Figure creator Moge has announced that he’ll be selling an action figure of Touhou creator ZUN at Comiket this winter, with direct permission granted by ZUN too.
It’ll be sold through the doujin circle “inishie no nushi”, which belongs to an acquaintance of Moge’s.
Now everybody can have their own ZUN on display at home!

From Vol. 0:
So, how was the movie?
I’ve already previously said this clearly on one of the earlier comics, but I’m a mangaka and not an animator. I can’t do animation. Even though I’m credited as the executive producer for the movie, my job is basically to make use of my authority as the original author and get people to make something that I’m satisfied with. After the movie ends, a lot of people’s names start appearing. A huge amount of names will appear. If you found the movie interesting, please clap for all these people.
There was a phrase going around among the production staff “Lets all be happy together in December!”. During the making of the movie, it’s okay to get into a fight with anyone, it’s okay to make people angry. As long as we make something good without making any compromises, the customers will definitely be happy. And when we see this, all the pain and hardship felt during production will disappear instantly.
I believe that we’ve made a movie that will bring happiness to everybody.
I give my deepest thanks to Director Sakai Munehisa, all the people that have been involved in this movie, and all the people that have come to watch this movie.
Also, this story will be Luffy’s final adventure as a 17 year old. Do keep coming to watch him.

However there are no obvious hints as to if the movie took place before or after the war or if the movie is a parallel universe or takes place somewhere in the actual story timeline.
Probably a little late with this post but yeah!
Doujin circle RubiconHearts has announced that outside of Comic Market, they currently do not have any plans to sell the “Kyoto, haru.” doujinshi on consignment through the existing doujinshi shops. But instead, they will be running a small shop to sell the doujinshi. The shop will be somewhere in Tokyo and will open about 2 to 3 times per month on the weekends.
The reason for this method of distribution that is different from the norm is that they feel that the distribution of doujinshi should also be independent, unlike normal book publications.
They wish to hand the book over to the readers directly by themselves instead of letting other people do it, as one of the fun parts of doujinshi events is that they can get to meet the readers directly. When selling through doujin shops on consignment, this fun is completely gone and the relationship with the readers is usually dull and lifeless.
Also the image above is where they’re doing the color proof for the book. Great backgrounds.
Video of the queue on day 1 outside a cinema in Shibuya which didn’t allow advance bookings.
According to eiga.com, the first day of One Piece Strong World has grossed an estimated 400 million yen already, apparently the speed at which this is going at is completely unheard of for Toei.
In comparison, the previous movie One Piece episode of Chopper was shown in 293 cinemas across Japan, and while the current movie One Piece Strong World is only screened in 188 cinemas, it is grossing approximately 417% as much as the first day of the previous movie already.
Toei’s highest record for the first day was previously Kamen Rider which was screened in 345 cinemas and grossed 247 million yen on the first day, and Toei’s highest total gross was Otoko tachi no yamato, which screened on 290 cinemas and grossed 170 million on the first day and recorded a total of 510 million yen.
Also One Piece vol.0 which was given out apparently only had the chapter that was on Jump, some sketches from Oda, some ads for toys, and a director interview. It’s now going for high prices on yahoo auctions, with the highest I saw ending at 16,000 yen (US$169).

Bakuman needs less love life and more manga life.
Seems like Irisu Syndrome sequel might be coming at Comiket. The author tetsu got accepted for winter Comic Market and he’s looking for somebody to do block and field graphics for the sequel. He originally commented that he’ll try to release it during summer (he made that comment in September).

Giant Killing is an awesome manga. But Kawase Toshifumi being in charge of series composition for the anime is not awesome.

Update: It has ended with 9,082,000 yen for the Stratocaster and 7,761,000 yen for the Telecaster
Type-moon’s Takeuchi Takashi will be pairing up with mangaka Kobayashi Jin (School Rumble, Natsu no arashi) to release a 36 page full colour A3 sized doujinshi under the doujin circle Rubicon Hearts for the coming Winter Comiket.
The title of the doujinshi will be called “Kyoto, haru.”, which basically means Spring in Kyoto. They have apparently also got a number of different artists to draw background scenary in the book, and the center page spread will be an A2 sized illustration.
Takeuchi’s comment:
I’ve always been thinking that I want to do original doujinshi once more again. But it has always been a kind of a “vague” feeling that always ended up “vaguely” unable to come into fruition.
“Lets go to Kyoto now! We will see the sakura and make the book!”
What broke my “vague” feeling was Kobayashi Jin’s great enthusiasm.
I thought that he would make some absurd suggestions, but at the same time I started getting more and more enthusiastic about the entire thing too. This was the same kind of feeling I constantly had 10 years ago. This feeling is probably the start where all my creative work came from.
I would be happy if this book can become a special part of somebody’s life out there.
Kobayashi’s comment:
“I want to do doujin!” I’ve always had that thought in my mind. To me, creative work outside of commercial business has been highly idealized in my mind.
To be in a hall with very little people, where people might not even be aware of your existence but parts of your book may remain in somebody’s consciousness. An extremely simple way of sending out information. Though it might not go the same way as I imagine it.
This time I’ll be with a great veteran Takeuchi-san. Even though I was nervous about this, I drew everything with some guidance from Takeuchi-san. Takeuchi-san is still as hot-blooded as always. I can’t hesitate! It’ll be a waste of myself!
