There was no one else to be concerned about though, so it's kind of moot. It's also overshadowed by how perfect Akira is for Mamori, which is another minus.

Ah, but if Mamori would really be smitten with Akira she could've gush over HeelHold's skill or how great team they make. The fact she thought of Mirei first speaks a lot of how important Mirei is for her.

And what Nevri said about orgasming on sight. That's really hard to overlook.

Eh, I think you guys are reading too much into it. I mean, if I were to orgasm after seeing a naked Jennifer Lawrence is because I'm a perv rather than in love with her.

Is probably the same stuff as it was with Rain and Lady J back on episode 3. Where the bond between them is strong enough to defy the conventional rules of Ecsta and Liberator. I mean, what Mamori did was no different to Rain kissing Mirei to transform.

Something that everyone seems to overlook is that Mamori's only thought after having beaten the villians of the week was Mirei's well-being, something that is a pretty clear indicator to me that Mirei has a special place on Mamori's heart.

Alternate version

Me like

No. There's simply many different kind of Ecsta and Liberators. You're right on thinking that both Mirei and Mamori are special though. They're (and Lady Lady) are like the Bhikkhuni's girls that are able to drive with anyone.

So...we are going to ignore the fact that Mamori...uh...got too exited at the mere sight of a naked woman?

Mamori's heterosexuality went down in flames today.

Is gonna be so fun when Momoka arrives

so... does she like... deflate those balloons- I mean, boobs... to pack em in when crossdressing?

Titty science.

It has already.

Akira is revealed to be a woman, a titty monster specifically

So having seen the subbed episode, I don't think Mamori deserves all the shit is getting. She really doesn't treat Akira differently and compared with Mirei, their interactions are clearly on the "Just friends" range.

Mamori didn't blushed when holding hands with Akira unlike the time she did with Mirei, she got involved on the hostage situation out of concern and sense of duty and she didn't even made a fuzz about driving when seeing Akira for the first time.

What is more, after beating the bad guys her first (and only) concern was Mirei's well-being.

She did kissed Akira but is just like when Rain kissed Mirei (and the characters even point it out).

There's an issue exactly because it's his characters. If it were some random artist, it'd just be fanwork, but he's a representative for this work as its author. Basically, it's an image issue.

I don't agree with what they're doing, but I can see where they're coming from.

Ogino is probably trying to make a statement here. iirc, he had watermarks of the official gamma logo on his pixiv.

You know what is the wierd thing? That Gamma ended back in 2013 and all that time Ogino's Pixiv was fine. It was until it was scanlated and thus it got recognition in the western yuri community that his Pixiv was suddenly killed, twice.

Well that took a while and I swear it wasn't just laziness but here's the Torino x Mei Feng doujin: here.
Feel free to report any f*ckups and once again thanks Nevri
I didn't edit in the sfxs in pages 7-9 because I didn't want to fill up the entire page with this things ->*sfx<- and I'm not confident enough in my editing skillz yet, it wouldn't look as good if I removed the original.

Fantastic! Thanks!

This episode delivered.

A little random but still good and heartwarming

Okay people, have some really cute fanart of Lady Lady

In the end the championship was taken away by her
You don't have to worry about this kind of thing

You will forever be No.1 in my heart

Rain....

But I really miss the canned peaches a bit
This year it wasn't canned peaches

That took a slight turn to depressing at the end

That was freaking adorable. Just what the doctor ordered.

From what I remember promo material said she was alive, and yeah a lot of animes show dead characters in OP and ED, but they show the character death in one episode, if the character is killed offscreen without anybody mentioning it again then it's not important enough to show in OP and ED, if Momoka was dead we would already know by now, Mirei or someone else would have talked about her.

Yep, since the moment her design was revealed it was pointed she was alive

That being said is obvious that Mirei thinks she's dead.

Anyways, here's what the first BD will include

Just see it like this. The American Film and Music industry hasn't been able to stop piracy despite being one of the most powerful and influential industries in the world. Japan might've busted some people, others will raise to take their place.

So, anyone knows if Ogino set a new Pixiv?

Promo materials let us know she was alive and she would arrive after Mirei and Mamori, plus you know, there is her appearance on both the OP and ED. All of which made clear she was alive.

Yeah, which is even worse. Really hate stupid drama like that..

While the execution remains to be seen, isn't as stupid when you take a good look at it. I mean, Momoka has been a very sore point for Mirei so her appearance is bound to cause some complications

Someone did a rough translation of the story bits in the interview

From episode 7 onward the story will become more connected and the story will grow to be more serious. Among them, the identity and goals of a certain character will be revealed alone the way, and Sagara Momoka that only appeared in the beginning of episode 2 in the flashback scene will finally arrive at the island. Mirei and Mamori partnership is going strong, but Momoka’s appearance will cause some kind of ripple. There will be development like “What? That girl and that girl gonna fight?” In the second half it will feels like they’re digging deeper into the island called Mermaid and Momoka. The girl that once shared a fate with Mirei, Momoka will scratch everyone not only in boobs-like but also human relation-like things. Mirei and Mamori were using boobs freely and they will be torn apart by boobs ……(笑)。 Since the screen might become pure white in the censored version, please enjoy the whole thing in the BD version and AT-X ver.

WELP

So, my worst case scenario coming to fruition I see. And here I held out hope. Guess I should know better.

If by worst case scenario you mean the one from the page before, it wasn't the case

You were assuming that Momoka's would appear on episode 9 when she's actually showing up this week

So there's this interview with Kaneko

http://hobby.dengeki.com/news/127387/

According to /a/ the biggest points of the interview are these:

Plot starts on episode 7
Mamori's seiyuu was too erotic, so Kaneko asked for more innocent perfomance
Iguchi also voiced a girl for Charlotte's harem
Kaneko chose Iguchi because her scream was the coolest
The sound when a girl transforms is made out for each extar by their seiyuu's
There will be scene when the screen will become white (not ATX)

I'm starting to think that the author doesn't has a plot in mind and is just improvising as he goes.

Ploy isn't earning any sympathy from me.

Raws are out

I...I need a translation for this one.
