304but that breaks the spine!
>>8402332They're scanning it as if the book is like 200 pages long when it's only 28 pages on average. It's easy to get a clear scan without breaking the spine and you can fix the page bends easily after.
Has anything been uploaded?Panda doesn't have much
at last some artists are uploading the digital version now. bukatsu and hotate's for today I guess
>>8402304>>8402518>Go to EXHentai and other doujin sites>Some doujins are still my shiity, borderline two decade old scans I did while refusing to break the spineUntil someone redid the translation of Nightmare of My Goddess on the digital version you could see one of my hairs that had gotten caught on the scanner. It's one way to be immortalized.
>>8402127i wish he would do some more pokemon
>>8402735lol, well done, I always put one hair in on a large black area of one pagesadly nobody has noticed my signature yet (or at least commented on it)
>>8402735Yea the scans I'm talking about are actually worse than what you posted. I'll post the example if I find it again but I saw a translator in the comments saying it's unusable and he'd rather wait for a digital or better scan kek.
I WANT DIGITAL NOW OOGA BOOGA
>>8402735this is like not noticing pube hair on the girl's mouth wtf
>>8402776me too, my niggahis lisia doujin was pure kinoalso, why the fuck his art get worse? he draws so many deformed mouths, noses etc. now and makes the faces too wetpic related (upper row is his second-to-latest doujin and bottom row is his art from five years ago)what the fuck is going on with the guy?
>>8402977Based femboy dom enjoyer.
>>8382153can you tel me the title of this artwork? i would love to see it but i cant read japanese
>>8386054It's still ridiculous he hasn't done one focused on Sakura and Ino's rivalry yet.
>>8382155damn, thought it was gonna be a 5Ds book...oh well, it's gonna arrive at my house tomorrow anyway>>8384800already got this>>8387439>- more MB gives more creditswait, really?!>>8394960which one? I bought both from Yahoo via proxy, but still waiting on 6 other doujins for them to get, and then try to figure out how much shipping is gonna be for 20 doujins from 7 different sellers
>>8405269you got intimidated by retarded newfags, lolhttps://archived.moe/h/search/tripcode/%21%21r5%2BgTebyhs7/order/asc/
>>8386506I went to C105 this year and got his Resident Evil book. There's crazy shit in it like Tiananmen Square references and Xi Jingping watermarks on pics of Ashley getting fucked.It came with a DVD too I need to get around to watching,.
>>8405340???No idea what that has to do with replying to >>8382155>>8384800>>8387439>>8394960
>>8393633If you wanna find tools to help you learn Japanese theres loads of guides online. Can't link them here but look up TheMoeWay or xelieu lazy guide. I went from 0 Japanese to being able to read novels easily in about 3 years of lazy immersion.
>>8405493What I'm gathering from these guides is that I should know enough to be immersing. However, the hard part for me is determining what to immerse with and then actually being able to obtain that material (and without going bankrupt). You might notice me practicing around here by translating some images (not the Translatorfag thread guy), but I know that translating is not a proper way to immerse. Too slow, and defeats the purpose by constantly switching between languages. The hurdle for me is that loads of content doesn't have text that can be copied, so looking up words with kanji I don't know takes a lot longer.I know I would be better off if I just did literally anything other than agonizing over what I think I should be immersing with. But I just can't seem to drag myself out of that pit.
>>8405529The key is to find something you can't help but binge. You have to pick what you like/are interested in. I don't know you but I have an inexhaustible backlog. Also all English entertainment has to be replaced with Japanese to maximize your hours until your comprehension is really high so you don't have to worry about it anymore
>>8405493One thing I can tell you for sure is that if you've been duped into following Mehmet's Them***y guide, your best option is to stop now. He just copied what matt said, changed a couple things and put his patreon links all over it. His half-assed "guide" is full of malware, and he scams people for donations. He doesn’t even know Japanese unlike the creators of the official djt guide. Also, avoid the anki decks he shills or you'll get crippled.Beginners, be sure to use only the /jp/ guide by Tatsumoto if you want to make it. tatsumoto.neocities.org
>>8393633>I do want to immerse more, but finding Japanese content is difficult for me. read https://tatsumoto.neocities.org/blog/introduction-to-learning-japanese#how-to-immerse>where to get Japanese manga, anime (with JP subs)everything is here https://tatsumoto.neocities.org/blog/resources

>>8405931some doujin artists use way harder vocabs than the average nukige. Sometimes I actually go searching instead of whitenoising even with one hand using phone. Sagattoru's すべられて for example, is still one of the harder doujin for me.
>two doujin with split tongue + rimjob
>tfw just read Neromashin's family wreckage part 4fucking wild. I was a little bit disappointed by part 3 after the omega kino that was part 2 since it was "more of the same" without any twists but this one is amazing. neromashin on top of his game with the dad + gilf triple penetration scene. Gave me back the same vibes I got on hojou no reizokou elf when the father returns utterly mindbroken and starts drilling his daughter.kino
>2025年01月中旬when is this and why is it not a specific date
>>8406538中旬(ちゅうじゅん) means middle of the month下(げ)旬 and 上(じょう)旬should be self explanatory based off this.You should already know if this if you've read comics that have 上・中・下巻
>>8406968of course I know it's the middle of the month but I don't know if it means the 15th or the 20th
>>8407014It's somewhere between the 10th and 20th day of the month. It's basically like using Fahrenheit but less bullshit.
>>8385603I have it. But I'm not posting it (because I don't have a scanner).
On my DHL page it says "delivery is cancelled either at the request of the sender or country specific reasons". Am I fucked? From Austria and never in years had this happen before. Package had 3 doujinshi. Too scared too call there.
>>8407084How high does it rank compared to the rest of his naruto works?
Does anybody have any shots of Momofuki Rio's work? Honestly was one of his fans would be willing to share his work but I guess he's still pretty niche.
>>8407084How much attention do Tsunade and Shizune get?
>>8385603His Sarada is the only good one
No Ankoman kino yet huh, it's almost as despairing as waiting for Imaria 3+4 to go online
There's still no Obui's.Not C105 related but waiting for Blue's Love Maid 2 and Sadao's Netorase club 2.
>>8407168>>8407985Above average because he actually focuses on Tsunade and Shizune (doesn't have a single line of dialogue) almost as much as Sakura.
>>8408680Great news anon, thanks for reporting.
>>8405269>which one?One with Shinji.
stuff I won or bought from yahoo auctions, but don't have the $$ for shipping yet because it's 20-something items from 13 different sellers
>>8409935Very nice, some of those I'm also ordering on my next haul. Assuming I'm right about the literal last item, I also got myself a copy of konoshige's last work that should arrive... at some point. When I learned about it I lost my shit. Pretty excited about that.Who's the artist of the blond oppai loli on the last row? Looks great.Melon gives me nothing on たんぺん or the english title.
The prequel's been up on the panda a while ago
>>8409949Ok the absolute units at melonbooks actually listed it as たんぺン instead of たんぺん. The cheeky bastards.100% getting both, don't mind that it's just 12p.
>>8409935what proxy service is the best?
>>8410171basically anything that uses paypal (looking at you, buydoujinshi, why the fuck did they drop paypal)well, almost anything, I mean, the ones I know allow p*rn would be buydoujinshi, treasure-japan, vv.japan, hoyoyo, japan rabbit (although no paypal selection). Dunno about the rest
>>8405269Are you planning to scan them? The Shinji one is inevitably going to get a digital release soon enough, but the Gridman one is much more up in the air, so a scan would be really appreciated.
Was gonna buy this a couple comikets ago, but I was late to and now I don't know if I want to cop any hauls this time
Last haul was around C102
>>8410653Sure, just too broke for shipping atm
