^The official art work is intentionally Halloween themed, so I think it's Marie dressing up as Red Riding Hood for Halloween. I'm probably going to explain it poorly but here goes, last year in Japan the 4th Anniversary had a physical in person event to celebrate. It had various different sections with different themes, and one of them was a Halloween themed area, that official art for Marie is art designed for that area. Hopefully this makes some amount of sense, and I'm not just rambling madly.

This made me laugh really hard, the Asobi Asobase connection people are drawing is spot on. Hopefully the author/artist returns one day to deliver more hilarious works like this to the world.

I often don't like Takemiya Jin's works, they from what I remember write a lot of weird and/or grim dark stories. So I'm kind of shocked that people are surprised that this story was weird, while reading this I could only think, "Oh great here Takemiya goes again". I always want to give new works a fair chance regardless of author, but yeah I definitely didn't enjoy this one-shot unfortunately.

I think I mostly agree with Random, a weird platonic long-distance kind of thing, that could also result in them having sex at times when Mostima shows back up in town because again complicated relationships. I just don't in any way see Mostima as sisterly in the slightest and likely never will, so I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree Mike, and that's perfectly fine. We both have our perspectives and they're both equally valid.

I really don't see them as "sisters" in the slightest. Especially given various story details, that I won't go into given that they might count as spoilers to some if they didn't play a recent event on the Global Server, but I will at least say that it involves Exusiai's actual sister. Also I think Exusiai and Mostima make for an interesting but complicated ship, one that I very much like for several reasons.

Just from a geographical perspective this seems like an odd pairing. Never played the game and probably never will.

They're just code names, and the characters are from the same city.

Uhh..

Lappland suffers from an illness/infection that will kill eventually her, and it causes various damage to the body over time. So Lappland making a joke about it caused Texas to be upset, because it's a serious matter. A lot of major characters in Arknights have it, and they're still searching for a cure.

So wait...let me get this straight, there's two different people in these comments that made lengthy posts and are upset that this isn't more realistic? A short cute little vampire romance that the author is making just for fun, I don't understand how such a simple cute little series that's entirely harmless warrants so much intense hatred from some people, but alrighty I guess.

Man, it was a good thing MC-san's in love with Miku, because going straight to groping and sexual assault without consent is a VERY risky maneuver... oh well, logic checks out in Yuri Land

I just knew someone was going to make a comment like this, and I think in fiction at least it's mostly about reading the room and the right atmosphere. They're both likely going through puberty and horny, combined with how the MC was looking at Miku. Miku knew there was attraction between them and things escalated, so I really don't think this manga has sexual assault in it, but ah well I rather not debate this further than this single comment.

@thechampionmike95 Well that's fair. I personally don't mind relationships of any sexuality in my entertainment, but I definitely would like to see more of Okita & Nobu as a canon ship. I think again though that Redline will largely focus mostly on the battles, and so far the manga has proven to be really excellent in that regard.

Also I fully agree that getting Gudako in anime form would be amazing. The Epic of Remnant Shimosa manga stars Gudako, and focuses on her battles & adventurers with Musashi. Which so far has been a really entertaining read, with some really nice art. So I'm very much hoping that the manga as it is with Gudako and the art style get adapted into an anime.

I'm shifting part of the edit on my last comment to this one since I think it makes more sense here. As I said though we might not fully agree on everything and that's of course fine, no hard feelings here. Plus regardless I have enough hype for at least 10 people for Redline, and the possibility of an anime adaption at some point haha. Anyhow though it was fun talking to you, have a great evening/night/morning, and stay safe during these crazy times!

@thechampionmike95 You still get a lot of f/f ships from Fate anime. For example the arguably main canon relationship of Zero is Iri and Kiritsugu, but there's still more than enough cute interactions between Artoria and Iri that a ship between them works well. I personally love the fan-art of them together. Part of my point is that Okita & Nobu is already a fairly popular ship in the Fate fandom, a really hype and amazing adaption of Redline will only generate more of that because of the already established head canon in the fandom. Combined with any and all of their interactions in the anime fueling that fire.

Maybe you disagree with me, or just don't see where I'm coming from. That's fine, but as someone who is very involved in both the Fate fandom and fan-art communities in general, I am very confident in my belief that an anime adaption of this series would generate more fan-art of Okita & Nobu as a ship.

@thechampionmike95 Okita has 0 interest in her master thus far. The series is in general very serious, and lot of the Nobu and/or Okita action scenes look freaking great in my opinion. I wish the main master was female, but aside from that the series has been really enjoyable so far for me. An anime adaption is something I'd absolutely love, especially given how brutal and kick ass Nobu & Okita are.

I think "Azero25" was just saying that with an anime adaption of the series, you'd also likely get people making fan art with the male master. I think though that a lot of people (including myself) love the Okita & Nobu ship, so an anime would probably give at least a decent boost to the production of their ship fan-art (I'd hope anyhow).

Cheesy and shallow.

Well you must be fun at parties. It was cheesy yes, which was fun in my opinion, but I think the escapism wasn't exactly shallow. If anything I felt it was sincere.

Ah yes. The "cheating with a man" cliché. Because everybody loves that right?

well what do you expect doesn't really seem like she swung for girls to begin with. sounds like she didn't want to do it with her gf

It's also a "cliche" for a reason. A straight person trying to date a homosexual person as an experiment is unfortunately not rare from what I know. Plus you also have the whole traditional views on marriage that still exist in Japan. So authors through their writing get out their frustrations about subjects like this. Which I think makes sense. Also every work on the planet has cliches, every author gets influences from somewhere or something. Lots of works can be linked back to the likes of Shakespeare, and he wasn't even entirely original himself. I think also a cliche like this exists mainly because it's realistic and relatable for the author and often their target audience.

My rambling aside, I found this to be a very enjoyable prequel.

@Heart-Of-The-Earth The artist has also drawn them side by side where J'Alter is maybe just slightly taller than S'Alter, https://twitter.com/saberchankawaii/status/1263110113625178112?s=20 there. J'Alter is 1.5-2 inches taller according to their canon heights, and the artist shows this off and is well aware in that side by side art. Just imagine for this particular piece of art that S'alter is leaning on something, standing on a step, or anything else you can think of. I think it's a really great shot and dynamic, so I'm fine imagining whatever makes the art work.

Why does this not have the incest tag?

Because for some it would be considered spoiling the twist.

Even with the tag there would still be a ton of people coming to complain about the incest. It happens every time. Personally I think it's best to think about a story as a whole and not reduce it down to basic parts, I don't think it's good to only focus on 1 theme or element that makes the reader uncomfortable. That's just me though.

There's incest stories on here from 2003, it's nothing new. I feel like I've said this a few times, but I'm always surprised that all these years later people still click on stories with the incest tag, and go "oh god that's weird". Somethings in life never change I guess.

If only couples could work out their problems as easy as that

Excuse me but, what?! How did they work out their problems? This entire relationship is bizarre, you don't go up to your partner and say "your gardening hobby is making me jealous, stop doing your hobby". That's very strange and hyper possessive, that in it's self is the biggest problem in this entire one-shot, and it's not in any way resolved by the end.

as a side note, I wonder how tf people can actually get off on nsfw manga. The cringey dialogue, fucked up anatomy, and over exaggerated orgasm scenes are too hilarious to take seriously

I mean it depends a lot on the artist like with regular manga. A good artist and writer can make super hot, steamy and even sweet lewd scenes. For myself I can rarely get off to 3D porn, it's just "too much" a lot of the time for me.

This, and it's also stimulation for the imagination. Everyone has their preferences and fetishes, plus artists work hard to make their works arousing to their target audience. Additionally not every art style is meant to be realistic.

I unfortunately knew the friend was going to die, the author telegraphed it in a really predictable way in my opinion. They built up the whole "oh we'll always be together" angle just for the sake of killing off one of the characters, because they wanted to add a depressing angle to the story. I enjoyed the one-shot a lot more because it was fun and didn't force sorrow into it.

The ending to this one felt like the love part was pretty out of left field. The author's other work on here "I beg of you" also felt like it had a weirdly abrupt ending. They have this kind of weird...style of writing, where the characters mostly feel kind like aliens. "I beg of you" also had themes of copying, and characters not understanding how to act like human beings. Not in a regular dramatized romance sort of way either, but more just that they act like they're from another planet and don't know even what a human is. It's very bizarre, I know some people call that "refreshing", but for me it's just baffling and not really enjoyable unfortunately.

Edit: Regardless, thanks for the translation! Also the April Fools version was really funny.

@Mimiyaah Thank you. I'm glad at least someone appreciates the series for what it is. Overall it's about Violet's growth and learning how to deal with the world, it's not "just" gratuitous tragedy and sorrow. The series has a positive message about surviving tragedy and sorrow, followed by moving on with life while remembering those that we've lost over the years. Which I think is a fantastic and powerful message.

The story is extremely muddled and all over the place. In my opinion sex can be fine, if the author wants to draw sex that's fine. It's just the author didn't really find any way to naturally include the sex, or make it feel like a proper part of the story.

As "bitfarb" said the sex was probably a way for the main character to release her desires and feelings. Which can work, I just think the author poorly conveyed that and didn't do it well.

However I think that was the biggest problem with the entire story, the sex wasn't so much a problem, as just the entire story not properly conveying any of it's ideas and it didn't properly execute anything. That said the art is well done at the very least.
