From the Akito thread:
It looks like the new twin tails girl in the Britannia royal family picture is from an upcoming GREE social network game: http://games.gree.net/?action=preope...p&app_id=59964 The official name of this game appears to be Code Geass: Maelstrom of Libra. Not that there's any chance I'll get to play this, but I figure it was worth mentioning. ---- ---- Separately...for the curious, I believe this was in one of the previous scans about Oz, but they've finally uploaded it to the website. http://www.hobbyjapan.co.jp/hobbyjap.../special3.html It's a two part interview between Eiji Nakada (mecha designer/animator), Goro Taniguchi (director) and a Sunrise representative.

Here's this month's Oz manga chapter summary.
Spoiler for Oz Manga Ch 15 Summary (Extended):
Spoiler for Oz Manga Ch 16 Summary:
Just like that photo story chapter where the Oldrin side characters appeared, it seems that this manga chapter focuses on the Orpheus side. It seems to occur after the third photo story chapter, but there will probably be discrepancies again between the manga and photo story like during the first battle in the Middle East. (Also, does anyone else think of a certain girl with glasses at the mention of a "new model bomb" in Area 11...? The following text also seems to lend credence that this involves the FLEIA bomb.) Also, here's the translation on the info gordrol provided: Quote:

Huh, looks like they're starting to preview unpublished chapters in the photo story-exclusive website. I wasn't going to bother with the summaries there, but since they went to the trouble of this, I'll translate it from now on as well. Here's a preview of next month's chapter.
Spoiler for Oz Photo Story Ch 16 Preview:
Also, to answer Kurohane's question, the ones responsible for the manga and photo story are different people. Obviously some amount of collaboration is present, but it seems like they each take care of the finer details on their own, which lead to discrepancies popping up. (For instance, in the photo story, Orpheus meets Wizard for the first time during the battle in the Middle East, but in the manga, it is suggested that he already knows him. The way that battle plays out is also vastly different between the two versions, though that can't be helped perhaps, since photo stories usually give only minimal detail in describing scenes, while the manga can visually show much more kinetic and drawn out scenes, especially in battle.) There is also a discrepancy between the photo story and Akito the Exiled when one chapter briefly crossed over with the events in the OVA movies. Because of this, I usually consider the manga as the main canon with the photo story as semi-canon; just consider anything that doesn't directly contradict events in the manga or the rest of canon as true, leaving aside the parts that do as the "author's personal interpretation/preference in story writing". |

Updating on the Code Geass: Maelstrom of Libra social network game, they've launched a website with more information:
http://codegeass.bngames.net/ From what I can tell, they might be connecting this to Oz as well since they mention Peacemark and Pluton, etc. |

Just some interesting info from that HJ staff interview:
-Nakata talks about possible pre R2 KOR custom mechs. They would use Sutherlands and Gloucesters as base. Gino's would have large boosters and a scythe like weapon for high speed irregular pattern attacks. Waltefled's would use a huge sword but would need reinforced legs and better balance. Just wishful thinking for now I wish this would happen since OZ was supposed to be CG version of MSV but all we're getting now are lame recolors besides 6 or so original designs... |

If you take a close look, the blonde haired girl's character design resembles Alice from Nightmare of Nunnally. Based on her uniform in the game's screenshot, looks like she's from the Geass Order.
