Bhikkhuni will get a rerelease at discounted price and 100 DLC items included from the get-go. Mirei and Mamori are still sold separately.

At least the new cover is pretty neat.

No lie, I like it more than the one for the Liberator Edition

The new Paradise swimsuits are great

Someone pointed out to me that the Siren, Mermaid and Bhikkhuni swimsuits were also Paradise swimsuits like these ones. So potentially we finally know the names of the final two islands in the series: Lorelei and Otohime.

Hah, GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

By the way, the scanlator fixed two small mistakes on chapters 2 and 4

Chapter 2, Page 2

Fixed an awkward dialogue in the first panel

Chapter 4, Page 16

One speech bubble in the final panel had the dialogue unaligned.

Does it have manga?

It does have a manga adaptation but only raws of the first chapters showed up on the net.

I really need to read this series from the beginning. So many characters that I'm already forgotten.

That said, pretty cute chapter even if the start was irritiating with the "Do I like her?" bullshit.

Well, I'm impressed.

Introducing some silly misunderstanding conflict and being resolved that fast. Really looking forward to see how the story develops but as long they keep avoiding the usual pitfalls of the romance genre it should be fine.

Chapter 4

From what I've seen, is similar to Touhou. The characters only have really defined their personality and backstory, everything else is a white canvas for the fans to go nuts with.

Aw man, did the LE get sold out again?

Seems is still available

My Vita died.

Aw shit.

Been awhile since I've saw this pic. Shame that Yohane didn't do more SK fanart.

Better than nothing. And who knows? Hopefully it will be popular enough to be serialized.

Seems he's finally back with a new yuri story

Tentacles !!! Really ! Urgh !
I hope the game will be better than that <__< .

I got a good laugh out of Manpakumaru's reaction but no, nothing of the sorts in the game.

Aerodog and Inu are different pen names for the same artist. I think Aerodog is how he goes in doujin circles and Inu in official works.

That was pretty damn nice.

Despite the story beginning being pretty cliche, the actual development was more interesting and well thought than that. Thank you for the translation.

So, is the series finished in Japan already or is still going?

Personally I thought it was adorable how hurt Viola was that Koharu didn't took the bait.

Bhikkhunhi will be released on October 11 in America, September 30 Europe

Yeah, here in Bhikkhuni the Liberator will always get the same weapon regardless who their partner is. Although according to the prowess of the Ecsta, they can achieve different upgrades for said weapons.

And indeed, the Bhikkhuni cast is infected with a rare strain called VR-Virus. That is why they are able to be either Ecstar or Liberators.

Every time we post a new chapter, and people start commenting, it makes me wonder if people actually like this series, since there are so many negative comments, lol.

I do enjoy the series and I appreciate the work you guys put into translating it but I can't help to poke fun at the multiple cliches that show in the plot.

Deja-vu anyone?

While it is true this is a companion piece for the game, I think it can be easily enjoyed on its own. Since is basically just fluff pieces to explore the game's setting and the characters a little more, so the only thing you really need is to be familiar with the basic concept of the franchise.

The only exception is chapter 5 since it drops a pretty important reveal fr both Bhikkhuni and Mermaid.

That said, I'm enjoying the character interactions a lot. The girls are just so adorable.

Amusingly, on /u/ Bhikkhuni went from being a "shitty waifubait SK clone" to "better than Mermaid" as soon it was confirmed that yes, the girls are really, really gay.

Surprisingly appropriate combo of post and avatar right there bonkball

Anyways, the story continues to be hilarious and is so over the top and in your face that I doubt the author is playing it straight. The whole thing is downright parodic.

Chapter 2

And Chapter 3

Gotta love how Rinka just now is wondering what it would be to intimate with anyone else beside her blood-related sister

It depends on what are you looking for. Bhikkhunism is mostly to expand on the girls' personalities and fill some holes of the game's narrative. For example, chapter 2 explains why one of the girls is dressed like a maid and a later chapter reveals a pretty interesting connection to Mermaid's bad guys.

I guess is more accurate to wonder if Bhikkhuni will top Mermaid as whole.

That was surprisingly anti-climatic
