lots of eroge news [edit] and a new Hazuki Kaoru book

SCOOP OF THE DAY: Hazuki Kaoru has a new book out today! With any luck it will eventually show up here, so please support this fine artist if you are able. Browsing his site this evening I noticed that while he doesn’t post anything to his own oekaki board, he does appear to reply to all of the images posted there, no matter how crappy. What a stand-up fellow.
