I've only found a few chapters of Bokura (ch. 1-4, 8, only 1 & 2 actually translated), and can't find Kaminoko anywhere. I thought I had downloaded it with a raw pack I found, but for some reason even though the cover scan has it listed the person who put the file together included all chapters but that one.
I have not found any scans for Tenshi no Itazura. Really stinks missing out on so much story, because what I've been able to understand so far has been pretty good, if a bit depressing.

Tenshi no Itazura is the last chapter in the Tenshi no Bokura tankoubon. It's story has no direct relation to Tenshi no Bokura and it actually takes place in a different time period.
And where did you find the second chapter of Bokura? Quote:
Kaijin Tenshi no Yakusoku (Angel's Promise) Tenshi no Sentaku (Angel's Choice) Kowareta Tenshi (Broken Angel) I don't know where Kaminoko fits in, as I've yet to track it down, but the chronology lists it as taking place in the same year as Kaijin. It has nothing to do with the storyline of Kaijin, though. There is one tankoubon of the original Blue Drop, which is a collection of these one-shots. There is currently only one tankoubon of Bokura, but it's still ongoing. There was a radio drama, but it appears to only be a retelling of the chapters contained in the original manga. |

Well, I haven't found it, either. The best I've found is the summary on the Blue Drop page on Lillilicious' site. It is "public," it just doesn't seem to exist on the internets.

I've just found chapters 8 and 9 of Tenshi no Bokura but haven't seen 7 yet. Ch9 is in the December issue of Champion RED.
I haven't found Kaminoko either. But I have seen ch2 of Tenshi no Itazura, which was in Champion RED Ichigo and is now around. Itazura is described as a "yuri spin-off" from Bokura, and is lighter in tone: an angel doing a little teasing/bulllying (itazura) of humans.

Mega bump!
Whoever scanlated chapter 3, thank you! Having just read it, things are a little clearer now. The no men thing was obvious but the motives behind Kotoko's actions are a little clearer (and eerily like Kezou's words in chapter 2). And um, some of the biological details about the Arume make more sense now too. It also explains the nosebleeds!

I've been looking for Kaminoko since I found out the manga existed, and it's just nowhere. I even e-mailed Lilillicious to see if they'd send it to me, but I never got a reply. Unfortunately, I'm expecting the DVD serialization to be even more difficult to track down
And yes, chapter 3 explains a lot if you pay attention (especially why I don't like Arume ), and chapter four gets into a lot more depth on the impact the aliens have had on human society. Hopefully that chapter won't be far behind this one |

Yeah I can see the connection now. Still, I don't think it's all that much of a stretch saying that humans have been guilty of the same type of behavior for much of our existence (forcing our ways of life on other cultures).
I can't say I dislike or even hate the Arume for what they did, but I sure as heck wouldn't want to be a man in that universe. From some of the spoilers I read, it seems the Arume found a way around that problem too!

And not all of them are like the two "ladies" featured in this chapter. Mariel ftw. |

And yeah these two struck me as bad examples of the race. I doubt all of them are as "sinister" but it does seem like most are extremely sexual. On the other hand, the whole idea of a special district where men are banned (and killed on sight if found) does fit with everything I've seen so far and certainly adds to the "Arume are not good people" theme. Meh, I guess I'm just torn. It's nice to see antagonists who don't fit into the generic bad guy category but the protagonists aren't exactly perfect either.

Without the element of sci-fi, you can't create a society where men are entirely unnecessary. The Arume's ability to breed within a single gender is what drives every point of social conflict in the story. It'll be very interesting if they ever lose this ability.
