Photo Kano (フォトカノ)

[Kirito]

Haven't been here in awhile so I definitely missed alot. Love Album with Hikari gets 7 long chapters? Wow that's so sudden. Is her route in the game really short? Any way looking forward to the baseball girl's route since I don't see much of her due to Haruka, Hikari, Mai, and Muroto seem to get more screen time.

Now I'm off to find the 7 chapters of Love Album.

[bakAnki]

Your Eyes Only ch 17 is out~!!

Spoiler for YEO ch 17:

The part two of their date.

Mai doesn't want their date to end, and she's thinking to hold Maeda's hand longer. Maeda asks her if she still has time, which she has, so then he holds Mai's hand to go somewhere else. They go through narrow alley since it's a shortcut. Suddenly Mai feels her skirt is lifted and Maeda gets close to her and hold her. She thinks Maeda is "attacking" her and tells him to stop... Because it's embarassing to do it there, and because she doesn't feel ready yet



Turns out Maeda is just removing Mai's skirt which get stuck on a pole. Mai then says sorry to Maeda for the misunderstanding while Maeda doesn't get why. They then go out from the alley, and the first thing Mai sees is the buildings around them, which is love hotel. Maeda says let's go, and Mai, shakingly, says yes. Mai, while still holding Maeda's hand, thinks while it's normal for boys to think that lecherous stuff, but she still hesitates since they haven't kissed yet. After walks for awhile, Maeda then asks Mai to close her eyes. Mai does so, and lean her body to Maeda, prepared to be kiss. It's been awhile but Maeda hasn't kissed her yet, and Mai already imagines thing, like they're inside love hotel's room and she already strips. In the real world, Maeda finally says something, he asks Mai to hold something for him and put it on her mouth. Mai feels something round-shaped and warm thing, and she then puts it on her mouth...



... It's actually a soft korone (the sea shell-ish, spiral-shaped bun stuffed with cream)! Maeda thinks since Mai is failed on her gymnastic club test, so she can loosen up her strict diet for a little bit and eat something sweet once in a while. Mai likes the soft korone very much, and she offers Maeda to eat it together. They then part away, Mai asks Maeda to bring her on a date again sometime.

tl;dr = Mai is in the mood



And finally gets to read the Your Eyes Only SP3, which to my surprise is an original story. Kanon is very cute here. I already wrote the summary on my blog, so I just link it there
http://bakanki.blogspot.com/2013/01/...nly-sp-03.html




I also wrote a summary of Misumi Tomoe route. I don't really like the type, but her story on my personal opinion is enjoyable, and there isn't manga adaptation cover her route, so I want to spread the love :3

Now I'm off to find the 7 chapters of Love Album.

Hikari route's length is about the same as everyone else. The manga just use the most essential parts and add some original, though not important part. Like at the first when Maeda is tricked to sign the form to join Photography Club instead Photo Club, or when on the date Maeda and Hikari met Kanon and Mai.

It's been awhile since I replayed her route, though

[Kirito]

Just say the raws from the 17 chapter of YEO and it was weird to see constant panty shots since the Kaichou - Muroto seems to be giving the bigger dose of it. None the less it was a really cute chapter and based off your summary Mai is pretty naive and innocent, which adds to the charm of her character. I really enjoyed it and thanks for the summary to add to more depth on clarification on the chapter.

And finally gets to read the Your Eyes Only SP3, which to my surprise is an original story. Kanon is very cute here. I already wrote the summary on my blog, so I just link it there

Just read the summary and quite a cute chapter. I was hoping for wincest but since it's based off a love simulation of course that won't happen.

Anyway, to me it seems after reading the chapter that Kanon definitely felt lonely and wants to be with her brother more. I don't know much about the games honestly but those are the impressions I get when I read the past chapters in recent months. Can't wait to see more chapters of her. Unlike susceptible routes that are opened to do a life changing choice, is hers too special that you don't need a certain condition to unlock? Like a secret route of sorts or do you have go through specific routes to get to her?

I also wrote a summary of Misumi Tomoe route. I don't really like the type, but her story on my personal opinion is enjoyable, and there isn't manga adaptation cover her route, so I want to spread the love :3

I thought she was a senpai heroine... weird.

Hikari route's length is about the same as everyone else. The manga just use the most essential parts and add some original, though not important part. Like at the first when Maeda is tricked to sign the form to join Photography Club instead Photo Club, or when on the date Maeda and Hikari met Kanon and Mai.

It's been awhile since I replayed her route, though

I see. I thought that some routes will be longer or shorter than other due to the nature of the route and how each heroine interactions with the mc differently. I played a few visual novels myself and some routes took longer to complete than others due to story and the broadening character interactions and branching opportunities. I guess the game doesn't have much branching opportunities for heroines. If I'm not please correct me on this.

Once again thanks for the summaries. I wish they would do a Rina manga focus. I think she's my favourite next to the "accidental" panty flashing kaichou. So to speak!

[Marina2]

Of all adpations, I like "Sweet snap" by Yuzuki N' the most due to its awesome artwork and one-girls-focused story.

The second will be Your eyes only ( I can find only online reading no downloadble translated ch.)

The third is Love album.

[LeaD36]

oh ye the girls are hot, the plot is subpar in most cases though
Yuzuki N (i presume it's a circle) do alot of H-manga too

[bakAnki]

Found these arts. Two Nylon's art of Haruka for Young Animal Island, N''s art of Mai, and cover of Photo Kano Happy Album with Hikari and Uchida...

Yep, Mai is the naive, innocent kouhai type. She gets kiss scene sooner than any other girls on her Story L route. And she's the one initiating the kiss, not Maeda

Kanon IS one of the secret heroine. She will be available on the new game after you get at least one ending for each 7 heroines (Momoko-sensei is the last to be unlocked).

I can spoil her story for you, and it's going to be major spoiler so open at your own risk ^^

Spoiler for Kanon route from the PSP game:

Spoiler for Major spoiler here, don't tell me I don't warn you:

Spoiler for Last warning! Open at your own risk:

She is not blood-related with Maeda!

It's only revealed on her route. Maeda's mother and Kanon's father married when they were still kids. Before they knew/met each other, on the day where their parents just about to tell them their marriage plan, Kanon was lost. She was searching for his father on the beach. Maeda saw her and helped her search her father while comforting her. Both of their parent then found them and surprised to see this miracle. They then tell Kanon and Maeda that the four of them will become family, and Maeda will be Kanon's older brother. Both of them remember this event and their status, it's just Maeda didn't know Kanon remembers.

And you are true that Kanon wants Maeda's attention and, in a way, lonely. When Kanon starts growing up, Maeda stopped praising her cute. Kanon on the other hand often teases and gets clingy to Maeda even in school to make him says it, making him uncomfortable and thinking about Kanon more and more, while Kanon's reason when Maeda shrugs her off was they are siblings so it's okay for being close.

At the beginning of her route, Kanon asked Maeda to take her picture as a practice for her to become idol and Maeda told her to pose like a girl in love. Doesn't know what to do, Kanon asked Maeda for an advice and Maeda told Kanon to think about a guy she has crush on. It worked, Kanon made a pose and saying, ambiguously, "I like you."

Long story short, in the end of her route, Kanon wrote a letter and give it to Maeda, but she told Maeda not to open it before both of them graduated from high school. Kanon then made a pose and expression Maeda remembers well, the pose when he told her to think about a guy she has crush with. Maeda then asked Kanon if she meant him when she said 'i like you' back then, Kanon answered yes. Maeda chuckled, and told her that he doesn't have to wait until they graduate since he already know her feeling she wrote on the letter. Kanon just realized it and she got flustered, and Maeda finally said a line Kanon never heard for long time, saying that Kanon is cute.

Maeda said it's because it's kinda weird for grown-up older brother to say her little sister is cute, but now he has realized his feeling, saying Kanon is the cutest girl in the world. Kanon said she likes Maeda again, hugs him and they kissed.

BUT! Unlike on the other heroine route, Maeda never explicitly said he likes Kanon and asks her to be his girlfriend. Even on the epilogue, it's remain hanging whether after that they officially become a couple or not. This is Kanon's narration on her epilogue scene:

Do you believe... In fate?

Do you believe... In destiny?

I... Always believe.

My fate with you. My bond with you.

You, who found me alone and lost in the beach.

You, who think of me as your real little sister and always take care of me.

By the time those feelings have changed into love, under the castle of star, we met once again.

The warmth of your hand told me, that love... Is destined.

I was born... To meet you.

Onii~~chan..... Onii-chan..... Niiyan..... You (she refers him with "anata" the whole time on this epilogue)

I will give you, aaa~ll of my feelings.

That's why... I want you to accept it all.

The little sister me... The girl who loves you me...

One day... We will be together...

I believe... In that time.

I believe... In our destiny

After that, at the final scene, Kanon is trying to wake Maeda up so they can go to school together. Hopping to his bed and sit on him, since he still doesn't wake up, she "threats" she will give him a wake up kiss.

This is why I'm really looking forward to her after-story on Photo Kano Kiss game, to see what comes next for them, though probably I can't play it since I don't own PSVita T___T

The only heroine older than Maeda (by their grade, not birthday) is Aki/the kaichou.
Oh, and obviously Momoko-sensei XD

Speaking of Momoko, I'm planning to write summary of her route. Hopefully I can get it done by next week ^^

Once again thanks for the summaries. I wish they would do a Rina manga focus. I think she's my favourite next to the "accidental" panty flashing kaichou. So to speak!

I have also only played few VN and love sim, but I think there's difference between them. Photo Kano seems falls more into love sim genre.

It doesn't have common route, only some prologues. Each girls have main story event, but to see it you have to raise their affection into certain level through the talking segment or the sub event, or else the story won't progress. You can always stop going to one girl route in half way, change to another's, and if you're get bored you can change it again or go back to the first girl. Even if you already maxed the affection of one girl and complete all of their story (minus the ending and epilogue, of course), before the deadline ends you can go raising another girl's affection and see their story.

Case in point, Your Eyes Only. Few first chapters were rotating between Haruka, Mai, and Aki. Chapter 7 to 11 focused solely on Aki story, and then we get back to Mai story for chapter 12 onward.

And IIRC, the number of the main and sub events are roughly the same for everyone (secret heroines have less though, since they only have 1 story no matter which club Maeda chose) with the total time spent is also almost the same. So no one is too long or too short.

Hopefully the upcoming anime will get omnibus format so everyone, including Rina, can get good exposure of their story ^^

For me, I like Nylon's art better than N'. And I like both Mai and Aki H story better than Haruka L story, I enjoy Your Eyes Only more than Sweet Snap ^^

Isn't that the deal with love sims? The plot tends to be not original or mind blowing, since what the genre sells is the girls (character design, personality, and voice actress behind) and their interaction with us player ^^

AFAIK, N' is the name one person, not the circle. And N' is a she.

[bakAnki]

Your Eyes Only chapter 18 is out

Spoiler for Your Eyes Only ch 18:

Preparation for the school festival, the students are wearing the long-sleeved uniform now, seems like to promote the upcoming Photo Kano Kiss game, haha.

Mai and Kanon are talking while helping their class preparation, Kanon says that usually there is this miracle during this preparation where boys and girls gets closer while doing their job. They then heard the sound of Kitagawa-sensei's scolding one of Photography Club's member, the low-angle Nakagawa, whom was trying to take picture of Mai and Kanon's pants

Mai then remembers something and excuses Kanon to go somewhere for awhile. She wants to return the ero book Maeda has. I think I didn't write the summary for the early chapter when this is happen, but Nakagawa lent Maeda his sport-themed ero book because Maeda has the job to cover the Gymanstic Club, so Maeda, as newbie photographer, can learn one or two things about (erotic)sport photography better even though Maeda didn't want to have that book. Then when Maeda about to put that book on the locker, he bumped with Mai and she saw that book, thus confiscated it. Mai read that book on her home though, learning some sexy pose and it frustrated her because the models on that book were all adult and have.... adult body.

Anyway back to current story, Mai is on the second year's building now. Her mood is suddenly down when Mai sees Maeda is walking with Nonoka, helping her. Mai remembers Kanon word just awhile ago about boys and girls get closer while doing school festival preparation, plus she sees Nonoka's body (especially her breast) are more developed than her. She then awkwardly return the book to Maeda and excuse herself from he and Nonoka. Nonoka realizes she is the third wheel and supports Maeda to chase after Mai.



Mai runs and hide to the gym, but Maeda manages to find her. Maeda then tells he wants to take Mai picture for the Photography Club but Mai, still feeling down, says she is not that charming. Maeda says for him Mai is the one girl on the school and she looks the cutest just the way she is. Mai then gets cheerful again, thanking Maeda, and then jump to hug him.



Mai is on top of Maeda now, they are about to kiss when they heard Kitagawa-sensei's voice checking for someone on the gym. Mai tells Maeda to hide under the mat, but the mat can't cover Maeda completely as his head is still visible. Since there's no time left Mai sits on Maeda's head to hide him when Kitagawa-sensei checking the gym. After convinces Kitagawa-sensei that she's alone, the teacher left so Maeda can breath once more. They then goes outside but turn out Kitagawa-sensei is still out there because she is still suspicious. Doesn't have any excuse, Maeda then tells Mai to run from Kitagawa-sensei.

For the most part, aside from the returning the book, it's original story. Bad news is, the author will take a break for 2 edition so the next chapter will be released on March 22nd
On the PSP game, Mai gets to return the book, and she actually covered the book so it looks like it's a student text book. When Maeda check the book, there was a letter for him, it said, "Maeda-senpai, even though you're ecchi but I really like you. From Mai."


And I managed to get Photo Kano Sweet Snap ch 14, or SP chapter, I don't know the numbering since it's not about Haruka anymore.

Spoiler for Sweet Snap ch SP:

It's the story about other member of Photo Club, Narita Ruu and Katsumi! This story also exist on the PSP game where you can access it if you visit the club room often and don't do anything on weekend. It's focused on both Ruu and Katsumi, but if you don't maxed any girl until the deadline, you can get Ruu end.

Ruu always consider Maeda a third wheel for her..... 'love' with Katsumi (she calls Maeda "Ojama mushi", roughly "hindering bug"). Ruu is a member of Volley Club but she joins Photo Club after Katsumi left Volley Club due to her injury and then founded Photo Club, so she can still be together with Katsumi. Ruu always dream to play volley in the same field with Katsumi, but Katsumi won't rejoin the Volley Club again even though she already healed. One day Maeda then gets an idea for Ruu so she can play with Katsumi, which is beach volley. But even after he and Ruu corners her, Katsumi still doesn't want to play volley anymore. Day later Maeda meets Ruu who about to leave the club because she doesn't have any reason anymore if Katsumi won't play volley again. Turns out Katsumi is also there and now she agrees to form beach volley team with Ruu, with a condition Ruu has to prepare herself because Katsumi is aiming for olympic champion, thus the team "Beach Flash" has formed.

On Katsumi's first return and their first tourney, they lost on the second round but they don't feel depressed since their objective is only for field test. Katsumi then phones someone. Ruu tells Maeda the person is Katsumi's senpai she probably likes. That guy is the one supporting Katsumi when she is injured and teach her about camera, thus making Katsumi develops interest on camera and found Photo Club. Maeda says to Ruu it's bad because her love is unrequited, but Ruu says it's fine because it's enough for her just to be able to stand side-by-side with Katsumi.

Later, Maeda shows the picture he took when Ruu and Katsumi had their first match. Ruu then turns dere and thanking Maeda for all he did to help her able to play volley with Katsumi. Ruu then kisses Maeda's cheek and telling him to keep become her important senpai.



Since I haven't read ch 13, I don't know if this the continuation of Haruka arc (since Ruu only kiss his cheek, not enough to NTR Haruka XD) or the story resets from some point of the main story. On the PSP game though, in the end Ruu also asks Maeda to go home together and says, "When people sees us, they will probably think we are a lover" while winking.

The second volume of Sweet Snap tankoubon is slated for Feb 27th, and Sweet Snap is still ongoing! But who the next heroine is still keep as a secret, boo! XD
These are bonus you can get if you preorder the second volume, depending which site:




Lastly, I wrote another summary last week. It's Ohtani Momoko route, the intern teacher. One of my favorite route, it feels special compared to other route :3
http://bakanki.blogspot.com/2013/01/...e-summary.html

[Kirito]

Sorry for the late reply, bakAnki. Had multiple things that were distracting me and now that it's over, I can give you my thoughts on the summaries and info on what you've shared here. So here we go.

Ahem:

Mai is quite something... her naivety and her confidence (regarding her own body) make her an interesting heroine to keep learning about. I found it really funny that she learned those sexy poses, but felt inadequate because of her lack of "features" if you know what I mean. So they switched into their winter uniform, nice. I look forward to seeing how the festival will take shape and I hope we'll see Aki again. Not enough shimapan flashing as of late, but Mai is really cute so I'll let it slide since the two of them are getting even more closer.

Since I haven't read ch 13, I don't know if this the continuation of Haruka arc (since Ruu only kiss his cheek, not enough to NTR Haruka XD) or the story resets from some point of the main story. On the PSP game though, in the end Ruu also asks Maeda to go home together and says, "When people sees us, they will probably think we are a lover" while winking.

Yeah, I'm really confused at that since after looking at the 14th chapter raw Haruka just vanished into thin air. It seems to be a route reset or just a couple chapters with said heroine not going to be featured during those times. Granted we still haven't seen the 13th chapter yet so we can't really say much at this time. None the less great chapter since it's been awhile since we've even seen Kasumi in any SS chapters as of late.

Spoiler for Thoughts on the Kanon Route:

In some odd way I was sort of expecting that since most visual novels with multiple heroines seems to go that route to add more flairs for the dramatic to the expected shock value. Unless if they covered it well and made it less obvious for the player/reader then all the power to them. So are Maeda and Kanon's parent's divorced or the each respective spouse pass away? Either way it's really interesting to see Kanon get a romance arc for herself since like I said previously, she wants to be with her brother, and can be really clingy and bratty at times because of those said features. Never knew she can be quite the tease since she seems eagerly willing to do sexy poses for her onii-chan... that's saying something...

WHAT?!! After they hugged and kissed it's not clear whether or not they became boyfriend and girlfriend. I don't know if that's a tease for a patch or update or the creators were/are trolling the imouto lover fans. Seems like a troll to me.

Yeah, I can see many people will be fan of her when the anime airs. She's adorable <3
By the way, Tomokazu Sugita likes Mai the best too based on his two tweets here and here He referred to Ika Musume's voice actress, Hisako Kanemoto who also voices Mai on his second tweet above.

Spoiler for answering:

I kinda forget about Maeda's real father, but Kanon's real mother has passed away. It's actually one of the important part of her route. Back when she and Maeda still a kid, they came to the beach with their parents (after they became family) and Kanon built sand castle, she named it the castle of star where she believed she will reunite with her real mother who lives in star. Years later on the date event, Maeda and Kanon came to the beach together and she built the same sand castle again, it made Maeda knows that Kanon remembers the whole time that they aren't blood related. Kanon doesn't remember how her real mother looks like though, but later Maeda gives her a photo album from the time when her real mother is still alive.


And yeah, I believe they haven't officially become a couple since only Kanon revealing her feelings to Maeda, while Maeda only said Kanon is the cutest girl for him in the world. Well, you can say that it's his indirect confession since he wants to respect Kanon's wish to open her love letter that contained Kanon's true feeling (even though Maeda already know) after they both graduated from high school. Maybe in the new epilogue of the Photo Kano Kiss game we can get clearer conclusion of their relationship

By the way, today (Feb 12th) is the birthday of Sanehara Hikari. Happy birthday, Sanehara :3

Cover art for tankoubon Memorial Pictures vol 2 and Happy Album vol 1 are out :3



I found a RAW for Sweet Snap ch 15 too :3

Spoiler for Sweet Snap ch 15:

As I posted above, it's Yunoki Rina arc starting on this chapter. But unlike Haruka arc, turns out on this arc Maeda chose to join Photography Club so this goes to story H just like the two first chapters of Your Eyes Only SP. N' used different scenes so it's not the same as YEO SP. We get to see cameo of Muroto Aki too.

Out of topic, related to the upcoming game, the preview for three campaign DLC suits pre-order bonus are out.

And to make it worse, PrettyAnon's Wordpress blog is taken down for good, though I don't know if the group itself is still active on other site >,<


But here's a little something to make up for that. Got these from Twitter of someone who attend to Photo Kano anime event held today where there's also manga signing event.

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

And by the way, today (March 17th) is also birthday of Narita Ruu :3

[bakAnki]

So, Prettyanon finally releases the last chapter of Haruka arc on Sweet Snap
Pretty cliche, huh? Though I like the last couple of pages seeing Haruka that cheerful. But still, to think the anime most probably will also adapt this one, albeit adding some story from other heroines in-between, I kinda disappointed. Hope the anime will go to story H instead with MC joins Photography Club, for Haruka arc the story H version is overall more interesting for me



And get early RAW of chapter 19 of Your Eyes Only :3

Spoiler for YEO ch 19:

Yet another original story. Maeda is going around the school with Mai on school festival. This page is sooo adorable <3



They then go to haunted house attraction. Mai is weak against that kind of stuff but she's happy because she can get close to Maeda, holding his arm inside. On the middle way, the crew starts to bring out the scary stuff with konyaku. The konyaku falls and slip down to Mai's uniform, all the way to her skirt, she asks Maeda to get it for her, making the crews of the house jealous, including Kudou (Photography Club's leader). Just when Kudou about to take picture of Mai whose still in panic, Maeda covers for her and they both run away.



After that they go to the rooftop, talking for awhile and Mai kisses Maeda's cheek. After that they part way for awhile to go to their own club and promise to meet them again later. Seeing Mai off, Maeda says to himself that he will finally tell her his feeling next time.

So I read the RAW of Sweet Snap ch 16, or chapter 2 of Yunoki Rina arc...

Spoiler for summary for Sweet Snap ch 16/Yunoki Rina ch 2:

First part is when Maeda's walking in the hall, thinking he's in awkward state with Rina after he accidentally touch (more like grope :heh) her breast. He then hears a piano sound from the music room. When he's about to get inside, the door is open and there's Rina. Altough a little bit awkward they talk, Rina tells Maeda that she likes to do other things outside cooking, like playing piano, flower arrangement, dance, and yoga. Maeda tells her that he was into other things before photography now, which were dart, billyard, and guitar. Rina lit up when hear guitar because she thinks it's amazing and she wants to hear Maeda plays. Rina also says she wants to try dart and billyard because she thinks it's adult-like and cool, making Maeda feels happy because that was the reason he was into that, so girls think he's cool Maeda then says he will happily accompany Rina and after that they partway, Maeda then thinks he will show that cool side of him, with exception of guitar since he couldn't really play it well



Next part, Maeda meets Nonoka who's.... playing with Rina and he overhears Rina's size Nonoka said. He almost make Nonoka spills her size too but Rina stops her



After Nonoka and Rina left, Maeda notices that Uchida Yuuko, the only girl on Photography Club, is there all the time, taking delicious pictures of the previous two girls. When Maeda asks Yuuko why she's taking a picture of girls, Yuuko says she and the rest of Photography Club's members like to take picture that make their heart's beating, and she says that should be the same in Maeda's case too.



Last part, Maeda is walking to the Home Education room because he smells something delicious, but inside there's Rina with her face is all red and she's acting weird. Turn out she is drunk because she is cooking meat with red wine and it was her first time. Maeda takes picture of her and it makes his heart beats fast. Maeda then offers to take her to infirmary. After Rina is sober, she embarrassedly apologize to Maeda for the trouble she made and how she acted. Maeda then says to himself that he wants to take more pictures of Rina.

Along with that ch 16, May edition of Dengeki Maoh also includes two chapters from Dengeki Comic Anthology Kiss manga, which is the Hisasi and Kishinosato Satoshi ones!

Spoiler for anthology:

The first one is Hisasi, all the girls are in high level of affection, starting with Nonoka who jumped towards Maeda who just finish drink, followed by Haruka who wants her picture taken by Maeda. Haruka poses like she wants to be kissed, and just when Maeda about to kiss her, Kanon, who was hiding, yells to stop them, saying she's the one who can only kiss Maeda since she's already kiss him for good night and wake up call. It makes Nonoka and Haruka shocked (the latter is look more disgusted XD) while Maeda who didn't know Kanon did that try to calm her down ask if it's true Turns out Hikari, Aki, and Mai also heard that. Aki and Mai chased Maeda while there's also Tomoe who silently grabbed Maeda's can and drink it for indirect kiss When still on the run, there's wind blow and Rina's skirt is lifted making Maeda take her picture out of 'shutter chance' reflect making him finally caught by Haruka and Nonoka. But when he's down, in his front there's Momoko's crouching to find something she dropped and her position make Maeda able to see her panties clearly



The second short manga is when Maeda blackmail Aki to take pictures of her and Hikari saw them. Hikari then scares Aki out and when Maeda thought it's the end for him, Hikari who is on maxed affection on this manga tells Maeda that he should ask for her instead since she doesn't mind for Maeda to take her picture. And when Maeda took Hikari's picture from low angle, Hikari takes her shoes and then....................

And there's these bonus from second volume of Your Eyes Only tankoubon and teaser for SP 4 chapter :3

Still looking for the RAW from Young Animal Island vol 22 >,<

[bakAnki]

RAW of YEO ch 20 is out...

Spoiler for summary of YEO ch 20:

Maeda still hasn't submit his photo for Photography Club's show case, and he's accompanying Mai to her Gymanstic Club's show performance. Mai is nervous seeing a lot of people come to watch but after Maeda talks with her and helps with her stretching, she's fine and perform well while Maeda takes her pictures.



At the end of the day, after school festival is about to over, Mai comes to Photography Club to see the photo Maeda submits and Maeda himself has been waiting for her. Maeda shows him the picture, and he then confesses to Mai and she accepts his feeling as Mai also likes him. And after that, they kiss.



Maeda then says to Mai that she's beautiful (he usually says she's cute, and one of the reason she's dieting and was feeling down before was because she doesn't have confidence that she's beautiful like the rest of the Gymnastic Club's members). And the photo Maeda submitted? It's obviously Mai photo...

The last page still say it's continuing to the next issue and no information it's the end of Mai arc yet, so I think it's safe to assume we'll get after-confession story next chapter. Hoping for story from PK Kiss not only the epilogue from the original game

[bakAnki]

RAW of Your Eyes Only ch 21 is out

Spoiler for YEO ch 21:

After confession story and an original one, not the epilogue scene from the PSP game.

It was New Year, Kazuya is on his apartment and then a guest is coming. It was Mai, wearing a yukata.



They decides to go to the shrine for praying later, waiting for Kanon, so Kazuya brings sweet sake for drink. Mai likes it very much. They then playing karuta to kill some time. Mai wins the first turn, drawing a moustache on Kazuya's face but after that Kazuya wins the next turn. He says he'll draw the punishment on Mai later until the whole game end so they continue to play. But Kazuya always win until the game end so her punishment is stacked. On her mind, Mai is thinking Kazuya will draw her punishment all over her body



Kazuya doesn't have the heart to draw the punishment on Mai, making Mai happy, she then hug and push him over, smiling and squeezing Kazuya's cheek against her. Kazuya think Mai's being weird and he sees both his and Mai's cup. Turns out since it's so delicious for her, Mai even drinks Kazuya's sweet sake. Kazuya asks her if Mai is weak against sake (even the light, sweet sake) but Mai is offended because Kazuya is still seeing her like a child. She then hugs Kazuya, saying she is already an adult and she's waiting for Kazuya to "take her into the unknown world". But short later she's feeling unwell so she excuses herself to the toilet D:



They then go to the shrine with Kanon. Kanon says her praying loudly, Kazuya and Mai says that the prayer shouldn't be said loudly like that so Kanon goes back to a do over. Mai then asks what Kazuya prayed for, and he says he wished they won't be separated from now on, and Mai says she wished for the same thing.

This manga is still continue despite all the things happened (even this current chapter's title, "Kore kara mo" ("From now on") is screaming last chapter all over it), by the way.



Oh yeah, I also wrote the short summary of all route on the game if anyone interested...

Sweet Snap ch 17, the third chapter of Yunoki Rina is out =D

Spoiler for summary:

Without any club activity since nobody still wants to join her Cooking Club, Rina is practicing bending a spoon. She is surprised Kazuya sees her doing something funny like that.

Rina tells Kazuya about the club condition of the club, also Rina's attempt to submit pictures of her cooking with her phone to the academy's website. Kazuya then offers her his help to take more professional-like pictures of her cooking with his DSLR camera, but he requires time to do some research for food photography, so for now to kill time Kazuya asks Rina to go to the dart cafe since before Rina said she wanted to try playing dart and billiard. On the dart cafe, Kazuya asks Rina to call him "Darts Master" instead when she calls him master.

When he teaches Rina, he sees a red mole on Rina's chest. Rina says Kazuya is the first boy to notice that and asks him not to tell anybody about it. Rina manages to hit the center on her first try and after that she's also trying to play billiard. Kazuya asks her to call him "Nine Breaker" at that point, by the way.

After finish playing, Rina says she still wants to go somewhere with Kazuya, that is his room. So even though Kanon and his parents aren't home yet, but since it's Rina the one asked him, Kazuya then takes Rina to his house. There, Rina says she wants Kazuya to do something for him, that is playing his guitar. Kazuya who rarely play his guitar anymore trying to avoid it and playing dumb that he is promised Rina to play if he had the chance. Rina insists, she even sulking on his bed and say she won't go home if he doesn't play it. Kazuya says it's fine for him if Rina stays at his room forever but after a cold stare from her he gives up and plays his guitar for Rina.

The song he's playing is his original love song titled "Love Love True Love".

Kanon arrives. Hearing Kazuya plays his guitar after a long time, she immediately goes to Kazuya's room and wants to sing along with Rina too. So then the three of them sing Kazuya's song. Oh by the way, the song is included on Photo Kano Original Soundtrack CD, there's two version of the song, one sung by Asuka Ougame (Rina's seiyuu) alone and another where she sang it with Mariya Ise (Kanon's seiyuu).

On the weekend, for his research to take good food photography, Kazuya goes to book store. There, he finds Uchida Yuuko who's reading a cosplay book. He reads the same page Uchida read, about a famous cosplayer named "Alice", but when he about to asks Uchida if she likes cosplay, Uchida already gone silently with her stealth.

The June issue of Dengeki Maoh also release another chapter from the Photo Kano Dengeki Comic Anthology Kiss, it's Nonoka chapter :3

Spoiler for summary:

Nonoka wants to go home together with Kazuya, but he says he wants to go home alone by himself. Nonoka thinks he's going on a date with Haruka so she follows him, but turns out Kazuya is only going to book store. She confronts him, and Kazuya says it's because he's going to check if he wins a photography contest on a magazine and he lose. Nonoka then asks him to do another special training like they did (referencing the story from Nonoka route), but this time it's photography special training. Kazuya then takes pictures of Nonoka as the model, including two-shot with Nonoka kissing Kazuya's cheek. After he posts his new submission for the contest, Kazuya just realized he submitted a wrong picture, he sent his two-shot picture with Nonoka.

Oh, speaking of Nonoka, the chapter 2 of Love Album is available to read on the usual site
