Lately, there’s been a sudden wave of comments requesting me to e-mail them volume 6/7 -7 of After School Nightmare (Houkago Houkenshitsu). I don’t know why I get a feeling that there’s some kind of conspiracy going on; that if they pressure me strong enough, I’d relent. Or they could have thought that I actually sent the requested volumes to the first person who left an e-mail address, and thought I’d send them the volumes too.

Well, I didn’t. I don’t mean to be rude, but to those people, you do know that my internet bandwidth would go down the drain, would you? Unless I’m in Malaysia, I don’t have unlimited bandwidth. I’ve used up 51GB of my monthly bandwidth allowance, and now I’m running on dial-up speed (just a little bit faster).

Secondly, I won’t send you those volumes, so please stop requesting. And please, for the sake of your mailboxes, stop leaving your e-mail addresses when you leave comments. You’re inviting more SPAMs to your mailboxes. Who’s to say one or two won’t make it pass the filter and sit in your normal inbox[es]?

I figure it’s impossible to get it, but hey, it’s worth trying. Eh… I really really should study seriously for finals DX Before that, I’d just like to share this doujinshi panel I translated. Gundam 00 x Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei for the win :3

This is a parody on the fact that Tieria’s seiyuu and Itoshiki-sensei’s is the same person. Gakuen Heaven’s Saionji too, but that’s another story. I’m in need for cracks. All the angst is keeping my brain sluggish. Guh…

EDIT2: Crack is sometimes found in SPAM folders of my mailboxes. Like these:

My SPAM folders have been in despair for a while. Why aren’t SPAMS getting creative? I’m tired of cleaning out same old spams day after day. I just feel like screaming out “For goodness’ sake, I don’t have a friggin p***s, so sending me ‘en*l*rg***nt pills’ spams isn’t funny anymore DX”

p.s/ Does anyone know if the English scanlation of Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi has been released or not? I’ve been out for a while…

Finally after the refreshing and angsting, they stocked it up and I promptly hit ORDER NOW. Took them long enough D:<

Seriously, I’m hoping for the doujinshi series to end already. Suzaku is getting too emotionally frustrated at Lelouch’s total obliviousness. In the last volume, he was thinking of how wonderful it would be if he’s not human… and Rivalz thought the depressed-looking guy was contemplating some kind of suicide plan.

For those unfamiliar with the doujin series, Sugar Drop: Lancelot no Yousei-san is CM + PA’s really really cute and funny AU (kind of) Code Geass doujinshi revolving around Suzaku and his (should be Lancelot’s, actually, but well…) fairy, Lelouch. As a fairy prince, Lelouch oversees the development of new generation of Knightmare frames by assisting chosen devicers. The previous devicer was an unknown girl, and Suzaku was chosen personally by Lelouch. In this universe, they aren’t childhood friends, but the bit sized fairy Lelouch is still a prince AND Zero, though it wasn’t revealed what Zero was actually doing in Japan.

Back to the topic at hand… I was excited about the seventh volume because unlike the previous ones, this volume actually has 52 pages. The previous volumes all have 32 pages (as are the Tsundere Ouji to Tennen Knight volumes). The extra 20 pages makes me giddy, hence my impatience.

I’ll probably be collecting more Gundam 00 doujin in 2009, but I won’t abandon my CG collections especially if they’re by my favourite circles.

p.s/ My finals starts tomorrow and ends this Monday. Just a little bit more! XD

My copy has finally arrived!!! JPQueen, you’re awesome, or maybe Japan post is just so awesome. I swear their airmail is much much faster than EMS :3

Let’s see what this anthology has:

• The first time Rolo started as a Lamperouge, he totally failed. In the classroom when asked to solve a math problem, he said ‘they haven’t learned that part yet’ and everybody whispered ‘what the heck, is he really Lelouch’s brother?’. When he totally excelled at physical education, people whispered again ‘what’s that? Is he really Lelouch’s brother’. Haha… He went home depressed, but was touched at Lelouch’s cooking his favourite food. He studied really hard after that, and awed people when he solves questions easily in the classroom
• Lelouch in a LIVE musical, wearing a totally ridiculous suit. Poor guy… He only agreed to it because Gino was also involved in the same embarrassing situation
• We all know Sayoko fangirls over Suzaku. As Lelouch’s kagemusha, she totally fanboys him and even invited him home. The one to see Suzaku? Of course, the actual Lelouch~ It turned out that what Sayoko blurted out was “I’D LIKE YOU TO CLEAN MY EARS” ~___~
• Rivalz totally got the wrong idea about Suzaku and Lelouch’s relationship, so when both of them seiged the throne, he went “I don’t know what’s truly happening, but I wish both of you happiness“. Haha..
• Moe C.C stitched Lelouch’s cape with rose pattens, and attached peacock feathers to his mask.Lelouch went mad, and yelled “IS THIS ON PURPOSE?!” and scared the heck out of Moe!C.C

Previews for scanned pinups:

This and much much MORE crack that got me LOLing all morning! I scanned the pinups for those who are interested. The Knight of Rounds pinup is so hot, though I totally reject GinoSuza, but this one has Anya, so… And did I also mention that the back cover is Charles? More?

View larger 1449 x 2125 (4.87mb): HERE

Anya, I would totally fanboy over your if I’m a guy. Even when I’m a girl, I still fangirl over you. Hrm…

View larger 2618 x 2135 (8.40mb): HERE

Here we go… The royal family. Schneizel and Cornelia scares me there… Clovis looks adorable, though. And Lelouch is just Lelouch.

And last but not least, the back cover. Half-topless Syaruru! Why he was blushing, I’m not sure I want to know *_*

Sorry, I didn’t scan the larger version of the back cover of Charles. If it’s the totally hot younger version of himself, I probably would.

I haven’t gotten around to scanning the full volumes of the previous ones. I’ll scan bits, probably, and scanlate some amusing parts. I’m I’m feeling up to it, I’ll scan all (if I’m feeling not so lazy, I mean).

Junjou Romantica 2 - Episode 4
口は災いの元 ( Out of the Mouth Comes Evil )
Lit: The mouth is the source of disaster

Yawns… I’m feeling extremely sleepy for God knows why. I thought I already had enough rest these past few days, but apparently my body is trying to catch up to all the rest that I lost during the hectic months I was tortured by streams after streams of assignments and courseworks. That aside, time for episode 4! And Junjou Egoist :3

Bittersweet fluffy angst is how I’ve been describing JE, and this episode is no exception. Nowaki just doesn’t realise that by calling Hiroki ‘Hiro-san’, he’s on a whole different level compared to everyone else. It doesn’t matter if it sounds less romantic, but hey, you’re special~ And I bet Hiroki would be 100% more flustered if you were to call him just ‘Hiroki’. For me, it would bring your cuteness down a few notch (don’t ask me why).

Eh… Why the heck was I addressing Nowaki when I type O_o?

Anyways, Nowaki’s wild imagination is fully animated, and it KILLED me with serious bouts of laughter.

Junjou Egoist and the classic of classics ‘catch me if you can’ + ‘ahahahahaha~’ scene. (Now I can never listen to Abarai Renji’s voice the same way again *__*)

Er, ahem… I don’t blame Nowaki for feeling insecure every once in a while. He’s so quiet it probably hurt sometimes. It’s only a little bit funny that Junjou Egoist walks on the longest timeline but takes longer to untangle. Guh, egoists… The end scene below is supposed to be sweet/romantic, but I seriously LOLed into my pillow.

“But Hiro-san is always more beautiful“. alskdjfhg NOWAKI~~~ How much sweeter can you be

Go watch if you haven’t already :3 And for a weekly JR poll….

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

Point # 1

I’m trying to build a Junjou Romantica related links database (sort of), and I’ll be needing J.info readers’ help in doing so. Basically, I need links to sites that focus specifically on JR or anything related to JR. And maybe sites that specifically focus on Shungiku-sensei’s works too.

Japanese illustration sites, fansites, fanlistings, wikis, livejournal accounts/communities, other journal communities, forums,… Anything that has JR as their main focus :3

If you’re contributing some links, do reply to this entry with the following:

Site Name: _______
Site URL: _________
Site Owner: (if known)

If you’re a site owner, leave your name as well~

Point # 2

The server is very much stable now, and I couldn’t be happier. If you’re thinking of creating a JR related site, you’re more than welcome to apply for hosting. I can host small sites (domains or subdomains). We really DO need more JR fansites on the net, and I’d be more than happy to help. If you’re hosting a domain name, you’ll get cPanel and Fantastico. If you’re choosing a subdomain, you can choose either http://yoursite.junjou.info OR http://yoursite.junjou.org. Scanlation groups looking for hosting are invited as well.

Much love from me! *goes back to assignment*

The boys gave me a special slashy pose XD

Been a little bit busy today because my cohort (Cohort 4) arranged a farewell dinner for our seniors (Cohort 3). Refer to the pic above of me and three of my friends :3 I don’t know why, but those boys started making that slashy pose just for me. Heck, yeah~

Our seniors are going back to Malaysia after finals for another year in IPBA, and then they’re off as fresh grads and fully trained English teachers. This only means that 2008 is almost coming to an end, and I have less than 2 and a half years of study left before I’m posted at my first school and start working.

Joy… My students are going to get a yaoi fangirl for a teacher. I guess I need to wear some kind of I-don’t-know-what-you’re-talking-about smile if I’m found out one way or another. Ha… No, society. You won’t be able to pressure me! I’ll do what I have to do, so I’ll make sure I’m not questioned for whatever it is I do in my free time D:

Okay. I guess I REALLY need to remedy my tendency of going out of the main point of my post. I had so much fun tonight. The performances are great, though I missed some of them when I was washing the dishes at the back when we ran out of plates ;_; Bad planning on our parts, I know. The food was awesome. Chicken Curry Kapitan (seriously finger or cutlery-licking-ly tasty), fruit salad (watermelons + pineapples + strawberries, grapes, kiwis), and some snacks (cakes, cookies, etc). I had no idea watermelons are REALLY expensive here in Auckland. Imported, I guess that’s why it’s around $24/kg. I can get it for like RM3/kg in my hometown. *sigh*

We exchanged gifts, had a good laugh together, and just had fun with each other. Our coordinators were invited as well, and everybody danced the ‘Poco Poco Dance’. I’m uploading the video as I write this.

And then I suddenly realised that I have a portfolio to hand in by 4p.m tomorrow that I haven’t finished yet. Eh… I guess I’ll go work on it now.

p.s/ My SuzaLulu doujinshis (circle: Ashes to Ashes) ‘Arcadia‘ and ‘Garnet Red‘ arrived today! Now I only need to wait for my Knight Anthology 5. Hail JPQueen new and cheaper airmail shipping, which sometimes get my stuff to Auckland WAY FASTER than EMS. Or is it only the Japanese mail services that’s so efficient?

p.p.s/ Taishi, you’re right~ I need to inject J.info with some taste of my real life. It’s kind of like a proof of existence of some sorts, and that I don’t live for fandoms.

I scanlated a few pages that I find really amusing too (scroll down for the pages, or hit ‘read more’ if you’re on the index page).

Continuation of some sorts after Perfect Mission, as promised. Some more crack to brighten up the day~ This short but sweet doujinshi contains the following cracky situations:

• In a desperate attempt to get Tamaki to stop regarding himself and Zero as ‘True Friend’, Lelouch geasses him “We’re not true friends!’ Tamaki went “Ah, sorry…” and then to Lelouch’s misery he went “We’re cute friends, aren’t we?! Yay! Yay!” Seems like geass couldn’t get him to stop
• Sayoko didn’t only arrange Lelouch’s date with those many girls and Shirley, but also with Suzaku, using the perfect imitation of smitten!Lelouch. Rolo insisted it was too much and that Lelouch wasn’t like that, but Lelouch felt threatened because Sayoko knew him TOO WELL if she could imitate him in that way
• Rolo and Suzaku got all angsty after Lelouch and Shirley got the best couple on Cupid’s Day. Suzaku’s despair was even worse than Rolo, to his surprise.
• Lelouch dreamt that on Cupid’s Day, the best couple was himself and Suzaku.
• Moe!CC tried to act like a ‘proper female slave’ and invited Lelouch to take a bath with her. Lelouch simply said “You’re not a child anymore, get in by yourself.” CC was awed, having this kind of master for the first time. Lelouch was actually just not interested. Quote: “Women’s bodies have no meaning” XD
• Remember Turn 17 and the infamous shrine scene? When Lelouch thought Suzaku was betraying him yet again, he firmly told Suzaku that from that point onwards, they’d truly break up XD (”Zekkou da!”) And Suzaku went “No! Just not that!”. Apparently, he mentioned that it was fine before this with all the I hate you’s and ex-friends thingie, but he just won’t accept breaking up. Haha… Poor Kanon had to deal with the melodrama of the situation, calling a reinforcement of 50 Britannian foot soldiers to deal with the stupid couple (who were currently kissing, btw)

Keep on reading for the scanlated pages~

IT’S OVER!!! THE NAKED TRUTH ARC IS OVER!!

I don’t know if I should feel sad or happy right now. I’ve been waiting for this arc to be over for like… forever! Now that it’s over and done with, I really am going to miss all the ‘desperately waiting for the next chapter because 2 months is a long wait’ routine. But but but!!

HANDS UP WHO THINKS THE CONCLUSION IS WAAAAAAAAAAAY TOO SHORT!! D:< I know I do.

Yamane-sensei spared us the angst of Akihito really getting shot. Asami was relieved to see the bullet isn’t dislodged in Akihito’s body. and here I was hoping for some bitersweet angst. In his shocked state, Akihito didn’t notice Asami holding him at first. But when he noticed (T for Takaba, because Asami already has the A):

T: Asami… Why… Why…
T: WHY DIDN’T YOU COME SOONER!
T: I WAITED FOR YOU!! I WAITED FOR SIGNS OF YOU!!
A: MY BAD…
T: I… Nothing but you… I did nothing but wait for you…

Oh my God….

Akihito shielded Fei Long from Asami. He didn’t want both of them to go on having grudges on each other, and wanted all the rivalry between them to stop. They needed to come to an understanding. Fei Long, for my absolute relief, was sincere when he said he kind-of fell for Akihito :3

And Yoh… YOH! I think I can hope for a Yoh x Fei properly now?

How come Mikhail got such an unimportant closure, though? I thought for sure he’d at least be injured. He just looked totally bored at the end.

M: It’s the end already? How boring…

Mikhail, can I butcher you?

The long awaited Asami x Akihito smex is so sweet beyond words. Asami was thinking of Takaba, and how he definitely wouldn’t want to let go of him anymore. His thoughts are sweeeeeeeetttt (too much for a yakuza):

A: Takaba Akihito…
A: I wish (hope) you’d love only me.

And the end words?

T: The existence of this man standing before my eyes is too large
T: I can’t go back to my previous self anymore
T: But…
T: I’ll be fine with whatever happens after this
T: …Because I can’t think of anything else but ‘Asami’.

Okay. I’ll go calm down now. In the meantime:

Warning: Image-heavy entry, from Turn 22. There really should be more of this on Nico2. I’m still waiting for the editor to get to Turn 25. It’s been a month since the last part… Zerozaku and Luluko angst would be so awesome. If you haven’t watched this, go find it because it’s really amusing, though they could have tweaked FukuJun’s Lulu!voice to sound a like a girl’s like FukuJun’s Okane ga Nai’s Ayase at least a little bit.

Turn 17: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm4505683 <– Violence against women D:<

More screencaps to go. Since this is manipulated from Turn 22, there’s a little bit of a Yuri-ish scene between Kallen and Empress Luluko :3 but really, I don’t care. Proceed?

END~ And some omake plus customary “Mata mite Geass!!” insert.

Will probably update more when the next Hangyaku no Luluko comes out. I wonder if I should make a post for Turn 17 too…
