Looks like Haruka to me. Feel free to correct if I'm wrong.

Wonderful pic.

Indeed!

Amazing.

I tought it was Haruka at first too... at least it looks like her in the thumbnail. But the hair style is totally different and she's using twintails... I doubt it's her.

You're probably right, since it was in an H-mag (COMIC Kairakuten 05/2008), it's not likely to be a copyright character.

Still, rather heavily "inspired" by her, if not outright "as close to Haruka as I can get without risking a lawsuit". I'll just keep pretending it's Haruka...

Well, we know who some of the characters are.

This is exactly the same as the parent post, what's up with that?

It's a different file, and considerably smaller. Thus, it likely is more lossily compressed.
