We had nothing to do with this one, check it out deux:

I don't know how regular a 'feature' this will be, I'm reading far too little dirty mangoes these days due to all the editing. This one, and another I'm thinking of, I read years ago but I find myself coming back to them instead of the new stuff. I suck.

'Witchcraft' by Yamatogawa, YQII there can handle the crediting. I love this story. Kinda weird, bit of an adventure. Don't want to give too much away, but I suppose you could assume it involves witchcraft of some kind. Great characters. There's Kagami Kyoko, the cool fortune-teller. Her rival Saionji Sara (Sara Saionji? I dunno lol) who's got 'really pretty eyes'. Then there's Miki Megumi, idol schoolgirl with an inexplicable crush on the protagonist that's quite explicable. Less important's the guy, who's a bit of your typical 'mobile harem generator', and the villain who is not very appealing after her first appearance (that's a double entendre but not a hot one). There's stuff in there I'm really not a fan of, but the awesome completely overpowers it. There's a lot of rape in there, sometimes with neither party's consent. It's not unpleasant, they're enjoying themselves. There's even an apparent attempted murder-by-hypno-rape, but that's of questionable plausibility and intent. She gets in in the end, and I mean that in the best/filthiest/light-heartedest way possible. When the loli showed up, I knew she was growing a dick at some point. First page she's on, I knew. Then she's parading around with her clit-dick flopping about for several chapters; reading the story as it first came out this went on for months. Eventually, the day is saved with the power of love/telepathic one-man orgy, so that's a pretty good ending yeah.

As for what version to read, there's debate. And it seems Vaizard is working on decensoring this tankobon version, as well as darkening Sara's skin. I've already read the magazine scans, and censoring doesn't bother me so much, so the one posted on YQII's site's good for me for now.


Yamatogawa is, in general, pretty fucking great.
Tayu Tayu's a very close second; has a nice 'sisters' theme going on. Even a (too) brief bit of twincest by necessity. Yes. Looking just at the subject matters, I should prefer this to Witchcraft. May be that Witchcraft just got to me first.
Aqua Bless, an anthology, has the rare distinction of your being able to buy it, all uncensored and Englished and on paper. Crazy surreal, but easily worth your money if you've read this far.
Taihen Yoku Dekimashita?, another anthology, I've still not read the whole thing : | . I almost edited a chapter of this Uglicus had translated, but it turns out YQII had just translated it and Vaizard was already in the process of re-editing and decensored the entirety of the book (which is done now, see link). What I have read was pretty good, though there are a few pages of smoking and that's just profoundly unappealing to me for personal reasons...


Power Play is the latest. The prologue's a bit... weird, though the following two chapters were gold. Features your favourite Witchcraft character, if she's    Sara   , playing a sparrow for some reason. A very sexy sparrow, if I may say so myself. Chapter one, after the prologue, contains the most adorable rape ever.
Only the three chapters so far, but I got high hopes.

In summation, yay for Yamatogawa.
