4	'''''[[http://iothera.com/ Iothera]]''''' is a ScienceFantasy webcomic by RMG. It is a [[TheRemake descendant]] of ''[[http://uploaded.net/file/d97kq7e8 The Midlands]]'' and ''Webcomic/{{Heliothaumic}}'', with several of the same characters. Like ''The Midlands'', it often shows characters' words and thoughts simultaneously. (Be wary when reading, as some pages are NSFW.)

6	Unfortunately, no updates to the comic have been posted since 2017. The author's Tumblr blog is still active, however.

8	!!''Iothera'' provides examples of:
9	* CostumePorn: From traditional Chartannian clothing to modern Kyokanese, clothes are drawn in great detail.
10	* CovertPervert: Maureen holds a perfectly civil conversation while thinking about sex with Cassandra. Cassandra is impressed.
11	* FantasyCounterpartCulture: Kyokan resembles Japan; Chartannia resembles the British Empire[[note]]it even looks like a mirrored and slightly tilted Great Britain on the world map[[/note]]; Beiguo and Nanguo resemble China.
12	* {{Magitek}}: Iotheran technology incorporates a lot of magic.
13	* NippleAndDimed: Averted. In-universe, Redwater club fashion apparently includes exposed breasts, as shown in a flashback to the night Cassandra and Maureen first met, so they apparently don't believe in this trope. (Judging from Maureen's remarks, Chartannians are more reserved.)
14	* {{Precursors}}: the Seb attained spaceflight, then apparently vanished.
15	-->'''Cassandra:''' We still don't really know who the Seb were — or how they built the Red Towers — or why they were on the moons — or even what all the stuff they left behind ''does''.
16	* TheRemake: ''Iothera'' is a remake of ''Webcomic/{{Heliothaumic}}'', which is a remake of ''[[http://uploaded.net/file/d97kq7e8 The Midlands]]''.
17	* RummageSaleReject: Takako does not “dress to please others”.
18	-->'''Cassandra:''' I know not wearing the entire ROYGVIB spectrum at once is anathem to you, but...
19	* ScienceFantasy: Astronauts, lunar colonies, and faster-than-light travel are mentioned in the same breath as elves and magic.
