FIRST ANNIVERSARY!

So I bet none of you remember, but today is VnD's FIRST ANNIVERSARY!

*crickets chirp*

Damn it all. Anyway, for the occasion, we're releasing chapter 4 of Doushiyoumo nai Karedo along with all the end-volume extras. We also have a Innocence, 53-page doujinshi for all of you out there who a) played Tales of the Abyss and b) like JadexPeony. Yes, all five of you. It's mostly Jade-centric, though, so take a look.

Also, an excerpt from our fascinating msn convos to convince you to join us:

Nyang says: say something witty for the release update
Michi says: something witty
Michi says: o.o
Nuu says: when you pull my finger, you will hear a tuba
Michi says: BWAHAHAHA
Michi says: ok, here: I had a BLAST (lying) editing this for the anniv. I did it wholeheartedly (lying) and no one threatened me into finish it (lying). I hope you enjoy, and thanks for staying so long with us (not lying).
Nuu says: I scanned this book. I personally think JP queen is a rip off, but it was the only store that had this doujin, which I really liked. I think that 11:00 PM is the perfect time to drink coffee, and Sheik kept telling Link to go to Brokeback Mountain with him.

...I think I need a drink. Thanks, Michi. Typesetting 53 pages in 2 days was a blast for me, too. Fuck, I think this update is long enough for only two releases, so thanks a lot to all our staff for sticking with us, and please e-mail us if any of you out there are interested in joining.

Congratulations and many happy returns of the day.

Thanks muchly (mmm freshly slaughtered English, sooo delicious for breakfast) for the releases, and the continued efforts on behalf of the various fan-bases.

I admit I love the smell of good coffee, but it always tastes like charred hell to me, so I don't actually drink it.
Did I remember to thank whoever was flashing the carrot and wielding the stick over Michi to get out Doushiyoumo? Everyone needs a little motivation sometimes, even for their funfun hobbies. Yeah, uhm, fun.

Hey, but you've got an anniversary, so it's a legitimate excuse for cake. Even better if you can get (read con) someone else to make or buy it for you! 10 points!
Cheers

Very late in coming but better late than never, eh?

Happy anniversary to everyone @ VnD. Here's wishing you a fulfilling year ahead and I hope to be doing this again next year (tho in a more timely manner this time, hopefully).
