I always find it fascinating what a wide range of subject matter ends up being rendered as doujin art. And while art based on games isn’t unexpected, the huge quantity of doujin work based on the Touhou Project (AKA Project Shrine Maiden) is surprising. The Touhou Project is a scrolling shooter game, notable for the sheer insanity of the number of projectiles flying around. The developers, Team Shanghai Alice also put alot of effort into creating personalities for their tiny pixellated girl characters that are dodging those bullets.  This particular image is of Aya Shameimaru, a camera wielding newspaper reporter for the shooter girls. She uses her camera as her weapon and defense. Moetron has a write-up with screenshots. I don’t think I could handle it.

Yotsuba&! is a really fun manga that follows the day to day antics of a young, carefree girl named Yotsuba. The mood of the manga is very sweet, with Yotsuba providing all sorts of entertainment varying from innocent goof-ups to outrageously small ‘big adventures’. And this vibe is captured in a most wonderful fashion by the Kuricorder Pops Orchestra (responsible for the Azumanga music) - where they present a day with Yotsuba in musical form. It’s so much fun to listen to the album, reading the track names such as “Making Breakfast” and seeing in your mind what Yotsuba would be up to! Download it here. Curious about the manga? Read it here.

I was having some issues with Nextgen Gallery, which is the gallery plugin I use for Wordpress.  It wasn’t letting me add any images, which is why I haven’t posted anything lately.  After upgrading WP to 2.5 and getting the latest plugin, all is well, and loads of fun, cute, orz images will be heading your way shortly! Artist / Series Unknown for the image of the girls freaking out at the computer

The girlies from Lucky Star always seem to be having the most fun!  Perhaps there are other anime in which the main cast are more playful, but Konachan, Kagami, Tsukasa and Miyuki are always up to joyful shenanigans! But fun or no, they probably have a 90min limit to eat those yummy treats!
