Another month, another issue of Megami. We’re to the part of the year that can’t quite decide whether it’s summer or fall, and the posters this time seem equally confused (why don’t they just have Konata baking sweet potatoes by the fire in her school swimsuit?), but what may be lacking in poster content is made up for by a nice Itou Noiji pencilboard and a POP-illustrated Moetan “picture story”. Read on for the nitty gritty:























My favorite poster of this month’s batch is probably the Zero no Tsukaima offering, despite the rather suspicious (drugged?) look on Louise’s face. I don’t know why Kirche isn’t in the picture… >:O Not much else here that I’d hypothetically put on my wall, but that’s due less to the quality of the art and more to lack of interest in the shows; I’m hoping things will pick up in the next couple of months with Genshiken 2, Dragonaut, Kimikiss, and the new You’re Under Arrest starting in October.
For those interested in picking up the magazine, Megami is available at J-List in both individual issues and on a subscription basis, as well as at Amazon.co.jp.
I have to say it. That is one -hot- Kotonoha poster. o_O
Yeah. I ordered them already, though it’s stuck at Customs now >.<. I want my Kotonoha poster.
I disagree. The only reason I would have to get this issue is the Akane Ikegami poster (20.jpg above). Kotonoha is only good with a box cutter.
Man, I really need to start on those Megami mags…
Swimsuit season apparently runs from February to November in Megami Magazine Land :) The Lucky Star sweet potato roast is charming, and that looks like real Naru Nanao art in the sola poster. I’m glad I finally broke down and subscribed.

The magazine’s cover confirms your suspicion (though hard to spot in that photo), the sola poster is indeed a Naru Nanao original. :3
