Digital Release: The Sneaker’s Dec 2009 “Bathing” Booklet

ava Originally, I wanted to scan some of the pages from The Sneaker Dec 2009 as well, but due to a hot day, I can’t bring myself to turn on the hairdryer to debind the mag, so this will have to do for now. Also, because of the nature of the booklet (girls bathing, onsen or otherwise), there won’t be all too many images in this post, and an ecchi warning is in effect for this release. So what is the booklet really about? From what I can see, Yukemuri SNEAKER (湯けむりスニーカー) contains illustrations for the various serialised short novels in The Sneaker. Notables include Gadget (ガジェット), illustrated by Ueda Ryo, and Azukete! Jikan Ginkou (あずけて! 時間銀行), by Tiv! [Release][PNG] [Patch:Missing Pic][PNG]

While the booklet was bound using staplers, a number of pages were not aligned properly in the original so it’s not perfect. However, what you see here is what I got. ^^;

And there are around 11 others in the archive as well. Enjoy.

    Hmm, stripped yukata will have to wait until tomorrow when I have my tablet to get edited correctly ( it’s gap filling since the pages don’t match )

    The girls from Suzumiya haruhi… look different, I couldn’t recognize them at first.

    This was supposed to be a preview on my progress on this scan ^^; . Here is the finished cleaning. I redraw the stripes with my tablet, which is very hard with a trackpad, and the pen tool of Photoshop wouldn’t work as it would make some very hard line which would seems out of place.
