^ I know, isn't it great? Gotta love age-gap reversals.

This is great. If you look at the follow-up tweets, it looks like Arc managed to kiss even more of Ciel than it seems

TBH the main reason I'm looking forward to the Tsukihime remake (if that ever comes out) is to see all of the Arcueid x Ciel shippers rise from the dead.

Oh god, I was not ready for Shinki to pop up.

Also I'm surprised this isn't the first Alice x Yuyuko picture.

RIP Medb. That probably would've worked on Skadi though.

You'll get there someday, you two dorks.

Speaking of Asbestos, here's a NSFW Asbestos x Magallan comic; it's by the same author as that Eyjafjalla x Ifrit comic from a few pages ago. Magallan tops lol

Also, in addition to the super classy Manticore skin the next Contingency Contract store will also have 15x Aketons, so you probably don't need to worry too much about farming them on TW-7 too much.

I'm also a bit surprised at everyone in the event thinking Mudrock's a guy, given how feminine her voice sounds. I'll just assume that it's a lot more muffled and androgynous through her suit.

The reason I was asking about W was just because she had a skin released. It's not a huge outfit change like some others, but it's nice and casual and I like it a lot. Also because I saw a funny picture of the skin on Twitter (spoilers for W's backstory, I guess)

Also, looks like the Asbestos and Tsukinogi banner's coming up along with the next CC. I've wanted Asbestos for a while, so I'm glad she's up next. Hopefully people jump on the Asbestos x Magallan ship lol

Are we allowed to talk about W without spoilers now that she appeared as playable in TW-S-2 and is literally dead center in the archives? https://i.imgur.com/t5Z8ZVe.jpg

Okay, so I tried the Oceanid again and it honestly wasn't as hard as I first thought. Fischl + Noelle + Kaeya + Xiangling beat it without too much issue; I think I was just intimidated when I first tried it after Fischl got killed in 2 seconds by those cranes' water attacks.

I'm still missing the last star for spiral abyss' floor 6 chamber 2 though, but I got really close on my last attempt - I just wasn't able to kill everything fast enough. I think I'll manage to get it next time; I finally got enough Wandering Troupe artifacts to complete a 4-set for Barbara, which should be a big help considering all the pyro slimes there.

I love the possessive look blondie's giving to us viewers - it's like she's saying "She's mine! Scram!"

It's bound to be a shocking experience.

^Literally!

Finally, top!Liskarm. Franka's gonna get eaten.

Progress? ah hell, never mind.

This is the first time Hana's admitted she's in love with Chiaki, even if it's only to herself. That's got to count for something, right?
Also I believe this is the first time in a while that Hana's outright refused to do what Chiaki asked. It seems that even after everything they've done, titty-slapping is just a step too far.

Here's a Rosmontis x Amiya pic. Also myrrhmidon, you've probably already seen them but here's an artist that only draws you OTP!

I ended up just going with a guide for the pseudo-annihilation stage; I honestly just don't have the patience nor intelligence to trial and error it by myself.

Wow, when you said the Oceanid fight was hard, you really weren't kidding. I'd only fought and beaten it twice before at an earlier world level without too much issue, but now that I'm on world level 5 it really seems ridiculously hard. Speaking of hard, I haven't been able to get 3 stars in all of the Spiral Abyss floor 6 chambers yet, though I've tried it a few times now. I think my main problem is not really having a well put-together team, considering there are videos of people clearing floor 6 (and further floors!) with considerably lower-leveled characters than I'm using.

On a different note, I've started playing the game with the Korean voiceover. It's pretty good IMO - Fischl in particular sounds like a giant dork with her battle cries lol.

Shuninta continues to deliver quality content. Their ability to perfectly fuse a classy, fun sense of sexiness with layered characterization and realistic interactions makes this series so much fun to read. I wonder what prompted Satou to leave? I get the feeling that she thought Cocoa was too pure and earnest to handle, and wanted someone more professional for her first time. I wonder how this'll influence Cocoa's approach to her trade- will she still try to maintain that wholesome image, but seek out compatible clients, or adjust herself to a more mature, confident aura? I honestly hope it's the former- the mix of wholesomeness and horniness is what helps this series so neatly sidestep many of the potential pitfalls around a prostitution-oriented series, and Cocoa finding acceptance and support in her job would be a lot more satisfying than seeing her trying to adjust herself to the whims and demands of a sex-starved clientele.

Isn't Satou supposed to be a repeat customer (or something like that)? I agree that the reason Satou left was because she didn't like Cocoa trying too hard, but I'm not sure if that's because it was Satou's first time. Not sure what's up with her.

Also, lol at Ryou being tsundere

This is good for my soul. I agree with everything Kirin and きらきら輝いた said; Reimu and Marisa being childhood friends makes them getting together in such a casual way feels...I don't know, natural? And Reimu still being flustered but still very much happy is very nice.

@Norainhere Thanks for the link to the web novel. It says its based off the LN - I will assume thats not translated?

No, some of the light novel is translated. Chapters for that can be read in the section labeled “Latest Release”.

Judging by the title and format, this is based on that "Crocodile dies in 100 days" manga where the author releases a new comic every day for 100 days. That said, I don't actually know if Kougi actually did make one comic a day since I can't find the raws. Either way, this is some dedication.

^ Where if anywhere can you read those 2 translated?

The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady is just one series with an absurdly lon title (like a lot of web novels and light novels). The light novel can be read here, and the manga version is already on Dynasty.

korokorokoroko's modern Edeleth outfits are great as always. Also poor Edelgard, but her expression here is somehow both cute and hilarious.

I'd love it if there were more translated isekai yuri novels, but tbh I don't really see enough of them for me to feel anywhere near tired of it. Is there any sites that host any Japanese web novels anyone knows of? I usually read Chinese web novels from jjwxc and there's toooons of yuri isekai-adjacent novels but I genuinely don't think I've seen many Japanese isekai ones that aren't gender bender.

I'm not sure just how popular it is, but https://syosetu.com/ seems to be the main Japanese web novel site - its where I Favor the Villainess was originally posted, probably alongside other light novels. Searching "Yuri + Isekai" got me 744 works, though I haven't read them at all so I can't comment on the quality.

Speaking of spoilers, if anyone's managed to make it to TW-S-1 and TW-S-2 stages you might've noticed a couple of new operators. Well, that's what happens when events are done out of order lol
Seriously, I want Darknights to come out already...

Okay nevermind, 塞雷娅 already beat me to that part.

^Really? I've mostly only seen fanart by Miiii and like one other artist.
