Hello all!

We're just about done the last chapter of V11, but to tide you over I thought I should release some images which it was silly of me not to have scanned earlier!!

Up until now I haven't scanned the colored covers of each volume, so here they are in one batch together.

Chapter 48 Release

2011-07-17T11:59:00.000-07:00

Hello again, here we are with another chapter~

It's especially fitting that this is a Miwako-centric chapter, as she is one of the main characters of the IS drama which is airing Monday July 18th in Japan~

IS: D-Addicts Drama Wiki Link

I really find this chapter touching, making one's way in the world is a great theme of this manga, isn't it? Enjoy the chapter~

Chapter 47 Release

2011-06-09T12:04:00.000-07:00

The team anticipates picking up speed with releases due to our excitement about the IS drama ^__^ Chapter 48 is also not too far away from completion <3 Partly due to a new team member, Brandon, helping out with the pre-cleaning and redraws.

This chapter is about Leon and Miwako. She's such a cute character, it's exciting that it seems like she'll be a main character in the drama.

News: IS [ai-esu] TV Drama July 2011

2011-05-24T13:22:00.000-07:00

Our team is reinvigorated by some super exciting news!

Starting this July, there will be an IS tv drama in Japan. The full title is 『IS～男でも女でもない性』 ("IS - the not-male, not-female life")

View this article (in Japanese) on the Oricon site; the top actress FUKUDA Saki is playing Haru, and the bottom actress GOURIKI Ayame is playing Miwako. Ibuki will be played by INOUE Masahiro.

It's being discussed as a double-female protagonist drama with Haru and Miwako as stars. So no telling what sort of take on the manga it will be, but I'm excited~

Here's the promo page at TV Tokyo.

Chapter 46 Release

2011-02-25T09:24:00.000-08:00

Team Dokukinoko has officially made it through 2 Volumes! It really is a shame our pace isn't quicker, so sorry! It's due to my (Koshi, the team organizer) hectic school/work life...!

A few people have approached us about helping out, but the team's still thinking about it. Coordinating more people might make the job a little more hefty, but we'll see.

Summer is on the horizon for me in just 35 days though! And from there, I'll definitely support the team more thoroughly and bring many more IS chapters forward!

Until then, please enjoy this first chapter of Volume 11, it's so inspiring and heartfelt~ (as usual)

Fwaaa! Sorry everyone, that there was incredible lag on this chapter! Fortunately Chapter 40 is well on its way to being completed, so expect that out in the not /too/ distant future.

Here we have it, Chapter 39, which focuses a little less on the main story in a chance to flesh out another character.

Hope this helps all those who haven't had a chance to read Volumes 1-8! Keep in mind that Haru's story begins after two side-stories also about intersexual people.

Chapter Summaries Anyone?

Also on that note, I was wondering if anyone who reads and loves IS [ai-esu] would be willing to write up some chapter summaries? I enjoy them to keep my head straight, ahha, though I don't have time to do so. Just 1 or 2 sentences on the topic of the chapter would be great! Any volunteers can post below and then get to it :3

Chapter 38 Release

2009-12-04T01:12:00.000-08:00

All four of us at Dokukinoko have been plucking away diligently! And now, it's our third chapter released together, and I finally got the blog looking tidier. It should be more useful too. I hope you enjoy this chapter!
