Singer-seiyuu Marina Inoue (Gurren Lagann’s Yoko, Maria Holic’s Matsurika) has already had her impressive art skills displayed here before, and she seems to have developed quite a taste for drawing as new art of hers continues to come online.
Inoue seems to be coming closer to fellow otaku idol Shoko-tan’s level of artistic accomplishment, although not nearly as disturbing as Shoko-tan’s own guro artwork…
These two pages are the only two of a short manga Inoue has so far uploaded; she apparently has completed 8 pages of her magical girl story, Kuma-tan Senshi Hoippu-chan (Bear-tan Warrior Hoippu-chan).
Despite the utter lack of context of the plot, here is a rough translation of the above page:
(Hoippu-chan)
Y-You…You…are the only one I can never, EVER FORGIVE!!!
(Man)
W-What is this power…!?
(Bear-face-thing)
Incredible…
This Kuma-tan power that’s overflowing…it’s like nothing I’ve ever felt before…
Is this really Hoippu-chan’s true Kuma power?!
(Hoippu-chan)
You…BASTARD!!!!!
It is obviously hard to make heads or tails of what is going on, except that kuma (bear) power is direly needed somewhere, and Hoippu-chan appears to be supplying it.
She definitely looks to be up to the challenge of a magical girl in any case, as her depiction on the particularly attractive cover shows:
Future updates are likely to appear on Marina Inoue’s personal blog.
Her official Aniplex site may also be of interest.

her drawings are really cute.... :3 behhh
cuteness
I now love Marina Inoue even more.
Funny. I said this to the earlier Marina Article.
Wow, a little more and she would be horrifyingly close to Mine Yoshizaki's style.
It already looks similar to Atsuko Nakajima's style.
Kuma = Pedobear.
PEDOBEAR POWER!!! IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!
Looks like GL largely influenced her, especially on hair and eyes.
Also everyone seems to be forgetting cute art =/= good manga. Unless it's really bizarre, the story seems as generic as they could possibly come.
Try telling people that moe =/= good.
Pedobear: the manga
Oh japan, what is your obsession with little girls and bears? Why not go back to using cats?
Because cats are for shoutas and bears are for lolis. Haven't you ever heard of Shouta cat? Pedobear is to little girls as Shota cat is to little boys.
Cute. but what's with the bear face thing. Peodobear or something?
Would probably look a lot better after being inked.
I thought it was cute.
Heh, she, along with minorin and Rina Satou did some manga about ninomiya kin and sensei I. Their minaki ke radio show, art was pretty good too
Magical girl mango, I'll wager that it's major Mary Sue.
Still, Inoue is one of my favorite seiyuu, so this is icing on the cake. Even if her plot ends up being like every magical girl story in the history of forever.
Is any magical girl story not like any other magical girl story? If Inoue ends up taking this and running with it, and in the very last arc years down the road, the protagonist doesn't fight a Final Boss who was responsible for all the previous major baddies along the way, I'll buy you a beer.
(Don't think I won't read the hell out of it, though.)
Naw that's not how you do it. Just make all the oppais big, than it would POP POP.
W-What is this power…!?
Now all it needs is a GOOD STORY
Need scanlations. NEED THEM NOW.
I've said this before and I'll say it again: Marina's drawings show much more potential than Shoko-tan's. I'm looking forward to seeing where she takes her hobby.
Hello everyone!
This morning I have found a very funny toon about the office workers everyday life.
I recommend this for all to elevate your mood.
I helped))
You can watch this toon <a href=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QG-cxPKYjM
here
Dont worry - be smile))
d'aaaawwww~
i wonder if she'll join comiket with this? :P
The art style reminds me of the OP for episode 7 of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Season 2
roffle fujioka's the mascot
damn...shes good!
HER KUMA POWER WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS!!!!!
cute and amazing warm feeling!
looks like rough sketches but i'll wait if she put on some finishing touches.
The hard part there is the inking...
messing up is just not an option, but you can erase them anyway...
or just scan it and draw over it with a good software...
She is cute in the same time her art is cute as well :3
bear face thing reminds me of minami ke fujioka bear. somehow the mahou shoujo reminds me of alicia/kana mix. a mix of past experiences? haha all in all marina inoue is amazing with her talents!
looks, voice, and now drawing... very marriable.
Hoippu-chan resembles a younger Yoko, actually.
This is really nice!
She's good, really good...
very good :D
at drawing..
Nicely done!
O.o
Well... That was really ...
Umm... yeah...
Loaded with "d'aaawww~" X3
u learned how to draw =]
Soooooooooooooo talented! :D
Second..
I think, with each submission she makes, we will see improvements more and more each time.
I think it was sarcasm... :D
LOL'd @ "Bear-face-thing"
No really honest! She can dance, sing and draw. FTW
i love her voice.but her shoujo drawing was,err err.
but i know she can draw other genre and its damn good also
doood... shecan finally voice a character she designed herself... she'll proudly say... "that is ME!"
well at least she got her own style
nicely done though
The Bear-face-thing will never cease to amaze me.
it will be 9000 times hotter if she draw yuri hentai! :D
