I've been revisiting Galaxy Angel lately, and so this is perfect timing!! I was just wondering what ever happened to Kanan/Ootsuki post-GA. I hope to be able to check this out sometime. The summary makes it sound an awful lot like Simoun though, doesn't it?

Aye, but the logic behind who stays female and who doesn't may be different.

I love Galaxy Angel but the character designs for this one is so...
Eh, I wonder if Otsuki will ever create another Forte.

Maaan, what ever happened to the days of the mid-to-late 90s and early 00s, when every harem and bishoujo show had a six foot tall red-haired lady who could break a guy's back with her forearms? (See: Sakura Taisen, Saber Marionette, Rune Soldier) The Forte character type is one that's really gone extinct in recent years. Bring it back, I say!

Haha, I don't even remember the token redhead 'butch' in those (well, I've watched Sakura Taisen and Saber Marionette). I really like Forte though (both in the manga/game and anime versions) and it was nice of Ootsuki to give a nod to Forte's female fandom in the manga.

Judging by the character designs it looks like the tomboy will ----> boy. Would be a lot more interesting, honestly, if it would have been the timid one. But I could be pleasantly wrong I guess.

I don't think I like this concept much.

You know I'd forgotten all about that kind of character.
I guess Risty in Queen's Blade is sort of like that, but due to the show being full of various other types of super-human warrior women she doesn't really stand out the way those characters normally do.

Well, she's not a redhead, but Naomasa might be of interest to you.

You may be surprised! (I suddenly realized that you can read the whole first chapter (in Japanese) on the page linked in the article; click the black bar under the picture of the main character to the left, and then when a new window pops up, hit the silver button and the reader will open. From what I can gather, this series is... bizarre.)

Forte is totally the best. I have a ridiculous affection for all the GA characters, but Forte is ~dazzling. It makes me a little melancholy that apparently the general otaku audience doesn't find characters like her attractive or cool anymore...

I got the impression that Forte's fandom was always a little niche even when GA first rolled in the early to mid 2000s, and I'm always a little surprised when I see how big that niche is.
(edit: and, if it needs any saying -- I am absolutely in love with her)

This premise reeks the bait and switch lesbians trope. I'll be surprised if those two girls stay as girls after hooking up.
