And I know that feeling when you accidentally leave no room for their feet. It happens.

[Chet Rippo]

Well, I don't go out of my way to hide feet. I'm not that bad.

[AnathemicOne]

Yin and Yui?

Yui is correct, the first one however is Nagisa

[Chet Rippo]

Yui is correct, the first one however is Nagisa

I was going to mention you drew her really skinny, but I guess she really is that skinny lol.

[Kandrick]

Hmm strawberry panic, i think i watched the anime back in the day. Heavy yuri stuff!

It's the best yuri to have ever been created (I haven't seen anything yet to equal or top it as of yet).

[cajunator]

Im gonna draw somethin KON related soon enough. The sketching bug in me was awakened recently.

[Chet Rippo]

At home, contemplating whether or not I should go to the state fair.

It's fun to draw isn't it?

[AnathemicOne]

It was a slow day today...

[Chet Rippo]

It happens.
I'm almost done with Azumanga, so I should be getting started on the K-ON! manga pretty soon.

[Chet Rippo]

And now I'm done with it... K-ON! manga time it is then!

[nckillthegrimace]

chunky leaf girls

[Kandrick]

So how do you like the manga Chet ?

[PartTimeWarrior]

Why are the 3 worst girls on the cover :(

[Emitan]

And now I'm done with it... K-ON! manga time it is then!

Thighs~

[Gravijah]

Why are the 3 worst girls on the cover :(

hmmm.

[dluu13]

Thighs~

Aw they're so chubby

[nckillthegrimace]

They look like muppet babies.

[Poyunch]

[AnathemicOne]

Poor Yui...

Granted I'd probably have the same reaction too...

[Emitan]

Aw they're so chubby

Chubby girls are best girls

[Poyunch]

I think I've been converted by Mugi. She doesn't get enough love.

[AnathemicOne]

Need new anime to watch (though I'm still watching Yuru Yuri)

K-On GAF, list suggestions, GO!

[Poyunch]

If you want more anime that looks like K-on there's Sora no Woto.

[Watanabe Kazuma]

I think I've been converted by Mugi. She doesn't get enough love.

Welcome to the fold.

This could be totally misinterpreted if one wasn't knowledgeable about the context behind it. :D

[Unknown Soldier]

Even if you know the context, you can misinterpret it anyways!

[Lord British]

Not K-On but I have a little bit more dubbing work here...

[Kandrick]

[Unknown Soldier]

It spins off from To aru Majutsu no Index so you might want to watch Index first.

Index is bad though!

[PartTimeWarrior]

I hated Index and loved Railgun, Uihara is the best girl

What is this I don't even...

[Chet Rippo]

So how do you like the manga Chet ?

Over the weekend I read through the first 2 volumes, which basically span what is the first season.
The first volume, which is everything before Azusa shows up, is pretty much exactly how the anime adapts it. The castanets, Ritsu's boob envy, the Christmas party at the Hirasawas', it's all there. Though, in a more fan service way.
The second volume is where it diverges a lot. Azusa is a lot different, at least the way they introduce her. She's all excited about the light music club before she even sees them perform at the freshman reception. She still gets all frustrated with how lazy the club is, but she never has that part where she wanders the city night questioning why she joined the club or not. They actually do more chapters about taking and studying for tests, and since they are in school, I guess that makes sense. The whole Ritsu and Mio fight never happens in the manga, with the anime taking parts from the manga that seem to have nothing to do with each other and beautifully crafting one of the better episodes in the first season. The part where after Yui gets better after her cold and she forgets her guitar at home, in the manga it's used as a gag where Ui brings her Gitah and telling her she forgot it, instead of the weird running back home and self reflection Yui does then. Episode 13 never happens, and the live house OVA doesn't happen either except for the New Years party. And maybe it's just me, but did all the girls boobs get bigger in the second volume? Not that I'm complaining. So basically most of the drama, save for Yui getting sick is pretty much just made for the anime.
I also noticed a lot of the small little animations and images of the girls in the OP are taken from the manga in parts that never made it into the show, for example Ritsu presenting a cake box is a running joke with her trying to bribe Nodoka or Mio into doing something.
Besides that though, the manga is just like the K-ON! I fell in love with. I need to get that last volume.

Also this past weekend I got some K-ON! sketches worked on, but I'll have to show those at another time.

[dluu13]

I hated Index and loved Railgun, Uihara is the best girl

I didn't hate index, but railgun was definitely better

[Kandrick]

Railgun is better, confirmed. Thanks guys!

Manga impressions

Thanks!

So the first season is a straight adaptation of the manga. Nice to see the small differences to the second season though.

[Chet Rippo]

Well, I was only talking about the first two volumes which are covered in the first season of K-ON! The third volume, which I haven't started yet, is where K-ON!! starts. Taking a quick peek though, it seems to be quite a bit different, at least in how the chapters are ordered.

Oh and Ritsu looked quite different in the first few chapters.

Ah, so the first anime season covers the first two volumes basically ? I see.

Also, that's not Ritsu.

[Chet Rippo]

Yes, that's it, with K-ON! being adaptations of volumes 3 and 4.

And by chapter 3 Ritsu looks like the Ritsu we all know and love.

[Kandrick]

[Esura]

Ritsu, Ritsu, you so fine!

Dammit, now I want a Nendoroid of all the HTT girls.

[Emitan]

She wants to snuggle

[Kandrick]

She wants to snuggle

Who doesn't!

[Esura]

Surprised there isn't any of those weird dakikula pillows of K-ON! girls.

[Chet Rippo]

Dammit, now I want a Nendoroid of all the HTT girls.

I think you should, as someone who has one already. I think some of them cost a pretty penny though, just as a warning.

She wants to snuggle

[Emitan]

If you don't like snuggling you're not allowed in this thread.

[Chet Rippo]

Surprised there isn't any of those weird dakikula pillows of K-ON! girls.

Besides a ton of unofficial ones, they do have these. Of course, they're quite a bit less risque than your average body pillow..

[PdotMichael]

Azusa, Jun

who? There are just 4 relevant K-on! girls.
