/jp/ - Otaku Culture

So only a week remains for C94, and FKG seems to have a strong presence this year as well. About 35-40 circles have announced flower knight-themed works, with standout examples including Hihiirokane's uniform undressing book (an extremely specific fetish with extremely impressive execution), plenty of Saffron and Easter Cactus from Yoko, another Ivy book from SilverWorld's Chaos (who is as devoted to her as our own Ivy anon), Naruse Momoru's Galium pillow cover and tapestries, and miscellaneous works by other official artists such as Utsurogi Akira, TAKTO, Nakamura B-ta and Bouryoku Nyachou.

FKG's selection of petite girls (including Flowering Peach, Azalea, Daisy, Nerine and Kodemari, from what I can see) are also well-represented, and the crown jewel of C94's Prison Island is the Wolfsbane dakimakura by Arikawa Satoru himself (in addition to the third Secret Garden book, featuring even more Wolfsbane). Some of this already shows up on Melonbooks (https://www.melonbooks.co.jp/tags/index.php?genre=フラワーナイトガール&text_type=event&name=コミックマーケット94) so that you can be jealous even before the Comiket loot overviews start appearing on Twitter.

Sasayuki also has a FKG book in the works (judging from the profile picture, maybe a continuation of the loli orchid mansion story, with more Dendrobium and more tentacles?), bless his heart. FKG devs' biggest crime is not commissioning more characters from such a paragon of good taste.

I always enjoy how they try to connect these little details to flower trivia. The current event girl's cannon is named Odm1, for example, because she's based on Odontoglossum orchids and Odm is apparently a shorthand for these in the orchid trade, while her fang is possibly because these orchids are named after two distinctive "teeth" on their lower petals.

Similarly, Helichrysum wears a shell bikini because closely related plants are called 帝王貝細工 and 貝細工 in Japanese, after the resemblance of their silvery bracts to shellwork, while Craspedia has a marching band outfit and a wallaby named Billy because it's an Australian plant that is also called "billy buttons" and "drumstick flower". You also have flower meanings to connect some girls, like how Moss Phlox admiring Cactus is possibly because of their matching themes (her "timid heart" and "burning love" to Cactus' "shy maiden" and "burning heart").
