Minazuki Tooru and Takahashi Tatsuya in Kannagi 9… Kurata GJ. That was the strangest place to see those two names again.

Some time ago one of the people in the really popular doujin circles anonymously wrote a breakdown of all costs and profits from doujin.
Sega / Chunsoft’s new visual novel 428 has gotten a perfect score on Famitsu, showing just how much mone— I mean, shows just how good and awesome the game is! 428 is a spiritual sequel to the legendary Chunsoft sound novel “machi” but getting a perfect score on Famitsu is insane.
Just for comparison, Famitsu scores from famous galge:
PS2 Cross Channel 25/40
PS2 Kazoku Keikaku 23/40
PS2 Fate/Stay Night 29/40
PS2 Higurashi no naku koro ni 31/40
PSX To Heart 30/40
DC Kanon 28/40
DC AIR 30/40
PS2 CLANNAD 26/40
SS Kono yo no hatede koi wo utau shoujo YU-NO 27/40
I’ll be getting the game, so I can either laugh at Famitsu (as always) or realise how totally awesome 428 is.

Another serialized artist on Shounen Sunday is deep in debt
Traumaster author is asking for people to buy his manga through his amazon affiliate link to save him from doom.
People from the sengoku era have mysteriously proportioned bodies!
Also a mysterious bald man that has nothing to do with the event apparently appears behind Mitsuhide during her love confession scene and does not disappear till it ends. I guess having a bald guy behind your back during a confession is really romantic in the sengoku era!
Official site for Sengoku Hime can be found here.
Been a while since the last nuclear jirai game.
The official Crypton blog has posted samples from their new upcoming addition to their Vocaloid2 series which gave birth to Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Rin/Len. Actual details about CV03 have not been announced yet, but you can hear how it sounds like at least.
Whoever it is, it’s not Yokune Ruko.
Gpara reports that a new maid cafe called Cafe Rokumeikan has opened in Akihabara on the 11th of November. What makes it different from other maid cafes is that the menu is in English, and the maids will serve you in English.
Aside from drinks and bread, they also have a variety of different services on the menu, such as writing your English name in kanji, giving you a wonderfully DQN kanji name to laugh at.
They also plan to turn the place into a standing bar after 7pm in the future, with an expanded list of alcoholic drinks.
English speaking cafes aren’t new in Japan, but I guess an English speaking maid cafe is new. Maybe.
The official site is here, and some English info together with a map is available here. And a weird story here.
Takeuchi Tetsuya can do better than that!
Angry Kannagi fan
Related to the Nagi is not a virgin thing, he probably went out of the way to buy new books to tear up, but it was a good laugh. Even Yamakan has responded about this virginity thing on his bbs now.

Description for Type-moon Ace vol.2 mentioned a “Tsukihime 2″
Mangaoh has already removed the description. Probably a misprint for Tsukihime remake, but it’d be wonderful if it’s coming.
The battle between Gash author Raiku Makoto and Shogakukan which rocked the industry has now ended with Shogakukan issuing an official apology and paying Raiku a settlement of 2.55 million yen. Raiku says this is a big step for manga authors as the artistic value of manga has been acknowledged.
Also the image on this post has nothing to do with Gash, but it was done by Raiku so I used it anyway.
