Interesting. And yet the convenient censoring continues...

So how does this work exactly? Is the nude image then shown via the screen of the phone as you scan over it?
Or is it somehow actually displayed on the pages of the book?

Most AR apps use the phone screen to show the image based off a tag on the page, so it's kind of like using a magnifying glass to see invisible ink. Though this sounds a bit more like a step forward which is interesting. Law of first adopters and all that.

Thanks. That's pretty cool actually, if it works correctly.

This does seem pretty cool but wouldn't it be easier if the book was filled with nude pics already so that way your other hand is free to well you know. Wink

I must admit, this idea really is rather brilliant. One that very well laughs at censorship laws.

Instead of limiting distribution under age-appropriateness or being curtailed by censorship laws, now you can have varying degrees of artwork based on the age group. For an example, TLR physical manga would have the girls with proper attire, while with this app, you get the artist's "original intent".

Though personally, I wonder how much extra work Kentaro has to do, to draw two layers worth of artwork?

Really depends on the app. Some aren't too bad but they always trouble showing a consistent image.

Marvel comics had an AR app, it did add some really interesting stuff features such as giving you a preview of the comic in the form of a skit if you scanned the cover. The material you'd get from the actual comics included interviews, motion comics, sound effects, and the like. The problem was that it was terrible at scanning pages (probably due to them being so complex) and worst of all they rotated out what you could scan for newer comics (which really sucked for people like me who buy their comics in trade format). The AR feature is long gone now as the symbol is no longer present in their books.

No idea if you own a 3DS but if you do check out the preinstalled AR Games software to get an idea. It's consistent due to the simplicity of the cards and interesting since 3D models appear from the card. The games are nothing special but it's cool how it involves you moving the system around the card to get a better view.

At least you don't have to hide this from your parents?

To Love-Ru Darkness is really unusual when it comes to approaching the boundaries of hentai subject matter. I think that's part of the charm of that series.

I wouldn't be surprised that a third anime series, dealing with spoiler[Nemesis], comes out in 2017.
