  Jiraiya has released his new comic, Shichifukutou , roughly translated as Seven-luck Island, once again through a doujinshi called Otokomatsuri . Teppei (right) and his senior cameraman(left) find themselves on the way to Shichifukutou to cover the secret ceremony of this remoted island. They have no clue that the coverage comes with being nude, drinking and having sex with audiences. Jiraiya has teased his Instagram followers for more than a year with some drawings of this work. Otokomatsuri Vol. 19 , the doujinshi  featuring the comic, began to be shipped at the end of this October. Good news: As of 8 November, 2022, some copies are still available. 『漢祭（おとこまつり）』第１９号 - mitsuwabldg - BOOTH Bad news for Jiraiya fans overseas: They do not ship the item overseas and you should find way to have it delivered to an address within Japan and then be delivered to your home. The site recommends transfer service such as Tenso or Buyee. However, you can also find other companies cha...

In Juta 22 Y.O. , 2017 comic by Jiraiya , a young salaryman ( Masaru ) gets a gay porn VHS from his friend to find that the cover model resembles his married-with-three-kids co-worker ( Kousuke ). In this setting, Masaru would usually confront and end up having sex with Kousuke . The writer, however, twisted the story a little bit and put Masaru to travel across time and/or universe. Who would Masaru meet in the alternative universe? What would happen to these two co-workers?   The comic is only available through comic compilation called  Kansai (Otoko-matsuri) #2 , which is out-of-print and is found only at a few second-hand bookstores in Japan . I can guess that Kansai is a male-themed festival, otoko-matsuri , and the book was sold during the festival in 2017.

Jiraiya 's 2019 comic, Yokozuna Sensei , which can be translated as Sir Yokuzuna  or Yokozuna Teacher roughly, is on sale again through BigGym Online Shop . (https://www.biggym.co.jp/bg-online/co-bgo-j003.html) One thing I cannot be sure is if they ships the item overseas. I remember they only explain shipping and handling fee for dwellers of Japan . (c) Jiraiya (2019) The uncensored French version of the comic by Gachimuchi-Editions is, unfortunately, out-of-stock already. This is the story of Morita Kingo a.k.a.  Sir Yokozuna (left), elementary school teacher and undefeated Sumo champion in the neighbor and three local men he encounters:  Sumiyoshi the osteopath, Urashima the painter, and Momouchi the police officer (left to right). To my understanding, in Japan, the national Sumo champion is called Yokozuna . That is how the teacher is called such in this story.

I did not know till today that Jiraiya released his newest comic, Two Hoses, a story about two firemen, through Big Gym (in Japan) and Massive (in US). The picture above is from Big Gym (a gay store chain in Japan) twitter. As you can see, this comic seemed to be based on his previous artwork, which was used for several items. (I really love this artwork, even though I generally love his artwork. Actually I love all of his artworks.)  The 2nd image seems to be a promotional postcard. And the 3rd image is the US version of the comic. The image is from Massive.

According to Japanese Wikipedia, the most recent comics from Jiraiya are following: 青い空 入道雲 通り雨【前編】（216号 2014年1月） 青い空 入道雲 通り雨【後編】（217号 2014年2月） 恋人たちのありふれたやりとり（236号 2015年9月） (c) Jiraiya (from his personal blog) This seems to be the cover page of first comics (part 1 and 2), whose title seems to mean "blue sky, fleecy clouds, and passing rain." Jiraiya explains on his blog that A(on the left) lives with C(on the left) and B(in the middle) is a father of C. I don't know how the story would go. And the following image is one of scenes of second comics, whose title seems to mean "lovers' very common give and take" or something. (c) Jiraiya (from his personal blog) As you can see, it has been a while since he published new comic. But my post on his comic is one of the most popular posts among mine and this motivated me to write this article. He regularly updates his works and everything on his personal blog but only in JAPANESE. :) Happy new year, guys.

Massive keeps on its collaboration with Jiraiya.  This is one of them, a swimsuit. 

This is one of the sold-out collaborations by Massive and Jiraiya.  I visit Jiraiya's personal blog occasionally, which helps me to order items before they are out-of-stock. The artwork was used for other collaborations like adult toy etc. 

These are another collaborations by Massive, Jiraiya and OC.  The images are from the cover art of G-men, a monthly gay magazine of Japan. 

It's been a while since I posted anything on this blog. Since last August, there have been many things in my life. I somewhat experienced the heaven and the hell. But right now I feel peaceful and I think that counts. Recently I purchased two lovely collaborations by Massive, seller of gay manga goods and Jiraiya(Jupiter of Japanese gay manga, I'd like to call him). It took only 9 or 10 days for me to receive these items. I lost a few pounds since last August so I ordered "S" size of them. And they fit a little tight. But who cares? Or dare I say it. Isn't it the point?

This is the 2nd collaboration towel by Massive and Jiraiya. The first one was like this. After the 1st one was sold out. I regretted not buying that. So this time I hurried and now I got the 2nd one on my bed right now.

Jiraiya is releasing another comic anthology. But it is a kind of "updated" version of the comic book which was released years ago (see below). The newer version contains 3 more comics which were released after the 1st version's release. And it also contains various new stuffs, says Jiraiya.

G-men #172 Another comic by Jiraiya, which was published after his latest comic book. It is called Kinta no Kintama(金太のキンタマ), which means Kinta's balls in Japanese. Followings are the images that I've found regarding this comic.

Jiraiya has published his newest comic, Beware of Fire(火のー用ー心), though G-Men #196. Here's the rough sketch of two main characters of the comic.   Here are some shots from the comic.   The man on the left is saying, "Don't you feel somewhat dangerous/risky, do you?" I can't read the line.   The man on the right is saying that "Call the insurance company". And the other man is responding "But what about today?(literally, today is a big problem)" *Because of the fire at the younger man's apartment, the elder man, who is the boss, let the younger man stay at his own home. *What's going to happen that night? Here's the cover of the magazine which includes the comic. Should I buy magazines or should I wait for another compilation comic book by Jiraiya???

Recently I ordered Jiraiya 1998 - 2012, the latest illustration book of Jiraiya. Like one fan pointed out, the book is filled with many drawings which any die-hard fan of Jiraiya would have seen while "stalking" Jiraiya. I'm not the only one who's obssessed with Jiraiya's works. :) good to know.

  Another comic of Jiraiya which is not included in his own comic books. This comic is included in #181 G-men magazine. According to the publisher, the comic is about two men on their trip to Hokkaido(one of Japanese Islands).

New comic of Jiraiya, Onyama-san to shiroi sake (Mr. Onyama* and white liqour) The comic is included in the #6 of Comic G.G. The main character who cut the trees  and stayed in the mountains(*Yama means a mountain in Japanese) received a visit from the spirits wearing white mask. The sprits asked for "White liqour" and you know what it means.

Jiraiya is a manga writer who had drawn the cover of "G-men" for years and published his manga through the same magazine for years. All his characters are chubby and masculine men. And unlike Tagame Gengoroh who had drawn the magazine's cover for years before Jiraiya did is into SM and likes to put his characters in pain and torture, Jiraiya's characters are cute, fun-loving and more easy to relate to. He published two comic books including Goninbeya and one illustration book called "The Art of Giraiya".
