Insane rumors or not, you have to admit it wasn't exactly a good look to leave a company, and just weeks later unveil a near identical product to the one you just left, with an amount of work done on it that couldn't have possibly been completed in the time frame between departure and announcement.

Other than the halo what is identical between Project KV with Blue Archive? I feel like the character comparison with some BA characters is forced. Koito looks more like Taiga. Rei is Doremi's sameface problem. And the other two characters have nothing in common. Both do have simplistic shading, but that's not Blue Archive original.

    -Halos positioned exactly where BA positions them above the head, despite Project KV being Buddhist themed which does have halos but uses a completely different halo design and position
    -Rings of light in the sky
    -Academy city
    -Students with personal unique weapons (swords instead of guns)
    -Player character is sole authority over the girls
    -In Korean the word used for the player character is almost the same as the one used in BA
    -Project KV's story description is just BA's prologue reworded

    And several other things that are just the inverse of something from BA when examined side by side.

    Okay, this was incredible cute to read. Seth is so silly awkward, but a real good man. Also, Qingyi has to be in every comic with them, isn't she? Pretty hilarious how she is always involved and be like ''ah yeah, there they go again. Please, don't mind my presence and just continue''. Thank you once again for your amazing translations! Much appreciated, as always. :)

    I know this is a real character, but to be honest she just looks like all of the Toge Toge members plus Hina combined into the ultimate being. The hair style, the hair colour, the fucking eye colour, Rupa's fucking mole...

    The uniform. It's like I trained an AI on Teshima Nari's art and then asked it to draw me 'solo, 1girl, Girls Band Cry'

    NGL I'm only really involved on the GBC side of Teshima Nari so I had to translate the text to find the character name, because it did kind of look like a Hina x Nina hybrid at first.

    Nari is actually both Natsuki Karin's and GBC's character designer, so in a sense, Karin, Nina and Hina and other GBC characters are of the same parentage. I guess Karin is an honorary GBC character.

    Or rather, the Toge Toge members are now honorary Tokyo6 voicebanks, but we can't have that world. Another day another instance of an artist's less popular work being mistaken for a more popular work.

    I did the translation and added notes explaining it as short and neutrally as I could. The whole situation surrounding this project is less known outside of Korea and I definitely don't want the drama to spread here for those who are anticipating the game.
    Also, this whole page is a direct parody of the manga series "Smoke and Honey (煙と蜜)" by Nagakura Hiroko (長蔵ヒロコ).

    Appreciated, honestly. It actually makes the jokes work for those not in the know.

    A quick look on the Twitter profile seems to indicate that the account who posted this is a troll account by some Korean artist, hence why they suddenly popped up during the drama. And the artist even later posted a post admitting that it was a sock after the cancellation announcement.

    I still don't know who owned this sock account, however.

    Who is the little red-haired blue-eyed Kemo hiding behind the strawberries?

    The original design of Kemomimi-chan.

    Google Translate:

    Another Chemomimi-chan
    Kemomimi-chan has become firmly established as our signature girl, but in fact, there was
    a plan to have red hair in the early days.

    Is that Cafe in the upper right?

    Yes

    There are also others depicted in the shards on the left, but I am not sure if they are identifiable

    I believe the below is Trainer, but I'm not sure who was the upper shard girl
