Do we have any word on Kibayashi's manga yet? Wasn't it supposed to release this month?

I hope Oboro places high again! It was awesome how well she did in the Famitsu poll. I'm voting for her everyday. That pisses me off about the figmas, but I'd be okay just having a cute little Marx on my desk too.

Voting once from my computer, once from my roommate's computer and once from my phone. That's about 3 votes a day for Xander and Oboro. I think they'll do well regardless, though.

Yeah I agree, we already had a Royal DLC, there should be a separate poll with no royals.

I really wish they would wait until the game's English release before doing these polls.... It doesn't seem fair that a huge audience of theirs is being shut out unless they go seeking out this poll. Then, Marx would win in a landslide.

Marx and Lazward for guys Oboro, Hinoka and Elise for girls.

So how about Aqua? There's kind of a doozy right there. Here's a little questionnaire: 1. Is Aqua/Azura extraneous to the story? Is she stealing Kamui's story away or can she be incorporated into the story, if written better? 2. If you think she has a place in the story, what would you do?

I'm currently writing a character in an original fiction of mine who is in quite a similar situation to Marx and I'm trying to devise plausible reasons for his loyalty, so this question is quite interesting to me. What were you thinking about to "make it work?" To me, Marx has some personal attachments to Garon being his son and remembering him for the kind father he used to be. In a lot of ways I think Marx behaves similarly to the child of an alcoholic or abusive parent who despite the terrible behavior of their parent feels a sense of misplaced/confused loyalty and a need to "protect" or "save" the parent. Also, if Nohr is in such disastrous straits Marx may feel Garon's brutality is justified in order to save the country; he sees it as disturbing, but pragmatic. A necessary evil so to speak. I'm interested in hearing other reasons as well.

So has anyone actually put together outlines for their rewriting? I'd love to see them. So many good ideas going around!

I completely agree. That Rinka!Shinomone is just... a work of art.

Hahaha! I feel the same way about Xander. I should never have had an option. we are all disgusting sinners.

Yeah, I can see that. I guess I'm a fan of mid-length hair. To be honest, they are both wonderful. Anyway, back on topic. Is anyone making holy weapons for the sisters? I always thought it was such BS how the girls got completely skipped.

me too. make love not war right? new fourth path option when.... "Help Hoshido defend their birthright." "Assist Nohr in their invasion." "Go to crazy upside down land." "Arrange a strategic marriage between two siblings on either side."

That's hilarious! I wonder how it'll be localized. Oh Ryoma...thinking you can compare your hair to Marx's. now dearie what were you thinking. oh goodness... your comic is either going to end very badly or very, very well. also, I think I might have seen this before on tumblr, but not on your blog, make sure people aren't stealing it!

What happens in chapter 18? I've only read summaries, haven't played the game. crack AU? tell me more.
