Kokoro Connect (light novel and manga)

[churchblue]

Heartseed is really heartless. I wonder if anyone has really gotten under his nerve (someone that always interfere and knows what going to happen before it happens). Would be really cool there was such a person with capability there Heartseed did see coming. It would be obvious that person would be a woman.

[kuroishinigami]

It all turns out for the best though. It's only thanks to fuuzenkazura that our 5 protagonists manage to face and fix their problem.

At least Heartseed is nicer than...

Spoiler for regarding Heartseed:

...his colleague - <Number Two>
That one is a total creep that doesn't even bother trolling and is actually kinda malicious.

That being said I'd still like to beat him up whenever he trolls the main cast:

After some trolling,
Inaban: Can I punch you?
Heartseed: I'll just switch out of this man's body before you hit.
Inaban: GRRRRR

I'm not sure about this one, the most reasonable guess would be 傷(Scar) for Kizu, "Imperfection", judging from the theme of that arc.

Kokoro Connect Kako Random
Kako = Past

Kokoro Connect Michi Random
Michi = Way/Path/Journey

Kokoro Connect Nise Random
Nise = Fake

Kokoro Connect Yume Random
Yume = Dream

Thank you.

I have one more request. Can you give a detail about the gimmick of each volume??

Edit： Updated some gimmicks details for vol.6 & 7.

Spoiler for gimmicks, You have been WARNED:

Edit: Spoiler tagged each volume for those trigger happy forumers.

Spoiler for Vol.2 Kizu Random:

Randomly, and forcefully, carries out random member(s) of the cast's strongest inner desire at time of activation, for a very short amount of time. Basically a gimmick of being stripped of self control against impulsive thoughts. Example would be Yui completely flipping out and going full physical unlike her normal self, and she won't be able to stop it until the effect wears out.

Spoiler for Vol.3 Kako Random:

Random number of the cast gets shrunk to their younger, random age, from middle-schooler to as young as less than 1 year old for an amount of time. Another effect of this gimmick is that when they return to normal, they get some sort of fleshed out recalling of their own memory around that age (that are washed out over time). I.E. Aoki gets shrunk to 10 year-old. When he returns to normal, he will recall clearly everything that he'd forgotten from his 10 year-old past.

Spoiler for Vol.4 Michi Random:

Randomly transmits random member(s) of the cast's thought to random member(s) of the remaining cast. Sounds confusing so I'll make an example: Aoki and Yui's thought were transmitted to Inaban, but not to Taichi or Iori. It's also worth noting that, when this gimmick happens, the transmitters and receivers will be notified(in their minds) of "to whom they transmitted to" and "from whom they received from". In the above example, Aoki and Yui will be able to know that their thoughts are transmitted to Inaban, and Inaban knows she received it from them. However, Inaban won't be able to tell if anyone else received the same transmission from Aoki and Yui.

Spoiler for Vol.6 Nize Random:

Heartseed gives the new character and club member, Uwa Chihiro, a power to mask himself with an illusory projection towards either Iori, Taichi, Inaban, Yui or Aoki. This ability allows Chihiro to appear as the person in his specified category. That means he is not limited to copying the main cast, but also the people they know. For example, if he says "Let me appear as the person Nagase Iori is expecting to meet." he will then appear as that said person, even though he doesn't even know who it will be. Apparently it will also project him as "the X in Y's eyes/know of", meaning that he doesn't need to pretend to act like the person being copied, others will only see the copy just as "the one they know".

Spoiler for Vol.7 Yume Random:

Something around the context of the cast being able to see dreams of a random person from the entire school. These dreams could just be normal dreams, or it could be the person's hidden wish, or the person's dream of future. Note that the cast is more likely to see dreams of people that are close to them, good friends for example. This ability excludes the dreams of their own, however. In a sense it works like mind reading but not quite the same.

Spoiler for Vol.9 Asu Random:

Our cast is no longer dealing with just a simple gimmick but rather a full scale crisis.

Spoiler for CRC's internal crisis:

All 7 members of the club are gradually having their memory of each other erased over time.

Spoiler for External crisis, MAJOR SPOILER:

Excluding the original Heartseed that we know, the Heartseed faction related to Number Two and led by another being now known as Number Three, begins to perform various experiments using gimmicks (some we've seen, some we've never seen) on first and second year students of Yamaboshi that stayed after school outside of the CRC.

The way I see it, body switch would be preferred to than thoughts exchanging...

Then you're out of luck because the English translations are almost non-existent...

Thoughts exchanging?! Where did that come from?
Oh well, You jumped directly into THAT arc for the example? -_-"

Huh? No, I was reading off Lantern's spoilers.

[desrtsku]

Ok, I get where the problem comes from, when I said "Can't wait for the next arc" ... "arc" is clearly in singular, isn't it?

[Chaos2Frozen]

I... Still don't get it ?

[Lantern]

I don't get it either.
Did I do something wrong in my spoiler thread? Should I reformat it? Delete it?

[starlol]

I think desrtsku just want to be spoiled on the 2nd arc but you told him the main idea of the remaining arcs?

[desrtsku]

^ Basically this (with little changes), I was saying I was impatient of seeing the second arc animated ... but for an unknown reason you guys were reading it "Michi random" -_-"
