Enjoy this spicy Towa.

I’m dying to know who tied him up, but this page only has Towas. No clue whatsoever. We’ll never know.

Slow Damage artbook - translation

My attempt at translating the SD artbook, including mostly comments from the artist Yamada Uiro plus other fun tidbits about the characters.

You know how there's figures based on this picture, right?

Check out the alt version:

Here goes an unexpected megane compilation.

One of Rei's beta designs wore GLASSES??? (sorry megane fans, but personally I'm glad they have changed it. The combination of glasses and this hairstyle looks kinda weird to me)

I think I might have seen a finished version of this online

Towa trying on Fujieda's glasses (awww cute)

So I was looking at some artbook page I found online and

I have never seen these before lmao

Post dedicated to all the Mizuno fans out there, which are @night-willows and……….. someone somewhere maybe I think???

I can totally see why N+C eventually changed his design so much. He looks like a clown here lol. Would draw a lot of attention. And his entire point was to look all dull and harmless. Makes me wonder whether his personality was supposed to be different as well.

(@night-willows I know you mostly love Asakura, but your Kirihara drawing from months ago is forever stuck in my head because I thought that fucking NO ONE liked him lol)

Cute TakuTowa. Possibly an alt version of the handholding CG?

Notice that in comparison to the final CG, in this one it's Taku who's holding Towa's hand.

They were considering making Fujieda a smoker???

Pretty sure most people have seen this page already since it's on the wiki (where I've grabbed it from for sake of image quality) but can we just appreciate the curves?

Compiling evidence to prove my non-weeb friend wrong after he called Madarame flat.

These are from the artbook (sorry for cropping out so much, I don't want to be b+a+n+n+e+d (scared to ever type the word lol)).

No tats again on the one below, so for a sec I thought this could be Fujieda but nope, these must be younger Madarame and Towa – the body size difference is huge, and this picture was right next to more images of Madarame and Towa.

This one is from Yamada Uiro’s xitter.

And these are from the game (DUH).

My friend is EXTREMELY sensitive and vanilla, I HAD TO censor Towa here TToTT

Even tumblr itself agrees that the booba are big.

Impressively big.

Too big to handle.

Gonna send him all of this now. He’s into 3D. so I think he just hasn't encountered as many skinny bishies as we have, and therefore cannot recognise and appreciate the ＴＨＩＣＣ when he sees it.

YEET (ノ◕‿◕)ノ彡┻━┻

[mallardducksaysquack]

Ever since @ruskatuskapuskasapuska has pointed out that one of Eiji's beta designs looks like a fan-made child of Eiji and Inada I’ve got this perfectly logical, reasonable and legit theory, that Inada wears his huge jacket to hide the fact that he got sweetpooled and mpreged, and Eiji now claims that he’s not interested in sex because he knows he’s too damn fertile to risk it ever again.

[mallardducksaysquack]

Eiji's beta designs look so strange to me.

This one kinda reminds me of Shuichi from Danganronpa V3

And these ones make me absolutely convinced that Eiji and Inada started out as a single character

The artbook has arrived woohoo!

I'll be posting some lil fun stuff in #sd artbook tidbits

Unfortunately I only have a crappy phone camera and a yellow-lit room, so the quality won't be that good, but I think it will at least satisfy some curiosity.

There's a part where I can see Towa's butt from different angles. I won't breach the tumblr TOS and lose my account if I mark it as "nudity" in the "Mature" settings, right...? Some time ago one of my posts got flagged, but I didn't use that setting, so it should be ok if I do?

[mallardducksaysquack]

So how old is Taku supposed to be? The artbook says 45 while the game says 46 (at least the English ver).

Taku has stated that he’s 46 in an interrogation – I can’t remember if the line was fully voiced, and he actually pronounced the number. If not, I might have to check in the JP ver, but atm I don’t have time to play it. Does anyone know where this discrepancy is coming from?
