N-Naoto?! It’s Naoto one year later!
This is so cool!
I’m a little sad that she doesn’t have her hat, but still. She looks so cool! I hope (although sort of doubt) that this light novel will be translated and sent to the US.
Naoto merged with Mitsuru? (Hair, bike, different flavour of badassery)
If this is genuine artwork, Naoto aged a *lot* in one year. Very pleased about the bike, though. And she kept the ties \o/
Oh my fucking… shit Naoto, you just… wow. It looks like the chest bindings are gone too, so I suppose she’s accepted herself as a woman and realized that women are, indeed, bad ass. Look at her! She’s turned into a bad ass, motorcycle riding cop. Be still my heart! And look at all that hair! And the tie! Just… please Naoto, go back to Inaba at the end of your novel to present yourself to Kanji (or keep in touch with him throughout the novel). Please, someone animate this into an OVA just so I can see her riding after some criminals to some epic music.
I’d be more surprised about how much she’s changed in one year but hey, this is video gaming, and I still remember reading Yu Yu Hakusho and seeing Kurama change from this short haired kid who was Hiei’s height to this tall, elegant, long haired thing of beauty in a year.
