1) I didn't give any websites. Just name and it looks like I had misspeled them too..

2) Dissagree, there are a lot of doujin that are nor hentai and do have some kind of story.
This one seems to be like manga only with shorter stories and a bit more fanservice.

Doujinshi is a self-published work, mostly (though not always) created by amateurs.

K-ON anthologies are published by the same publishing house (Houbunsha) as K-ON itself and most of the mangaka participating in them are professionals who publish their work in Houbunsha's magazines, so these anthologies are NOT doijinshi. Just saying...

kitten320 · 2010-05-05, 12:18

So they are not fully canon and also not fully fan created? First time stumble on something like this... thanks for info^^

Vexx · 2010-05-05, 12:34

Yes, anthologies are not doujinshi (I have several anthologies for Lucky*Star, Spice&Wolf, Shuffle!). They give a flair for the same story setting as done by other artists and can be quite entertaining.

Sorry for not clarifying what anthologies were rather than focusing on the doujinshi part.

As for naming the sites, that's why I suggested being careful rather than just reporting it. The mods are pretty strict about even public hints of locations to protect the Animesuki's owner's liability.

Also, both anthologies ends with a page by Kakifly, saying basically "I'm very grateful that a bunch of artists are interested enough in my characters to write stories of their own. Thanks a lot"

K-ON would be considered H-manga if they are fully canon! Just look at how the artists portray Mugi......

Ithekro · 2010-05-05, 14:48

It isn't that far off the canon interpretation of Mugi either.

Under the pens of those artists, Mugi just got a little creepier. Especially the part where Ritsu throws the harmonica into Yui's mouth (indirect kiss!) and Mugi's risque interpretation of Ritsu throwing a "baseball" Yui at Mio.

If it wasn't for ratings......I would like to see Kakifly do up Mugi a little more.

Ithekro · 2010-05-05, 14:56

Those must have been in the second anthology, as I've not seen those yet...though Mugi's take on finger licking (to heal a cut) did fall in that area.

It never ceases to amaze me how our ojou's brain functions as compared to the other girls.

Ah, that one was when Ritsu didn't get cake, right? Cause she keeps being a foil for the yuri. XD I mean, Mio purposely made herself bleed! =)) And then Ritsu...

"...so what?" Totally killed Mugi's hopes.

Nope, those are from Minna De Untan mini anthology, the very first one that came out last year.

What part of K-On is licensed is difficult to understand?

Quote:

1) Pointing out websites that offer licensed material is a no-no. That site seems to wait for a C&D before taking licensed material down. K-On! has been licensed by Yen Press and goes on sale this fall.

The next time I find people requesting or mentioning where to find chapters illegally I won't just be deleting posts.

TakuanInc. · 2010-05-23, 16:53

Gahhh, I'm terribly slow. K-On is licensed? @_@ I honestly had no idea.

Sorry about that...>_>

Vexx · 2010-05-23, 18:06

Somewhat in poster's defense ... the mods should probably put a "Licensed" sticky thread up on the K-On subforum page explaining the manga is licensed. Its been talked about extensively but is buried in the long threads at this point.

Yen Press -> http://yenpress.us/k-on-by-kakifly/

**Klashikari** · 2010-05-23, 18:23

A sticky thread might be overkill, considering people would generally jump on the gun and believe it is the anime media that got the treatment.
I've added the little License sign. And if necessary, we might change title of the manga thread.

Vexx · 2010-05-23, 18:49

yeah, thats a much better idea

.... scratch my suggestion.

Yeah, that's definitely pretty good. I wonder what the gap between volume 2 and 3 will be like. Not going to bother with wondering about 3 and 4, since I'm not sure if they've got enough chapters out to make a volume 4.
