High School DxD – The Final Count Down + Surprise

All good things most come to an end and High School DxD is no exemption to that rule.

In the latest light novel release for DxD, volume 22, Ichiei Ishibumi has stated he plans to finish the series up to volume 30 leaving Issei with 8 more chapters to build his harem and show off more boobs to the world. And while I won’t spoil as to what happen in the last few volumes in DxD here, for this volume I’ll give some small spoilers to showcase what is to come.

As the cover may suggest, Rias and Akeno graduate from school leaving the Issei and the others behind to continue school and the Occult Research Club. This volume also officially starts Issei plan to build his harem as he is official made into a high-class devil and given his King piece and his own evil pieces to start building his team for Rating Games matches. List below:

Ise’s team.
King = Ise
Queen = Bina Lessthan
Rook 1 = Rossweisse
Rook 2 = Unregistered
Knight 1 = Xenovia
Knight 2 = Irina
Bishop 1 = Asia
Bishop 2 = Ravel
Pawn (3 pieces) = Bova Tannin (Tannin’s son)
Pawn (5 pieces) = Unregistered
#Elmenhilde appears at the very end to join Ise’s group(cliffhanger).

For now Rias’s team covers:
King = Rias
Queen = Akeno
Rook 1 = Koneko
Rook 2 = Unregistered
Knight 1 = Kiba
Knight 2 = Lint Selzan
Bishop 1 = Gasper
Bishop 2 = Valerie
Pawn (8 Pieces) = Mr. Black (God-level or an actual God. Still a mystery)

As for Rias, Issei official proposes to her to be his wife, while later on telling Barakiel he’ll marry Akeno in the future as well volume 10 style.

And while I’m on DxD, you may have notice Kuroka on the cover image I did with Rias and wonder what she has to do with this post since she barely is mention in this volume. Well, last year one of the few merchandise featuring her was a “oppai cushion” pillow that basically sold out quickly and never, that I could find, restock and wasn’t really push in advertising as the only sample of the product available from my search was this image:

Nice right. Now before I continue in the Born season when she’s formally introduced in the anime we get to see her on numerous occasions either fighting, lazing around for Vali, or playful teasing her sister and Issei whenever she got the chance:

Which leaves to the sad portion of the show as Kuroka would only get 2 nude scenes in the entire show with one from a far vantage point wth a shadowing filter with a side pose in episode 2 and the 2nd being a nice fanservice catch scene in episode 7 though not fully capturing her boobs from full frontal prospective. Even with the specials, no love was given to her, leaving many Kuroka’s fans sad with envy as all the other girls get plenty of nude time; even Grayfia got more love in one 5 min special. Hopefully, this is fix whenever season 4 happens.

Returning to the 1st picture above, fortunately for us, the product industry side decided to redeem that error and decided to have Kuroka as one of the few girls, Rias and Asia, from the show to have a 3D style pillow that has her actual boobs sticking out giving us the pure enjoyment in all angles of what she looks like in the nude. Now while I don’t have the pillow itself as it was made in limited quantities and sold at a high price, 16,200 JPY about 160.00 USD, luckily a Reddit user shared a few pictures of her and with the recent release of the Born art book a full-size shot of her can be share here.

Hope you enjoy what I posted here and I would add more content whenever I have the time. If anything I’ll probably do a full review of the Rias 3D pillow since I got that one and do some other content I promised in the past but due to certain issues couldn’t follow through at the time. Until then, Oppai!!
