DLsite Recommendations (how to buy)

- ウルフロード 牝狼野外発情 – Wolf Road: Female Wolf’s Outdoor Breeding Urge
Veteran doujin artist Haruki Genia (はるきゲにあ Harukigenia) a few months back released what was then one of the earliest and continues to be one of the best Spice and Wolf doujinshi on the market. It’s now available at DLsite in an enhanced digital version, in full color with “omake” illustrations not included in the original monochrome printed edition.
Having that printed edition in hand I can heartily recommend this to anyone who is capable of favorably entertaining the thoughts of “Horo” and “porn” simultaneously in their head. Not only is Haruki Genia’s rendition of the wolf-girl heroine one of the most erotic I’ve ever seen, this book is absent any of the harder fare for which the artist is (in)famous. It’s just straight-up hotness, and this digital version seems to do nothing but improve on a good thing.
A preview of the original black and white version can be found here (note that the page image is a collage, and the original isn’t nearly so cluttered). 20 pages + front and back covers and extra material.
Queen’s Gate Alice is already sold out … she’s not staying long on any website ! I still wait for HLJ
and Horo … love !
Damn, I’d love to get my hands on a copy of the Horo dojin. And it’s only 500 yen to boot.
I think the yujin link is broke looks like you add 1 to many http to it.

I think it’s an unconscious effort by Shingo to save us some money and shelf-space. Yujin’s stuff are never worth it – their prototypes may look great, but the end product is usually trashy.

Alice is released only in July 2008 – but I believe the pre-orders for most sites are closed. HLJ may be your only hope. Good luck.
HLJ is already taking preorders for Alice:

Haha, that’s great. While I have no prior knowledge regarding the quality of their stuff, I just unconsciously ignored the broken link.
It worked pretty well I’d say.

Thanks for pointing that out, the link has been fixed. ;;

They’ve already started (sort of). I’m joining you in the Kanokon-inspired refresh-fest, I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before they start pouring in.
Yeah, I got in on the HLJ listings for Alice and Melona. Was waiting for them for what seemed a decade! ^^
