Takuechi Takashi’s Pre-TYPE-MOON Doujinshi

[url=http://myfigurecollection.net/picture/850486][img]https://keripo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013-11/850486-scaled.jpeg[/img][/url] [url=http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Takashi_Takeuchi]Takeuchi Takashi (武内崇)[/url] is a Japanese artist best known as the illustrator and co-founder of [url=http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/TYPE-MOON]TYPE-MOON[/url]. In otherwords, he's the artist behind all the characters from [url=http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Tsukihime]Tsukihime[/url], [url=http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Fate/stay_night]Fate/stay night[/url], and [url=http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Kara_no_Kyoukai]Kara no Kyoukai[/url] (yes, he drew [url=http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Saber_%28Fate/stay_night%29]your waifu[/url]).

But before TYPE-MOON became a commercial company in 2004 with the release of Fate/stay night, TYPE-MOON was a doujin circle. And before TYPE-MOON became a doujin circle in 2000 with the release of Tsukihime, Takeuchi and Nasu were publishing other doujinshis under various circle names, including [url=http://www.remus.dti.ne.jp/~takeucto]Bamboo Broom (竹箒)[/url] and [url=http://www02.u-page.so-net.ne.jp/wb3/hmd]CoCiCaCe CLUB (腰掛倶楽部)[/url].

The following are some of the pre-2000 doujinshis drawn by Takeuchi (most of them also done with informal guidance from Nasu). These are arguably some of the rarest doujinshi for TYPE-MOON collectors; most of these will cost you over 10k yen sealed, if you can even find them for sale at all. I was lucky enough to snatch them from Mandarake for a total of 70,000 yen (they are all unsealed B condition, hence the cheaper prices) – my guess was someone earlier that day decided to sell their precious Takeuchi collection and I was online at the right time (unfortunately I was too slow to snatch [url=http://www.tsukikan.com/tmdb/fragments]fragments[/url] and [url=http://www.tsukikan.com/tmdb/maid-san-wa-majo]Maid-san wa Majo[/url]).

I also managed to win the auction for [url=http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-378578.html]Valkyria NEAV SAGA Episode00[/url] separately but haven't gotten around to taking pics for that. Still on the hunt for [url=https://keripo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/7KAiaVU.jpg]Valkyria NEAV SAGA II[/url], fragments, 天然苫戸, and a copy of Maid-San wa Majo that isn't going to cost me 40k yen 🙁 There's also [url=http://www.mandarake.co.jp/information/2006/12/19/21nkn18/index.html]these[/url] with Takeuchi guest pages and a bunch of other confusing entries on [url=http://www.st.rim.or.jp/~nmisaki/topics/typemoon.html]nmisaki's timeline page[/url] (partially translated at [url=http://www.tsukikan.com/misc/type-moon-incomplete-timeline.html]Tsuki-kan[/url]) but for now, it's just a "see-what-I-can-find" game. In the meanwhile, I also just recently ordered a cheap scanner from Amazon though, so when that arrives, I'll be able to take proper scans of these (instead of crappy camera pics).
