Vanquished Queens 3 (1)

Edit (12-01): Replaced pics with leveled versions, less color-faded.

First, I posted one more chapter of Alice's novel! (proofreader help still wanted!)

For last poll about the anniversary, an OVA, a video game and more Grimoire won with 20v-23%, 15v-17%, 13v-15%, a double tie between more Gate and VQ at 9v-10%, then more manga, more promotional art and more concept art with 7v-8%, 5v-5% and 2v-2%. Other options included a Shizuka book (oh, don't we all), more figures and statues (don't they do a lot of those?), all of them (well, yeah), and more Cattleya (that was refreshingly specific).
Then next poll is about Airi; she won evil trio best buddy last time, so what's your take on her anyways?

And we finally start VQ3, about tiime~! My pal gave me these 3 pics as a download link too, so I might as well post it, since Blogspot's resizing is always ludicrous...
So we start with Melona's debut. But what a debut, dude! Leave it to F.S. to go well above and beyond the line of duty and get crap past the radar! (as the cool kids say) And I don't just mean... (see the end of the post for a hint)

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade Anniversary : Commissions

Spiral Chaos Freetalks: Junko (2 of 2)

So for more Alice stuff, I posted the whole chapter 1 there at Baka-Tsuki, battle at Moscow! My pal complained about it needing more polishing, so just blame little old me for getting impatient~

Also VQ3 was released and sold out in major online stores in just a day, the cover does say "everybody loves it", doesn't it :3

As for the poll, in the end the winners were Eroquis, Masamune Shirow, Ogure Ito, Inazuma and Rebis, with 11v-16%, 10v-15%, 10v-15%, 9v-13% and 6v-9% respectively. Tosh and Yui Toshiki tied at 3v-4%, then Kotoyoshi Yumisuke with 2v-3%, then a multiple tie with Yamatogawa, Shiwasu no Okina and Amazume Ryuta at 1v-1%, and Sawao dead last with 0 votes. Still, there were many other authors suggested, so I guess we're up for another poll like this soon.
So next poll, how's your stance on monster girls? Ain't them all the rage lately?

Now, will Jean and Junko come to realize their love... or something?

Enjoy!

Next: Leina!

Queen's Gate Vol 1: Prologue (part 3)

And here's the prologue's last part! Things are just getting interesting~

Btw, if you were wondering what the "Flechette Needles" Alice used earlier were like, they're probably similar to this recently invented bullet.

It's the time for a certain cheerful rival to shine?

Enjoy!

Queen's Gate Vol 1: Prologue (part 2)

Quite a "sui generis" "in medias res" we started with last time, right? That's kinda our author's style, but fortunately he explains things a bit in this part.

So, we left a girl in a diver suit (is she Alice?) fighting some nasty monsters, but what is she after?

Enjoy!

Queen's Gate Vol 1: Prologue (part 1)

Update (05-05): Oops, two sentences starting with <> were missing at the beginning, my bad. Oh, and changed the post's title, or else the numbering wouldn't match later, tehehe.

So, remember years ago when I said I'd never be able to translate this? Well thanks to the inestimable help from our friend Gabriel, who went and transcribed the first book whole, this is no longer a pipe dream. So here it is, this time for reals, the start of the first chapter of the QG novel!

We'll begin with the prologue, proofread by our trusty Final Agent, and see how it goes from there.

Enjoy!
