Butt attack!  And it took me a second to realize that was her butt at the top of the panel.

The tentacle-haired color-shifting Luna Luna from the Queens Blade franchise of HobbyBase (the same people who who made the Seven Deadly Sins franchise).

Remember that Lady Belial costume which I said was the most ridiculous-ludicrous armor ever? Well, these are clearly EVEN MUCH MORE SO.

For Luna Luna is not trans, but a CIS woman who for some reason, prefers to wear a combination of purple-horn-codpiece (on her clitoris) with pearl-string-necklace (on her labia) as her regular underwear in place of a conventional panty. Later, they made her design less risque and more tame by getting rid of the pearl-string-necklace, but kept the purple-horn-codpiece and made it larger.

And this is NOT EVEN INTENDED TO BE A FORMAL PORN SERIES, BUT A FIGHTING-FEMALES SERIES.

Really? It’s not? o:

Do they really go into that much detail about her clothes and location that you know exactly where each part of that rests? o_o

This just seems uncomfortable, why even bother with “clothes” at this point?  They’d only get in the way o_o

I have questions.

My new PS4 game arrived in the post today (Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth), and after a moment of excitement I realised something had gone horribly wrong for the lady in the top left corner.

I guess having two Digimon try for a piggyback isn’t great for your spine, but really? I also can’t figure out what she’s wearing. At least she looks appropriately distressed by the situation.

Is she meant to be a digimon?  Eschermon? :D

So I saw that Girls X Battle ad somebody shared here.  The funny thing?  The in game art isn’t actually that bad for the cards….at least to me and according to what the wiki says.  Except for maybe these…er….few examples.

My favorite one is the glorious panty shot.

Some of those have already been on the blog before in this post:

I’m not sure if my favourite is the butt attack gun girl or the one who bravely rushed out of the changeroom before finishing pulling up her pants to join the fight.

Maybe it is just me but there are something wrong with Yang’s boobs and Weiss’ hip in the bottom right panel looks like it’s coming off. Also, are the poses necessary?

They are when you’re stuck in quicksand and being attacked from behind.

(Also massive tw for gore to anyone who checks this series out)

Maybe they aren’t running but being dragged by their breasts which have better survival instincts o:

(Also the tag runaway breasts has never been more apt xD)

It’s just a quick rough sketch … But the original cover bothered me so much I had to redraw it. I straightened her spine, shortened her torso, lined her rib cage, boobs and hips up, got everything pointing in more or less the right direction and made her stand up right.

Thanks for this!  And thanks for the breakdown!
