The Near Hentai Monthly Lady for March 2025 is Erina Nakiri, a prominent character in Food Wars! Erina starts as a rival/antagonist and becomes more of a love interest/second main character (or even just the full main character at times) later in the series. I decided to pair her with both Yukihira and her assistant, Hisako Arato. Hisako’s a character I’m rather fond of, being kind of an understated/background character who grows into her own through a few spotlight moments.
With this post, NHML nominations for the month of April 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, Food Wars. 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 April 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!
