Okay… a flash back… odd, don’t we already know all this?
My guess is that this is what’s going through Bay’s mind right now, while she’s “rebooting”.
Huh… oh well
Funny how petite she was at 16 – must have been a pretty big growth spurt to go from that figure to plastic surgery-level curves in five years lol
I’m expecting Berry to drop advice on Brad/Bay…something that’ll have some significance to Bay’s decision to Tom. I think.
As I recall, Berry tells Bay to get the costume resized to a “D” cup from its current “C” cup so it won’t pinch.
Brad was 16 only? How did he end up living alone in a different country at 16?
Great flash back BTW.
As far as the story goes, CD can do what he desires, but in the real world I think he’d have to be at least 18 and far more likely 20 or 21.
Probably a special acting visa. Remember, this was a fanfiction studio, and in this universe that’s legitimate drama. In our world, if an american 16 year old needs to move to Vancouver to be in a network drama, the studio makes it happen. So it’s not impossible that the reverse is true in this world. A lot of parental permission forms needed, though.
After all this time Bay is way over due for a review of her life. Having family to support, her and faced with a real choice ,she needs this.if you think about it. Brad has been Bay for nearly a third of her life and all of her adult life as a woman. The review should go back further. Why would a 16 year old leave home to live so far away, alone?
Oh, this is just before this comic, https://sailorsun.org/?comic=596-seeing-double
Simultaneously, I think.
Was there ever an image of Brad Smith?
Huh, that’s an interesting question. I don’t remember.
Not that I can recall, at least in-comic. If there was a vote incentive image, Patreon Pin-up, or banner image that included Brad, I might have missed it, but it seems unlikely the author would have done that.
In the flashback where Brad agreed to the “contract extension” that got him turned into Bay in the first place, he was speaking from off-panel. See https://sailorsun.org/?comic=04092007
Considering that chronologically, this comic is mere seconds after the one you linked, it’s amazing to see how CD’s art has evolved over the years.
Wow!
There has not been and I do believe CD has been reserving that for something specific. I had asked about it some time back and he said he had something planned.
Note 1: Am I the only one who likes Bay’s hair this way better?
Note 2: Am I the only one who finds it sad as a society that people expect boys to be touching girl’s breasts by age 16?
Note 3: I don’t ever like doing things it 2s, so I had to make a note 3.
To your note2 there is a difference between expecting touching vs thinking someone would have had a chance to touch.
The girls have agency on what happens to them don’t you think?
Looking at the top panel, all I can think is that I could really do with reading a good old fashioned fukufic, for nostalgia’s sake. Does anyone have some recs?
I’ve been basically working my way through the Ranma+Sailor Moon Crossover fiction on fanfiction.net most of the year…and not for the first time, either.
Check out The Dark Lords of Nerima. It’s part 1, and part 2 is also complete, with Part 3 nearly finished. It’s an epic-length Ranma/Sailor Moon crossover, and incredibly gripping.
Ooh, I’ve been reading that one since part 1. Part two is short (4 or 5 chapters), but brilliantly epic. I might be a chapter or two behind in part 3, but I plan to jam through it all again soon.
Yes, i have thoroughly enjoyed Claymade’s Dark Lord’s work, but it is not really a fukufic though. One of those I really enjoyed was Sailor Hellblazer where John Constantine manages to get himself turned into a magical girl for love and justice and swearing! Even the website it is hosted on is a nostalgic treat:

CM – One of the problems is that it’ really find to find a good fukufic these days that’s more than a chapter or two, and isn’t a decade or more old. Sailor Ranko and Destiny’s Child by Fire are two of the oldest Fukufics out there, and still considered some of the best. Louis-Philippe Giroux’s Lines of Destiny is regarded as one of the great ones, and that’s so old there’s no non-archived website with a copy anymore. It was also never finished by the original author and thusfar all attempts to finish it has been…less than ideal.
There have been others, but just when they are getting good…boom. The author vanishes never to be seen again, leaving you with feeling unfulfilled. A case of literary “blue balls”, as it were. 😛
The problem is these days a lot of fic author are of the opinion that the fukufic is a dead meme, stating “it’s all been done before”. Damn shame, really.
Sailor Ranko was a webcomic too, http://sailorranko.com/
Vimmy Ridge – Yes, it WAS, but the quality of the webcomic was honestly inferior to the original work of fiction. I was personally never fond of Burgerbecky’s reinterpretation of the characters, tending to go more “gag a comic” sometimes than following the actual storyline. Also the jokes that WERE in the original fiction (such as Mr. Miyagi from Karate Kid being who Ranma and Akane were staying with were ignored, like they simply didn’t get it.
All in all, I tended to ignore Burgerbecky’s fiction contribution to the SR universe, as they tended to get megacrossy for no real reason (sudden out of the blue crossovers with Terminator and Godzilla), and chose to stick to Fire’s original Sailor Ranko, Kevin D. Hammel’s Twice in a Millennium, and Arthur Hanson’s Black Moon, Eclipse of the Sun, a fic that was started, but not finished before Rebecca took over the franchise. I find that to be a much more coherent progression.
That is sadly true that it seems to be a dead genre. 🙁
I wish I knew how to change that.
No, I would not. Of course if I were Ranma I would have move to death valley.
I guess the next comic will be posted either Wednesday or Friday?
