The December ’07 issue of Hobby Japan magazine had an advertisement for a third anthology volume of manga based on the characters from the Queen’s Blade series of combat artbooks. It’s set for release on November 24th, which is at this point all we know about the book (other than that the cover will be penned by [ERO] Jibril and Nanael character designer Kuuchuu Yousai); past volumes of the anthology have included work from artists such as F.S, Rebis, and Kokuryuugan, and as such are basically officially sanctioned borderline ecchi doujin compilations. We’ll be keeping an eye out for a list of contributors coming online in the next few weeks. Cover image from the advertisement below:

Nifty! We’ll have to see who the artists for this one shall be.
I just got Claudette’s QB book today, and it came with a nice glossy ad for the QB cell-phone game, along with a website link: http://www.dml.co.jp/qb.
The sad thing is the second they came out with a 3D fighter for Queen’s Blade I would be first in line to buy it.

The QB cell phone game was announced last month (though not easily visible from the scan there) and has been up for beta testing since the 15th. I would’ve mentioned it here more specifically if I had a model of phone that could play it, but mine is pretty neanderthal these days by Japan standards.
My Claudette and Merona arrived last night and I just finished looking through them. Both very nice books indeed. :3

With this cell phone game announced I have at least cautious hopes that we’ll see further development on the electronic game side of things. Queen’s Blade = Hobby Japan = Bandai = Namco, so maybe something from them?
Namco, eh? A QB game using the Soul Calibur IV engine would be serious awesomeness indeed.
>>Shingo
Namco? It’s not out of the question then, depending on how much product moves.
I think a pc/console game based on Queens Blade will definitely be a sales-chart topping game.
Bouncy girls like DOA coupled with castoffable clothing like Fighting Vipers anyone? :)
Oh, it would so make my day to see an actual Queen’s Blade fighting game. Even if it’s utter garbage. But would we see clothing fly like in the illustration books? ($ELLING POINT!)
The Ikki Tousen figthing game was a shame.What I mean is that no matter how sexy the characters are if the game is a complete garbage.
But some Queens Blade girls as guest characters in Soul Calibur IV surely would make my day.
