I'm not entirely sure, but did DISTANCE do a re-make of Micheal Keikaku? I found this on the Doujinshi DB Project, and I must know more.

I get so tired of people praising the Michael Keikaku series. It was one of Distance's earlier works and even back then it felt imperfect to me; in today's market, I would count it as shit. Poor art, a story that doesn't know where it wants to go, and a superficial inclusion of nearly every softcore /d/ fetish known to man just to try and please everybody. A good first attempt from a circle just getting started but nothing more.

THAT STATED, Michael Keikaku is near and dear to my heart. It was one of the first hentai mangas and doujins I ever downloaded. And I mean ever, like, before Michael Keikaku I was only jacking off to pictures whereas after Michael Keikaku I had seen the light and was from then a doujins-and-manga man. It was also my first exposure to anything remotely /d/. And it was a great first exposure at that: enticing without being too extreme. By not being too extreme, Michael Keikaku was an excellent "gateway hentai" to weirder worlds.

tl;dr a lot of people are probably going to bitch and whine about this /r/equest but you know something? Let 'em. I guarantee every last one of them will download a remade Michael Keikaku if the link is provided. And I'll be one of 'em. Wouldn't miss it for the world.

And honestly, the biggest complaint I have with Michael Keikaku is the crude presentation of Distance's artstyle, so if Distance is going to take Michael Keikaku and redraw it with the art quality we saw in Bi~Chiku, I say MORE POWER TO HIM. (see attached picture)

I only wish more of our favorite hentai artists would do this, i.e. go back and redraw their oldest works with their honed art styles.

Anyway to answer your question, if you go back to Doujinshi DB and click on the link to the redrawn Michael Keikaku 3 (it's currently the top entry on the Distance page), then you'll see this written in the Japanese name field:

??????3 ???

It reads "Michael Keikaku 3 Shinsouban" or "Michael Keikaku 3 Refurbished Edition". Granted, it could just be the name that the submitter created for the JName field, but I find that highly unlikely.

So congrats, Anon: you just got yourself not one, not two, but THREE redrawn h-mangas from one of hentai's most well-loved artists. Seriously, congratulations. I hope you find this soon.

I dont think scans of this exist yet. You might have to go out and buy the book. It's worth it.

so this is really redrawn and not just republished versons. very nice

I've never been able to find translations of volumes 2 and 3 of Michael Keikaku. Were there ever any made?
>> Gitami
It looks to be a republished version, since it said new cover edition. Might contain some new pictures but I doubt he'd have the time to redraw the entire thing. Unless he has been doing it for a long long while now. I'd rather have his Ochiru Tenshi style than Bi-Chiku. It was more distinct.

Your DISTANCE-fu was disqualified by this statement. The three-comic series Buchou Yori Ai Wo Komete were around well before it. Shit, they were scanned and available way back in the Masaki Archive days before even adultbouncer came and went.

Says three will start soon. http://www.tadanohito.net/news.php

After I wrote this I knew that some upstart would try to cause shit by saying this but decided ot hold off until it actually happened. Since you've obliged, sir, allow me to clarify. I did make a mistake, but it wasn't one in Distance-fu, rather one in ambiguous grammar. What I had meant to convey was, "Michael Keikaku was whispers of what was yet to come," i.e. I don't really respect Distance's ability to draw until around the time of Ochiru Tenshi.

As for Distance-fu, Distance is in my Silver Medalist category so I by no means try to make itmy life's effort to get every last one of his stories. However, several years ago (I want to say July 2006) I found a torrent that was called "DISTANCE 500 MB" and from that I got most of what you see here. Including the Bucho Yori Ai wo Komete series.

So by all means, I'll admit that I made an error -- but it was a grammatical one of confusion, not a newfag one of "dur hur hur, Mikael iz hiz first doujin".

Before anyone replies saying "hey, you're missing some!", I've got one or two other Distance pieces (I know at least Bi~Chiku) in a different directory.

May as well add an image to this reply, so ... here you go, confirmation of the date of publication of Bucho Yori.

If you're able to take the time to type that much to express your butthurt, you should be able to get the phrasing right the first time.

I hit Submit (despite checking it over) and only then did I see the danger. Decided against deleting it and reposting it just for that one edit. I decided it wasn't worth the complaints of phantom posting and that it was not AS likely as normal that somebody was going to snarkily reply to that and try to one-up me on hentai encyclopedic knowledge.

Suffice to say, I guessed work. And I'm not so much "butthurt" as "butt-OCD." A butthurt idiot would have, after all, not admitted he erred. I admit that I communicated poorly. I just wanted to set the record straight, that's all. I'm well-aware than on 4chan all bets are off whether the other guy will accept that or just shout back 'yeah right fag'. In which case, meh + fuck it + at least I tried.

guessed WRONG, even. Dammit. Point proven, though, seeing as I checked this once over before submitting. Dammit!
