クイーンズブレイド グリムワール

Queen's Blade Grimoire (クイーンズブレイド グリムワール) is a series of visual combat books published by Hobby Japan, and is the fourth series of gamebooks in the Queen's Blade franchise. Unlike Queen's Blade and its sequel, Queen's Blade Rebellion, which are directly linked, Grimoire is an all-new story set in a parallel universe. This series maintains the basic concept of Queen's Blade but introduces new characters and storylines. The setting is in Mel Fair Land, a country of endless summer where humans and other species coexist with magic. The story revolves around the appearance of the "Devil of Winter," and according to astrologer's predictions, only someone wielding the legendary "Queen's Blade" can defeat it. Therefore, the "Naked Queen" who rules the country gathers the most powerful and beautiful warriors from all over the world for a tournament to find the most suitable champion. However, these warriors are not here to save the world, but rather have their own agendas, filling the tournament with unexpected events. The Grimoire series also includes OVA animations, related manga, and merchandise, further expanding the series' universe.
