I don't know if you've ever heard of Queen's Blade or not. It probably depends on how "into" Japanese nerd culture you are. In a nutshell, Queen's Blade is a popular spin-off series of combat books from the Japanese table top series Lost Worlds. Queen's Blade (as far as I can tell) has far surpassed its original in terms of popularity due to one very important thing:Boobs.
Yes, Queen's Blade features only female characters, most (if not all) of which are, well (ahem), not exactly dressed for the types of activities they allegedly participate in (like adventuring and dragon-slaying).
The risque series has spawned comics, figures, and even a TV anime (among "other things"). Namco Bandai knows an opportunity when they see one, and have recently announced that they will be releasing an SRPG for PSP based on Queen's Blade, called Spiral Chaos.
The game will feature the main characters from the series, and even include risque cut-ins placed liberally throughout the title.
Queen's Blade: Spiral Chaos will be available for PSP sometime this winter in Japan. There is no way in hell that it will see North American shores, so if you think this might be something you're interested in, you're probably looking at importing.
Also, it is a bad idea to Google Queen's Blade at work or around other people.
