The July issue of Monthly Comic @Bunch goes on sale today, May 21st. Included is the twenty-sixth chapter of GANGSTA. As per usual, I have the magazine on order and will scan from it when it arrives. ^^

Edit: Kohske has subsequently confirmed via Twitter that GANGSTA. will be on the cover of the August issue of the magazine.

GANGSTA. character clothes swap, based on Kohske’s results from the Dress Shuffle generator. Yeah.

Another one of Kohske’s request drawings, this time pairing up the two characters people most wanted to see in a sexual situation. You always get interesting character match-ups with these request pics… ^^;

Edit: Oh Kohske, you.

Kohske’s preview image for chapter twenty-six, which will feature in July 2013’s @Bunch magazine (on sale May 21st). Looks like we’re in for another interesting chapter!

My apologies for not posting anything too detailed lately, I’ve had some real life stresses and work has consumed me a little. Forgive me! ^^;

Okappa-san from the Kuchiku-tai wearing the marching band outfit from Alex Gaudino’s “Destination Calabria” music video. Totally fitting considering both the character and the clip (see here). I wonder if we’ll get her proper name sometime soon?

Chapter 25 throws us straight back into the battle between the hunters and the Paul Klee Guild. For those looking for a Benriya hit, sadly our heroes don’t appear at all this time. On the topic of sad… we also lose one of the more vibrant secondary cast members this chapter. :( And just to add to the whole affair, Connie finds herself in the hunters’ clutches before the chapter is out.

Very intense stuff this time around. At least we get to see who shares Gina’s bed at night, I guess (aww yiss). I expect 26 will up the intensity to 11 and cause my head to implode from the seriousness of it all.

A full colour illustration from Kohske this time — and it’s Gina~!

(If you want to see Gina half-awake and sans make-up, buy this month’s @Bunch.)

As promised, here are some scans from my copy of the first Indigo no Yoru reprint. I haven’t included the insert images because they’re extremely minimal (in number and design). I have, however, scanned all the character design/profile pieces and the lovely cover picture. All, of course, drawn by the ever-talented Kohske. The next volume in the reprint series comes out in June so you’ll have to wait until then for more Indigo no Yoru: Kohske style.

For those waiting on my monthly @Bunch post, I’m afraid my EMS shipment will be slightly delayed by the Anzac Day public holiday here in Australia. I’ll scan some images from the magazine as soon as it arrives. In the meantime, please enjoy the swank art from Indigo no Yoru.

The June issue of Monthly Comic @Bunch is now on sale (as of April 20th). Included is the twenty-fifth chapter of GANGSTA., which is forty pages in length. Unfortunately it looks as if the previously revealed paper craft Worick is an @Bunch 2nd Anniversary mail prize, so it (along with the other anniversary items) will be out of reach for international fans.

As usual, I’ll scan from my copy of @Bunch once it arrives. (^^)

The official Shueisha Bunko website for the Indigo no Yoru reprints opened today. You can visit the site here. Above is a sample of the character designs as interpreted by Kohske (plus, y’know, profiles). The site gives a brief rundown of the novel series as well as a few bonuses. Most interestingly it shows projected release dates for the remaining volumes.

- Volume 2 (Chocolate Beast) will be released on June 26th 2013.
- Volume 3 (White Crow) will be released on August 21st 2013.
- Volume 4 (D Color Vacation) will be released October 18th 2013.

As Kohske revealed earlier today, the series will be continuing with new chapters in no・no magazine. Fingers crossed this means future books featuring Kohske’s designs~!
