I wouldn't worry too much about that. Promo artworks for most anime series are design by different artists who, while try to emulate the original design, they often add their own touches as well. Also, if you go to the character profile page on the main website, she still has a very thick-bodied design


The anime airs July, 10. The only question is when we'll get the uncensored version.

I think there was even a hint of BE at around 0:35 seconds in.

You'll find the link right here

Hm. I'm still pessimistic. It looks like they're really overplaying the fanservice. For example, Chifusa's expression when growing in the trailer is...less dignified, at the very least. It looks like there are tons of added crotch-shots, and the breasts themselves seem to be much more exaggerated than in the manga, which I didn't even think was possible.

There's always a way to exagerate breasts. Take a look at padded bras.

No, I mean like how it shows off the girl from the first chapter in the preview. She's just relatively busty in the manga, but the preview shows her as being absolutely enormous, bigger than stuff seen for most of the first two volumes.

It kind of throws the pacing out of whack, you know? It used to be a slow but gradual increase in the size of the women found, but now it's just kinda crazy.

I don't care all that much, but I love the source material, so I don't want to see it become another Qwaser.

Here's a comparison pic. Yes, that's the same chick.

Well, the director is the same one as qwaser and huge breasts are kind of his thing so at the very least there will most definitely be an increase in bust size, fanservice, and explicit material. The question though is whether or not the story line and characterizations of the anime will stick with the manga.

Part of me hopes so because I really would like to know what's going on in the series beyond chapter 3 but part wouldn't mind a change so long as the end result has more fanservice.

Merchandise updates all over the anime's site today, but the most interesting news is that Volume 6 is out/is coming out. I can't really tell which.

Oh, and they're making new versions of that model from a few years ago.

Another interesting thing, the site turns your cursor into an X-ray para-scope now. You can see under the heroines' clothes on the main page.

As you might expect, this will cause a spike in fanart, so this page is worth checking in the near future:
