We have fangirls (all female) who supposedly would want to kiss Nina (a female) who is cosplaying as Talan (a male) who is Bishounen (so he looks female). And Kevin's okay with this? To the point of actively trying to make it happen?

I don't know what it is about this situation (besides the "ambiguous gender" of Talan and a cross-playing Nina), but I just find it sort of creepy. So when I saw Kevin's reaction, I just assumed that he was strange for liking that creepy stuff.

Eh.

Oh God, that just takes the ickiness level through the roof. Now I'm going to have nightmares for sure. If I'm not on the forums tomorrow, look for me cowering in my wardrobe with a blanket on my head (if I'm not throwing up in the bathroom).

Yuck.

I don't think Nina will be believable as Talan-sama.

Because she's not flat-chested like a man should be. Laughing

That's what giggle tape is for. It's how women in anime get the ripped pec look when they crossplay.

Bishounen characters are really best cosplayed by females.

Because there's only few good looking boy Otaku out there.


What are you saying that the 300 lbs greasy never seen a bar o' soap since there mama last bathed them as a baby look is out now!? Man when did I miss that memo.

Compared to the time Nina looked like Captain Harlock, this really isn't any diffrent. As for Kevin, compared to dating game sim comic, this isn't as bad, but is somewhat entertaining.

Great work Robin.

I loved this one, I thought it was awesome. Perfect. As a bishounen fangirl, I support Nina dressing in crossplay.

I know what Kev's problem is... he's a perv! Confused
I wonder if his role-model is Gene Starwind?


You're right!! Gene Starwind must be his role model!!

Hey, at least it isn't Happosai or Master Roshi!!


And I vote yes, on crossplay for Nina!!

Nice job, Robin, turning last week's comments that 'Talan looks an awful lot like Nina' into cosplay fodder Smile
And it's good to see Paola back regularly.
Are hands difficult to draw?

I'm not surprised that you'd vote yes on that one. Razz
I vote yes also.

This week's strip was great; I think we've had an excellent run these last few weeks. Very Happy

Nice comic this week.
