Lost and Found

A much more meaty Shirube chapter. This kind of lovely, almost poetic narration is more like Konno Kita’s typical fare. It’s actually my favorite of the three Shirube chapters we’re doing!

Had a bit of extra time on my hands, so I went hunting for new stuff and found six new potential projects. Also! Two authors already on our potentials page have recently completed interesting new works that would totally fit at LSD. But, we’re more likely to do their previous works than these new ones, so I’m not going to spam the potentials page with them. And yet! Links to information to spread the word:

Yamashita Tomoko: White Note Pad > strange (dark?) body-swap psychological supernatural josei (complete @ 2 vols)
Takahashi Tsutomu: Zankyou > dark mature (NSFW!!) psychological bloody action-ish seinen (complete @ 3 vols)

And without further ado… our new potentials. Remember you can vote for any of these on our main potentials page 🙂 Hoshi no Annainin and Haru to Bonkura are the first works of their respective authors, while Kottou Nekoya is also by an unscanlated author. And no, you aren’t seeing things: there’s a rom-com in there. I almost started it last year, when I really needed some levity after a string of strange/dark things. Even I have an emotional limit over typical LSD stuff 🙂
