Black Bullet(ブラック・ブレット) [Light Novel]
 

Story: Shiden Kanzaki
Illustration: Saki Ukai

This light novel is published under the Dengeki Bunko(Index, Sword Art Online, Ore no Imouto, Durarara) label. Currently there are 4 volumes out. There is also a manga adaptation coming out and the first manga chapter will be published in Dengeki Maoh magazine on August 27th.

Baka-Tsuki has started a Teaser Project for this and the Prologue chapter of volume 1 has been translated. It seems interesting and the illustrations are really good. Hopefully more people are interested to translate this.

Seems fine, although not my style.

Seems kind of dark based on the illustrations. Looks pretty good. It reminds me of another work but I don't remember it.

Kikou Shoujo wa Kizutsukanai? The eyes are similar

Finished reading chapter 1 part 1.

Very nice introduction. I have high hopes for this.

I don't read Black Bullet (not yet anyway), I just so happen to stumble upon this by accident though ;)

Volume 4 was just harsh. 520 days? Christ.

I really wanted to ask you for a summary for each volume of the novels, but I'm looking forward to see this novel gets translated so I can read it myself.

To be spoiled or not to be spoiled?

Such dilemma.

Mmmm. Hold off on asking from spoilers. It's much better once you read it for yourself. The punch at the end of Volume 4 gets to hurt so much once you have an idea just why 520 days sucks.

Guess I'll be patient, then.

I just learned about this series. I already started building profiles for it in the wiki database Anime Vice.

I'm still translating the characters list, and I've added some pretty good sized images for the covers of Volume 2 and 3.

The 1st chapter of the manga is out today.

Here's a pic from the manga illustrator to commemorate the serialization.

Only read first couple of volume, story is great but.....

EXACTLY. Jesus christ, it tears me up every time I see how many days are left. ;_;

I'm thinking of making this series my next purchase, but the author loves to use words that take quite a bit of looking up to them, so I'm on the fence with this one. Definitely good, though.

The first chapter of the manga just got scanlated.

Second chapter scanlation out:

Seems to be a lot of manga with virus turning people into monsters, but also into superhumans lately.

Wow, didn't know we had a thread for this. I'm the type that prefers spoilers, so

I didn't notice this until now. Apologies for the late reply!

FFFFFFFFF-------
