Until I get my copy of this Asuka issue, please bear with this puny pic lol

Yes! DNAngel is finally on the roll again, after years of hiatus! 8D This is one HUGE celebratory comeback, hence we have a 123-page worth of DNAngel manga goodness for its latest installment. But wait there’s more~! The latest Asuka magazine also came with an Illustrations book containing 20 yummy Yukiru Sugisaki DNAngel illustrations, for its furoku freebie! So yeah, I am sold~~~ I now had this delivered to my officemate who’ll be coming back by the end of February

I’ve been eagerly awaiting this comeback, after Hinano (scroll down to the end of the post xD) mentioned it in brief, about a month ago. Now the wait is over~!

BARA–BARANSUUU, the DBZ-esque Fusion

BEWARE of SPOILERRS.

I have been a regular lurker in the Shugo Chara 2ch thread(s) as of late, looking forward to spoilers regarding chapter 23 (which came out in Nakayoshi’s December issue, released last November 2) because chapter 22 was such a cliffhanger… and I’m dying to know what happens to Daiya >__<''' Sadly, the Shugo Chara manga community in 2ch isn't as active as those with other mangas, where people post spoilers of the latest chapters, even before the actual release of the manga phonebook where it's serialized ^^;;

My lurking efforts, however, did not go unrewarded, because someone graciously posted... two "shots" of pages from Chapter 23, showing us some new Shugo Chara moves, with one oddly similar to the DBZ Fusion Dance o__O

My bunny ears just caught a sizzling news… that is, Special A is going to be anime-ted!! I am not kidding. It’s announced in Hana to Yume, where it’s serialized. I’m especially delighted by this news, being a fan of the manga myself. Although I somewhat stopped following it months ago. Now that it’ll be given life as an anime, I guess it only means one thing… I have to catch up on reading it again! o__o

The air date of the anime is yet to be announced, but still… this is certainly something to look forward to! Brace yourselves for the latest buzz on this news, particularly the probable seiyuu casting and staff for the anime.

Last time on Part I of this post, we saw the works of different mangakas take on Dragon Ball. For fun, I thought that I would showcase the original work of the mangakas alongside with their Dragon Ball tribute images.
I will show the Dragon Ball tribute piece of each mangaka first followed by their own [...]

Hinode gave me a link to this nifty site called Daizenshuu EX, where there are scans of Dragon Ball artworks by other famous mangakas. Mangakas of Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach, just to name a few, paid homage to Akira Toriyama by giving their own interpretation of Dragon Ball.
