The world again Ichika's Harem and in the end the world against IS users. The girls can choose either Ichika or his Sister Chifuyu.

[HasuMasu]

Well, I'm going to make a poll, which one do you want me to do next after vol 6? A snippet here and there of your favourite scene or a full translation of vol 7? Please kindly write your choice when you post something, once for each person ^_^

you mean on baka-tsuki?

volume 7 is good but, i would like to know, just like the girls at the start of volume 6

just what exactly happened between ichika and houki, i believe it was mentioned

a translation of whatever volume that's from would mean a lot

but hey, anything's fine i appreciate the work put in to this

Probably between the girls. And each country has at least two IS each. So having one fight a war, is like having one army in a war. So that makes sense. So saying the war between all members of Ichika's harem is the same as the respective countries the girls are from fighting each other.

Fight between the girls = fight between countries.

The countries wouldn't dare hit Japan. I mean Japan has two Gen 4 IS on them.

The female IS users are definitely Lesbnians who thinks Ichika is an obstacle to a woman dominated society, one that they want to be leading.

Then Ichika must persuade hunt them down, add them to his harem them before they do too much damage.

Also, can someone clarify more on Tatenashi imouto, I can't tell if imouto has a lesbian complex for Tatenashi or that she has an inferior complex to her. (damn, google translate. xD)

[Javiersansano]

isn't it a bit chovinistic calling them lesbians?.......at least they are extreme feminists, perhaps man-haters, but not necessarily lesbians.......................of course, I know it doesn't matter, cause these comments are directed to fictional characters, but still....

also, to blitz1/2, and everybody else, if you are making any comment on the 7° volume, please make use of the spoiler tag, because some people, like me, can't read japanese, and have to wait for translations from sites like bakatsuki, or for the blessed summaries from kuroishinigami, who actually uses said tag.........By no means I'm trying to offend someone, but I also admit that this is a complaint, so if I offended or bothered someone, I apologize

Spoiler for vol 7:

From the few pages I manage to read from the spoiler, it seems she has a huge inferior complex to onee-san. Can be understood though when you have a genius as your sister that can do anything if she tried, good with people, and good at women skill too.

And for the record, although I was the one giving Kanzashi the nickname of Tatenashi-imouto, it seems I made a huge mistake. Since Tatenashi is the first name, it should be Sarashiki-imouto instead.

[Javiersansano]

Is it just me, or Byakushiki setsura wasn't supposed to be more like the following images,

Spoiler for if someone has read the novel, or the summaries, don't read:

with a bigger claw (hence the simil to 00 qa[t])

No, no, no, no, no, no.

The first picture is Setsura (the arm weapon) in its particle cannon mode. It seems like it. It changes between modes.

[Javiersansano]

meaning that the arm whole arm grows bigger when it changes to particle cannon mode, while the claw grows bigger in claw mode, and finally, it reduces when it is in its shield mode?

Not sure, but the anime did not show that, I think

They were confirmed as lesbians during volume 5 after Autumn escaped and reported back to Scholl.

Also, is it true that Tabane is the leader of PT? Or that more Imageboard crackpot theories.

[kuroishinigami]

Crackpot theory, unless it's confirmed in vol 7. Scholl is the "acting" leader at the moment.

[Ypocaramel]

I see some progress on Volume 6 Ch3 at BT. Thanks

[Javiersansano]

Also, thanks to those progressing with volumes 1 and 4........if anyone could translate the epilogue of volume 3, so that those who atched the anime can know what the real ending of the volume is, it would be extremely appreciated

I'm pretty sure that she isn't the leader of phantom task. I mean she doens't really seem like a women supremacist. And why would they have to steal IS from other countries when they could just ask Tabane to make a couple of 4th gens for them.

I totally agree.

They did show it, but it was like two-three second shot. And it completely didn't do its justice. In the books Setsura has a mode that is a particle CANNON. Not a measly gun. The recoil is described in the books as enough to make Icihika move back a good ten feet in the air, and also strong enough to off balance Silvero Gospel. So yeah, the anime completely killed it.

Does this help? I'm rather impressed with how it all went in relation to the novel. Further confirmation that it shouldn't be criticized too much, anyways. Now for me to quell the final doubts of the anime...

that's chapter 4, not the epilogue

Ah, I see. How long are these epilogues usually? 1 or 2 pages or so?

It appears clear to me that the anime ended on open-harem-end. While I can definitely see why many Houki-fans would be all over it, and claiming it as a "Houki end"; I'd still like to quote the last "pearl of wisdom" Ichika left to us in the anime (dunno if he said 'that' in the LNs too):

Spoiler for pearl of wisdom:
