You mean like Osaka from Azumanga Daioh?

[Panchocheesecake]

Like who from what?

I too like the inserts... showing her going from hammering on a mirror in frustration to tired resignation to determination. Think the 'fact' she DOES go to determined is what makes me like Nina even more then just 'cute'.

Osaka from Azumanga Daioh. Probably the best comedy anime ever. What he is referring to is a character named Osaka, who has the paradoxical quality of both being perhaps the dumbest character and the most savvy about romance. Seriously, if you like anime at all you need to check out Azumanga Daioh. And probably even if you don't like anime. ;)

Oh I hate anime.

Heretic!

Wow, I gotta be more careful with this.

[Panchocheesecake]

YES YOU SHOULD

Off topic much? That aside, I can't find any translated source for Azumanga to watch that doesn't cost the "collecter's fee" to see.

Other than that... Giz... your art style is great and all... but seriously. You've got to stop drawing Nina so damn attractive. You're seriously making me question issues like the ligitimacy of disreputable things like lolicon. If you just got to get your kinks out with your characters, at least find some attractive, legal aged, characters to work with. Its really quite unsettling to find myself particularly attracted to an underaged character. Which, is kind of odd to say... especially what with Chloe, another underaged character, supposed to be the sexual magnet not quite working in that regard. I don't know, just something about the clutzy facade she puts forth really degrades the whole appeal issue to me. Whereas, the ditzzy persona of Nina just turns up the "wowzers" factor to "ON FI'AH!" That being, that she so often over does the cuteness routine and with the maturing body, and often form fitting clothing, overdoing the cuteness routine just ratchets up past uber cute into "OMG! 2 SEXY!!!" (which, oddly enough is only slight more than "wanna tap that" which serves as the middle grounds on the Sexy-O-meter, no puns intended)

I think the serious response to that is to stop reading the comic if this disturbs you... You can hardly ask the creator to change her art style just because one person reacts to it in a way that disturbs this one person only...

I, for my part, find neither Nina nor Chloe to be sexually attractive at all, there is the klutziness you mention with Chloe, and Nina in my mind actually acts like she is at least four years younger...

Now, Layla and Brooke (especially Brooke ) on the other hand... Wait, Brooke is in Nina's class! Ach, who cares, I have always been a perv and up front with it.

A condition that I think affects more than half the forum's membership.

As for me, I have no problem Nina and co. attractive, because they are! Maybe not in a sexual sense (except for Layla, rawr! ), but there's no denying they are pretty damned cute. At the place I used to work, we had specific codenames for whenever attractive customers came in. Younger girls were "Museum Pieces" (as in look, don't touch), girls our age were "Booyaka's" (named after a favorite exclamation of mine) and MILFs were, well, "MILFs!"

So just think of the EC girls as Museum Pieces and you'll be fine. ;)

Oh yeah, I'm a perv.

@Don Alexander; I wasn't asking that she change her style. Merely asking she applied the sex appeal to more appropriately aged characters. It just worries me that I would find a fictional, underaged, female character to be sexually attractive. Moreso the underaged part than the fictional, but the fictional inference is a little worrysome too.

@TakerFoxx; if you're suggesting that you have some way to enter into that vision of reality such that at a moment of weakness you might fall prey to your own instincts... I'm torn between asking you to take me with you just to have an adventure for once in my dull life, and begging you to stay away from me, with or for any possibility I'd get sucked into that world where I'd have to walk around with eye patches covering my eyes so I don't go insane with temptation overload. Other than that, it kinda goes without saying that no touching would be involved between myself and the character... and thankfully nothing really to... well, just no material to use, put it that way.

[TakerFoxx]

Don't dream it, be it!

Okay, I get the message of the... err message. But I'm afraid you lost me on the meaning/reason of the message.
