Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei Manga Discussion (Licensed)

[Syokool]

You were bought by all sis-bro con around the world, weren't you?

Genetics says, evolution means diversity, so it's only logical to look for the things we don't have in other persons.

As for this case, it's a scientific fact that siblings that hadn't seen each other during their childhood have more possibilities of being attracted to each other

Anyway, it will be sad if they won't end up together.

Chapter 3 done, but there are some things to fix before and the usual revision that takes us several times to get this perfect.

A little teaser from my editor:

Spoiler for Something we know already:

Haha, although I'd add pragmatically, that incest for a society as a whole is a terrible terrible thing, I would add that we do "pure breed" animals to encourage the concentration of beneficial genes.

Good to arrive yourself 5 mins early to snag a parking spot, bad if everyone arrives 5 mins early, everyone just got 5 mins less of sleep ..

It's one of those situations that has me constantly reflect on the speech from Code Geass: "All men are not created equal!"

Theoretically, in the long run we should encourage the interbreeding (if not outright selective breeding, including incest if necessary) of the smartest and healthiest members of our society.. - but then again, it's one of those "good for a few, bad if everyone does it kind of things.."

^ lol
I think in Mahouka universe, SORE WA TOTSUZEN, UNMEI NO AITE GA manga technology already in their grasp, lets hope this author some how stumble upon this manga and altered it to give a chance for Miyuki hehehehe

[Kleeyook]

Spoiler for Spoilers from the LN:

I wonder how the author of this series will face the challenge from the series' name he created.

The development so far is very shounen-ish, with more powerful adversaries coming one after another.

But the series will be limited only in high school...

There are no ones who can truly match the MC, although the MC is beatable and lacks some abilities they have.

And seriously, if the MC's true identity is exposed, I wonder how in the hell could he live a normal school life he wish.

It'd be awkward if the series continues after they're no more in high school. Sure the name of the series is interesting, but I don't want to see another series like Sword Art Online (originated from web too) that still uses that name despite the fact that they move to other MMOs already...

To me, it's not so much the name ( stories can expand beyond their naming ), but rather the entire set-up of the series. And keeping the same name makes sense from a branding perspective. You don't just 'shake' a built-up brand name just because the story inside changes.

Fundamentally, so far what we've seen is that the series' core cast of characters are the 'high-schoolers', and a large part of attention are given towards building that side of the story.

At the same time, we've got an underlying deeper plot... that's way above and beyond every other member of the regular cast. It's basically a totally different world in regards in the plot and story development in-place.

The easiest way would be to treat Rettousei like a masked superhero storyline, where the story draws a very distinct and clear line between the 'high-school life' and the 'superhero life.' Characters from both sides of the line may somehow be involved with the other side partially, but the line is there.

Technically, this kind of development is the one that makes the most sense since it creates a very rational set-up that doesn't forcefully rock the boat in terms of the role of the characters ( nothing crazy like regular high-schoolers getting involved in high-level conspiracies and somehow managing to have the power to match professionals ), but at the same time, it's also one of the most boring ways to do it. Part of the appeal behind these kind of dual-sided worlds is how other characters find themselves in that other world, and creating a very rigid separation of it is a limitation.

The other way would be to create scenarios where the high-schoolers get involved, by plot device or other mechanisms, but that would beg the question of 'what can they do?' It's like having Lelouch's friends joining the Black Knights even though they can't pilot KFs.

@Kleeyook Doh, even if they are not detailed spoilers, please stop giving away information about the MC which cannot be possibly known from the latest chapter of the manga.

[Syokool]

I wonder, how many people here have only read the manga.

By now, a lot know the general plot thanks to summaries and so. Even Yuutousei 3 have quite a little spoiler about Honoka and Tatsuya...

While they may not be saying anything and just lurking, just the same for SAO and Index, there is actually a large population who ONLY (read manga/watch anime) because they are not novel readers even in their own native languages/countries, simply because they can't stand large chunks of words.

[leokiko]

I would even say that most people don't read the LN(or LN's in general if it has a manga). It's fairly normal, actually.

I hated novels with a passion with this exact reason. This is the first novel I read and slowly getting to read other novels by BT using their reader app.

[Chaos2Frozen]

With the right 'motivation' I believe anyone will read any novel in any barely understandable language

[Seitsuki]

You think that's bad? Try having to TL them.

allergic to text

[Kleeyook]

I dislike most novels as well. LN are not too long and quite easy to pick compared to most novels in general though.

[kfcpanda]

eh, i don't mind reading things that i like/find interesting though.

i mean hell, if i had english versions of mknr i'd blaze through all 6 arcs in a day

[larethian]

Errrhh, why are we suddenly discussing 'NOVEL READING'? LOL.
I'm only just trying to point out to LN readers not to post future spoilers from LN so as not to drive manga-only readers who are allergic to spoilers out of this thread. And the thing is, nearly any spoiler on this series are REALLY BIG-TIME SPOILERS. They totally kill the enjoyment for spoiler-allergic people.

[BakuDan]

My fault, forgot to put in "light" before the novel. Too lazy to edit it now.

[Syokool]

Not really, I think it's my fault... I was wondering that, but I kind of understand. Spoilers (tough, here there are Mega-spoilers) only give a gist of the plot.

As for manga, it's quite easy to read compared to LN. Specially here, tough Tatsuya is more expressionless in the novel actually.

I think, with both manga series, we will be able to have a more complete understanding about the whole series.
Honestly, MKnR manga is doing it well, and Yuutousei also. I wouldn't take the spin-off (as I usually do) but it has two things: Miyuki, and covers some holes in the story.

The last teaser form my friend

Spoiler for Yuutousei ch.3:

This time, I will be really mean, and upload first Spanish version, and after a day or less English version to make sure to save some changes in ch.2 in Batoto, as well as upload the chapters in another server.

[surerman]

strange.... I think that page is from mahouka

[Syokool]

IIRC, this is the page from ch.2...

Spoiler for chapter 2:
