Yeah, I think they just mean that, when they announced the delay, they didn't say when it'd be released. Since then, both the LN and the artbook have been rescheduled for April.

I think what you say was posted last year on he 21 of december:


2月25日発売予定『僕は友達が少ない』ブリキArt Works 初回限定 版は都合により3月25日に発売延期となりました。楽しみにお待ち頂いている皆様、申し訳 ございません。


But the announcement I mention was posted on the 12th of the current month:

『僕は友達が少ない』ブリキ ArtWorks 初回限定版は、都合により発売延期となりました。楽しみにお待ち頂いている皆様、申し訳ござい ません。

At the forum at animenewsnetwork someone said only the artwork book has been rescheduled to april 25, albeit no link was provided.

No, I know about the original delay. But the new dates for the two products are listed on Amazon for April (l.kostas posted the novel link, and here's the artbook). It's also listed on the MediaFactory site (novel and artbook).

On another node... Do we know anythin about Sena's mother. You know since Sena is blonde... And to an extend that Kodaka even spend a few moments thinking about it .
Might be just me having forgotten wheather she colored them though.

We know she is alive, probably is blonde with green eyes and no doubt is out there conquering the world .... it couldn't be, could she?

[JamJackEvo]

Impossible; Saber's a pettanko.

Sena has to have inherited her [meat] from someone in the genetic pool, and I doubt it would've come from Pegasus's side of the family.

[finalfury]

From what I could tell from a picture, Sena's or maybe Stella's mom is a Kobato look a like with an black eyepatch. Not 100% percent sure but blushing Pegasus = very likely.

Attention x818 picture

Spoiler for The pictures finalfury probably meant::

We can now guess who is whose mother; but yeah the two woman look pretty alinke. Maybe sisters oO?
But seriously its hard to tell who is who.
From the looks of it i'd say the kobato alike is Kodaka's mother and the woman next to Kodaka's father is Sena's.
Then again Kobato-alike holds chibi sena in her arms lol

Edit:
Another thing:
Could it be that Stella and Kodaka are half siblings too oO?

That's Stella o.o, in that picture with the young Sena.

The young girl blushing with Pegasus is likely to be Stella's mother.
Edit: @l.kostas, did i get the above correct?

[l.kostas]

About Stella's and Sena's mother from Connect, look at the posts here:

Well oO Stella looks a lot like the young girl in the second picture then oO.
And yeah one of them is definitely Sena's mother. Assuming the two woman are siblings too Kodaka and Sena might as well be cousins lol.

It would be funny if that was true btw..: You know Kobato and Sena being cousins lol.

I did btw forget (or the anime never mentioned it as I started with volume 8) hwat happened to Kodaka's mother oO. I think she died, right?

[finalfury]

Died around the same time Kobato was born IIRC.

[MasterChief_Halo]

Am I the only person here that's waiting for someone from Yozora's past to suddenly transfer into the school? Like a former bully or something that tormented her after Kodaka left. For some reason, I can't trust Yozora's words. I have little trust in her dialogues. I still believe Tomo-chan isn't an air friend, but a former popular friend that betrayed her.

[Marcus H.]

I dun know anything about the light novel story, but is it true that the real story would only begin after Volume 8?

HA, interestingly enough there was a some fake spoiler a while for volume 8 that said just that. Or something along those lines.

If so, then may she used some of her past experiences for her A-ko and Y-ko story in volume 3.

I think the women in the cover is indeed Sena's mother, and the same person in the picture with the parents. The indicative is her left eye closed while holding Sena.
In my opinion, Sena's mother and Kodaka's mother are sisters (or were). But Kobato inherited her aunt's appearance and Sena inherited her breasts from Pegasus's lineage. Time-wise it makes sense, since Kodaka should be around the same age as Sena on that cover, so his mother still being alive would make sense, because she died after Kobato's birth after all.

Now, one thing I noticed is that the artist initially colored Sena with green eyes, but after volume 5 or 6 she's now got blueish eyes, identical to Kobato's (they are still a bit different on the anime adaptation, where Kobato has deep blue eyes). This could mean the story was probably done in the process to fit the development in the last Connect novel.

Just my 2 cents.

edit: Has Connect been released already? Are there any summaries online? Thanks.

[SquaredCircle]

Supposedly, from past thread pages, on the cover, that's a 16yo-ish Stella and Sena. Now it's all twisting up whether Kodaka & Sena are cousins or something (lol). According to other past pages only the chinese translation has been out for Connect.

If it's not confirmed yet then I stand on my opinion. I think the cover doesn't fit Stella's personality at all and a very important thing: Was ever Stella a student of their highschool? She's wearing the uniform ..
We know that Kodaka's mother was a student at St. Chronica and met with his father through Pegasus, so we could assume her sister (Sena's mom) was student a too and gave birth to Sena pretty young.

I agree with the history on Kodaka and Sena's mom at St. Chronica. Regarding the uniform on Stella, have you payed close attention to it, take a closer look at the skirt color (something that identifies several highschools, regarding the uniform), it's actually grey, and not green, which is St. Chronica's color. On the other hand this blond character is wearing the same black bows on her hair in both images, now I'm confused...

Rofl.
Well that guy might have had a point after all then lol.
That line is usually what Anime character say themself and we don't need to figure out on our own but:
Aside from Sena's behavior and Kobato being afraid of her...
Don't you think Sena and Kobato look somehow good next to another oO?

Yeah the bows made me "wth?!" too when i heard this is supposed to be Stella; Which is why I think its Sena's mother.
The skirt color can be explained by them having changed uniforms over the centuries.
