Happy New Year!

Well, as we go into 2007, I wanted to start-off by pointing out an upcoming release to those that may want to get a copy:


These are the covers of the first two issues of "Tatakae! Tarantella". The upcoming issue, #3, will feature some wrestling, based on these preview images.



I've gotten the first two issues from Amazon.jp.co, so, for those that don't have a Japanese bookstore nearby, that option does work; me, I'll start to get mine through my local source (saves on shipping). The story's first two issues introduce the characters, their dojo, and various fighting scenes (training, etc.) , although this next issue will be the first with in-ring wrestling.

Here's a link to Amazon, if anyone is interested:

Not that hard to sign-up for an account with them; I ran the necessary pages through WorldLingo and did fine ... you need to have a credit card and shipping address, of course.

Also, for those that missed it, Female Fight Fan added a new link awhile back that, after a lot of searching through the various options, got you to this:







The comic (8 pages) was scanned from a men's hentai mag, so at the end ... Below is a direct link to the pages.

    Owww I view your scans have a good level of wrestling, why put the hentai?.

    Me, I'd have stopped the scans at the end of the fight in the club, but the webmaster at the Japanese site scanned the whole thing; nothing I can do about that.

    I don't think that scene is needed for the story to be good, but again, that seems to be the way the writers/artists in Japan feel it needs to be done these days: this mag was aimed at the hentai reader, so they worked in hentai.
