[hir]

Got home　an hour ago and worked out all the texts.
I'll leave all the image fiddling to the gurus in the forum...

Title: We upgraded your loli

1.
Emi: Whaaat my character design is completely changed?

2.
Emi: Oh Lily chan did you read the Katawa Shoujo Dev Blog?
Emi: Emi Ibarazaki is getting upgraded so the design gets closer to the actual age.
Lily: I'm sorry I haven't read it. Uh, I can't see so...

3.
Misha: It says they considered the dialog and matched the writing style. That makes sense as a character modeling.
Misha: So she says.

4.
Emi: Eh~? If I grow 3 inches my loli character attack power would be half lost~
Lily: ...What do you exactly intend to attack?

5.
Rin: Or maybe they're actually "giving consideration to juvenile pornography." I don't know to whom they are giving that though.
Misha: Eh? Agnes?
Emi: Agnes, right?
Lily: Is it Agnes?

(note: Agnes Chang, the prime advocate of anti-juvenile pornography)

Emi: ...Yeah right.
(note: Engrish for touch-typing)

That Hanako one bothers me :/

[Guest]

Thanks hir and kapparomeo

ありがとヒメノさん

[neumanproductions]

"Do you see what I See" is the funniest I have to say. And it's not just because it gives an excuse for groping Emi, i'm serious! Come on guys believe me!

[Merlyn_LeRoy]

Yes, thanks hir & kapparomeo.

Is the Pang/two a pun on pantsu?

[Linch]

NOT PANTS SO NOT EMBARRASSING

You know, considering the whole mechanical legs thing, I always figured Emi would be a Strike Witches fan.

[kapparomeo]

I've also completed page editing for the other three full-page comics as well, although owing to a poor connection I can't upload them right now. I'll put them up here tomorrow, but in the meantime this is just a note to let people know that they've been done, so we don't waste effort by duplicating work.

EDIT: As it happened, it didn't take as long to restore regular service as I feared. The three full-page comics follow:

[neumanproductions]

Oh my god, I just realized what is wrong with Rin's right leg in the 7th of February one. Man, she switched her toes around and has unnatural bending powers. Maybe there is truth to that Katawa Shoujo Superheros theory after all.
Haha Lolicon attack. You're puppy dog eyes still maintain 80% of their effectiveness.
And it seems that Rin has summed up Twitter in a box. Though I wouldn't be suprised if there was some sort of social network thing somewhere threw this story. Reminds me of that texting/cellphone thread a while back.

[ubergeneral]

yeah awesome. I wish there was more.

[EternalLurker]

BLARGH

FEET DO NOT WORK THAT WAY

[Linch]

Wow!!
didn't know rin's a contortionist. Geeeee~ o.o
