Hello Everyone!
We are happy to be back online! We have been working on revamping the site and structure, and the backbone of this work is in good shape! We have prepared the following:
1) New Members Only section
We have digitized and cataloged 40 years of vintage magical girl manga series materials. This contains a fully searchable library by author, magazine name, and manga series name. We are really proud of this addition as it has taken over a decade of research and data management to create, not to mention the logistics of sourcing and shipping (and paying!) for the original prints. This and much more can be accessed via the members only portal for a donation towards server costs of $5/month. You will be able to sign up directly through the website and cancel your membership at any time. Our existing Patreon members may also enroll free of cost. Details for Patreon members will be posted there shortly. Additionally, some free memberships are available for those who are working in a research capacity and who are facing economic hardship. Please email Dan at [email protected] for details of how to subscribe if this is your situation.
2) Improvements to filtering, sorting, and searching across the site have been added. Both raw and translated doujinshi have had their landing portal pages upgraded, as has our translated lyrics landing page. Other sections are in progress, please keep an eye here for updates.
3) Site navigation and landing page has been simplified for ease of access. Some minor graphic design changes have been made throughout the site to improve compatibility with mobile devices
A special thank you to ShiningVenus for her help in testing these new things for us!
Thank you all for your patience and kind words of encouragement as we worked to make this new content available. See you soon!
