(L) Kokoro Connect [Light Novel]

[Mura]

Never did imagine that Taichi had a harem to begin with.

By that one liner seems like an all out war will begin.

[Sumeragi]

Taichi had a harem? I would say Inaban might say something about that.....

[Lantern]

In any case, according to Author's Note (I think), the 10th and final volume will be published during 2013 Spring.

I sure wish someone buy the BD ver and upload it on the net for good

Yes, I know it's illegal

[Chaos2Frozen]

I'm pretty sure if it follows the BD/DVD release timetable, it's going to go into next year before we get to see Michi Random.

Spoiler for Michi Random:

Still don't get how Nagase Iori became like that. Plus the anime showed barely any signs of her stress in kako random

Which is exactly my complaint about the anime.

1. Lack of Iori's stress during her phone call with Inaba

2. Shortened scene of Taichi & Yui running into Iori, they cut the part where Taichi observed Iori briefly and wondered why her behavior changed.

3. Shortened scene of Taichi running into Iori the next day, they cut out more of Iori's quick shift in behavior which Taichi sorta noticed. Also skimped out Iori gazing at a passing by family with a little girl cuddling her father.

4. Shortened scene about Taichi & Inaba's discussion regarding Iori(14), where Iori(14) ran off and purposely left the two alone. Inaba knew her intention and brought it up to Taichi.

5. Skipped out the part about how Iori was late at arriving the abandoned apartment and almost missed the twelve o'clock mark on New Year's Eve. She said she was 'caught up with something' and avoided explaining.

6. Shortened scene of Taichi and Iori's conversation during Inaba(14) and Yui(14) transformation. Hence missing out some of Taichi x Iori interaction that showed signs of Iori backing off from further relationship for unknown reason.

7. And let's not talk about how they rushed through the scenes after Taichi blurted out the secret about Number Two.

8. The change to the confrontation scene with Heartseed. While I like how it adds point to the friendship aspect, Inaba's involvement (she's not supposed to be there in the novel) lessens the impact of Taichi's "forceful" attitude in his expressing that he loves Iori. This is suppose to be an indication of Iori answering to "expectations".

==============

Whatever, at least they did show how Iori often pauses before she speaks in Kizu arc. As implied she's always thinking of how she would respond to situations. Always.

And then there was that "I won't mess up again" scene.

Anyway, to sum it up. They cut out waaaaay too many Iori scenes.

[skullheart]

must read kako random them. Seems like the anime really screwed up kako random a lot. As long as they dont't mess up michi random ill be happy.

[s07195]

Anyways, I finished Michi Random a week ago, and I still can't believe that the solution to Iori's problem was

Spoiler for AGAIN?:

a redux of Taichi's way to get Inaba to open up + intensity

Those two seemed to get together really quick and offhandedly in the last few pages. Also, I wonder if they're gonna animate parts of this arc in Iori's POV. The arc would lose a lot of impact without it.

EDIT:

CRC allies with Heartseed against the other Heartseeds (yes, it's not just #2... Meet #3 and his faction of HS)!

I'm thrilled.

And of course Inaban and imouto don't get along rofl

Yeah, of course they wouldn't... Wait, they haven't met before? Did Taichi ever say that he was in a relationship with her?

EDIT2: Sorry, won't be able to update the translation until I get some of my required projects out of the way first... hoping I can get back to Kizu Random soon. Lantern, your translations seem so professional compared to mine.

Well, here's the difference though... It didn't work XD
Iori 's a much tougher nut to crack XDD
I mean, it still took

Spoiler:

Inaban being in mortal danger and everyone else's spirit to save her

to snap Iori out of it.

Edit: You know, the more I think of it, the more I feel the anime really shouldn't have included Inaban on the bridge scene. Yea sure it makes the 'friendship' aspect better, but in the overall picture, it really became redundant with what Taichi and Inaba are going to do in the next arc, if you know which part I'm talking about that is. Not to mention, as I've already said a billion times before, it lessens the set up for Iori's break down...

Ugh... = =;

Wait who are we talking about again?
Anyway about the anime I would hope so too... though the chances are...

He did mention to imouto that he has a girlfriend he treasures, though he never specified who. Apparently both Taichi and Inaban have finally met each other's family in this new volume. I even heard rumors about Inaban's brother's conversation with Taichi being incredibly hilarious.

Appreciate every bit of help so no worries

[skullheart]

Finished Michi Random. Best volume so far

Spoiler for Plot Twist:

There's actually violence in a slice of life. I never realized that Yui's androphobia was almost gone when she beats up the guys at the end

Hopefully the Anime stays true to the novel and not compress it like kako random.

[Chaos2Frozen]

MY greatest fear is that they'll have the mentality of wanting to 'get it over and done with' due to the scandal

[skullheart]

They should keep scandals and the anime separate. Don;t want such a good story ruined by one stupid joke they thought it was funny.

About the doujinshi Shitagokoro Connect:

Spoiler for NSFW Details:

So, what happens when you swap bodies while masturbating, and then get another swap when having sex?

I was afraid that when the anime started airing everyone was hoping for something like gender bending and sex playing story...I even heard someone expected something like having a boy going through menstruation...yuck...well thankfully kc is still appreciated at the end and not hated bcz of the lack of erotic scenes...

Spoiler for nsfw reply:

From what you have said, I would imagine it wouldn't really be a fuss if the two who are having sex changed bodies...they literally would just have the same 'sensation'...and now some adrenaline is flowing to 16.5...oh no I was just kidding.

I don't read eroge stuff. Well, I don't care if you believe me or not, the important thing is, I believed it myself. <-- great saying here

[Sumeragi]

Spoiler for NSFW Reply:

No, what I meant was that the two having sex switched bodies with two other members of CRC in the middle of having sex.

Spoiler for Spoilers:

Taichi <-> Aoki, Inaban <-> Yui

I think you would know what kind of problems that would result in.

lol

Spoiler for reply for nsfw:

I get you now...that would be like (if following the 2nd arc), Inaba: the only way we would only have sex with the wrong person is to not have sex!! Then the members go: If we don't have sex, then our bonds will never form!! (yep that's right, teenage relationships are based on sex, I think there's a word for this...something like one night stand...oh wait, that has another meaning...whatever). Then Inaba hides herself under a blanket and heartseed came charging into her room and flips her blanket and goes, "If you don't have sex with them, I'm gonna make this more exciting. Oh yeah, I'm gonna enjoy this moth*****..." And Inaba drops her jaws wide and stares straight at his eyes in exasperation. Oh not to mention at the end Iori will come up to Inaba and say, "Have sex! Even if you have sex with the wrong person, we won't blame you! We're still friends!!" (woah I accidentally dropped a line from ousama game lol)

And there goes the story. As always—the story doesn't matter, it's the moe, it's the excitement of the climax, it's the overflowing of body fluids!!!

(btw, I'm typing this at midnight. I think I'm quite unstable...emotionally
