(Disclaimer: This is not my work. I am in no way affiliated with the artist. I just want to show off artists that I think need more attention. I also don't have anyone I can talk to about the rabbit hole I've gone down that is Good Omens doujins. I will supply links to their social media and where you can find the publications (If available))

Well this is the third time I've posted about Gractus. So I'm not sure what else I can say about them... Especially once I say what this book is... Oh! I found out semi recently that they were part of the Demon Slayer fandom before Good Omens. They've published some Rengoku x Tanjiro books in the past!

Now then...

This is Breakfast at Edinburgh by Gractus

This is a printed version of their work on Twitter. There are two stories that were drawn specifically for this book, but they are available to some degree on their account. One is about the two having breakfast in Edinburgh. The other has the two stargazing.

As I've said before, I love their art so I'll buy whatever they put out. And I'm happy I get to have a physical copy of their online work. The unfortunate truth when it comes to the internet is that, it's not forever. Despite the old saying, things go missing quite easily. Either intentionally or just by virtue of time. Ya physical stuff will go missing too, but hey having multiple copies of something makes it easier to keep hold of right?

Ugh I'm getting pessimistic... Especially with all the doom and gloom of what might become of the internet in the near future...

Anyway, The book is probably the smallest book I own, along with a light novel I bought kind of on a whim. Like it can fit in my hand. The cover is glossy, like their last book, and the colors are super vibrant! Also, the inside cover page is textured and pink!

The book is available on their Pico page (link above). Also, they've recent released another book called "Suītorondonbakku", or 'Sweet London Black'. It's a sequel to their previous book, and is also a R-18 book (and the link I gave also has a link to some of those pages too 😉 I didn't know I needed to see Aziraphale sticking his tongue out till now). Spoiler alert, I bought it and it recently arrived. And of course I love it too~!

And with this, I am officially up to date on my Gractus doujin collection! I've shown off their other works earlier on, but I'm still happy to show off their work. Their style is too unique to just shrug off, you know? So without further to do...

This is Suītoramuraimu (Sweet Lime Rum) by Gractus

It's their first published R-18 work! We see the husbands in the middle of an intimate moment, where Crowley's allowed to explore and feel Aziraphale in the way he's always wanted to. It's a simple story compared to others, but the beauty of this doujin is just watching Crowley feeling his angel. You can feel the delicateness but intentional caressing. It's not all about lust. He's appreciating the gentle feel of skin and such. I think it's a prime example of body worship without it explicitly being worship.

So I've already spoken about how unique and beautiful Gracus' work is, but this work made me realize that the absence of their line work is beautiful too. There's a panel where we see Azi's back and butt. It's so clean and white. It looks so soft despite the lack of shading. I mean I'm usually not one to admire drawings of the body outside of a 'I've drawn so I can appreciate how it's drawn', but I literally wanted to touch what this drawing represented. It looked that soft.

Since this is a R-18 work, I should add that Crowley is topping in this one. But Crowley still has moments of awkwardness and such. Likewise, Aziraphale is not entirely submissive. He just gets overwhelmed by the body workshop.

The book itself is the same size as their other books. The key difference is the type of cover they use. It's super glossy compared to the more matte feel of their previous works. It threw me off, but it's nice to the touch. Paper quality is still good and you can see their line work easily.

Now I think the doujin is still available. They've moved their books to Pico (the link is above). If you want to buy any of their works, you can still use Proxy Shipping services. However, you'll need to make a note to the service with (if not all) doujins you want. In the case of ZenMarket, I just wrote I wanted this one and they bought it without issue.

On June 1st, there's going to be a doujin event going on! A lot of the artists I follow are going to be selling their work and I am SO excited!! Unfortunately Kyo-sensei won't be able to make it, but they're selling their work on a different site. Hopefully they'll be able to buy stuff still (Whenever I think my collection is big, I just look at their collection to ground myself lmao).

Anyway, so until then, I'm gonna try and post some more pics of the works in my collection! The majority of them will be selling stuff at the event, so if you like what you see, check their Booth page. Usually, they'll post what they have left there. You will need to use a proxy service if you want to get one and shipping can get expensive. Just a warning.

As always, I'll supply their social media and the links to where you can buy these:

First artist of the week is Gractus. They have a very unique art style that I adore. Their line work is sketchier and their Crowley and Aziraphale are stylized in a way that's not always traditional in anime-like styles. I love how they draw Azi's eyes all watery. For June 1st, they're releasing their first published R-18 work. It isn't their first nsfw work (their twitter has a link to all their suggestive stuff), but their two published works are at most R-15.

Speaking of!

First off, here's Snake and Cup, their first published book. It's a story set in Rome, set after the scene where Aziraphale tempts Crowley to some oysters. This is the R-15 book in question. At most, it contains sensual touching as Crowley tries to tempt Azi in return, but 'fails'. This was the second book I ever bought from Japan and it's beautiful. Smaller than the other one I posted, but the cover is matte and the pages have a wonderful texture. You can also see all the detail in their line work, which is a definite plus. By the by, if you like this story, they did a couple extra pages that actually turn R-18. Again check their twitter.

And next is Mellow Amber Note This is set before season 1, according to the notes on their Booth. In it, Aziraphale collects cologne and perfume, something that surprises Crowley. In comparison to Snake and Cup, this one is not as sensually charged, but the tension is there in full force. I think it's the panel layout, but also the expressions. Seeing Crowley go from frowning to smiling is so beautiful. And Azi's melancholy and hope for more fits how they draw him. Also, this one is shorter than the first book, so just a warning there.

Unfortunately, both books are sold out at the moment. However, I suspect at least Mellow Amber Note will come back after the event. They probably wanted to make sure they had enough to see there, you know? So keep an eye out on their twitter and booth.
