K-ON! Azusa Nakano Gallery

k_on_azusa_nakano_01

Azunyan Nakano gallery sums up my K-ON! gallery series. I don’t think the other K-ON! girls are worthy enough to have their own galleries unless someone manages to convince me otherwise ^^. Azunyan may not have as many fans as Yuri or Mio but considering her appearance late in the series, she has quite number of fans. I mean who does not like nekomimi anyways ^^. This post may NSFW so proceed with caution and I am not responsible for anything if you are viewing this at work. Grab your co workers with you so you won’t be the only culprit ;p.

  • K-ON! Ritsu Tainaka Gallery

    ritsu_tainaka_01

    Without even realizing it, it becomes a ritual/habit for me to post a gallery on every Monday to start my week and hopefully, it will keep going as long as I can ^^.  Following up from my K-ON girls gallery , we start another great week with some images from Ritsu Tainaka. Hopefully, this gallery can boost her polling count ^^. A quick question for fellow bloggers, do you post certain posts on a particular day of week ? or do you just post randomly whenever you feel like it. Aside from my Monday gallery post, I have my monthly post of Claymore manga chapters. So far I am enjoying the weekly/monthly post routine but things may change in the future.

  • K-ON! Tsumugi Kotobuki Gallery

    tsumugi_kotobuki_01

    Lurking around the Internet in search for Tsumugi Kotobuki large resolution images is not as challenging as I thought it would be. It’s only fair to post some images of other K-ON members aside from Mio and Yui and maybe with this post, Tsumugi can gain some fans ^^. Last week when I posted Yui’s gallery, I was quite surprised that Yui is leading as the favourite among my regular readers/lurkers since I was sure that Mio would out-poll others easily. Note that this post may NSFW so proceed at your own risk and if you are viewing this at work, make sure to drag your co-worker with you ^^.

    K-ON! easily raised its popularity since the start of the show and it’s all due to one of the character, Mio Akiyama. She is shy-type who everyone loves and not that I am trying to put down other characters. This post is dedicated to Mio Akiyama’s fans wherever you are so enjoy this gallery of high resolution wallpapers mainly from Konachan. All Hail Mio!!!
