Zero Sum color pages + Dolls 55

I scanned these from the last two issues of Zero Sum. 

These are from the 07 Ghost animation booklet that came with the September issue.

Other misc stuff from Sept and Oct issues.

Last but not least, I scanned Dolls c55 from Zero Sum Oct issue.  I had a friend check over the page order, and I got it right~ >:D

Zero sum Sept 2009 issue

I think this is my first issue of zero sum.  I was surprised at how thick it was, thicker than Lala and Asuka.  The best thing about it is, it’s jam packed with series that are full of bishies and eye candy XD  Anyway, I was planning on debinding the whole copy and scanning whatever I like best, but I got tired of tearing the pages out about half way through.

I scanned Karneval c24 and di[e]ce c28 a few minutes ago.  I’ll probably scan some other ones if I don’t see them floating around the internet yet.  Added Are you Alice? c03 and Shounen Hane Karyuudo c24.  Lots of bishies ?

== Download Karneval c24 == Japanese raw, ~1042 x 1518 px, 17.7MB

== Download -di[e]ce- c28 == Japanese raw, ~1046 x 1518 px, 11.6MB

== Download Are you Alice c03 == Japanese raw, ~1046 x 1516 px, 13.1MB

== Download Shounen Hane Karyuudo c24 == Japanese raw, ~1046 x 1516 px, 12.1MB

Two colors scans from zero sum.  Yeah, there are others.  I may scan them later.

Shoujo Planetarium

Why not do another artbook review while I’m at it?  Shoujo Planetarium is an illustration collection of Misakura Nankotsu.  This collection is a gorgeous 100 pages of color.  The illustrations are from PS2, PSP, PS3 games/magazines (?).  Every page is a color illustration that takes up most of the page and a short blurb at the bottom.  There is also a 18+ collection called Last Resort, which I didn’t get.

Price: 2800yen without tax

ISBN: 978-4-7577-5010-4

Without further ado, I present some of the gorgeous pages in this book~  Btw, if these seem brighter than the scans I submitted at animepaper, it’s because they are XD  These are raw scans straight from my scanner :D

Compilation artbooks

I recently bought about 6 compilation artbooks, and I really like them all.  I’m too lazy to talk about them all, so I’ll do one today.

Girls Girls Girls! 2 is a thick volume that collects lots of artworks from different artists.  The pages are thick :D  There’s a monochrome section in the back, taking about 1/4 of the volume or so.  The list price is 2667 yen without tax.

Here are the spread pages (12 at the front of the book) from the Girls Girls Girls! 2 book.  ISBN is on the back cover.

Pixiv Girls Collection scans

Since I already de-binded a copy and scanned this thick art compilation of pixiv artists, I figured I might as well share.  Lots of gorgeous art and styles I like.  Buy a copy to support your pixiv artists!  It’s well worth the money in my opinion.

== Download Part 1 == 300dpi, about 65mb, up to page 54

For some preview pics, see post below.

Pixiv Girls Collection

I got this one a couple of months ago when it came out.  Somehow, I ended up buying 3 copies x_x;;  Anyway, I really like this compilation of the pixiv artists.  Lots of styles that I like.  This is a large volume with over 150 pages, full color.  Pages are thick.  Here’s a taste of what’s inside.

Pandora Hearts Official Guide

My copy of Mine of Mine 8.5 came a while ago.  I just haven’t had the time to scan and edit anything until now (while I’m supposed to be studying for a huge exam).  Anyway, here’s the gallery that came with the guide.
