Enjoy!

Happy Queen's Blade 18th Anniversary!

And one more year happened for the series!

Today we got this rare official tweet, celebrating the series since 2005 and announcing a little project in the works because "next year will be the 20th [sic] anniversary". Still, despite the obviously wrong math, I guess it's good news?

For this year however, I suppose the only remarkable thing is that Queen's Blade Limit Break has started doing some event stories?
Limit Break also started doing collabs, as it did with Samurai Girls and as is now surprisingly doing with the mostly defunct Highschool Of The Dead (irony for a zombie series?).
For other collabs, we got Senran Kagura's, and we may get Ikkitousen's before the end of the year...?
Storywise, we also tried to get some QB prequel fanfiction going, but nothing has happened...

We'll have a cute anniversary pic commissioned by our Discord mod soon, too!

In any case, as is customary around these lands however, we tried asking our community for some swag QB pics to share!

This year around we got more pics from our pals, as in a couple from anscharius:



And one from bangkokslice:

Queen's Blade Short Stories: Bride with the Hair of Cherry - Ch 1b (2/10)

What happens when the mystery woman wakes up...?

There's indeed a pun towards the end that mentions "arubaito" (ie "temporal work"), which I had to turn into "ally"... oh well, I tried.

Enjoy!

Time for more shopping with Airi... but someone gets in the way?

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade Short Stories: Bride with the Hair of Cherry - Ch 1a (1/10)

On the subject of collabs, Limit Break x HOTD was confirmed by the jp account... but not by global, weirdly enough:



So here's the second story that I liked from the contest, posted here and penned by a Inouchi Kaiji. It took the 3rd place in the contest... though if you ask me, it easily deserved the 1st place too, I don't see how the 2nd place (a normal story about Ymir selling stuff helped by the Swamp Trio) compares.

I'm quite fond of this story, not only because of how poetic the title sounds (doesn't it? Can you guess which character it is about?), but also because, canon to the character in question, it's a story uniquely told from the point of view of "us" -- something only possible in writing.

This story is also way longer than Branwen's, I'm assuming it should probably take around 10 posts?

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade White Triangle: Airi Freetalks (8/11)

Hm, so regarding the possible Ikkitousen gacha collab this year, I thought we could see it any time now in November... but they seem to be in a 3.5 anniversary celebration, a few fellas around are talking about a "QB Limit Break x Highschool Of The Dead" collab into December... will we get the Ikkitousen collab in mid-December, or not get it this year at all...?

In any case, this time, Airi plays host to many guests at once...?

Enjoy!

Queen's Blade Short Stories: Branwen's Last Choice (3/3)

And here's the last part of Branwen's little tale, as she meets Usher...?

Hope you liked this literal winner of a story!



I guess we'll need to start the 2nd story next week, then?

Enjoy!
