First off, I apologize for the long (and unannounced) hiatus.
Secondly, there has been a bit going on for Nakamura Asumiko. Aside from her one-shot for Poco-Poco (Adorute to Adarute), she was recently in a set of 10 video clips on the site! I haven’t finished watching it yet, but seeing her at work coloring a manga (with just a mouse!) is enough to make me happy. You can also hear her voice! If that’s not incentive enough to get you to have a look, then hopefully the fact that it’s another manga for Poco-Poco (titled 「王と側近」(“Ou to Sokkin”/”King and Close Associate”)) will.
For those who have been waiting a long time, Nakamura-sensei’s “Graduation Album” fanbook IS. ON. SALE! I stumbled upon it while browsing Kinokuniya eleven days ago. If you’re in the US and you want this, you’d better get it while you can–as of this time it is still IN STOCK in the Los Angeles branch, so make your order now. The price tag may be a little hefty ($44.50), but it is well worth the price. Aside from being just a fan of Nakamura, one of the main reasons why I jumped on this was because part of the proceeds go to the Japan Disaster Relief Fund. I placed my order two weeks ago when it was on special order status, and I should be receiving it this week.
Expect a couple photos of the fanbook!
