I'm going to rip off our quick-links type of posts from Playkon (hmm, we really should get back to writing there again), and start collecting various anime / manga / whatever stories as "checkpoints". More or less like this...

- Kanojo x Kanojo x Kanojo eroge demo version up for download (288 MB), more mirrors here (try the right-side buttons). For an even quicker impression, you can see some NSFW screenshots, and a marginally safe for work wallpaper. (Update: I've been scrolling through the demo for well over an hour, and there's still no end in sight... But I'm starting to get hungry, from all these food and bento scenes. And various other things. Yummy!)

- On a side-note, eroge developer Windmill has released its CatSystem2 engine for making doujin games, free for personal use. Windmill's next title, Tsunaban - Love Mix is set for release on July 18.

- sola, Koi Kupid manga previews posted online in English by Broccoli Books. There are 9 pages from sola (Volume 1 coming this June), and 12 pages from Koi Cupid (Volume 1 released last month).

- Hanaharu Naruko (author of the Kamichu! manga), will release his first adult manga, "Shoujo Material" in May. Nice wanking material. And this one is also his, by the way. Win!

- Fate/Zero novels return in stores after four months of silence. The four volumes were originally released between December 2006 and December 2007, and their story takes place 10 years before Fate/Stay Night. Not that I care, really - I just like the covers.
