We Are Finally Cowboys

I don't particularly enjoy saying this, but time really does fly.

Four months ago, Makoto Sanda brought us 創神と喪神のマギウス (Soushin to Soushin no Magius), which seemed like an unhealthy mix of Toaru Majutsu no Index and Persona with characters that looked like they could use a vacation in some Fate spin-offs. Now the second volume is upon us and I'm not too sure what to say. The development at the end of the volume was predictable yet somewhat unexpected for me. I might write something when I have the time, but for now please enjoy the pretty pictures.

The usual same face issues aside, I'm rather impressed with the quality of Tony's latest art book.

There is not a whole lot of new content in the book, but the excellent quality of the pictures more than makes up for it. Putting out everything in the book is a tall order that I just don't have the time or energy for, though I do believe there are smaller scans floating around that may require some searching. Nonetheless, enjoy the swimsuits and so on. Altina is still the cutest in my book.

Always the summers are slipping away.

Under Pressure

No one old and nothing new. Eyes closed and all of the rest will flow.

Three Minute Warning

Laying out this little section with some semblance of propriety always seems to be a tedious task.

Given how much time I waste on other activities these days, I wonder if I'd ever get around to actually the read the book, but here are the illustrations of 創神と喪神のマギウス, a new series by Makoto Sanda – probably best known for authoring Rental Magica, gamemastering Red Dragon and more recently, penning the Lord El-Melloi II Case Files. The illustrator Soga Makoto should be no stranger to those who are familiar with Fate-related works, though whether that is a good thing or not for this series is another story.

The curtains stay closed now.

Silent Fortissimo

The festive season is around the corner again.

Even now it still bemuses me how similar Kurehito's and Shinobu's styles are and, strangely enough, how I'm starting to like the latter's more. Enjoy the lovely illustrations of the second and last volume of 太陽のチャンネル, which seemed better composed than the first book, and Granblue Fantasy Graphic Archive that I had been meaning to put up for a long while.

A candle's a treat.
