Konome Kiritani by Daiki Kougyou
Project details
Not much has changed in 48 days; Konome Kiritani is still the gorgeous kendo captain in Shiwasu no Okina’s “Pisu Hame!” with generous proportions to boot. What has changed is the manufacturer in Daiki Kougyou and the fact that Konome now appears to be in orbit around Earth.
One may choose to remove skirt, shirt and underwear. You may also add a separate bottom portion of the shirt should you remove said skirt for a more natural look. What is puzzling however is the manufacturer’s decision to leave the shirt sleeves intact when the character is considered fully nude.
Compared to the original art seen on the wall scroll (included through an AmiAmi special) I’d say that the difference is, mildly put, hefty.
Compared to OFE’s version Daiki’s take on Konome is less bold and more hesitantly inviting towards the viewer.

I’m not a fan of this figure – weird proportions, awkward pose – but I do want to compliment your photos! Anatomical correctness is a plus at least, and her face isn’t bad.

Shiwasu no Okina’s art isn’t very consistent and as you read Pisu Hame! you’re constantly reminded that Konome’s backside is of a legendary scale. Perhaps that information was taken too literally by sculptor Itoyasu.
I guess the pose is a bit off since the hand and arm requires the presence of the skirt to suggest that she’s slowly pulling it up. It’s an alright figure, certainly not on Native’s level but the good thing about Daiki Kougyou is that they consistently put out decent looking figures of characters you most likely would never see from the bigger companies.

First, the new theme is very appealing, also my blogroll plugin can now see when you have new content. Second, the dojo is cute.
lol I have to ask this, is Konome Kiritani your Sonico? :p
I like this version a lot more, her face is lovely and the sculpt is more appealing, well her ass is huge and I like the sag of her boobs (￣▽+￣*). Other areas also show attractive details. Konome is a big girl but still has an acceptable chubbyness.
Too bad about the sleeves, but the figure is nice, no matter in which castoff state.
The pictures are sweet, 11, 13, 01 or 03 it makes her look damn attractive ^^
“Daiki doesn’t leave you with much of a choice as they’ve made Sir Mix-a-Lot look white.” ahhhhhhhhhh XD

Migrating to WordPress was needed for several reasons, one being having a responsive design so that mobile users wouldn’t have to scroll horizontally for ten minutes when going cheek to cheek.
If there was a Sonico equivalent it would probably be Gamer Girl and I doubt we’ll see any more of her anytime soon. There were plenty of delays in my January schedule so this figure would’ve been the third of fourth in order had they not occured.
I’d bet that most would prefer Daiki’s version over OFE’s, me included. The contrast between the two is something I found interesting to portray and I’m pleased with what both figures had to offer in that regard.
It’s an odd decision to leave the sleeves put but it’s worth mentioning that the cast-off feature is very well done with pieces going on and off like clockwork.
