The Near Hentai Monthly Lady for October 2025 is Lara Tybur, a minor and somewhat enigmatic character from the latter part of Attack on Titan. She’s mysterious to the point that, to my knowledge, she wasn’t even named until an info splash screen of the anime adaptation, being just an unnamed Tybur woman in the manga. Lara’s role in the series is largely functional, an excuse to introduce a power and not much else. Fans of the series will likely note there’s not really any point in the canon where a meeting like this would occur between her and Eren. I did toy briefly with some other possible dance partners for her, but decided to default to a protagonist-first approach. Just think of this as an AU where Eren had a very different plan in mind to acquire the Warhammer Titan.

With this post, NHML nominations for the month of November 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, Attack on Titan. 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 November 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!
