Wonder if he'd be interested in my doujin script. ^_^

This pretty awesome artist is working on a really funny and cute doujin about the aftermath of the anime's ending. This is just a small taste of it

Really want to upload this, trying to find a way to contact the artist at the moment for permission.

Do you always ask the artist for permission before an upload?
Similarly for things scanlated/translated/requested, do you make sure you/the scanlators have approval too?

Translation courtesy of /u/

Mamori: My name is Tokonome Mamori. I'm 16 years old.
Everyone: It's nice to meet you!"

Ranka: Heh~ Tokonome, huh? That's an unusual name.

Ranka: How do you write it down?

Mamori: Um...
Mamori: Vir...
Mamori: gin...

Mamori: I never expected it to be this damaging...
Mirei: ....!!
Mirei: Grrr
Ranka: Huh!?
Ranka: Did I say something bad...
Ranka: That's a scary look!!

Rinka: You're pretty good at wielding a sword, Mirei-chan.
Mirei: Your swordsmanship is pretty hard to read, Rinka. That was a close match.
Rinka: Really!? If you'd like, maybe we can battle another time?
Mirei: Yeah, of course.

Ranka: Hey, Kuzuryu. Whaddaya think of that?
Momo: ...Hmm

Ranka: Hey, Mirei!! Don't cling onto my sister!!
Mirei: I'm not really clinging onto her...
Mamori & Koharu: Woof woof woof woof

Finally, it took another restock, but I am finally blessed with an LE order.

I hope this gets ported to PC like the Senran Kagura games have started to get ported, so I can play it with a 360/Xbox One pad. I gave up playing it on Vita since the Vita sticks just make my hands hurt.

Nothing will ever phase me after PSP Monster Hunter's CLAW.

Sadly, Viola is the least popular of the cast in Japan.

Nice art! I like Viola. How can she be less popular than Mana?!

Mana is actually the second most popular girl. Momo is the first.

And Japan doesn't really likes outgoing, forceful personalities on their girls. Even less on blondes. Viola was downright ignored on the retailer bonus for the Bikini Party Edition

I hate Mana and can't understand why anyone would like her.

Japan has bad taste. I think Yumi from Senran Kagura (same seiyuu as Mana) is also very popular there, and I find her veeeery boring and annoying. All the interesting characters get pushed aside in favor of "perfect (boring) wife material".

Viola deserves some love! (Luckily she has Koharu for that!)

I'll defend Yumi a bit because she supports/ships AsuHomu.

It comes down to cultural differences. Japan loves strong independent women as long they remain ultimately subservient to men, women fully independent aren't that appealing to them.

Yumi is not a bad character per se but she's not really Main character material, even less now that they've going full pandering with her.

As for Bhikkhuni, Mana fits to a T the "character is a jerk because is misunderstood" trope that Japan seems to love (see Naruto's Sasuke). Momo is on the same boat.

That sounds pretty awful when you put it that way, although I suppose there's no other way to put it.

Japan is still pretty heavy on roles in society and women for the longest time where just wives waiting for their husbands and caring for the house, so no wonder that this kind of perfect housewife is still most preferred one.

I started Bhikhuni yesterday, it looks great, I'm really happy that I get to finally play it ;u;
I get that in the Dining Room, you can increase/develop character relationships by collecting the hearts, but does it actually do anything, besides unlocking the events/scenes? Does it influence the gameplay in any way?

No, it only serves to unlock special romance novels with the girls.

The novels themselves are very, very gay though.

Rare ship sighted

Oh shit. I'm surprised I haven't seen much fanart of them actually, and they actually sleep with each other in the series too
