Digital Lover (Nakajima Yuka)

Circle: Digital Lover
Artist Pen Name: Nakajima Yuka (なかじまゆか)
Website: http://digitallover.net/

Description:
Digital Lover is known primarily for a long series of popular Ragnarok Online doujinshi. The artist--Nakajima Yuka--'s style is characterized by light lines, handwritten dialog (less common with later work), and minimal use of tones or computer coloring (also less common of recent work).

Not every issue of D.L. Action has been pornographic, and covers a wide range of franchises and licenses, including Tsukihime, Fate/Stay-Night, The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi, and even Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! and Trauma Center.

But by far the bulk of releases have concentrated on Ragnarok Online. More than half of "D.L. Action" and nearly all of "D.L. Action Rough Sketch" have featured a set of recurring R.O. characters and continuous sex-filled plotlines.

Most of Digital Lover's releases are also known for detailed, fanfic-level writing, raising it above the usual ero-doujinshi level of "let's take this character and rape her" tropes. Not to say that the writing is actually very good, but most of the releases (particularly for RO and recent Haruhi products) feature recurring characters and even large and complex "relationship charts". This can be seen as well in later "Seifuku Rakuen" installments.

Content Spectrum:
The bulk of the circle's work has been generally straight, so-called "Happy Sex", with occasional forays into mild lolicon and a small body of yaoi work.

You could not have done a better job with these lists! :D +5 rep!

I think I am going to start with the D.L. action series, I have a bunch of them and the rest don't seem to hard to track down. I will add the Circle / Artist information to the manga section later tonight once I get a coffee x_x Feel free to upload your collection to zenix and post the link!

Thanks! Checking the website it seems DL's been around even longer than Kimigabuchi, and he/they have even more releases than the DL series. Once I get back from work I'll add a couple more circles.

As a disclaimer though, these two are among my favorites, so I naturally have more detailed info. A lot of circles don't have websites or don't update regularly, or do so in a manner that I can't effectively read, so not every release list will be as detailed as the first two. Some may in fact only reflect what I have or have otherwise seen elsewhere.

Incidentally, I did once upload a big DL torrent to datorrents some time ago. I seeded, it died, and someone decided to reupload it. Not sure if that's got seeds, as datorrents can't tell anymore and it's been a long time, but here's a link:

http://datorrents.com/torrents-details.asp?id=12853

It's over 8 months old, but datorrents lists the last seeder as 2 days ago, so someone might get lucky.

Checked out the torrent unfortunately there are very few seeds. I do have a good amount of the stuff though and I will continue posting it over the next few weeks. Along with all of the other circles :D

Not to pimp my own torrent, but I've recently posted a massively updated version of the Digital Lover collection, available here:

http://www.datorrents.com/torrents-details.asp?id=21087 (tracker mirror)

It's got a lot of new content

There were some poorly-done translations of the Acolyte story arc that were done and rapidshared here and there. An anonymous on 4chan is in the process of re-editing them to look like they were done by a literate person, and another anonymous has announced that he is in the process of translating other doujinshis in the RO series, as well as some of D.L.'s Seifuku Rakuen and Haruhi-based releases, but no releases have been made as of yet.

As for how to get them, this is not the place for requests. They should be on Rapidshare somewhere. Try using rapidsearch.yi.org.

ahh..great no seeders T.T anyone mind??? why dont you upload it to fakku??? it would be easier for the leechers right?
