Five cookies say the kind hearted cat lover is the roommate.

Is possible a lot of those VAs are merely pseudonyms. Word on street is that "Mandy Lane" is in fact Morgan Garret

Drama CD? Audiobook?

It cracks me up how Ogino made every single girl in the manga a raging lesbian via bonus art.

Like, I think the only straight woman is Discharge's wife.

JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA

Unfortunately, even after the girl intervenes, Mamori’s attackers refuse to let up. Just when they think all hope is lost, Mirei and Mamori share a passionate kiss that turns the little “mermaid” into a powerful sword in this new show from series composer Yousuke Kuroda (High School of the Dead, Mobile Suit Gundam 00) and ARMS studio (Ikki Tousen, Queen’s Blade, Elfen Leid).

Shuninta needs to either lay off the drugs or share them.

How long until Yuu can't contain herself and she jumps on Toukou's bones?

Gotta love the subtle jealousy from the mom.

Good to know I wasn't the only one confused

I know it might looks weird here and there. I couldn't spend much time on this. I tried to get another translator to check it but real life got in the way. I really wanted to let everyone read it before this year end so here we are. We'll request any fixes to be uploaded later.

Ohhhh, that explains why the translation felt stilted at times (and the sudden change of pace at the middle didn't help either). Thanks for your work all the same though!

Just the buff blonde

I need to re read Gamma but I'm pretty certain she is someone's sister, I think she also uses crutches.

Aw man, really is that how it ends?

I'm unreasonable mad at Maiko having black hair in the B&W pages and Brown on the color ones

Aside of that, neat coda for the series.

Aw crap, Mana Wara had one member of her family hospitalized and couldn't give as much focus to Bhikkhuni's Bikini Party Edition as she would've liked. According to GT at least

My family member has been discharged from the hospital safely, and it seems that the year-end and new year will be greeted calmly as it is.

During November - December, I was busy with the hospital coming and going, and I wasn't able to take a break.

It was that I could hardly proceed with making a new comment page of "Valkyrie Drive Bhikkhuni" http://manaweb.net/ja/art/valkyrie-drive/

I will write so it will be late for publication this year, but I will write to Mr. Marvelous

"I want to make a making of commentary page for Bhikkhuni!"

"Ok"

Because I was replying, I was sneaking up under the surface of the water secretly.

However, as soon as the hospital procedure started, something started, it stopped.

I will write so it will be late for publication this year,

Although I got the OK with a lot of time (> _ <.), I feel happy. In January the full version of Bhikkhuni will be released and I love it so much that I'm thinking I should be able to do something for those who like Bhikkhuni as much as I do ^ ^

Just a heads up people, Ogino Jun has uploaded quite the lewd Gamma pictures on his twitter

Plus Yurika is currently working on a lesbian brothel.

All the girls at the college were straight tho

Great subversion with the mom, they're so screwed though.

Well worth the wait for this chapter

I wasn't expecting that

You know, in the end Blizzard played it safe. Almost disappointingly so.

Unless they introduce in game interactions making reference to Emily, the whole thing won't be nothing more than a footnote in the great scheme of the things, much other elements introduced already on the comics (does anyone remember or cares about Phara's squad mates?)

Something really impressive would've been to actually reveal Tracer's orientation by making her be in a relationship with another hero. Or hell, they would've simply gone the Bioware route and made everyone potencial romantic interests so the audience could've picked whichever they like the most.

Aztec lore is wonderfully messed up.

Thing is, according to their tradition the world and everything on it was created through flesh and blood offerings from the gods and thus, they saw it as simply returning the favor with their own. The only god that refused that arrangement was Quetzalcoatl. Who was also known to be mostly celibate after the two affairs he had ended badly: one ended with his girlfriend ripped apart by star demons and the other was his sister. This knowledge makes Coala's characterization amusing though.

Blizzard has been telling us for weeks now that LGBT characters will be confirmed soon. That confirmation came today in the form of Overwatch's "Reflections" comic that showed Tracer in fact has a girlfriend - or at least a woman with whom she is romantically involved.

http://www.gamerevolution.com/news/tracer-confirmed-to-have-a-girlfriend-in-overwatch-reflections-comic-lesbian-lgbt-38691#u8ewLZxmeEo3Ehmw.99

So there's that. Anticlimatic though.

The fallout for this among the fanbase (particularly the more "extreme" shippers) will be more interesting than the reveal itself.

Fun chapter although my inner archeologist couldn't help to feel miffed about the TN pointing Xochiquetzal as Coala's friend. See, Xochiquetzal is more of a femininity and sexuality goddess (think Aphrodite) than a flower one. There is in fact no aztec that fits the idea presented in the manga but going by the description of "flesh" I'd wager the author was thinking on Xipe Totec, god of the harvest and that is depicted as a skinned man that renews his skin every year with the season.

Bonus bit of trivia, people sacrificed to Xipe Totec were skinned alive and their skins were then turned into costumes that were worn by Xipe's priests, who danced until the skin rot to ensure a bountiful harvest for the coming year.
