Shuuko Komi NHML

The Near Hentai Monthly Lady for August 2025 is Shuuko Komi, the mother of Shouko Komi from Komi Can’t Communicate. Some folks were surprised I hadn’t drawn her before, but honestly there’s a lot of Komi’s classmates I was interested in before Shuuko that I still haven’t gotten to. She is in my MomSwap queue, though, which is part of why I didn’t pair her with her daughter here. I had a few options, and I’m partial to a lot of stuff I’ve seen of Shuuko with Najimi from other artists. In the end I decided to go with Tadano, though. I think her getting piped by her daughter’s LI is a fun kind of pairing I haven’t done that often, plus Tadano’s been such a good boy in the Studio I figured he deserved a little treat.

With this post, NHML nominations for the month of September 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, Komi Can’t Communicate. 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 September 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!

Near Hentai Studio Tour – “Down the Rabbit Hole” Patched Version

I don’t usually do this, but there were a couple bugs (no pun intended) and coding errors in the last version of the game that were, uh… bugging me, so I’ve decided to release this little update that fixes them. Since I’m working on the next update, this also comes with a small teaser in the form of three extra characters in the new “Hole in the Wall” location, so if you’re really itching for new Studio Tour content you can get a little bit from there. It’ll probably be a long wait until the next proper full version of the game, of course, but I’m working on it when I can.

EDIT: I can’t seem to do anything right. Somehow some of the script just got deleted without me realizing, so to get the new content included in this patch you’ll want to download this file and put it in your “game” folder (replace the old file with this one): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WSjY6Yu3SGbiUge8-cxN_HHn1eNEY6Pa/view?usp=sharing

Subscriber Scenarios #4 – Player 3 Wins

In the interest of full disclosure, I’d discussed an idea like this with this Subscriber in the past, so I had a pretty good idea of what characters he wanted to see. It just so happens that I’m fond of these characters, too, and it’s a bit of a changeup for each of them as well. Nobara was quite proud of her Smash skills in a flashback, and I’m pretty sure Najimi’s not really on her level. However, one thing Najimi’s good at is annoying other players to throw them off their game, which allowed them to best Nobara and Anzu here. Anzu’s more of a single-player gamer, but I’m sure she could also normally best Najimi. For those interested, they were playing the Switch version of Smash here. Najimi was playing as Mario, Nobara was playing Snake and Anzu was playing Link.

Studio Christmas Party Highlights 2024

As has become tradition, here is a compilation of some moments from this year’s Studio Christmas party. Hiro Hamada won the lottery to get chosen as the official Studio Santa this year, but as you can see he’s not the only one sporting the look. I had a lot of fun putting together this year’s party, and I tried to fit in an eclectic selection of characters. I hope there’s a little something for most everyone here, and I’d like to wish you all Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas.

Butt Witch’s Busy Weekend, Page 12

Here’s the twelfth page of Butt Witch’s Busy Weekend! Najimi was originally going to be the eleventh page, but they got pushed back a spot to make room for Cheetara. They finally get their turn now, and it seems like they had fun. I figured it’d be in-character for them to dress up a bit for the stream, and I’m happy with how the page turned out in the end.

Also, for anyone interested, here is the Q&A video I did for Subscribers last month:

February ’24 One-Shot

The February One-Shot had a very simple premise, to see Goku giving his “special training” to three characters he hadn’t yet in the Studio. It’s a pretty straightforward theme, which I think is nice for the final comic. The three characters this Subscriber chose are Inosuke, Najimi and Kai, who have all been on very different tracks in the Studio so far I think.

Studio Christmas Party Highlights 2023

Continuing the new tradition I started last year, for Christmas this year I want to take a little look at the annual Near Hentai Studios Christmas Party. A couple of these panels were ideas I had last year but couldn’t do, either because I ran out of space or because the character(s) I wanted to use hadn’t publicly debuted yet. Others are just ideas off the top of my head this year, and hopefully we got a fun mix of appeals. Also we get to see our 2023 Studio Santa again, and I immediately had this idea for how Scorpia would work in this role, which I think is fun. At any rate, I hope most of you can enjoy at least one of these panels, and I’m already looking forward to trying out more ideas next year!
