This artist with a long name has opted for an even longer title on his C77 doujinshi release: Kurokami Shoujo to Wafuku ga Suki na Hito no Hon! which is still in stock months after the event on Toranoana. This wasn’t a stand out doujinshi for me. I was reminded of it when I noticed Tenmu Shinryuusai’s new COMIC1☆4 release.

Kurokami Shoujo… Hon! is a B5 sized, staple-bound doujinshi that feels strangely shorter than it actually is—20 pages including the covers. Like with Tenmu Shinryuusai’s previous doujinshi releases, there is a lot of text over the illustrations. It makes it feel more like a magazine than an illustration doujinshi.

Even still, the illustrations are vibrant and colorful, just not plentiful. Outside of E☆2 (Etsu) magazine I don’t see a lot of commercial work from Tenmu Shinryuusai. Following his doujinshi is a must for keeping tabs on this artist.

And as always, plenty of miko illustrations in this volume as well. Also included is an illustration that has become a figure, and another with the potential to be one.

Though it’s not really an exciting release, it’s solid and maintains the quality I expect from Tenmu Shinryuusai. Probably not something you’d go out of your way to get, but nice to have nonetheless.
