Queen of the Lesbians

Let's go with the fantastic GOTHIC & LOLITA BIBLE VOLUME 5. A very summery magazine as it was published in 29th of July of 2002. Plenty of floral prints, colors and parasols in its catalogue. Absolutely one of the best ones. Introducing with this fresh shoot of the BIG 5 Brands BTSSB, AP, VM, Meta and IW

Chapter 26 of Byakko Senki has officially dropped in Japan!

North American readers can expect VIZ's simulpub later today.

All we know is what's been told in the story so far. Spoilers below this for Fushigi Yuugi Byakko Senki. We had a misdirect in the beginning with both brothers—Kasaru, the older brother who looks like, was the right age, and whose given name all lined up for him to be Tatara as we knew him from previous FY media, and Karumu, the younger 12 year old brother. Then, only a few chapters in, Kasaru is killed in an attack and Karumu's celestial powers as Tatara awaken. We learn that in his family the oldest living male sibling in each generation is to be called by the given name "Kasaru," so Karumu adopts that as his name per said tradition. And so now here we have a 12 year old Kasaru/Tatara—years younger than we expected and that's it. There is a lot of speculation on how we're going to get from this to how we know him (and hopefully make it a lot less weird and uncomfortable with Suzuno being 6 years older).

The two most obvious theories are:

A book-world time skip. In the book, it's only been a matter of months since Suzuno first entered as a child, but 10 years in the real world. But with that we have the issue of Toroki already being 110 years old, however, Rimudo/Uruki would have been around 116 when he passed as he ruled Hokkan for 100 years and was 16 upon taking the throne.

Subaru's powers. This could be the easiest way, but then we have the complication that Tatara would still mentally and emotionally be 12.
