Takuechi Takashi’s Pre-TYPE-MOON Doujinshi

Takeuchi Takashi (武内崇) is a Japanese artist best known as the illustrator and co-founder of TYPE-MOON. In otherwords, he’s the artist behind all the characters from Tsukihime, Fate/stay night, and Kara no Kyoukai (yes, he drew your waifu).

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 Bamboo Broom (竹箒) and CoCiCaCe CLUB (腰掛倶楽部).

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 fragments and Maid-san wa Majo).

Loot!
Thick envelope from Mandarake… I was kinda expecting better padding for a 70,000 yen EMS order…

At least they all arrived safely ^_^

All the doujinshi laid out

I also managed to win the auction for Valkyria NEAV SAGA Episode00 separately but haven’t gotten around to taking pics for that. Still on the hunt for Valkyria NEAV SAGA II, 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 these with Takeuchi guest pages and a bunch of other confusing entries on nmisaki’s timeline page (partially translated at Tsuki-kan) 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).
