Runthrough of Konami Collection

I'm procrastinating from doing work, so I thought I might as well be semi-productive and give a runthrough of what is on www.mediafire.com/konami as of writing this. I will note that these are my opinions, and if you disagree with the grades or notes I give a work, good for you!

Celtrance collection: A-
Almost all amazing. Great art and decent story telling (as far as doujinshi go). The only thing I don't like about what Celtrance has to offer is the short rape scene at the beginning of Ao Geki Murasaki Mamoru (without this, it would have scored an A+). Ao Sumire tells the story of how the girls come into the relation, and AGMM is a later story where they seem to not be concerned who knows of their relationship. All of these are adult!

Classmate Shock collection: B
Pretty solid. A three part series which is just a bit quirky at times. The first half and second half of these are to be viewed as separate instances (I think) so us who worked on it felt the side-stories unimportant enough to not scanlate the last one... Unlike Celtrance, the relationship is in full swing in the beginning and it deals more with how to go about carrying out their relationship. Can get close to adult!

Eunos collection: A
Fantastic. Good art, solid character portrails, comedic, pretty much the beacon to which others should emulate. The main KonaKaga story is quite long and tells a story of the progression. Unlike Classmate Shock — where the reluctance toward the relationship was through social stigma of lesbianism — the slow progression is driven by Kagami's tsundere personality. The other stories are side events that tell of events happening after they are already together. Again, unlike CC, everyone seems to be quite aware of their relationship, which is a nice thing to see. Can get close to adult!

Lucky Point collection: A-
Nice, basic story. Lucky Point starts out with the two main characters seemingly unaware of their mutual infatuation. Pretty early on into the second story (Summer) they seem to realize their feelings and end up with some hawt secks as a result. Autumn is about telling their friends about their relationship, and Winter is simply a story after everyone's okay with their relationship (Kagami seems to speak quite openly to Tsukasa about the hawt secks she and Konata have). Can get close to adult!

Tonaride Anthology: N/A
Only one thing translated, so I will reserve judgment until later. We do have a Eunos story to look forward to at this point, though.

100% D Drive Kagamin: A-
Well executed. Comedic, good art, a job well done. Konata realizes her feelings toward Kagami, and is left with some abnormal behaviors when a novel circumstance which threatens her feelings arises. Completely safe.

Cicada Drizzle: A-
Best of both world. Somewhat touching in the beginning, hawt secks at the end. This doujinshi holds a certain place in my heart as it is the first KonaKaga story I saw translated; even more so, I saw it the steps that went into the translating of it (as I've mentioned in a previous post). Adult!

Fuyu no Konata: B
Touching. This is one of those stories that makes you wonder why anyone would like Konata. I mean, if this was the way she regularly acted, I don't think I would want to make any type of lasting commitment with her... Anyway, a good story nonetheless. Completely safe.

Hoshi Koi: B-
As someone who likes to have story in my smut, the lack of one in this is a turn off to me. Art's decent (though a bit too loli-ish), though, and I enjoy the "combat edition" underwear, so I would give it a small recomendation. Adult!

Kagami no Ashi no Ura: D+
Can't say I enjoy this one. The art is decent at best, I don't enjoy piss in my porn, and Konata seemed to practically be raping Kagami. Overall, I'd say skip this one. Adult!

KonaxKaga Matome: B+
Screw canon. A nice story with an interesting art style. I really like the idea of turning a canonical situation that could be used against a KonaKaga pairing into a misunderstanding of Kagami's true feelings. Completely safe.

Lonely Kagamin~: C
I am no longer providing a source to download this. It's an okay story that I wouldn't highly recommend, but the main reason being the author's personal take down of their own work. It appears to me they do not wish it to be distributed, so I will abide by that decision of theirs. I'm sure simply having the name is enough for the resourceful to find this on their own. Adult!

Love Like Lucky: B-
Light shoujo ai. Konata pisses Kagami off, Kagami sulks for a bit, they end up making up. Simple and sweet, but not overly memorable. Completely safe.

Niwakaame: B-
If you're reading these in order, you may think LLL was pretty subtexty, this is even more so. A bit comedic at times, attempts to be touching almost all the time, and has a nice art style. This is another non-memorable piece that's simply a nice augmentation to one's shoujo ai and/or KonaKaga collection. Completely safe.

Okayu: KonaKaga C-; Yutaka x Minami B
This one comes in three parts. Part 1 and 3 are based around Konata and Kagami, part 2 is based around Yutaka and Minami. Part 2 I like quite a lot — a comedy through misunderstandings is great — but part 1 is ahoge rape and part 3 is body-transfer rape, so I can't say I enjoyed it too terribly. Safe for a while and one adult picture at the end!

Shino☆Hara: C
Meh. This comes out of a longer doujinshi, but the other parts aren't relevant to this blog. Lower rating comes from lack of story and pee ruins porn. Adult!

The Hiiragis: A-
Cute. That's pretty much the way to sum this up. Good art, short and simple, science babies; pretty much all you could want in something of this length. Completely safe.

Twin Coronet: A-
Very nice. Story is pretty good, Konata comes on to Kagami, but Kagami things her 'love' and Konata's 'love' are different so flees, and ends pretty close to some hawt secks. I like the story, and the art is pretty good, but the :3 smile of Konata's seems to have been glued on in this; her facial expression never changes! Still highly recommended. Gets close to adult!
