Planting Seeds

Three releases today! We’re picking up Pandora, a collection of quirky romantic oneshots. Lots more naked time than you usually see here at LSD, but all with Nemu Youko’s lovely art. Huggles to Jel and Narumi for taking up the project!

We also have another chapter of royal mischief in Echo Valley and more sibling rivalry in Flowers.

What Goes Around

It’s Neko Mix time!! The rather delayed final chapter to this story arc. Utterly wonderful. An action-packed tear-jerker with moments of absurd humor and adorable cats. Will everyone survive the Demon Castle? READ IT!...
