Okay, I don't remember any of the characters from Milk Closet at all, and I've never read Propeller Heaven, so they're not currently tagged. I'll see what I can do about that.
The Alien Nine anime wasn't so bad, and the manga was freakin amazing. Never read the other two but I've seen some excerpts from Milk Closet. Man that guy does some weirdass stuff.

You should read Milk Closet at some point. It's possibly more disturbing precisely because it's more coherent than Alien Nine at telling the story. Also, if you're looking for more things make make you set the book/remote down, walk to the cupboard, and grab spiritual support in the form of single malt whiskey, watch and/or read Narutaru.
- I got Hana from Milk Closet - To the girl with the dark hair "主人公は中学1年生の女子、桜田子鐘（さくらだ こがね）。" From a site about Propeller Heaven... not sure how her name is meant to be. I am guessing "Sakurada Kogane"? - Didn't find anything on Turtle girl. I did see a pic on Deviant art that had a girl with pigtails, but the artist only put her first name, "Koito"

That's what it says in the parentheses. S'probably the best lead we've got until someone actually buys the manga and reads it. Maybe once cash is flowing for me again, I'll hit up Amazon.
Yeah, I dug the Narutaru anime and read the manga as far as it went in english at the time, then went to raws and got a help from a japanese-reading friend. Loved Bokurano too. I'll see how far Milk Closet went in english as I don't read the runes of the east very well.
Thanks. It seems their site is gone and their forum has no downloads, but I'm sure there's a batch torrent/download of the series is out there if they completed it. I'll sniff around some more over the next few days.
Stories like those are A9 and Narutaru are truly great. They give me the same sense of wonder that fairy tales did when I was a kid. They're such brutal stories but it feels so refreshing to read one. Actually, Alien Nine Emulators is the only manga I ever read cover-to-back in a single sitting.

Eh? http://kotonoha.monkey-pirate.com/completed-series/milk-closet/ They seem to have torrents-only up for all but the last chapter, and those will be dubiously alive, but you might also check their IRC channel. Unfortunately, with CMX dead, it's uncertain that it'll ever make it States-side.
It just displays as a plain white page with no images or text on a PS3, ie and firefox. That's why I said their site seemed gone. Checking the source there's no actual content.

and this doesn't change even if I cut back your link. What browser do you use?

Works in Firefox 3, Chrome, and Konqueror here. I don't know what the problem cold be, but this does come back to the things I dislike about half-assed web technology creeping onto the desktop.
Don't worry about it, bro. Thanks for the assist (and super fast too) I sent the link to some friends and none of them can see it either. I know it's a long shot but I wonder if it's IP or ISP related. I'll try asking somebody on my contact list who's american or something. Everyone I asked is in Canada.
I found a website that lets me read it online. Sucky way to go but it's my only option so I'll enjoy it.
At long long long long last we finally have the turtle thing's origin. I got the raws for Tokumu Houkoukan Yumihari and it shows up in vol.4. No freakin clue who (or what) it is tho since this series is exceptionally weird, even by Tomizawa standards.
