| | PHS944 Queen's Blade vol. 18 ~ Allean | This item is in stock in Japan. Weight: 500 g. Price: $22.00 Product type: shashinshu (photobook)
(What is this?) |   | | One of the oldest and most seasoned veteran warriors of a tribe of forest elves, Allean is taciturn and blunt in her dealings with others as leader of the tribe's combat troops. Due to her habit of teaching people what they're doing wrong conversations with her often turn into lectures, and she is both revered and feared by the other forest elves. She's had a long relationship with Echidna, who she often chastises for her loose ways and is made fun of in return for her inexperience with men. It's hard to tell whether they're bound together by friendship or animosity.
The appearance of the half-elf Nowa in the forest elf community marked a turning point for Allean, who upon recognizing her potential took her under her wing and appointed her to the position of "forest watchman". The elf village elders did not approve however, and drove her from the village with the excuse that she must joine the Queen's Blade tournament. Distraught, Allean secretly set out for the tournament as well, to protect the girl whose sudden appearance had awoken feelings long dormant in the veteran elven warrior.
Illustrated by popular character designer and artist Matsuryuu, Allean is the 18th installment in the super-popular series of Queen's Blade artbooks that enable you to take the role of a beautiful female combattant in the tournament for supremacy to the throne! Presented in hardcover archival format with dust jacket and 64 full-color illustrations, these are a great value for artbook collectors as well as those who love the game's innovative combat style based on Lost Worlds from Flying Buffalo Press. Highly recommended for fans of scantily clad women warriors, and fantasy style art from Japan, like Record of Lodoss Wars. From Hobby Japan. (More like this) (Direct link to this product)

Each page features a specific katakana character surrounded by cute illustrations and English translation of various words that represent the sound of the character being spoken. Hardcover so it will last throughout the years. Perfect for those who are also trying learn Japanese. (More like this) (Direct link to this product) |
