I would imagine it’s because she was already doing DAL. The books for both series were usually written/illustrated at the same time, so it would have doubled her workload, and realistically have been logistically impossible.

Maybe a compromise would have been for her to design Inverse Kurumi first, and then have NOCO just illustrate it based off that design where necessary. |

We have no proof that wasn't the case. Furthermore, the Astral Dress could have been altered because of Sawa.

Oh, that's news to me. When did she make that announcement? Do you have a link in English? Did she cut ties with Compile Heart? Last I heard she was still willing to illustrate for the next work written by DAL's author.

I also remember someone on this forum saying that "Tsunako thinks revealing (clothing) designs are cute." Inverse Kurumi's Astral Dress is decidedly not revealing. |

For DAL’s 10th anniversary, Kadokawa is releasing several new goods featuring a new Tohka amd Kurumi illustration, and several other new items based on old illustrations and images.

That’s not to say she bears them any ill will, mind, she’s just working freelance in a reduced capacity. I believe she said she might work for CH in a reduced fashion as a freelancer, but not as often or to the same extent, that she did before. You can think Noco designed her, but that doesn’t mean it’s true. Tohka, Origami and Yoshino’s Inversions don’t involve someone completely unrelated fusing with them and taking command of their powers, which could easily be the reason for the difference. And yes, it was me that said that - but the concept for the design comes from Tachibana. So if he says ‘formal military uniform’ and Tsunako did, say, four designs of varying levels of undress, then he could either say they’re all too revealing, or simply pick the least revealing one. The whole ‘evil = skimpy’ thing comes from Tachibana, not Tsunako, and it is entirely possibly that he decided to ignore it for Queen - either because she’s not ‘Kurumi’s kinda evil alter ego’, but Sawa, or perhaps because of some reason relating to the fact that Kurumi’s base settings predate DAL. It should also be said that, as someone who finds revealing designs cute myself, I’d also have preferred a different design for ‘Inverse Kurumi’. But, like it or not, this is the design, and even if Noco did design it, rather than Tsunako, it’s still Tachibana that would have signed off on it, so if he didn’t tell her to make it more revealing (and Noco is no stranger to revealing designs either), then this is the vague idea he had in mind, so Tsunako’s would have been barely different. Tsunako’s Queen would likely have been as different as Noco’s version of Kurumi is. A better thing to pine for might be ‘an Inverse Kurumi who isn’t really Sawa’, but then, if the design is different because Kurumi predates DAL, and so Tachibana had something else in mind, then not even that would have changed anything. If they do a second art book, and that art book has other Inversions in it, then maybe we’ll get to see Queen in Tsunako’s style, or a ‘Sawa-less Inverse Kurumi’ design. It’s unlikely, but the chance isn’t completely nil.

Yeah, it’s no coincidence that the first artbook covered exactly half of the main story volumes.
Who knows when the second artbook will come out though..... T.T

As for when this was announced...years ago now, so I’m afraid I can’t give you a date offhand. EDIT: It was late November/early December 2018.

That’s assuming there is one. While I, too, hope there is one, there has never been a statement that anime = game, nor has one for DALIV been confirmed either. The fact that every other animated work (sans Date A Bullet) received one certainly implies we might get one...but on the other hand, Tachibana was still writing the novels at the time. He has now moved on to a new series (not that it’s out yet), and the thank yous and goodbyes at the end of V22 would feel a bit odd if there was another character planned and that wasn’t mentioned, seeing as Ren was mentioned. Of course, there could always be a game without a new heroine. In any case, while one would be nice, one certainly isn’t confirmed. It’s up to each individual to determine whether they want to be optimistic or cynical with regards to the chances of us getting one, but, ultimately, it bears remembering that that is all it is - a chance. Past evidence suggests one outcome...but things have changed since then, so who knows if the precedent they set still counts? I, personally, prefer to be cynical - that way, in the event we get one, I can be pleasantly surprised...but then, I’m also constantly depressed, so perhaps not the best one to talk.

I jus5 started playing Fantasia Bunko’s Fantasia Re:Build game recently, and I gotta say I’m pretty hooked. All of the spirits from DAL up to the end of season 3 are there, and of course all the other hit Fantasia Bunko titles are there too. I really love crossover stuff like this, and are:Build even has the VAs coming to voice crossover dialogue between the different series, such as Tohka talking with Lina Inverse from Slayers and Sousuke from Full Metal Panic talking with Glen from Rokudenashi Akashi Records.
But I have to say, my favorite crossover dialogue is definitely between Miku and the other girls of the game. Megumi Hayashibara is her same genius self in Lina Inverse’s dealings with (and escapings from ) Miku, and interactions between Miku and the recently event-introduced Natsumi from Tokyo Ravens are gold. I imagine her interactions with Tessa from FMP will be just as great if I ever unlock Tessa’s character. (which you need to do to get access to all dialogue involving each certain character). And you can play all the dialogue whenever you want through each character’s dialogue menu. Miku continues to be the amusing character I love her for.

Dragon Magazine’s July issue is going to have a new DAL short story titled Itsuka Partner.
https://twitter.com/KoshiTachibana/s...e-anime.com%2F So aside from Tachibana still writing short stories for DAL, it says Shidou actually chooses a wife! The thing is, everybody already knows it would be Tohka, so why the whole “who is going to be Shidou’s lovely bride?” line. It makes me wonder if it’s a semi-takeout and we’re going to see some kind of dream/alternate reality thing, or something like that, where we see him marry each of the girls. But that would be a pretty long story and not a short one. It just has me curious.
