SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT Thanks to its nomination for Best Lettering at the American Manga Awards, the first two chapters of Shimimaru's Sweet and Spicy are now available for FREE on the J18 Free-Reader! Wondering what award-nominated hentai looks like? Now you can find out!

This week's release is @karasu_Chan1204's Don't Feed the Trolls GG EZ! Our foul-mouthed gamer girl has lost her mojo... and the best way for her to get it back is to go on a date with MeemeeBaby, and fuck her way to the top of the PowHub rankings!

Big news. Huge, even. We're proud to announce J18 Publishing has TWO books nominated for BEST LETTERING at the @MangaAwardsUSA! If you want to know more about these two excellent titles, read on!

And that's all for chapter previews of Shimimaru's Sweet and Spicy. If any of these foul-mouthed beauties caught your eye, you can take them all home with you today!

The last chapter of Shimimaru's Sweet and Spicy is Gender Bender! When Takeda Akira wakes up one morning in a girl's body, he's determined to keep living his life like normal... but he might change his tune once he experiences the pleasures his new body has to offer!

Chapter 8 of Shimimaru's Sweet and Spicy is Through the Viewfinder! Chio is dedicated to exposing sexual misdeeds perpetrated by her classmates and teachers, but her antics are creating plenty of enemies... enough to lay a clever trap for this vigilante journalist!

Chapter 7 of Shimimaru's Sweet and Spicy is Does Working Out Make You Horny? Kinjo's a gym nut, always eager to help out newcomers. Her latest newbie has pretty strong body odor... but coming from her, that's a complement! (And sex burns plenty of calories!)

Chapter 6 of Shimimaru's Sweet and Spicy is Always Read the Warnings First! Okazaki's the president of the occult club, and she's got a magic formula to turn her clubmate into her loyal servant! Does it actually work, or is he just playing along? And really, who cares?

Chapter 5 of Shimimaru's Sweet and Spicy is We Made Sex Ed Fun! Japan's population is in decline, and it's clearly because nobody's teaching the next generation how to fuck! If students like Takamine refuse to learn, their classmates will have to provide the proper motivation!

Chapter 4 of Shimimaru's Sweet and Spicy is The Princess of the Stairwell! Takasaki seems like a gloomy girl who likes reading in peace... but on the inside, she's actually a real freak! Luckily, the boy who's crushing on her is more than happy to indulge her inner desires...

Chapter 3 of Shimimaru's Sweet and Spicy is The Curious Incident of the Abandoned Vibrator! When Kaede's vibrator pops out in front of her classmate, his only concern is fixing it! So, she commissions a custom toy from him... but he only has one source of inspiration for design!

Chapter 2 of Shimimaru's Sweet and Spicy is Slave to That Sweet Scent Part Two! It's not just Kitsukawa: from random girls on the train to cute store clerks to even his own teachers, every girl is eager to get their share of this poor boy's precious (and stinky) bodily fluids!

Chapter 1 of Shimimaru's Sweet and Spicy is Slave to That Sweet Scent Part One! Kitsukawa's classmate seriously stinks... but stuck in a room full of his stench, she discovers the addictive quality of his bodily fluids! She'd better drain him dry before some other girl does...

Congratulations! You have OVERWHELMED the warehouse with orders. We are incredibly grateful for your support. Just know it may take a couple extra days for your purchases to reach you.

But wait: we also have Mignon's Nummy Tummy this week! Nummy Tummy is an oversized art book featuring Mignon's finest illustrations from previous tummy-focused publications... including the ones with sex! With artist commentary on every page, you can't miss this Mignon title!

We're coming out SWINGING this week with Shimimaru's Sweet and Spicy! They say first comes love, then comes marriage… but it's way hotter if she wants to beat the shit out of you first! Aren’t girls at their cutest when they’ve got filthy mouths and bad attitudes?

We're not just hosting a panel with Kemonono★: he'll be signing autographs, too! Come to the JW Marriott Gold Ballroom on July 3rd-4th from 7-8PM to get an autograph from this monster girl maestro! Autographs are FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVED. Arrive early to secure your spot!

With Anime Expo coming soon, we're ready to announce our PANEL: Monster Girls Rise! Animal girls, monster girls, demihumans: whatever you call them, they've never been more popular. Join us and Kemonono★ as we discuss this juggernaut genre, and acknowledge total furry victory.
