Extreme Prostration Kogasa!

I hear there wasn't a Sanae cosplay, but I wonder how that would've played out if there was.

[deleted]

I'm Kogasa in the comic, but in real life, I was just some weird guy wearing a hat. Even as I was wondering whether the people around really got what was going on, I let them take pictures. The person playing Suwako-sama was cute too. :-)

Reader-added tags include "Prostrate yourself, Kogasa-san", "Family photo (Sanae absent)" and again "Prostration champion". (According to its Pixipedia article, it's a "final attack" from Aquarion EVOL. It's apparently meant to be read simply as "dogeza" or "kneeling/prostration".)

The poll asks:

Why does Kogasa kneel right away?
• Her head is heavy.
• Because umbrellas soon collapse!
• Because she's a masochist!
• Because she was trained by Sanae-san.
• Because she's sneaking an upskirt peek!

Ahaha, I had a feeling he'd put http://youtu.be/huGeVouJLQ8?t=4m55s in a strip. And yes, Mizuki-san's definitely combining photoshoots together, as this is actually from the first one on Friday despite it being Saturday in-story. So with that in mind, here's links to the first photoshoot up to this part.

The gig is up!

I knew he couldn't possibly leave Masakuni out of this.

EDIT: Though he left out Masakuni's facial hair. A shame.

Haha, Kanako looks like a movie star with those shades.

I am quite enjoying the amount of Touhous wearing sunglasses in his strips lately. :D

I wonder how much time it takes Mizuki to draw up a 4koma?

There are videos of him drawing 500 commemoration strip while at karaoke @ AnimeBoston, they're on IonicFox channel and were mentioned a couple of strips before, look them up :3

On an unrelated note - guess who's cosplaying Sanae!

Are you linking these on pixiv too? I want to know their reactions!

Juhani (Suwako), you are a delight.

...this is beautiful. An honor this is.

Wat. I wish I had good facial hair.

I wish, but alas, I do not the moonspeak.

I was waiting for this scene, and it did not disappoint. It makes sense to combine both of the photo shoots into one, keeps things from being repetitive, right? I wonder what photo shoot shenanigans are going to come next? (I really hope he does one with everyone hugging the Ran-tails.)

For the poll, I'd say the proper answer is a combination of the last two choices. Sanae-san trained Kogasa-san well, but since Kogasa-san can't take a picture of any of the other cute girls, she needs some kind of fulfillment... or maybe I'm thinking too much about that movie with John Candy and Tom Hanks.

I don't either and post in English anyway.

Whenever anyway wears shades while crossplaying a Touhou, any facial hair is good facial hair.

It's like a rule, or something.

Do they really not mind random foreigners speaking gibberish on their site?

... or do you just not understand the complaints?

And so Kogasa became a happy camper.

Not much actual conversation seems to happen in Pixiv comments, from what I've seen. So no, it doesn't get commented on as far as I can tell.

I caught up already :( These go by fast even when I take time to read the comments :(

Which happened in episode 3. Specifically, this scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEmNPUSAMUw

I grinned like an idiot the moment I reached panel 2. I knew Mizuki-san would include his meeting with Bronako (and I was not disappointed). Though did he really react to the photoshoot invitation like that?

You guys surely had a lot of fun during the photoshoot lol.

I got a thank you for posting pics and vids a couple of times.

That is a rather nice Suwako cosplay, opting for tights instead of socks made it even better.

I don't comment on Pixiv, but I usually post my picture descriptions in colloquial English. I can't go all Simple English and just put "Madoka Kaname is tied up." for every description. That would drive me nuts.

Anyway, no one's really given me shit about it.

The poll asks:

Actually, regarding the Aquarion EVOL thing, I can link an image regarding that. http://i.imgur.com/kep23Lc.png
