Two characters will be released as free downloadable content this summer.

Mako Mankanshoku (voiced by Aya Suzaki)

Mako is a second year student at Honnouji Academy. She is an uber air-head, so her unbelievable actions never cease to shock and awe the people around her. She strongly believes that she and Ryuko are best of friends even though they have just met.

Ultimate Double Naked DTR (voiced by Shinichiro Miki / Katsuyuki Konishi)

The ultimate form of the Anti-Honnouji Academy Mechanized Weapon: Dotonbori Robo DTR (Dotonbori Robo), developed by Takarada Conglomerate under Nudist Beach’s technical assistance. The final form is achieved by combining both Aikuro Mikisugi’s and Tsumugu Kinagase’s DTRs.

Finally, the publisher also showed off the pre-order bonuses for various Japanese retailers. While all first-print copies of the game in Japan will get a Mako key-chain, some retailers will be luring customers in with some amazing goodies like tapestries!
