Ryo Kitakami is the woman behind SWAT Planning. She's done two Hellsing doujinshi and also has done doujin for Gensou Suikoden I & II, Final Fantasy 7, Gun Parade March, Haruka Naru Toki no Nakade, and many other series. Her artwork is reasonable, a little cutesy in places but comfortably shounen enough to suit my tastes. Kitakami-san is clearly a fan of the manga, since she does a good job of copying Kouta-san's gag drawings. (Seras in particular. ^^;)

Title : Grand Reparation Published : 29/Dec/2000 Size : B5 Comments : This is mostly gag stories, but there are two serious shorts. There's a lot of guest art and stories, so there's a variety of styles. (Including work by both artists of Pink Dreamers.) In the first story of the book there are chibi characters of Integra, Seras, and Walter. I'm not talking child-like, I mean total plush-toys. Alucard notices there's not one of him sooo... he rips off his arm and makes it into one. *_* (He's definetely one of the finalists in Most Disturbing Manga Character.) This also has some really nice illusts. There's Anderson, a sexy sketch of Integral, and a picture of Integral as a child with Alucard's coat on. (^_^) There's a three page novel and several pages of comments on Hellsing. [44 pgs]
