So I was just mindlessly checking out Pandora in the Crimson Shell, since I hear it's ending now or something, and I find this little funny detail here on one of the pages. Seems like Rikudou might be once again making another crossover with Excel Saga. Always kind of wondered if he was, just based on some of the art he'd post on his Twitter, but now here's concrete proof of it.

...I think I may need to read this series now.

UPDATE:

Nevermind on all this. Turns out half this series is just a bunch of incredibly on-the-nose callbacks and cameos to Rikudou's previous works, and that weird Yugioh monster is no exception (and the other half is a surprisingly captivating story for what's nothing more than a yuri magical girl manga written by a dirty old man).

It's a shame this forum died before this series really took off, I would have loved to see what people thought about it. Personally, those first few volumes were excruciating in how saccharine and one-dimensional everything was (especially the protagonist), but it kinda started to grow on me once the story started having an actual plot around volume 5 or 6. It's so weird, but really fun in its own little way.
