More pretty scans from this month's Afternoon are posted at the bottom of the page here. Scans from Chara-Mel volume 7 are posted here. Linking since I am too lazy to repeat-post them in this entry.

Also, in this month's chapter: Lind, Peorth, Chrono, Ere, and Ex are BIG DAMN HEROES. And Gate returns for a bratty cameo.

First! Part one of Kosuke Fujishima's new Mini-Goddess strip, which is being published on the spine of montly issues of Afternoon. In case you missed any of the previous panels, you can find them all linked here.

Second! More Chara-Mel Magazine. Here's Kannagi by Kosuke Fujishima:

If I understand correctly, that's not an outfit that she wears in either the manga or the upcoming anime series. Rather, it's a magical girl outfit that Fujishima designed himself. Why? Because he can.

PS - Any similarities to the legendary Tamil folk heroine Kannagi is purely coincidental. But boy did that throw me for a loop when I first heard of the Japanese Kannagi series.

Part three of Kosuke Fujishima's new Mini-Goddess strip, which is being published on the spine of montly issues of Afternoon. In case you missed any of the previous panels, you can find them all linked here.

Also, the third issue of Chara-Mel magazine, continuing the trend established by the previous two, features an illustration of an anime heroine drawn by Kosuke Fujishima. Here's Yoko:

Oh hey, Yoko. AKA The Reason that I Did Not Watch Gurren Lagann Until Somebody Forced Me To.

Hmm, Yoko looks a lot better than Fujishima's previous effort, but still not nearly as good as his amazing Saber portrait. Oh come, Fujishima, you can do better than this. Where's the crazy dynamic perspective that you like to use in your manga? Where's, I dunno, your knowledge of human anatomy? Yoko's legs look like perfectly cylindrical tree trunks! And why doesn't she have a stomach? You draw Belldandy with a nice stomach, so why not Yoko? Nice detail on the gun, though. I guess.

The sad thing is... In the same magazine, there's a painting of Yoko riding a motorcycle, by a different artist, that totally blows Fujishima's rendition of Yoko out of the water. And yet it's Fujishima's Yoko that gets featured on the cover of the magazine. Sigh.
