Weiss 02: Netherworld Manga 1st Edition: War of the Roses!

[mangohexen]

It's on sale! Come and get it!

[somehow, through the wonders of attacking a printing room in the school and bossing around the couple of prinnies that were still there, Malga had secured herself a temporary printing room. Granted, these weren't the best materials for printing doujinshi, but hell if she could raise some funds to get more reliable equipment--and perhaps see what her audience was like here compared to her own world. With the long queue for the Dark Assembly, she was much better off testing the waters this way.

So what's the doujinshi in question?

War of the Roses. A rather well drawn tale of a kick ass girl and her female viking lover as they find that their town is under siege by warring demons, under the command of two warring nobles. Of course, all of these characters had rather familiar likenesses, with the main character showing a familiarity to Mindy, the lover looking like Ruffnut, the nobles looking very close to Rozalin and Evangeline, and the hapless girl the latter two are fighting over looks just like Konoka.]

You can get it on sale for just 600HL (that's like 600 yen, right?). Additional donations welcome to get better printing materials, assistants and more inspiration!

[[You can encounter her either by visiting said room or ordering her doujinshi through the myPhone.]]

Comments

[ruffntumblenut]

So it's like a book, but with lots of pictures?

[mangohexen]

[She considered saying something snarky, but she remembered that this person might be the person Mindy talked about, and eased up.]

You could say that, yeah.

[ruffntumblenut]

Huh...yeah alright I'll give it a shot. Only because Mindy keeps telling me reading can be cool.

How do I get it?

[mangohexen]

Bring me 600 HL (or get your girlfriend to do it) and I give you a copy. Best to share, after all.

[ruffntumblenut]

Yeah alright I can do that. Where are you? In the dorm area?

[mangohexen]

I'm actually in a printing office in the school (or one of the schools, who knows). Hit the tall building and make your way down as possible while still seeing windows.

[ruffntumblenut]

[gets lost but finds her an hour later, oddly enough with a ice cream cone]

Did you guys know there's an ice cream place down here? Weird. Anyway gimmie one!

[Produces fistfulla monies]

[mangohexen]

I gotta look into that. I don't get ice cream that often back at home.

*TRANSACTION OCCURS*

Enjoy the doujinshi.

[ruffntumblenut]

Thanks.

[And then promptly finds a chair somewhere in this room to start thumbing through the manga. Because A VIKING SITS WHEREVER SHE WANTS!]

[mangohexen]

[Malga keeps an eye on her but otherwise doesn't care, she's got her eye on other customers.

In the meantime, how does Ruffnut like the swashbuckling adventures of herself and her girlfriend versus corrupt yuri nobles?]

[ruffntumblenut]

[There's some blushing, a wild excited look in her eyes as she goes back to actually ready the pages instead of just looking at the pictures]

Dude...that girl is totally hot.

[Meaning the one based on Mindy, clearly she hasn't realized the connection]

[mangohexen]

Is she now?

Good to see my artwork hasn't rusted. [She's not going to explain it to her. Let Mindy do that.]

[ruffntumblenut]

Are you gonna do more of these?

[mangohexen]

Yeah. I'm hoping to raise a bit of money so I can get better printing stuff, and good assistants to keep the quality good.

[ruffntumblenut]

Huh...that'd be cool.

Do you need help with anything? I'm not really any good at drawing or whatever...I could give you some more money?

[mangohexen]

Donations certainly help.

Oh, and share this with your girlfriend. Bigger audience = more sales, after all.

[ruffntumblenut]

Of course!

[Gives her a donation that would normally buy three copies. but is happy with her one]

[mangohexen]

Thanks, you're an awesome customer already!

[ruffntumblenut]

Heh, I just know what I like. And when I like something I want more of it.

[mooned_hime]

Is this the one about tentacle dragons with pretty boys?

[mangohexen]

Tentacle dragons?

...geez, even I have standards. Why would I have tentacle dragons?

No, this one's a much more actiony and yuri bent.

[mooned_hime]

You were the one talking about them earlier.

Since you've apparently come to your senses, I believe I'll take one.

[mangohexen]

I think you got the tentacle part confused with me talking about dragons, but okay.

*TRANSACTION OCCURS*

Enjoy your doujinshi.

[mooned_hime]

Thank you.

[Somehow Malga ended up with 6000 HL instead of 600 from Kaguya, though]

[mangohexen]

[On the one hand, she's not dishonest enough to let that slide. On the other hand, free money.]

Thank you for your generous donation.

[hit_girl_mindy]

So you finished it? Awesome.

[Flips through, grinning]. I like where this is going! I didn't even know you were throwing in Evangeline and Konoka! You're good!

[mangohexen]

When I saw that vampire and that overdressed woman fighting over her, I couldn't help but add it in there. It turned into a good plot too, not to mention romantic and steamy!

[hit_girl_mindy]

I'm surprised the actual girlfriend of Konoka's isn't spazzing out, seeing this.

So what do you think on a fair price?

[mangohexen]

Oh I didn't realize she had an actual girlfriend until just a little while ago. She seems to be on the denial side though. Maybe this'll fix that.

I went with 600HL so far, and it seemed that it caught on. I could consider dropping into its item world and pumping up the worth, or seeing if a price drop gets any more substantial amount of takers.

[hit_girl_mindy]

Yeah, she's really weird like that, even though she fights for the girl like I would fight for (and have and do) Ruffnut. Guess ninjas must be repressed like that.

You do that. In the meantime, I'll go, say, 1000HL. This was worth waiting for, and the artistic license was an added bonus.

[mangohexen]

Yet another thing that reminds me of Tenzo

I'll definitely consider it.

[hit_girl_mindy]

You should have the next one be about kicking the asses of dumb senators keeping us from video games...

[rose_liberated]

[As if the high-born royalty that is Rozalin would bother to buy such a thing...but her ears are sharp and might note people commenting on such things in the halls.]

[mangohexen]

[She might hear whispers and glances in her direction. Granted, they're in admiration mostly, but one question of 'there's no way she actually swings that way, right?' might be alarming.]

[rose_liberated]

[...What was that? Swinging which way exactly? It is time for the cold hard stare of a slighted nobelwoman, even if she is unaware of how she has been slighted.]

[mangohexen]

[The demons are a bit spooked, and one flees in outright terror, dropping the doujin in question. Will curiosity win, or is Rozy still too prideful?]

[rose_liberated]

...Well, maybe just a peak.

[flip. Flip, flip. Flip, flip...?

Oh no...oh NOOOOOOOOOOOO.]

[mangohexen]

[Yep, that's right. You're the villain of this story, and you're having a spat with an equally bratty lesbian noble over the local yuri-loving healer. So much that you're summoning other demons to do your dirty work and wreaking havoc. What now?]

[ms_gwendolen_chant]

What is a doujinshi?

[mangohexen]

Is the term "comic book" familiar to you?

*and just in case it isn't, she pulls a copy out to show off the title page and briefly show off some of the pages*
