Kirara Amanogawa NHML

The Near Hentai Monthly Lady for June 2025 is Kirara Amanogawa, or Cure Twinkle, from Go! Princess Pretty Cure. I’ve only seen a couple versions of Pretty Cure, and this isn’t one of them, but I do like Kirara’s design. The first image that came up when I searched her had her in a cute hat, but sadly that doesn’t seem to be part of her regular design.
I went back and forth on a few options for what to do for her pic. I considered pairing her with her mother, but I decided instead to just add her to my list for MomSwap. It’ll be over a year until her turn comes around, but she should show up at least one more time in that series. Looking at her teammates I had a few good options, but decided instead to do something a little different have all four of them pose together. Doing it like this would make it less of a time-eater, ’cause I don’t like the NHML to take too long to get out, but I decided to add this first panel because I felt I needed to draw at least Kirara’s face. I included Towa, who probably would’ve been her partner if I’d decided to just do a two-girl pic. This allowed me to also provide a reason for the pose, sort of, and create a bit more of a complete picture, I think. It’s a bit different than what I usually do for NHML, but I hope y’all will like it.
With this post, NHML nominations for the month of July 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, Pretty Cure. 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 July 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!

Ciel Kirahoshi NHML

The winner of the October Near Hentai Monthly Lady is Ciel Kirahoshi, also known as Cure Parfait in KiraKira☆Pretty Cure A La Mode. I’ve only personally seen one version of PreCure, and that’s Smile PreCure! (before Netflix rebranded it as Glitter Force). That being said, the reason I watched Smile at all is that I have a close friend who is a big fan of the franchise, so I have a lot of adjacent familiarity with it and the characters. That same friend is part of why I’m not super invested in drawing PreCure much, but here for this pic I decided to pair Ciel up with Usami Ichika (Cure Whip), the protagonist of KiraKira.

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.
