looking at the illustration,i can't help but worry:could maria have fallen victim to daiya box?
she ruined many life with her box,even if unwilingly,thus becoming his pupet. and that would explain why kazuki would choose to go back on his principle and beg zero for a box. but i hope that won't be the case:as much as i've enjoyed seeing him grew some balls and becoming more proactive,i'd hate to see maria reduced twice in a row to a princess waiting for his knight to rescue her-this time would be worse if she were to become just a puppet! maria awesomeness is part off what attracted me to this novel in the first place,so,with a worthy opponent such as a genius,like daiya,i hope we will see her shine in the role that suit her the most:a (S)queen,ideal and complementary partner of kazu,no again a hepless princess waiting for her knight to rescue her. |

*twiddle twiddle* yes finally........ after such a long unbearable wait.......... 1 week from now, the time is almost upon us...... though I won't be getting mine before 14th, probably (damn the shipping lag from Kino >_< ).
I guess I'm actually going to read Hakomari 5 before Mahouka 6 (*gasp*), and chuck SAO 10 into the "Can't read now because I have not enough time" pile . |

And I hope EMS and honto.jp get their act together so that I can start reading in the release week. Well, at least I don't have to worry about it going sold-out.
Speaking of which, honto and amazon have added it to their articles, along with a slightly larger sample of the cover. |

Yeah. Our Kino's air shipments are on Wednesdays and Fridays (I'm not free on Friday so I may have to pick it up on Saturday, 14th). What I mean by lag is that based on my past preordering experiences, Japan's Kino side does not process the order before the launch date, so the earliest will be arriving on Friday, since 10th is Tuesday. If we are really unlucky, it will be the following Wednesday . In contrast, from what I heard from some, Amazon sometimes actually process the order earlier to miminize or eliminate this 'lag' from release date as a consequence of shipping time (not sure how true it is though).
BOT, I have a feeling that the next arc is going to be a 2-volume arc again and the second last arc (just random guessing though). Anyway, I personally feel that it's not good for a series like Hakomari to go on for too long. It may be my wishful thinking, but I hope this will get a good anime adaptation when it finishes. |

It may be difficult but not impossible. What this series need is a studio with artistic touches...... maybe like SHAFT? |

I killed all the four volumes straight yesterday what an awesome book and how foolish i was to not read it beforehand. The development of the characters, their feelings evolution, the way its written. everything in this série is awesome. It has been such a god damn long time since i didnt ship so much for a couple thats amazing.
Thank you translator and editors, deeply. |

You must be one hell of a director with S-rank presentation skills to actually get the environment and mood across.

The first half of Kingdom Royale wouldn't be too hard since there are so many surprising murders spread throughout, sorta like Another. The challenge would be the long stretch in the fourth book when Kazuki is trying to keep the game peaceful, but I think the building suspense as other characters become suspicious of him could keep the story watchable for one or two episodes before the explosion comes.
As for visual style, I'd really like to see the designers from Persona 4 take a crack at it, especially the Kingdom Royale arc. |

Hrmm...I seriously have no idea is Daiya really that much of a dick or is that just an attempt to escape Kazu's Box....the stuff he said about Rino...
Also....what the hell is Haruaki's link to Rino's rape....That guy isn't as simple and dumb as he looks...
