I was not telling them where to download them, I was preferring that they would buy them. I would like the mangaka to get the money rather than just illegally download.

wow, I can see promoting mangaka is not allowed here. I do what I do for the sake of the artists, producers and creative minds out there who work hard and are passionate about what they do, I am not advertising myself.

Earth Quake near Tokyo

I just heard from Imai Kami, and he was warning the people on his site, I hope his is okay, the after shocks can sometimes be worse than the actual quake. I will be praying for everyone, I feel for the people who died and were injured. I hope to God they are okay.

So please I ask of you to pray for them

Earthquakes are a habit in Japan, and unless the magnitude is over 7 it hardly results in collateral damage.

And also, goddamnit, I thought there was an important announcement. Will keep waiting till "Needless 2" gets announced.

I hope it's nothing serious.

Hey, the least you could do is show a little concern! Imai Kami-san is trying.

If you are talking about the pink haired girl on the front of the Art Book, that is the main character for Summon! Swordsman School. she is was first in a 4-koma about the series now it is a manga series published by EnterBrain, in the ARCADIA gaming magazine.

haven't checked on needless for a long time now.
So where are we now? what chapter and what has happened?
My last read was Blade thinking Cruz was a loli.

NEEDLESS ended back around July of 2013. I will not spoil anything, but NEEDLESS is up and readable still on MangaHere, also I suggest reading Shirasunamura if you want as whell.

I received the Imai Kami artbook (今井神ビジュアルコレクション　ニライカナイ) and Black Spot doujinshis yesterday.

The Imai Kami artbook is like most artbooks and features a number of his better works throughout the years. The bulk of the artbook are his works from the Arcadia magazine where he's done quick, little comics and other color works. As you might imagine from the context of the magazine that most of the works are video game/arcade game/etc related and that the comics are similar in humor (and ecchiness) to Needless. For someone who's very unfamiliar with his work from Arcadia, it was nice to get a couple hundred new comics as new content.

As for the Needless and Shirasunamura content, there's nothing new that isn't available in the volumes or from specials in the mangazines or on his website. For someone like me, there was no new content. But for someone who's only read the manga online, there's probably quite a bit of new images since most of the special stuff from the volumes and specials don't make it online. I only noticed one redraw among the Needless images and it was only because I noticed Setsuna's hair was shorter (compare her early manga hair style to later manga hair style). I'll probably go back and look at the other pictures in detail later, but nothing apparent to me.

The Black Spot doujinshis were fascinating to look at and right away, you can tell that Needless is heavily derived from Black Spot. I have trouble appreciating that the two are canon because of how many similarities and parallels there are between the two with many scenes being essentially the same. The story seems to be more developed than Needless, especially toward the end, leading to reinforce my impressions that Ultra Jump forced Kami to end Needless early which caused the manga to be rushed and sloppy in the final year. I'm not going to say much more on Black Spot (since I can't read it), but I will say it's a lot like Needless except much less comedy, much less ecchi and a lot more horror material.

If you're interested, the best piece of advice would be to order the visual collection from Japan, especially if you're a die-hard Kami fan.

The thing is huge, and very philosophical ideals what I have noticed a lot in Imai Kami's works. I may show a little as a promo. As far as the overall story, touching to me as always, almost scary to how it relates to something to my life.

Beautiful isn't it? I Enjoyed finally "reading" the rest of BLACK SPOT. Also I do wish ARCADIA was not so expensive to subscribe to, I'd be able to keep up on his new series.

Regardless, looking forward to much more from Imai Kami-san, and hope he posts more on his daily life, as far as video games or his little trips.
Thank you Everyone.

It's really quiet in here(not really a surprise!), but just in case there's still a few people around I'd like to mention Imai Kami's latest manga will be on sale in about two weeks according to amazon.co.jp

It might be nice to see what he's been up to ever since Needless 1 got finished. You can find the first chapter of this volume online, LEGALLY. I guess it's a marketing thing. I'm not sure if the admins like me linking to it so you'll have to find it yourself. It's called "召喚!! 剣豪学園 ".

Avvesione · 2015-02-10, 20:05

Yup, at Ynot mentioned, Imai Kami's work is his 4koma from ARCADIA magazine, and is being bundled and sold as a manga now. I'm not sure if it's finished or ongoing, but it's nice to see Kami is still alive after not really doing much for so long.

Attached are two images I could find for the manga.

Well, there's a Cruz and Mio expy. Also, the main male is Gido's expy?

Ynot · 2015-02-12, 09:27

Nice to see there's still some people around here

I looked around and found some links to prove my link to Kami's new manga is a legal website with the proper copyrights. So if you're an admin, hope this will be enough to convince you to not delete my links.

Article 1
Article 2

Now here's the link with the first two chapters of "召喚!! 剣豪学園".

And here's a small summary.

Spoiler for for fun!:

I wonder where this manga will be going, but for an introduction it's nice enough. Not nice enough for me to want to buy it yet but who knows maybe in the future. My prediction, the principal will turn out to be evil. Don't have any sort of proof, just a hunch
