Queens Blade is probably best known for its recent Anime incaranation aswell as the figures released by Megahouse.It all started off as a Battle Book Game a few years ago though.Enter the world of the Lost Worlds Fighting System after the Jump!
The QB Books are based on the American Lost Worlds Books and follows the same rules as their english counterparts.Actually alot of the QB characters are mere copies of the Lost World Characters with a different,sexier artwork.One of the biggest advantages over other japanese games is the fact that the Rules are readily avaiable in your language!
Alternate 2P Colours are hidden under the Dust jacket
Youll need 2 QB (or Lost Worlds) books to play with one of your friends and you actually swap books with them.Yes,you cant drool over the fantastic artworks of your character while playing and have to stick to your buddies character.The only thing youll keep is the Character Card that comes with your book and provides all neccessary information for fighting the other players character.I already mentioned that most QB Characters are based on already existing Lost Worlds characters but there are still minor tweaks and this is where it gets a bit complicated : the Character Card aswell as the book are completley in Japanese.Luckily the good guys at ESGlabs provide Fantranslation of many of the QB Character Cards.I highly recommend you to to check if theres a translation for your desired character avaiable before ordering.
Nyx`s Character Card
The books itself are hardcovers with about 63 full covered pages that provide the artworks aswell as the battle statistics.Sine you swapped the book with your buddy youll see everything out of your characters perspective attacking the enemy.
Kyouka isnt too pleased with her job ^^
Pocco is helping out aswell
Depending on the attack youve chosen the other player has to turn to a certain page that provides information if the attack was successful or not.Your goal is to reduce your enemies lifepoints to Zero before he does with yours
What would QB be without Ecchi artworks?
What else is there to say?The books are well bound and printed.Theres nothing to comply about and the price of the books itself is very reasonable considering the fact that you are buying an Artbook plus a game.I recommend importing them since local retailers over here are selling them for triple the price.
I cant wait for the arrival of my brothers book and hope to fight with him soon!
Hope this was an interesting read 
Some kinda dialogue between characters?
PS: I linked my Images to my flickr account since anonymous object mentioned that they dont show up on google reader.I hope this fixes the problem.
