It scares me that I can read some even though I did not have any Japanese education.

Is this...

Is this just an image that was always there on dora e's pixiv and we only just now noticed it?

I mean, I know dora e said there wasn't going to be any more "Patchy and...", but...

*looks on pixiv*

Ah, I see. He's reposted the whole series as a collection and added this title page.

Indeed, it would appear to the first page of the set.

excite.co.jp (http://www.excite.co.jp/world/english/) translates this as:

Since a continuation of this work is due to be distributed in a gold spring festival, it is what is called review here.

Dare we hope...?

Do keep in mind what day it is in Japan, you can see it on the Pixiv page he uploaded it to.

Ok, this is hitting below the belt.

I plan to distribute the continuation of this at Reitaisai, so I'm reviewing it here, as it were.

I dunno, it IS a whole page of genuine new art that fits at the beginning, without disrupting the story flow. Might be a prank, but it seems feasibly legit.

Either way, the story apparently has a new title. I'll edit the pool name/description accordingly.

April Fools

That's why I'm not jumping up and down and going "squee". Yet.

Well, duh. Nobody would buy it otherwise.
It strikes me as just like Dora E to draw something like this just for a prank. It's not like this art style is particularly complex or difficult anyway.

Nah, he'll post one more page.

My point was that, in most proper April Fool pranks I've seen, there's been an element that's outrageous enough to indicate clearly that it's a prank, even if it's sometimes subtle. I don't see any such outrageous "hint" here. I'll grant that this in and of itself isn't proof either way, but it's enough to keep me from dismissing this as an April Fool's gag right off.

Edit: And one day later, post #1133130 gloriously rewards that patience.

You all forget. This is Dora E. He can troll his audience and continue the series at the same time with ease.

I don't really understand this doujin, and several other things floating around on danbooru. It just looks like the artist didn't really even try to draw stuff, and I have yet to see anything particularly witty and funny so far in the doujin.
On a bit of a tangent, I'm constantly shifting between two thoughts on how my works would be viewed here. On one hand, we've got these kinds of posts, which I've discussed above, but on the other hand, It's not like my work is extremely good either. Anyway, back to my aimless ponderings elsewhere.
