We revisit the hallowed posteriffic pages of Megami Magazine for the first time in a few months to find a very solid issue indeed, including offerings from Shana II, Clannad, Aria, Kimiaru, Nanoha, Spice and Wolf, To Heart 2, Kanokon, Minami-ke, Gunslinger Girls, Kimikiss, Bamboo Blade, Yotsunoha, Rosario to Vampire, Ikkitousen Great Guardians, and more. Is it just me, or is there more nekkidness in this issue than in the past year’s lot combined? See below for a preview:
Pictures speak louder than words, and I don’t have much to add to what you see here other than that there’s more really nice stuff in this issue than I’ve seen in a Megami for a good while. I’m especially impressed by the detail work that went into the gothic lolita Bamboo Blade illustration, the ero-ero Kanokon Minamoto Chizuru, and the appearance already of Ikkitousen Great Guardians, meaning it’s been in the works for a few months already at least. The only drawbacks to this issue are that it seems the POP-illustrated Moetan feature has ended, and one of the posters was used for advertisements instead of being an actual poster. Otherwise, top quality all around. I don’t expect next month’s Comp H’s will be able to top this, but I’d like to see them try.
- Megami Magazine can be purchased either via revolving subscription or individual issue from J-List!
As an aside, I hope we get a lot of doujinshi based on this at summer Comiket:
Looking good. Any magazine with Shana on the cover is a great one. Moe Imouto has plenty of these scans already, too. ^_^

Yep, it’s pretty much impossible to beat the scanners any more; there’s someone who works at a wholesaler in Japan who gets them and has scans up before the magazine actually goes on sale. All I can do is try to be as fast as possible (better than this month, five days late is pretty terrible) and hope people value a bit more concrete information. ^^;;
“As an aside, I hope we get a lot of doujinshi based on this [Kanokon] at summer Comiket”
Seconded. Many, many times over.
You mean it doesn’t come with a Nanoha poster? This is clearly an imposter, not the real Megami.
I kid, I’m actually getting pretty sick of them packing in Nanoha posters every bloody issue for the last year and a half. Shame the Clannad poster is Kyou-deprived, though.
The Kimi ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de poster looks good, I’m going to have to pull out the game and play it again . . .
Shana FTW
It was sad to see the POP run end; the guy seems to color his works with candy and lollipops (:P). You can’t convey that properly in scans.
Actually, as someone working in graphic design, the colors in the megami scans bother me sometimes; small details, but they still bother me. Which is why I love my physical copy.
They had a “nanoha trading card” going on in the magazine. seems like it’s random every mag you buy. Character cards i mean, correct me if i’m wrong lol.
I was walking to a shop with a friend, telling him how awesome it would be if i got fate’s card. and gosh was i lucky XD.
The card looks crappy, but hey, it’s fate!
Best issue ever,have all the anime i like in this issue.!FTW
