Yuri Mania 25

Gokigenyou! I can't believe I've been saying that for a year now! Yes, it has been a year since I started these yuri posts on my blog. Though it was never been a regular thing here, the Weekly Lily series that started at dannychoo.com and now figure.fm has been going on regularly without missing a beat, even if I've posted near midnight (PST) on Sunday. ^^;



I believe I haven't fully explained what yuri is when I started this, I had assume a lot of you know already and instead I just leave a quick link form Wikipedia to make the story short... But I should really fully explain it, from my point of view at least. Basically it's a genre in anime, manga & other media that involves a romantic relationship between two or more girls. Yuri can also be called shoujo-ai or girls love. In North America, the two terms indicate whether the story involves sexual relationship or not. Shoujo-ai is the more common stories that come out in North America and on Japanese television, such as Maria-sama ga Miteru (Maria Watches Over Us), Kashimashi and Strawberry Panic. A lot of what I post ranges from the innocent love of shoujo-ai to the most extreme yuri... However, to make it easier, I put everything into one easy category, "Yuri"; since it is the term more people are used to and it's shorter & easier to say.

Now "yuri" can also mean the flower "lily". So a lot of my own yuri 4koma comics have smatters of lilies in them. It's a great wordplay for other series too, such as Hidamari Sketch. So remember that yuri = lily ^^

For a while now I've always replaced a lot of the risque scenes with the infamous lily panels, but since this is a special occasion, I shall do something special...

The Melancholy of Saber Lily Part 31

If you've browsed my blog well enough I'm sure you've encounted Aldora... If you know her then you know why Saber Lily's got a shocked face in the end there ^^; All in all it was quite fun positioning Haruhi and Saber Lily in those compromising position... But sure was hard to put them in said positions... I was considering putting a transparent lily over these panels, like the first picture of this post, but I think it looks better this way. I asked a few people about the transparent lily on Twitter, but I think I didn't make it clear enough. Thanks for the opinion though! This is one of the only times I will do this, lol.

These two 4koma were actually something I came up real quick... Though perhaps this next one may have a lasting effect throughout the whole series...

The Melancholy of Saber Lily Part 32

Dun-dun-dunnnnn! Evil is afoot! Ok, I'm pretty sure a lot of you can guess who this is, lol. So we shall see where this takes us... A new storyline is born! Stay tuned!

These two have been posted on The Melancholy of Saber Lily site, where you can read the previous installments as well.

Uh-oh... somebody's pissed... Time to jet! See you next time folks! Gokigenyou!

Nekomimi Kanu Unchou ~Pink Ver.

Nyaa! Nekomimi mode desu! It's Ikki Tousen's fiercest warrior, Kanu Unchou, with a cat ears, cat paws and tail slapped on her along with a pink uniform! This was one of the figures I've been hunting for. I was looking for the blue uniform one, but when Toylet had their recent sale, I jumped the chance to own this cutie kitty even if she is pink. =^.^=

Griffon's figures is a hit and miss, but they do make a lot of Ikki Tousen figures and some of them are quite nice just for the gimmicks. At 50% off I didn't find any reason not to get this one. And if you haven't figure out from the first picture... this post is kinda NSFW...

Griffon 1/8 Kanu Unchou Nekomimi Version ~Pink

Of course the first thing you notice is her pantsu exposure... Not very subtle, but I'm more focused on the cute face and nekomimi, and maybe loose socks. Her pantsu is secondary. Really...

Face towards the camera... She's got that 'come hither' look.

I'm a little worried about the stray hair around her because when I put the mini Ryuubi neko it felt like it could snap some of the hair strands near her. The hair at the bottom is just flat so that it can support the figure.

Really love the socks... I don't have a really good setup with the lighting so the pantsu might be overexposed by the light... Bad choice of words? :P

I know Griffon doesn't have the best figures, but Kanu's waist bending looks gorgeous! Very good details.

Here are her neko paws. Let's pause for a moment and enjoy this view...

A close up of Chouhi, the small catgirl on Kanu's shoulder. After playing Ikki Tousen: Eloquent Fist, Chouhi has become one of my favourite Ikki Tousen girls along with Ryomou and Kanu. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of figures of Chouhi and the ones that exist aren't that great. I really love her Kansai accent in the game.

On another note... isn't it kinda creepy that the eyes are there but not really there. Should I go take a Gundam Marker and make a panel line Chouhi's eyes?

And here's a close up of chibi neko Ryuubi. She has those weird eyes too, but at least she's got a glasses thingy on.

She reminds me a lot of Puchiko from Digi Charat... so I took a picture of her with Puchiko. The resemblence is uncanny!

"What are you doing copying my looks, nyu?"

A close up of the... tail... Looks delish no? I was going to do a macro shot of the pantsu straight on, but I decided to go with the tail shot :P

The skirt can be removed, but then you'll lose the tail too... Not too mention the skirt was covering the bad torso and waist connection.

Shitapai! The under cleavage is a bit too much though... I mean it's so close that nipples should be visible! But this is definitely true to Kanu's art style.

A panchira of Chouhi! She's got loose socks too! Oh c'mon somebody please go make a good figure out of her! Don't you want my money???

The display base is laughable... this probably the only good quality thing about it. If I display her, I'll most likely do it without the base.

This is a nicer base from another nekomimi figure, Louise. I have her on display without it because I thought I could have some fun with this shag carpet lookalike ^_^ She looks pleasing on this base, yes?

Oh, but who's that coming up behind her?

Ah it's another nekomimi girl...

No, wait... that's no nekomimi!! That's... ALDORA! And she's ready to pounce on this little kitty!

That watermark placement seems so wrong, yes?

Kanu is wondering what's happening behind her...

Kanu: "Is it in yet?"

IF (I emphasize on the "if" here) anyone wants the above picture as a wallpaper, let me know and I'll resize it to your display XD And if you do use it as a wallpaper, I want a screenshot of it :P The above picture is at 1600x1200.

Full Moon! AWOOOO!

Chouhi: "What's she doing to you onee-chama, nya?"

I really love this angle... So what would you call this? Demon bestiality futanari fetish?
