Ah Aldra! The former Queen of the Capital of Gainos! The Girl with with the Meat Rendering Blades! The Girl who totally got ingnored by the Otakusphere for said Blades! Shes back! This time shes armed with a much more crowdpleasing weapon! The Charm of a caring and loving housewive! Find out who shes married to right after the Jump!
Yup,Aldra is married and what sounds like another awkward move of HobbyJapan, turns into one on ingenuity when you realize that shes married to you,the player. Aldra should prove to be a real crowd pleaser this time, now that those phallic blades are gone, but HobbyJapan of course delivers a worthy substitute in form of LunaLuna
Her character was designed by a guy named Kantaka,which I sadly havent heard of before but a quick search on Gelbooru revealed that he designed the Original Aldra.Furthermore he seems to be the guy responsible for the Characters in Koihime Musou and some kinky Idolmaster Art.
I could write up a paragraph about Aldra by myself but since Fabio of Synergetic Beans already translated her Character Profile Ill just repost it here:
Summoner Aldra
” Ill do my best for you! “
The half-demon that once won two successive Queen’s Blade championships and ruled as the “Bewitched Queen”.
In the last tournament, the Demon Delmore, the source of her super-extraordinary powers was torn-off from her and she was defeated. By losing most of her powers, her body that had stopped growing reverted to its true form.
After that, she embarked on a journey to find her lost sister but she suffered memory loss.
What saved the physically and mentally exhausted Aldra was the “love” from a certain man. They married and Aldra’s heart was healed.
A short-lived happy live began before the war between the Queen’s Army and the Rebel Army spread through the whole Continent. To protect her loved husband, she was determined to throw herself in the fight. She will use her innate summoning skills again. She summoned and made a contract with the Underworld dwellers Belphe and Dogor. However, those two are a dangerous threat that plots to eat their contractor Aldra when they get the opportunity!!
STATS
Height: 163cm
Bust: 87
Waist: 57
Hip: 85
Occupation: Gondolier
Arms: War paddle (oar)

I most certainly didnt expect this turn of Events for Aldra since the Anime hinted that she becomes a nun along with Melpha.This could be of course just another inconsistency of the Anime but most likely theyll explain the change in profession in one of the future OVAs.One of the simpler reasons I can think of is that since a Nun cant marry she probably left the church to marry her sweetheart but maybe her Mamoru past plays another role in this.
As long as we dont get any answers by HJ these assumptions will remain unanswered for now.
Lets take a look at Aldras Outfit for a Moment and lets discuss the crass change in Aldras Apperance.There are two possibilities for the changes made to Aldra:
A: Her new Outfit is supposed to resemble the change of heart that Aldra experienced after getting seperated from the evil Demon Delmore. Her former Outfit was designed to show off her absolute power with spikes,blades and an aggresive colour scheme to impose fear and uncertainty in stark contrast to the cute and loving Aldra of today.
B: Hobby Japan realized that Girls with things resembling certain male bodyparts dont sell and tried to make her as Moe as possible as a counter measure.
Since HJ released another Girl with clearly phallic appendages and even a TRAP I prefer Theory A, unless they are actually aiming for financial loss with those two XD
Check out Persocoms Blog for more thoughts on Aldra
Without much further Ado I finally present you what you came for anyways: the pictures!
As usual you can find the 2P Colour behind the Dustcover
The Character Relation Chart finally gets populated!
One thing I noticed throughout the book is that the Size of her boobs varies quite a bit.I have no Idea if this is intended or just coincidence.
Now arent those two summons cute eh…stuffed animals?
Nothing beats the good old myserious white liquids somehow ending up on girls
I wonder what role the golden sealing bind (?) will play throughout QB Rebellion.Its located on her former “evil” arm…Maybe it still needs sealing?
Now thats something original!
Aldras Healing Move is on par with Nyx`s!
The Usual Conversations at the end of the book plus the character profiles of Aldra`s Summons
The Character Card and one of the AmiAmi Preorder Bonuses for ordering the Limited edition that came with a Original Aldra Revoltech!
As you probably noticed my Blog is still on semi-hiatus since my flat still hasnt been fixed and Im still stuck at my mothers place.Its really hard to get somewhat decent shots of anything in this flat and as you can see in this post the quality of these is still somewhat dubious.I do hope youre gonna stick with me some more though!
I have one major thing going on and a few other figures like Momohime and Siggy also arrived at my doorstep
Until next Time,
Blowfish Over and Out
Great review, your pictures look much better than mine, I need a better set up for book pictures XD Any suggestions? Anyways I love this book, now I need to hunt down the original Aldra book one of these days.
These pictures were taken during the time where I had to stay at my moms place because of mold in my place.
Took these outside on her balcony so theres no real secret behind these pictures
Aldra needs more Love!
I must say I prefer Queen Aldra to this Housewife Aldra. Her hair style and face were a lot cuter before she went all moe.
Those demons she summons look more like stuffed toys gone rogue
Her demon form seeping through looks bad ass.
Did you get the book with Aldra Revoltech?
That is interesting to know the artist of Sousou and a few other Koihime Musou characters also designed Aldra.
Oh this reminds me, you might be interested in this little application. It lets you play with the Battle Books electronically against other people or CPU.

Yep, this was AmiAmis Limited Edition including the Revoltech figure.
I must say I like the original Aldra Design more aswell but I guess they learned the hard way that girls with appendages down there dont sell?
Thanks for the link! Thats totally awesome!
Those two stuffed animals are the best!
You always tend to like the cute stuff huh?
The Bear thing is a poon hound! XD
Such dirty words outta your mouth?
o.0
Hawt~
Glad to see the crotch blade gone…Not so much the petite never aging body though. T_T
Ah I guess psuedo-lolis can’t be housewives or some such…discrimination I say!
I was actually a long time shocked by her meat rendering blades but after I got to know her more closely I really started to like Aldra`s Original Design. Sure I like these boobs more but the rest? Its alright but Ill gladly take the old one any time ^^
