They are compilations of both manga and text fan-fictions. Some of them
are parodies, others are alternate-universe stories (a couple set in a
feudal-Japanese society!), and more than a few are continuations set
after the end of the series (and some of those are more "serious" than
others). Some of the artwork is highly stylized, some is similar to the
anime, and other is similar to the manga. As always, some are much
better than others. I'll scan some more images from different parts of
the manga. Some of the pictures are SO cute! The two foldout color
illustrations from the inside cover are both nice. The one from the
first volume is the same design as the cover of the 3rd volume, but all
the characters are women! The one from the 3rd volume is INCREDIBLY
CUTE picture of the main characters as children at a Japanese festival.

Is it H-doujinshi? Yaoi? Curious minds want to know.

I did, but no one was there. ;_; I'll try again sometime, maybe
tonight if I get a chance.
