Sorry to post after myself, but here's the Vivi/Mr.9 doujin.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HETF7P8WAnyone want to translate? :3
Wow, what an adorable doujinshi! Thanks for uploading. I love this kinda book.
I didn't translate, exactly, but here's a summary with some lines:
! Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday first meet as partners. They are new members of Baroque Works.
! Mr. 9 paints the 9s on his cheek backwards, and Vivi laughs. She offers to draw it for him, but he turns her down.
When she sees the crown on the table, he explains that it's a fake, even though it's nice, and Vivi agrees that it's pretty.
Mr. 9 puts it on her and says "Here. You're a princess." She's shocked, while he thinks "Hm, did I say something bad…?" and says "Hey, baby? Miss Wednesday?"
She asks him "What would you do if I were really a princess?"
He answers, "If that's the case, I'll become a King!"
The dialogue here features a flashback combined with current speech.
In the flashback, ""That way, we'd be a "pair" again, right?"
She says, "No, it's not like that, Mr. 9.")
Current dialogue:
"Honestly... she really was a princess."
"I would happly chase after her, but..."
"I won't become a king, I'll become a prince!!" -
Thanks for the summary. ^^ I love Mr. 9, it's a shame he had such a small role.

Doujinshi are very legal - some are even copyrighted. Many manga artists practiced drawing doujinshi before they got popular.
Actually, from what I've been told by publishers and read in books and magazines, doujinshi are neither "legal" nor "illegal" – that is, they aren't fully embraced by the publishers of official manga, but they aren't fully condemned either. They aren't fully embraced because if a buyer only has enough money to buy one thing, he or she may spend the money on a doujin instead of on an officially licensed product. (This takes money away from the original manga, the original mangaka and the liscensees associated with the manga).
However, doujinshi aren't fully condemned either because they can often draw people into "official" fandom who wouldn't have become fans otherwise, and the people may then go on to buy lots of officially licensed stuff after purchasing that one doujinshi and getting interested in the manga that inspired it. (For instance, one fan may buy Sanami Matoh's "Roronoa Zoro Zoro" instead of volume 11 of Oda's manga -- yet another fan, after reading "Roronoa Zoro Zoro", may decide (s)he wants to know more about "One Piece" and will soon after purchase volume 11 of Oda's manga).
So it works both ways! And as long as it continues to do so, doujinshi will be tolerated and not condemned.
One of the ways that doujinshi artists stay on the good side of manga publishers is by keeping doujinshi "runs" small -- for instance, only 200 copies of a particular doujinshi title may be printed, and once it is sold out, it is sold out. That way, the doujinshi artist can say "I am not taking too many fans away from your series" because at the maximum, only 200 people have bought the doujinshi instead of buying the manga, and some of those people may go on to buy the manga too.
Publishers have also learned to apprectiate doujinshi artists because the artists already have experience with deadlines, printing procedures, distribution, marketing and etc, so there's a good pool of talent to draw from for filling official manga career positions. As someone mentioned previously on this thread, many of the current manga and anime superstars -- such as CLAMP -- were once doujinshi artists, who were later "discovered" by publishers of manga and given the opportunity to create their own official manga and anime instead of just re-imagining the plot of someone else's story.
It's a neat system, and uniquely Japanese, since the emphasis is on copying a master craftsman's drawings until you are good enough to invent your own. In that way it is a lot like the student-teacher bond that informs everything from martial arts to cooking in Japanese culture.
Sorry to post after myself, but here's the Vivi/Mr.9 doujin.
Thanks CosmicD! and thanks to Mearl Dox too – that was really sweet. Nice art as well. Oh,, I've seen another Vivi and Mr 9 somewhere too. I think it was in an anthology. I can't remember much about it, but I remember one lovely image of Vivi holding Mr 9's crown and crying because she would have to leave him behind when she went to Alabasta with the Mugiwara.
must ... find ... missing ... flash ... drive ...
:sad: -
Welcomes! ^^
I just got some cute stuff from Konchiku Show and one of my old favorites from HE doujinshi, Kei Katakura. Katakura's stuff always has brilliant art and printing/binding quality. It really is professional work. She's also hilarious…
As for Konchiku Show, it was a set of two Sanji-based books. There were some SanUsopp hints, but mostly it seems to be gen, so maybe I'll scan some sometime. Tragically, the Katakura is not gen at all, though it does feature a new excuse--apparently Zoro tastes like tobacco.
-
Can anyone recommend a site where I can download ZoroxSanji/SanjixZoro doujinshi? I don't mind hardcore yaoi but I suppose the tamer they are, the better. XD Thanks!
-
apparently Zoro tastes like tobacco.
scratches head
Huh? That's a new one!
Well, if he does taste like tobacco, it's only because Sanji is always blowing smoke in his direction (or at least in the doujinshi by T Chaser and Hachimaru he is!).
Hey, Pirateneko, I found another Tsukudani Z&S cover on YahooJapan that I think you'd like! This is an anthology – I'm not sure if Tsukudani's art appears inside as well:
http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h42347486a site where I can download ZoroxSanji/SanjixZoro doujinshi?
Dizzy is good for that, because they are very clear about the explicitness of the content before you download, so that you don't have to take your chances. They also have a wide range of the "major players" in the ZxS scene: including two of Matoh's volumes, Love Potion #9, Nijigumo, Techniques, etc.
But, if I give you this link, you must promise me that you will at least try to eventually buy one of the doujinshi that these scans were taken from. The artists get very upset if hundreds of people trade the free scans but none of them purchase the doujinshi. (Since these books are often self-published, the artists are already losing money on them as it is).
Thanks for considering.

http://dizzy.dhak.net/Thanks! I'll surely buy one when I can fully understand Japanese. That way I can appreciate it more. I just want to see how ZoroxSanji doujinshi are like. ^_^
-
Can someone find ZoroxNami doujinshi for me? I haven't got a chance to look over this whole thread and I'd appreciate it if someone finds links.
-
Asking for people to search for you is rude.
Have you ever tried looking yourself? -
Ying Yang, I agree with CosmicD – it's unfair to assume that we have more free time than you do, or that your time is more valuable than ours is. Please don't make a request until you've put some effort into finding the thing first. Thanks!
Now, about Zoro and Nami :
If you type "ZoroxNami" or "ZxN" into the AP search engine, you can find everything that's been written about this pairing before, including links, websites, etc.
I also recommend checking Ebay -- try typing "One Piece Doujinshi Nami Zoro" in the Ebay search engine. Several sellers on Ebay (Cherden, SamuraiCar, etc) specialize in ZoroxNami stories and always have a few stocked in their Ebay stores. Here are two of many examples:
You didn't specify which kind of ZxN doujinshi you prefer, and there are many different kinds:
If you want romantic, non-H stories of this pairing, I recommend two circles : Hide and Seek and Watermelon … If you want Hentai, then go to just about any doujinshi download site and you'll find piles of it. (There's no shortage of that pairing in "H" land!) ... If you want friendly, funny, non-explicit stories with only hints of romance, I highly recommend Itsumi. Itsumi's art is very similar to Oda's, too.

http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h42347486Eeee that's so cute~!! I love it! I'd buy that doujin if only for just the cover, but the scarves make me think of Harry Potter lol!
and Zoro tastes like tobacco eh…?
its probably because he makes out with Sanji too much -
Can someone find ZoroxNami doujinshi for me? I haven't got a chance to look over this whole thread and I'd appreciate it if someone finds links.
You'd have to be a blind, dumb, incompetant fool to NOT be able to find it, its everywhere, like the plague!
-
Eeee that's so cute~!! I love it! I'd buy that doujin if only for just the cover, but the scarves make me think of Harry Potter lol!
Some artists do Harry Potter doujins as well as OP doujins, so perhaps Tsukudani does too and got her lines crossed momentarily! hahah! Unfortunately, I haven't seen this volume for sale (the owners are probably keeping theirs for the cover too!) but if it did show up, the most likely place would be JPQueen – or ShopIshiIshiIshi (on Ebay). If you do find it, please PM me about what the "special secret" was. (I noticed that phrase on the back cover and now I'm curious!) It's probably just a poster, but with such creative doujinshi artists, you never know.
My favorite "special secret" was the paper doll of Zoro that appeared underneath the cover of the "Pirates of Grandeur" #4 Zoro Special anthology : the artist basically took every yaoi cliche for Zoro and parodied it via costume : so the Zoro doll could be dressed up as a rebellious schoolboy or as a sexy tiger, or as a bride, or as an S/M butch , or as a wandering samurai, or even as his crew-mates (like in the body-switching doujins). Paperdoll Zoro's acccessories included all of his swords, a bottle of booze, a pint-sized kid version of himself, a pair of serious-looking "salaryman" glasses, the Jaya octopus (my personal favorite) and the Skypiea goggles. :)
Oh, for the CP9 fans -- a few more doujins of W7/EL have shown up on Ebay -- they're yaoi though:
LuccixPaulie (I like the cover of this one especially!)

Very sweet! And the cover is one of my all-time favorite anthology covers by Saruya Hachi. There's also a neat picture of Robin and Chopper on the back, also done by Hachi.

-

The famous what story?
Lucci looks really hot in the LxP doujin. ^^ too bad I don't like LxP
-
The famous what story?
Oh! Sorry to confuse you, Cosmic! "NP;NG" is the name of the circle, not the doujinshi. The doujinshi that the exerpt comes from is called "Kira Kira". the cover shows Usopp and Kaya sitting on a blanket. The doujin is "famous" in the sense that it's a well-loved rarity : a romantic, het, Usopp doujin. Usopp carries Kaya away from her house for an evening, and she gives him a bandana/scarf as a parting gift. Later, when the bandana/scarf appears in the background of Luffy's bounty poster, it reminds Usopp of both his fondness for Kaya and his dream of becoming a brave warrior of the sea.
It's a beautiful, gentle story, and NP;NG draw Usopp in a slightly more "bishie" way than most circles do.
NP;NG are also famous for their Sanji&Nami stories. Again, sweet and romantic, but not explicit.
Hope that helps!

Aww that sounds so cool~ I want a Zoro paper doll lol!
but OMG those W7/CP9 doujins look HOT!! I love the style in both of them <3
And ooh I've always wanted to read a good UsoKa doujin~! -
Yeah, I have in fact read that UsoKa doujin. I think you have seen it too, neko. If not, it's on funkyfunkyusopp's site.
-
Looking for some UsoNa doujins, hentai or non-h. Any reccomendations? Sites?
-
Have you seen any before at all?
-
Nope. It's hard to come by any non-hentai doujins that aren't yaoi.
-
You haven't seen any hentai ones before either?
Non-hentai is pretty rare. I did just get one, but it's not a romantic one really. -
I hope you weren't planning on buying it. I'd like to know what's going on in the dialogue though.
=p Nah, I wasn't really. I'm still really pissed that I didn't get that one Usopp doujin though. >__<
-
Ah, you might find it again. From what dinty said, it may not have been all it's cracked up to be.
I'll be scanning the one I got soon thoughwhen I get off my lazy butt and stop watching Naruto fansubs.Hopefully someone can give a little summery, it's all dialogue and I have no clue what they're talking about. I have a feeling they're talking about Kaya again.
-
Looking for some UsoNa doujins, hentai or non-h. Any reccomendations? Sites?
Uh, I think this question was already brought up a few pages ago. My answer then would have been the same as now : I only know of one place to get UsoNami : Cosmic's thread! ;)
I know there are many people out there who are eager to find this rarest of pairings, so trust me, when I actually find some, I will put it in 28 point bold underlined bright red font on this very thread. But until then, the UsoNami fans will just have to keep on making their own doujins.
Necessity is the mother of invention!
I'm still really pissed that I didn't get that one Usopp doujin though. >__<
Which one was that, Taboo? If you let me know, I might be able to find a source for you (can't promise it though).
From what dinty said, it may not have been all it's cracked up to be.
Oh, now I'm really curious as to which one it was! :)
-
I think she's talking about the "Let's Go Luffy Pirates" one, with the really cute Usopp on the cover. Someone posted the cover here at some point.
-
Yeah, I have in fact read that UsoKa doujin. I think you have seen it too, neko. If not, it's on funkyfunkyusopp's site.
Oooh that one~! I don't know if I got to read it, I think the link was broken or it just wasn't there anymore O.o; But I remember there being like 2 or 3 in FFU's site
-
I think she's talking about the "Let's Go Luffy Pirates" one, with the really cute Usopp on the cover. Someone posted the cover here at some point.
Oh, that's Mearl Dox and Taz then!
They were the ones who'd actually seen/owned the doujinshi. I'd only seen a small (maybe 4 pages max) exerpt of it in an anthology.
Well, I'll keep my eyes open for it, and if I see it for sale or auction somewheer, I'll let you know.
-
Has anyone heard of the doujin "As long as I stay by your side"? It's a story where Zoro suspects one of the crew members of being a duck.
-
I think I remember hearing about it once or twice before like, on this thread actually.
-
Found it on this website, though the download seems to broken. Anyone think they can help?
-
Anyone think they can help?
Rootbeer, I guess it depends on the kind of help you want. :)
For instance, I can tell you which Saruya Hachi doujinshi the story came from, and which volume of the Hachimaru AP Best Of it appears in too. I can also hook you up with some auction links for it eventually – but, unfortunately, I can't provide you with scans or translations of it (and I have no idea why that link is busted).
Would any of the above information be helpful to you? If so, just let me know and I'll dig it up when I get home from work tonight.
It's fun story -- very imaginative! And as always, Saruya Hachi's art is nearly identical to Oda's.
-
I just buy a ZxS doujin. Is very cute and very well draw, in Oda's style. A friend of mine see the new Coby`s look and shout "Luffy's bride!!" XDDDD I dont see any doujin of these two yet, and my friend is driving me crazy, she wants pics. Of what? I say.
But the new Coby looks so good. -

That would be nice.
a(and I have no idea why that link is busted).
That was what I was alluding for in my post. I was hopinig it was just something wrong with my laptop, as it usually is with most broken links I click on, and that someone else could download and upload it through some site like yousendit.com.
Would any of the above information be helpful to you? If so, just let me know and I'll dig it up when I get home from work tonight.
Thanks, dinty. I'd appreciate that.

So i remember seeing a doujin or two where the strawhats were kids. Do any of you have these? Cause they seemed interesting.
UNLESS its shota or loli.
-
So i remember seeing a doujin or two where the strawhats were kids. Do any of you have these? Cause they seemed interesting.
Bob, there are loads of these – mostly in the Z&S category, by authors like Kioks, Techniques and Nijigumo. Usually they aren't nasty (most involve chance meetings between the two where one does something funny or nice to the other, and then all those years later they reminisce and say "that was you?!?"). If you want to avoid shota, then run screaming from stories involving little kid Sanji and big old scary pirate Zeff. (Not all Zeff and Sanji stories are like that, but for some reason that pairing gets more shota than most.
A friend of mine see the new Coby`s look and shout "Luffy's bride!!" XDDDD I dont see any doujin of these two yet, and my friend is driving me crazy
sara_t –
It's too early for Luffy&Coby(v2.0) doujinshi. It's only been one month since the "new and improved" Coby appeared in Oda's manga, and that wouldn't give a doujinshi artist enough time to draw a story, publish it and distribute it. However, you might find some fan art on websites. Try typing "Coby and Luffy" into a search engine and see what happens! If you don't find anything, then tell your friend to sharpen her pencil and draw some! (And then post it in a thread on the AP creativity forum, naturally)Thanks, dinty. I'd appreciate that
You're welcome! "So Long As I Stay by Your Side" is basically Saruya Hachi's response to Oda's SBS comment that "Sanji resembles a duck"!
Here's a quick synopsis: Luffy chases a stray duck around the deck of Merry Go, with the intent of catching it and eating it. Usopp tries to protect the duck from Luffy, but the duck flies away from him and hides behind Zoro. The duck then proceeds to honk loudly at Zoro and to annoy him – at one point, when he tries to silence it by strangling it, the duck even bites Zoro (do ducks even have teeth? Well, this one does...)! The duck flies off, and soon after, Sanji appears from the same spot, with injuries that would have been similar to the duck's. A while later, Zoro goes to the kitchen to talk to Sanji and finds the duck there instead of Sanji! But when Zoro turns his back for a minute, Sanji is there, and the duck is gone! This is just too much for poor Zoro's (bird)brain to process, so next time he sees the duck, he captures it and makes it sit on the railing of the aft deck. Zoro refuses to move or to let the duck move until the duck turns back into Sanji ... (and I'll stop here so as not to give away the ending).
The story is one of two from the doujinshi called "The Onlooker Seems Most Of The Game" (One Piece Package 31). The other story involves Nami taking matches away from Usopp and Chopper because she is afraid they are going to set the ship on fire with all their experiments and inventions. But there's another source of fire on the Merry Go -- and he's got plenty of matches for cooking as well as for smoking. ;)
Hachimaru doujinshi are nearly impossible to find on Ebay, though they frequently appear on YahooJapan. Your best bet is to either look for them in anthologies (which do appear frequently on Ebay) or to purchase the doujins used from JPQueen or some other English-speaking Japanese doujin seller.
Here's the link at JPQUeen for this doujinshi:

sorry for double-posting, but here are some things I found on YahooJapan that will no doubt be of great interest to a few of you:
Excellent cover of Kaku w/Hattori:
http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r31317855It's Paulie! and he's building a snowman that looks just like …
http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f48934776CP9 doujin! (can't tell if it's All-Chara or H or Yaoi – will get back to you as soon as I find out)
http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d67752222Yamato's Sanji vs. Kalifa (the one I mentioned on a previous post):
http://page16.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/u7635408Excellent Robin cover – and very possibly one of those "not H" stories that so many of you are looking for now:
http://page7.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g46977458Franky and Iceberg – and for once they aren't teenagers!
(clever parody of Oda's official cover too)
http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e59225320"It used to be me" – an excellent All-chara cover from Hachimaru:
http://page16.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/u7525558ChakaXPell (I've been seeing much more of this pairing lately. I wonder why?)
http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f49816779Little kid Luffy, Little kid Usopp, Little kid Choppy, and, erm, their three yuppie guardians?!?! (can any of our Japanese translators help us with the description of this one? Thanks!)
http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d68195039All-Chara silliness from Zip (including Johnny and Yosaku!)
http://page16.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/u6490763?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! (Luzokuinami?)
http://page7.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g45843882Crocodile and Robin (the art style is like a cross between R Crumb and Los Bros Hernandez …)

http://page7.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g46909450Excellent cover (and back cover) of a wide-ranging All-Chara doujin (Vivi, Khoza, etc)
http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m35343586Baratie silliness galore in this All-Chara doujin from the early days:

http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m31687469LucciXLuffy (from Secco, of all people! Has she tired of Zoro?)
http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d68964527Rank has its perks!: CrocXDoFlamingo, CrocxMihawk, etc …
http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r31435670Goth-vampire-animal-little-kid-Halloween Zoro and Sanji from Kioks
http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r32327436Wow! It's great to see such a wide variety of pairings and styles again. For a while there, it was rather slim pickings unless you were a fan of you know who and you know who.
But don't worry, there's still thousands of doujins out there about them too. Like this smexy one from Hachimaru:
http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f52903379 -
Hey, does anyone on Yahoo Japan ship internationally? I have yet to find a single person who does.
-
Unfortunately, they don't. If you want to purchase something from YahooJapan (assuming you don't live in Japan), you'll have to do one of the following:
- use a deputy service to bid for you
- bribe a Japanese friend to purchase the item for you
- fly to Japan for a 2 week-long holiday and place all your bids from the hotel room. If you win, demand overnight shipping!
Of course, YahooJapan isn't the only way for gaijin to aquire doujinshi. It just takes a bit of ingenuity and research to figure out how to find them.
That's why I'm posting links here – so that people can use these as reference when they search for them in various other ways besides YahooJapan.
What other ways?
Try E-bay, JPQueen, YesAsia, various translation and scanlation sites, Deviant Art accounts, artist websites (many artists sell doujinshi directly from their websites) etc ...
How hard something is to acquire usually depends on how much effort you are willing to put into searching for it. In that way it's kind of like a pirate searching for treasure.

RobinxLuffy, LuffyxNami, LuffyxVivi, looked pretty cute too, from what I seen of the preview pics it revolves around how Luffy helped the girls when they needed it.

Sorry to post after myself, but here's the Vivi/Mr.9 doujin.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HETF7P8WAnyone want to translate? :3
Oh.. awesome. Thanks for scanning that! I wasn't aware Mr.9/Vivi doujins existed. :P Now I have something else to look out for.
Oh, that's Mearl Dox and Taz then!
You mean the doujins with the tiny child-like Usopp? I don't own that particular one you mentioned but had another by the same circle.
Oh, Ueda Kyou! Yes, I've seen this one before (the cover only). I really like the colors on the cover, and the layout. The story sounds beautiful too!
To be honest I didn't like the cover much. I thought Zoro looked odd, but the actual artwork inside is extremely nice.
(That scene in Skypiea has to be "ground zero" for every ZoroxRobin fan – Oda drew it so well : with Yubashiri falling mid-air, and Robin's back-pack sliding from her arm. I love the way Zoro's head is bent ever so slightly towards her, yet still looking straight down and concentrating so that he can be sure he lands her gently ... And then there's the frame immediately after where we see Robin unconscious (in the negative space surrounding Zoro's torso) ... sigh
runs off to find tanko and reread that scene
Lol, are you sure you're not a closet fan? I think that's a pretty on-spot description of that scene for fans. I made a few more scans for you of some of the nice scenes in the books:
Robin donning the Zoro-belt with predictable Sanji-reaction.
After doing the 'deed', Zo/Ro exchange knowing smiles. (Nami ponders.)The following is a snippet from a story with the two having a friendly conversation (I think on Skypiea?) which escalates into some touchy-feeliness.
Suddenly going silent.
Fixating on hair and lips.
Act like nothing happened.Ohh! Nice. Wow, that's a first! In most doujins she's already got him pinned to the table and stripped …
Tell me about it. But here, the most scandalous thing that happens is Sanji kissing her hand. It's all about opening up over midnight tea, and Sanji's unshakable faith as they ride Sodom to the tower of justice. I wish stuff like this wasn't so hard to find.
?!?!?!?!
Ok, that wins the award for the biggest oddity of the day. But it sounds like a lot of fun in spite of that. Kind of like Cyoki's hamsters …I still havent' seen the hamsters. But after seeing the flipping Sanji snail, I'm ready for just about anything. I mean, I HATE SNAILS, but they drew it really cute I gotta say. The humour is on par with Oda too. I was busting a gut countless times, and his reunion with Usopp at the end is priceless.
Something interesting I was contemplating this morning : what Franky said to Robin … it's the exact opposite of what Zoro said to Tashigi : "I can't accept the fact that you exist!".
Wow, good observation. That didn't even occur to me!
Thanks for sharing! And feel free to tell us about the other ones a few at a time too. Since most of these are new to me, it's good to get all this information. :happy:
I doubt people would be much interested in the other stuff. Some LuffyxNami, including one by Mugiwarafly (the "Dark Luffy" anthology), Secco's "Girls Don't Cry" which I think might be the same one mentioned above (Robin/Vivi/Nami stories about how Luffy helped them), and a few Croc/Robin. Besides that awesome 100-page drama by KKD, I got two gag books which are by the same circle you in your list of links.
Crocodile and Robin (the art style is like a cross between R Crumb and Los Bros Hernandez …)
http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r30158119Rank has its perks!: CrocXDoFlamingo, CrocxMihawk, etc …
http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r31435670/The art alone is a dead giveaway of Mach Brake doujin. But the two books I got by them are different titles (same Crocodile+Robin theme though). One is called "Silly Sandal", the other "Anti-Hallelujah". I thought they were going to be CrocxRobin-ish but ended up being more slashy. :disappoint:
For example, in one story Robin takes a little Croc doll and Mihawk doll and make them kiss each other, to Croc's annoyance. One of them also has a BellamyxSarquisse story, with Sarquisse pretty much acting like a schoolgirl with a crush.

Are you sure it's "x"? If so, then that's an interesting form of "help"!
If what you meant was "&", then it's probably the Secco story that Taz mentioned above. What did the cover look like?To be honest I didn't like the cover much. I thought Zoro looked odd.
The artist has given him a very long neck (opposite of Oda, who, over time, has "shortened" Zoro's neck by making his back and shoulder muscles more developed), the hair is too long also – so overall, the pic doesn't really look like him ... But I like the pose : the way he is glancing over his shoulder at her -- it's an uncommon way to portray him. And, as I mentioned before, I dig the color scheme.
Lol, are you sure you're not a closet fan? … I made a few more scans for you...
I'm open to suggestion in regards to pairings : I'll accept any pairing that's portrayed convincingly or that has a lot of potential. Robin and Zoro have great potential, as your new trove of doujins shows, and also as that wonderful segment in the manga shows.
Thanks so much for the extra scans! Very nice! I'll want to add some of these to my collection now, too! :)
The classic Zoro solution to every potentially embarrassing situation: pretend to be asleep!
the most scandalous thing that happens is Sanji kissing her hand.
Makes me think of a cute Woodstock (the artist, not the cartoon character) comic from the Swanboat website : Z and S decide to have a Judo competition to figure out which of the two of them is stronger. As the battle progresses, Chopper gets increasingly concerned about their safety. He tries to "Doctor stop!" the match, but the Alphas ignore him and keep fighting. In desperation, Chopper calls upon Robin, who breaks the fight up easily by doing two things : (1) offering one of her hands to Sanji to kiss, but quite a distance away from Zoro, and (2) pinning Zoro to the ground so that he can't chase after Sanji while Sanji is otherwise distracted by the hand! I'm not the biggest Swanboat fan, but I adore that little story. It's also fun because it plays to so many different pairings – fans of S&Z, Z&S, R&S, R&Z, R&C, etc will enjoy it.
For example, in one story Robin takes a little Croc doll and Mihawk doll and make them kiss each other
Oh, now that you mention it, I think I've seen that one on Ebay! Yes, it did look like it was CrocxRobin. How frustrating! Your description made me think of a Porno-Bach cover – Have you seen it? It shows Sanji and Zoro playing with puppets. Sanji has a Zeff puppet and Zoro has a Mihawk puppet. Very silly! If I find a link I'll put it in this thread.

lol I just rechecked the doujin and yep, it is Girls Don't Cry, on the auction it said it was x, but from the looks of things its &, still looks good tho hehehe
