Nyantype Vol. 3 is out and as already mentioned in my previous post, I picked it up alongside with Megami Magazine Vol. 114. Debating which one to review first, I decided to go ahead with Nyantype because I find this volume was somewhat disappointing compared to Megami and the previous 2 volumes of Nyantype.
Off course, as a regular collector of these types of magazines most of the stuff available are already old stuff to me but that doesn’t mean it’s old stuff for you so lets jump in together and enjoy some new and old yummines. xD
This month volume (as predicted) features many articles from this years Fall lineup. A few featured includes, Seitokai no Ichizon (as series focused with many parodies from what I heard), Kampfer, Shin Koihime Musou, Seiken no Blacksmith, Queen`s Blade: Gyokuza o Tsugu Mono and many more.
The only series I’ve started so far is Kampfer and I’m really enjoying it. While the storyline is solid, I literally can’t take it seriously. Not only it’s funny, I reckon it’s a complete joke because I find the characters know we are watching from the other side. I guess what gave me this idea was when they mention the seiyuu names of each other during the show. LOL
The extra content from this volume is a small (almost A4 size) Nanoha Illustration collection book featuring artworks from posters, featured article illustrations and other forms of medium from the past 2 Nyantype volumes. The disappointing thing is, I already have all the illustrations I wanted in a variety of medium so this book is nothing surprising to me.
MIKURU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice :)
WOAH!!!!!! To much for me to handle O_O
Nanoha Illustration collection
This ones my favourite. :D
Readers who are interested in the scan pack can them here.
Overall, an above average volume compared to the 2 previous Nyantype volumes. The Nanoha illustration book was a nice extra goody but as I already mentioned earlier in having all of the illustrations in different mediums, it’s really nothing special to me.
Other than than, a few stand out posters which still made this volume worthy to collect are Holo, Mikuru, the gang from Kanamemo, Haruka and Mikoto and her sister having ice-cream by the pool. If the illustrators keeps this up in driving the sexy appeal out of Mikoto then maybe I might like her after all. lol
Readers who are interested in this volume can still grab a copy at Hobby Search.
If your local bookstore is the way go to get your favourite magazines, then I hope this review has convinced you to run out and grab a copy. xD

kuroko! been loving the railgun fanservice festival so far. hope they don’t muck it up with plot :P
i was gonna say those nanoha illustrations looked awfully familiar. for some reason it seems like a weird thing to rerelease old stuff as extra content (even if it was in other mediums)

Interesting pull out, with though my budget right now I don’t think I want to buy magazines just to have them tug away in a drawer.

@lightningsabre
If ur choosing between Nyantype or Megami this month, then I highly recommend Megami. What u see speaks for itself. :)
@meronpan
It’s a common thing with Megami and now Nyantype because it’s their way in trying to make something new from using something old. Let’s just say, some ppl prefer the illustrations in a different form of medium other than posters. I can see companies who makes t-shirts and other misc. items are taking on this trend as well.
@Wolfheinrich
Ur saving for ur 10th dollfie so I get whatcha mean. :)
@Actar
I recommend this month Megami instead. if u like, u can get both. xD
@Guy
Then this volume is a must for you. xD
@phossil
U as well. U need to grab this issue okay. xD
@Gordanham
That was Vol. 2 and u must cut out a coupon inside, send it to the company with the cash and they will send one out for ya.

But I didn’t see other posters I wanted :P
But it’s really nice that it’s a small artbook, rather than just posters in the magazine.

A Nanoha illustration collection as an extra with the Nyantype? Odd but interesting. Good for those who haven’t got the original artbook/visualbook I suppose :\

@Guy
But when was the last time that has stopped u in getting a particular magazine u wanted? :P
Well, I’m sure there will be other magazines but unfortunately, I doubt I will be reviewing anymore or even related to Megami mags anymore. :(
@Q
If u missed out or didn’t bother the first 2 Nyantype then this volume is for u. :)
