Today, I was planning on posting a Final Fantasy IX doujin. But then, last night, Kamina came to me in a dream and said, "It is time..."
You can't deny the Kamina his wishes.

Parody: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Title: 星がまたたく君の頬 (Your Cheek Where the Stars Twinkle)
Pages: 36 -- Genre: Serious/Romance
Publication Date: May 11, 2008
Sneak Peek: Pg 1 -- Pg 2 -- Pg 3

Synopsis: After defeating the Anti-Spiral, Simon and Nia are finally able to spend some time together before the big day. Simon himself seems to have a lot on his mind; of his past, of the present, and the inevitable future...

Writer Opinion: I purchased this doujin right after seeing the ending to Gurren Lagann, so upset was I at one particular event. It did not disappoint.
For one, the art is really nice. It has a very soft style, which aids the mood of the doujin. Another plus is the fact that the facial expressions on the characters tell you a lot about what they're saying, which helps those who can't read a lot of Japanese.
Second, this is just what I wanted to see between these two. What happened within that week or two before their wedding day? What could Simon have been experiencing? The doujin goes about illustrating what might have occurred and does it in such a way that I feel it could fit very well within the GL universe.

Recommendation: Very High. This is the type of doujinshi that will soothe the fan's soul.
Although, if you don't like SimonxNia, you might want to knock the recommendation down to a Low-Medium.
