If you were to look for "Useless Lesbian" in an encyclopedia, you'd see Adachi's picture right there.

I kind of wish there was an S-rank support for Shamir as female Byleth. At the same time I'm happy there isn't, as it kind of makes Shamir and Catherine's relationship more special.

I'm not sure you could reasonably call it cheating. There aren't three different Hecatias, there's one Hecatia with three different bodies. They're all the same person.

Ok but where's Edelgard in Dorothea's other outfit.

Is Mary her name in the japanese version? Or something like that? I haven't really followed Sw/Sh at all so I'm not too familiar. Last time I paid attention to these games was when the scottish pokemon trainer meme was a big thing.

Normally I wouldn't be able to imagine how someone could possibly not understand, but seeing as it's Kou I'm going to make an exception and just believe.

^^Commenting kinda late but you're totally right. Croix's expression in the last panel looks exactly like Calvin's dad.

@Donnerglut (and all) From what I understand, the flying classes in this one are all super strong. I know my Ingrid was nearly untouchable by the end of the game. Literally just getting attacked by 6+ people and never taking a hit from anything but the occasional spell, which she took no damage from because she had insane RES from being a pegasus knight. It was kind of funny to be honest, the last level took me a few tries until I just let Ingrid move up and tank everything. LITERALLY everything.

Also Edelgard would be well suited to wyvern lord with her axe skill. There's basically no reason to make someone something that isn't a mounted/flying class anyways, since you can dismount whenever you like and spears aren't inherently strong against mounted classes anymore. That was honestly my biggest gripe with the game, there was no real reason to use the non-mounted classes. Except for gremory that is. Gremory is insanely good.

I just can't get over how exasperated Nena is with these two. She only really has herself to blame for it too. It's just the best. Sasa and Umi's story was made so much better by Nena's presence. (Not that they're bad by themselves, just that Nena is the perfect foil to these two turbo-dorks.)

Strange... is it really incest? Why would she call her Ayana-san?

I know it's Mochi au lat, so it's a given that they are blood related, but the translation is awkward.

It is "san" in the original (although the name itself is something of a guess since no furigana was provided). Clearly this is because the loli demands respect.

... You do realize that "onee-chan/san" is often used to refer to young women even if they're not an older sister (whether of the speaker or of anyone else), right? It basically serves as the rough Japanese equivalent of the English "Miss"/"Ms." prefix.

I think you're going on a tangent here. I didn't deny the way the loli addresses the older one, but the reverse.

I very rarely (if ever) saw an older sister call her younger sister -san. It rather hints at another type of relationship, like a babysitter.

That it's an incest story is pure speculation based on the author's history.

Well, to be fair it's a pretty consistent history.

That Mr Isaak looked shady as hell.

Huh, really? He just looked like your standard kindly old man archetype to me. Were there any panels in particular that gave you that impression?

...Is this actually a superhero origin story? The editor's nefarious grin, Nikaidou's seemingly superhuman abilities...

It would make my earlier Spiderman joke oddly prescient.

Nikaido for guilty gear strive pls

I haven't played a GG game in ages but I'd buy that in an instant.

I have never successfully pulled a blanket over a sleeping person without waking them. Not once in my life. I refuse to believe she was asleep for more than the first panel. (Especially since her hand moves in the panel with the kiss.)

I read Hanamaru's reaction as "Don't wait! Touch that spot!"

That would be fine too.

Enterprise: Make it so.

@GrimEater Nah, Wakasagihime is just wet.

From being in the water. Obviously.

I guess Mami has a magic lamp under her skirt.

...That is what's happening here, right?

Well, we don't yet know the precise circumstances of how Harumi agreed to Chiaki's request. Volume 3 is apparently going to have an extra that continues their... "origin story" from the volume 2 extra.

That is, unless the raws for that are already out. If they are then everything I just said is moot. :P

^My guess is intentionally. She probably just likes hearing Diana tell people they're married.
edit: Taking a look at the artist's tumblr is an absolute joy, there's so much Diakko there and it's all amazing.

Kept you waiting, huh?

So happy to see more of Kashiwagi Tsukiko, I absolutely adore their work. I was never all that fond of Kotori til I read another doujin of theirs.
I really love their characterization of Nico as well. And I'm always up for something exploring everyone's lives after Muse. (That sort of thing generally only comes up in fanfiction, so it's great to see it in other mediums as well.)

Is there anything finer than a smug Maya? I think not.

@westartedafire I just want you to know that your joke was excellent.

As we all know, everyone is gay in Gensokyo. They probably figured something out a long time ago.
