Its been already 2 long posts since Ive posted something ecchi (gasp).I do know that my blogs audience is, except for GnDynames, a bunch of hopeless perverts and you gotta give the masses what they want.Did you think that Menace`s Battle History was Ecchi?Leina`s Battle History increases the ecchiness sevenfold with the appearance of good old furnikura and his toy Nyx.Are you thirsty for tentacle grape?Quench your thirst after the Jump!
This is the second Queens Blade Storybook I own and the concept is the same: give a deeper insight into a characters motivation and relationship with other Queens Blade Participants through a book and drama CD.While Menace`s book focuses exclusively on her past theres a little twist to Leina`s book: it is basically the story of 3 characters that are deeply interwined with each other: Leina,Claudette and Nyx.
The Overall Theme of the book is the emancipation of Leina from her heritage and the story follows her as she matures from a princess to a bitoshi.One of the two sidethemes is Claudette`s envy of Leina`s position and how she disapproves of Leina`s decision to become a warrior.The last and probably most interesting theme is Nyx grief history thats dominated by the Vance family.She was a servant at the Vance Castle and had to undergo humilation and torture by her masters and especially one member of the Vance family: Elina.
In the end Elina was more or less responsible for the death of Nyx` mother because she took away the food Nyx saved up to feed her sick mother in prison.Her shy and weak nature always kept her from fighting back and buried everything deep down within her soul.Years later she has a fated meeting with the living artefact furnikura who grants her unbelievable power which she cant control though.Furnikura mistreats her as the Vance household did years ago but this time she endures it in exchange for power.She lacked the power to fight back when her mother was sick and wont give up the new found power to change things for good this time,even if it means to endure even more punishment.Her fights for justice is of good will but often ends up in a disaster for the bad as well as the innocent because she cant control the massive power of furnikura effectively.Theres a second side to Nyx though due to Furnikuras influence and that personality can only be described as one mean bitch and surfaces mostly after his beatings or during fights.
The production Value of the Drama CD is once again of great quality and has,as far as I can tell, the same cast as the Anime which is not essential but always a nice thing.The CD has 19 Drama Tracks and the additional tracks are random lines spoken by the characters.The Artwork is this time handled by Kaneko Hiraku,whos also responsible for the Cattleya Visual Combat book.The Art is great but quite ecchi and definately not something for people that have some sense of shame.
I personally find this a great addition to any QB Fan and I definately prefer Leina`s inbook history over her Anime Story which made her a bland whiny rookie.The fact that theres a subtle note of hate/envy from Claudettes side makes the whole package bittersweet and I cant thank them enough for providing a deeper look into Nyx` troubled past which should change some peoples opinion about Elina.
I hope to acquire the last Storybook featuring Tomoe and Shizuka in the near future and I wish that theyll release some more Battle History books even though the focus shifted to the follow up series Rebellion.
She used to be such a nice girl…
I cant stress enough how much I dig the fact that Leina is actually capable of something in this book
I guess Yi will like this one ^^
You gotta love random yuri encounters with people you saved from thugs
Leina`s Face is priceless XD
