Well... it had better be a whopper of a good revelation because otherwise he's likely to need personal security from crazy mad fans. Personally, I thought the uni setting was going well and was a relatively bold. It just seems like a natural to chronicle the rise to fame of a music group and not to do that would be a missed opportunity.

Well, we're getting our third season apparently. Yay?

No, the article is saying that Pony Canyon's music earnings dropped during the last fiscal year and inferred it was due to a lack of K-On! related CDs. With that article, someone on 2ch said "With this, they might not have a choice but to go with a season 3."

Thanks for the clarification. Editing moving on.

Wouldn't that be great if that indeed did drive an adaptation of the university years and more CDs?

Sorry, Kakifly, but it just seems to me you're nuts if you bid adieu to the university setting. Here's hoping again he's just merging the story for manageability.

Well, if I'm permitted a little tin foil hat moment, I'll suggest that it might not have been his decision. (Just wild speculation on my part, though, so nobody take that and run with it please...)

Now that I think about it, I got that same vibe from the grand finale announcement as well- that the editors/the publisher might have put some pressure on kakifly to halt/deal with the university side of the manga.
I always assumed that the university side wasn't as popular (in comparison to the newer high school side) in Japan though...

You tend to see less art of the girls in University (or at least not noticably in University) while you can find art of Azusa's bunch with Sumire and Nao. It is rather uncommon to find stuff for Akira and more so for anyone else in the University side of things.

...and a quick browse of Pixiv can pretty much verify this.

Vexx · 2012-05-15, 22:24

yeah, I'm afraid the domestic pocketbooks may be wanting "never-ending high school"... all I can say is I'll be disappointed if that turns out to be the case (again).

I'll be blunt: I don't see HTT ever becoming a serious band in that sense.

I agree. The one character who we'd expect to be able to speak authoritatively about the prospects of HTT going pro, Yui, is dismissive of the idea. In the University manga, she states that she doesn't get what it means to "go pro," and, for that matter, says that it'd be hard to do even if she wanted to do it. She does state, however, that she is a great fan of playing music because it is fun, and seeing what comes out of that.

Ithekro · 2012-05-15, 23:52

Mugi will do anything is it is fun.
Mio and Ritsu would be the ones to think about going pro if any. Yui just doesn't really think of that sort of stuff.

If anyone would pressure them into going pro though....it would be Azusa.

That reminds of a certain doujinshi..... Where Yui goes pro

Although honestly, I always thought of Ui going pro rather than Yui if K-on were headed towards being a serious music story (like a certain fanfic)...

Nah I can't see K-ON ever trying to be serious if they do show the college girls going pro it is very likely it would all be Sunshine and Rainbows and nothing would go wrong and they would have no problems on the road to stardom (you can decide if this is good or bad)

But if Yui isn't pro, I doubt Ui would wanna go pro too. Rmb, Ui does whatever her sister does. XD (Fanfic? Which one? Spi...? XD)

Vexx · 2012-05-18, 22:05

I think ya'll are misunderstanding what kind of 'pro' the doujinshi has Yui going that Sumeragi referenced

And I suspect Ui would excel at that as well...
