The ladies' kit in the picture is badly anachronistic, from the plate carriers to their rifles and everything mounted on them. A lot of it either didn't exist in 1991 or came into service long afterwards. I don't know if it qualifies for the anachronism tag, I'm really only pointing this out because I like the Aesthetics™ of that time and I feel offended by this picture.

I agreed. This art work is nice. But some gears like gun is wrong.
such as they should use M16A2 instead M16A4 with RIS handguard and Trjicon ACOG.(Those should show in IRAQ WAR).
And their VEST is wrong too, it looks like MOLLE System(Like LBT-6094) plate carrier vest.
The only correct for the Gulf War timeline is Thier Camo and Alice backpack.
But I feel okey with this art , didn't feel so offended. But It turly didn't OLD-SCHOOL.
I will try to sent some my suggestion to artist in Pixiv. Hope he will keep make some good works to us.

I really like the picture. But yes, aside from the camo pattern and alice pack, none of that existed 1991. Still even didn't exist a decade later during the 2004 invasion of Iraq.

Reference.

I can't tell what that controller above the Dreamcast controller is. I thought it was a PC-Engine controller but it doesn't match what I found on Google.

Luck bastard. I want one

That little scarf is just adorable. It's like a dog, but much, much cooler.

Looks like Hiccup trained his dragon pretty well.

What's with the bags under Marisa's eyes in this scene? She still has them on the next page, but they're gone at the shrine.
Alice not letting her sleep at night?

Apparently it has to do with the other Hirasaka Makoto book this scene is referencing. (Mentioned in the afterword)

EDIT: The other book is now translated here.

I don't think you're allowed to call black hair "exotic", Alice. You live in Japan now.
Though it might be hard to tell from looking at Gensokyo hair colors.

This is a cropped picture, the full one is this.

The said cropped picture is actually an art trade with mixing artist (formerly on twitter, now on bluesky due to the "Supposed no way to opt out" ai training misinformation)

Little red in the bottom is giving me extreme "Eh, What's up doc?" vibes

how...uncanny...

Why hasn't anyone tagged Combusken or the shiny Poochyena yet? I kind of like their HD designs. 😄

is my imagination or Mugi is holding a Mitsu manga?

What's this? A world without Yui?
