Not sure that it's the good place for put that, but someone know what's manga it is ? (and if possible chapter)

"Sekkaku Cheat wo Moratte Isekai ni Teni shita n dakara, Suki na you ni Ikitemitai."

Or just "Sekkaku Cheat"

Any of you here who is well versed with zakos should know about Space Cobra, the anime/manga from the 1980s. Not every show has a charmingly sadistic Jean-Paul Belmondo lookalike basically committing underwater zako genocide. Yeah, that's right I'm talking about the ever famous Space Cobra seamen (women?). They're a bunch of female zakos genetically altered to breath underwater through their hair. Manga panel for reference (1st image) plus my art (2nd image):

I know that the pink spandex look is more iconic. But, I really have a soft spot for the manga version of the seamen. Their costumes also seem lot more practical in the manga version. The green colour at least offers a bit of underwater camouflage, unlike the conspicuous pink uniforms. Alright now talking about technical art stuff. This is undoubtedly the most impressive thing I've ever done artistically bar none. I finally made use of the multiply feature to ensure that the character blends well with the background. I also wanted to play and experiment a bit with the framing of this piece. I just got fed up with seeing rectangles and invisible backgrounds. Anyways, hope you like the art!

Edit: Minor changes to art

Well done. Solid poses.
Impressive use of blends. Good point on bgs. I sometimes do them for zako art.
Never heard of Space Cobra. Interesting.

Just so we're clear here, the first image is from the manga itself.
The second image is the fanart.

Yep, edited my comment. Figured I'd give a like & post.

Love your artwork.

More of Cobra manga

Yeap these are from early forum (ryonani) days, right?

Outside of these scanned images, this coloured chapter of the manga is actually available online.

Though I would argue that in some cases the scans are superior in quality:

There are no guro images in this work so don't worry.

Your work is truly amazing :D

Anyone remember Koromi Sakura's awesome Shocker-like zako monster girls?

Someone commissioned this artist to draw pics of these zakos.

I commissioned Shayeragal on Deviant Art to draw four more Target Terror zakos: Niki Pink, Niki Dominatrix, Britt Black and Amy Black. Not sure why ND's hair is blonde when it's dark.

I've commissioned Jardel Cruz from Deviant Art to multiple scenes of unused Target:Terror zako Audrey.

1st of 5 OC henchwomen I did, by suggestion from a Discord friend. International Solutions is their group name, and each has a country.
Josefina's the strongest, and is from Mexico. What a woman.

Julie’s sandals are beautiful!

Thanks! Agreed.
And everything about her to me.
Appreciated on the reply. Glad you enjoyed!

Thema has the most stamina, & is from Egypt. Though they have no leader, she sometimes takes charge. One more to post.

Thanks!
I love her details: the gold jewelry, sandals & tattoo. Glad you did as well.
It'd be hard to fight her, with those looks, and her high stamina makes it even more fun.
