did. Honestly, such a stupid reason to murder =/. Akiharu and Tomoe are the ones to be sad about for dying because of such a petty, messed up situation. |

Besides the characters in volume 2, pretty much everyone else who appeared in the novel are basically completely freak cases, especially "I". I-chan doesn't fit anywhere except next to Tomo =P, or being abused by Jun. |

Exactly why Defective Product has to be there. He is the perfect role model for the class minus 13. If there is a goal that class minus 13 is aiming for, it should be becoming the same as I-chan. Assuming he doesn't lead the class into self destruction upon entering it, of course.
As for Hitoshiki, he has to be there to say hi to a certain murderous maniac who doesn't like to kill. It'll make a great contrast if you dump those two together, consider Human Disqualified is a murderous maniac who really ISN'T a murderous maniac but simply an ordinary person who forces himself to behave like one. Though, Hitoshiki being class minus 13's homeroom teacher isn't a bad idea too, consider he is the Jail Alternative of Defective Product. And we know that Fox Faced has shown us how things can get worse if you find one instead of another between Jail Alternatives. For how I love Medaka for it has been filled with broken psychotic nutcases, I just want to see it getting more ^$&%*^ed up. |

I guess I can always buy them in Japanese and read them later. I've got my hands full with 2 LNs in Japanese as of now, and it's hard for me to read them; so, I've got to go slowly. It's really sad, since I could be reading Zaregoto right now, if Del Rey wasn't so slow. As for Mikoko, she was pitiful, but she got what she deserved. She planned the whole thing, which makes things worse. I agreed fully with I-chan's final quote "Don't be so spoiled."

I love thread necromancy, not really. Never knew there was a thread on this.
That sucks, but I doubt it will be that much faster with the passions of western translation communities. Although, I guess it will be faster than 2 volumes in 2 years. It is always better to just learn Japanese than rely on these translation. Also, can anyone explain to me why these translation companies take so long? I don't think it would be that hard to translate a volume in a week if loosely translated.

Zaregoto isn't popular is the problem. Maybe if it gets an anime it will become really popular but who knows. I think the companies need to learn having Niso anime of Bakemonogatari and Katanagatari probably won't make Zaregoto automatically popular. Besides looking at the naming scheme will make you think Zaregoto and the others are unrelated. Last edited by Cruor; 2011-03-21 at 13:46. |

More than that, I think Zaregoto simply wasn't too popular in the West. In fact, LNs have never been too popular, unless they have an anime or some other medium which is more popular in the West that makes fans feel like buying the LNs, as in the case of Haruhi or S&W.
I think they should learn how to market these things better. Moreover, if the market is too small then simply raise the price. Zaregoto was cheap to begin with. I'm sure those who really wanted to read it would have paid a bit more, in order to ensure it still got translated and printed. All the same, faster translations would have been a good thing as well. 2 years between releases was a terrible idea.
