Chibis are the best! Great post Maids!

Indeed. :3

Chibi Eva' is pretty amazing, though there's just something about the Chibi Setsuna that gets me all "MOEing" away.

Here's another:

No no, chibi fox-girl Negi and chibi-Chiu were the best. :)

I'm tagging Jekyll-and-Hyde's new image, as Ayaka's new costume is not safe for work (unless you work in a Las Vegas casino). It directly references manga Volume 16's cover.

Anonymous posted a scan of Volume 16's cover on 4chan. Here it is:


O.K. That can't be comfortable. There must be glue involved.

Looks like someone (a.k.a. Ken) forgot the realities of tailoring again.... shocked.. yes, shocked I am :)

On another note, Asuna looks like some Scotswoman gone powersuit o.O

third note: um whoa, is that Nodoka on the back with the witch outfit and firearms? :)

lol, there definitely must be either glue or double-sided tape working overtime. Wardrobe malfunctions galore otherwise. :heh:

I actually think that looks like Seat 2, Akashi Yuna.

One could only think of how Del Rey would use that cover n_n...

Anyways... She's a Minor Character, but... I would like to see more Mei.

I saw a cover of a magazine (I forgot to save it) with the same Asuna, Negi and Ayaka image and the area around her chest is actually white, implying that she is wearing something.

Maybe there's some lighting or colouring issues with that manga cover or Ken just wanted to give more fanservice. Who knows? :x

Interesting.... that would actually make a hell of a lot more sense than the "showgirl" version --- which is completely out there compared with every other cover.

Hmm, there's almost zero difference between the pink of the outfit and her skin....
(flips a coin to determine if someone is just messing with the fans or if there was some confusion in the color department)

If that *is* correct.... then I suspect Del Rey may be adding a "colorful hardstock cover" on top of the book inside its shrinkwrap (ala those little ad things I'm always losing off of the japan edition manga).

That was on one of the magazine cover :

Thanks for the pics Maids!x3, needs more ecchi tho ;]

OMigodz, Maids..... these are "teh w1n"
Well, most of them are very good actually.... :)

That part was intended to be skin.

As for Del Rey, I assume this will be fine considering how you can still see Kazumi's panties in the volume 12 cover.

In good old Prude-Land... there's a massive difference between a minor lingerie pic and 99% boobage revelation .... "think of the children!"

((of course, I'd rather the children be seeing boobage than gore here in Opposite-land))

Out of curiousity... where does your information that it was intended to be skin come from?

I came across an artist's site, and he appears to be addressing the Showgirl Warrior Ayaka breastplate issue. I can't read it, but maybe some kind, Japanese literate person could help out.

Scroll down to his 10-6-06 entry.


Possibly, he's knows something. The third image he posted (above) seems to address the issue directly. I can't tell if we're seeing coloring instructions, or someone is simply making a comparison.

Maybe he knows something. Again, I can't read it, so I can't really offer an opinion.
