The first Near Hentai Monthly Lady of 2025 is Rangiku from Bleach, a character I think a lot of people like. I don’t really remember much of her from when I watched/read Bleach, she always just kinda seemed like that show’s Tsunade. She also pairs well with Orihime, similar to Tsunade and Sakura, but I decided to pair her with Bleach’s protagonist Ichigo instead. Ichigo’s one of the few major shounen protagonists to not be in the studio yet, so I figured this could be his moment.
With this post, NHML nominations for the month of February are now open. For those who don’t know, I’ll run down the rules real quick. Nominations are limited to one per person. You can nominate any female character you want, provided I have not drawn her within the past calendar year (though I prefer characters I’ve never drawn, period). Previous NHML winners are not eligible for a second time. Nominees must also not be from the same franchise as this month’s winner, Bleach. If you violate any of those rules, I’ll let you know, and you can nominate someone else. I know it can be hard to keep track of these things. You may nominate by either commenting in the cBox, commenting on this post, or emailing me (Nearphotison2010@yahoo.com). I’ll compile a list of the nominees in the sidebar of this site, and then on February 1st I will use a randomizer to select the winning character who I will proceed to draw sometime that month. I look forward to seeing who you all nominate this time around!
