I think there are bigger worries then that at the moment. Ruki put it quite succinctly just now, there's little reason to introduce an entire setting of only sexy women for Kazuya to interact with other than to play it for fanservice. Whether something happens or not, who knows, but there will almost certainly be teasing of stuff at the least. Stuff's become predictable at this stage, its mostly about putting Kazuya around sexy women.

Well I'm pretty resigned to that stuff. Like you say the direction's pretty clear, has been since chapter 196 really. So I guess my reaction's a bit more subdued now.

Best hope Kazuya isn't being set up here, or it'll really suck.

When I think about how powerful the Nova are (transcendent beings and all that), I begin to wonder if they can alter their dimension to anything they choose, much the Q Continuum in Star Trek. So this might not be the true form of the Nova dimension, which could mean that Kazuya is being set up for the biggest troll in his natural born life. Much like a spider luring a fly into it's web. Now I hope I'm wrong about this, though considering how much LDY loves trolling, nothing would surprise me at this point. But I guess, we can only wait and see.

It's unlikely considering the fact that the one who brought him there is Maria, who actually is on his and humanity's side right now.

[Alhazad2003]

So it would seem, but if Maria has been the real villain all along? Think about it, supposedly the only way to combat the Novas is to become Novas? Am I getting this right? Yet Gengo did not question it, and has thus striven to create a new "humanity" to replace the old. And if this was Maria's intent the whole time, then Gengo has been played for the biggest fool in the whole story. In a sense it would be poetic justice, seeing Gengo knocked off his high horse would be a welcome sight in my book. Though it would probably mean the end of the world as well. So just how does LDY intend to resolve this immense conflict he's created? I guess, we can only wait and see.

[DragonOsman]

The point in the story seems to be that Maria turned over a new leaf and decided to help mankind. That and the Novas also have two different factions: one that sides with mankind and one that opposes mankind. Maria has joined up with the former.

[Ruki0089]

Or... she actually just doing this for fun... in that side~~

[Tachibana]

Maria obviously wants Kazuya to do something. Which is without a doubt the key to the victory against the Nova.

[Ruki0089]

You seems forgot about the so called Plot twist...
What if Maria is the final boss??

[Tachibana]

Doubtful, we have no reason to assume that she'll betray everyone. In fact, she only intervened AFTER the procedure went haywire.

[Dart-Sama]

god... 203 for a real first kiss... dunno what to say, its been a while since i had read a frustating one like this T_T

[DragonOsman]

204 out recently.

Well, I'm glad they finally kissed in the previous chapter after it took so long. But now stuff is getting really bad between Chevalier and Gengo and the teachers aren't liking it. Yi Suna seems to be sold to the idea of helping Gengo, though. But I really feel for poor Kazuya. And I know he won't really rape Satellizer, but still, the current situation looks pretty bad.

[GendoAizenPig]

Newest raw is out and I have to say I don't mind this manga being monthly when chapters are this packed with content. Things are moving on multiple fronts.

Spoiler:

Lucie is shown. Raddox is plotting something new and has Seiga as an inside traitor. Suna and Satellizer might be going into the other dimension too (along with others?). A new Nova type was shown at the end. It even showed Arnette and Elizabeth with their limiters, possibly in an attempt to show that they recovered just fine from Kazuya's powers.

All and all good stuff.

[DragonOsman]

Nice.

Spoiler for comment on new chapter:

So there's a mole in Gendo's group? Or is it the other way around? And I like the fact that Suna and Stella are going to the Nova dimension, too. I also want to see Stella's reaction to the Nova Queen, since she's someone who looks exactly like her.

Good for Arnette and Elizabeth and their respective Limiters. I hope this will relieve the suspicions of the people who were worried that Kazuki would steal the Pandora from their Limiters.

[GendoAizenPig]

Keep in mind I can't read Japanese so some of what I said might be totally wrong, but I don't see any other way to interpret certain parts.

Spoiler:

Atsuko Seiga is reporting to Raddox, though she doesn't seem too happy about it. The Suna and Satellizer part is speculative, as is the Elizabeth and Arnette part, but the way I see it is if the author was going to go the harem mind slaves route he wouldn't even bother showing Andre and Morrison with their Pandora anymore. Also I forgot to mention, but it seems like a Pandora dimension equivalent to Olivia El Bridget or Noelle was introduced too.

[DragonOsman]

Thanks for the answer, anyway.

Spoiler for reply:

So there's a Pandora dimension equivalent to the Nova one? Could it be that Satellizer and Suna went to that one, or did they go to the dimension Kazuya's in? If it's the former, then maybe she met her mother there (that's who Olivia is, right?).

I agree about Morrison and Andre being shown with their respective Pandora partners, still. So yeah, hopefully, those fears can be put to rest soon.

[Ruki0089]

Nah, I bet author just made them show up so they can be cuckolded by kazuya lol

[GendoAizenPig]

@DragonOsman

Spoiler:

It seems to me that they are going to attempt to go to where Kazuya went to. The new Nova type actually appeared in the town where Kazuya is right now. It very well could be a "friendly" Nova since the women in the town didn't seem all that bothered about it being there. It's all still the same dimension Kazuya is currently in though. There was no new dimension introduced. Satellizer and the rest haven't went anywhere yet. Olivia/Noelle's doppelganger was shown in a panel alongside Satellizer's doppelganger and the girl Kazuya met when he first arrived. Sorry for any confusion.

[Robot-Dinosaur]

I suppose then some sort of fight will break out on earth for Kazuya and co. to arrive in time to save the day, going by narrative cliché's. The traitor is unexpected though, I'll admit.

I must say, though, that I'm not quite sure what you mean when you say this latest chapter would assuage the feelings of the people upset about Kazuya's Netori field. I mean all we see is Morrison and André standing in the background right? They aren't even, from what I can tell, talking or saying anything. At least going by Sapphire's points none of those are really addressed just by having the Limiters appear in background scenes.

Unless the text seriously addresses it somehow, and I of course don't know if it does, I don't quite see how it would help any of the people upset over that particular development. We've had Elizabeth, Arnett and Ticy express their undying love, devotion and servitude to Kazuya...having them allow Morrison and André to walk next to them doesn't really seem like it could be argued to be reciprocal, comparable or in anyway as intimate as the former case.

[DragonOsman]

Just them being shown by itself might be enough of a sign that the author isn't going for the "All of the Pandora are now in Kazuya's harem" route. And the influence from Kazuya's power itself could also just be temporary as well, with them already being free from it by now.
