Hmmmm... Not in the way you're thinking of... Probably...

The hard part you've pretty much seen in the preview of next episode, that one line that Taichi said to Inaba.

Spoiler for that line:

That one line that truly feels like a knife in the gut.

Spoiler for comment:

That's another knife in the gut. Seriously her heart hasn't stop bleeding the entire volume.

I guess that's why I like the 2nd ED so much (I'd rather not pick out which one is "better"). It soothens the heart wrenching mood through out the whole volume.

Inaba has become more and more interested in the people that are researching them through the volumes. I wonder if any positive happen to her through the volumes.

[Sumeragi]

Maybe, maybe not.

[Chaos2Frozen]

Positive... Is a vague word

Any further details for the scene with Inaba sitting alone in her room? Was she deciding whether or not to call Taichi or hopelessly waiting for him to call? LN seems to always have more details...

Do you mean by her sitting in her own room in the dark?

Yep. She's clearly got the wavering eye effect going on, so she's thinking about Taichi or the situation, but they show a shot of her phone.

You know what, interestingly, that 3 second scene is an anime original.

It was never explicitly stated that Inaba was checking her phone in the novel. The novel did, however, right after the first phone conversation between Iori and Taichi, which is the end of that chapter, the next chapter starts with Inaba's monologe with her feeling uneasy about something. So yes, I'd say the anime implied that she, too, also got the sudden urge to call Taichi, but Iori beat her to it.

Kinda makes me wish they had more than the first 5 chapters of the novel translated. As much I like the anime, it still feels like I'm missing something by not reading the novels.

But one thing I really want to know is:

Spoiler for character progress:

Does Aoki get any character development at all?

Spoiler for character progress:

Yes. Not as much as the triangle, but he and Yui gets about the same amount of development.

Does Aoki and Taichi get any development in the 6th volume?

Spoiler for answer:

None of the 5 members we know gets much development during that volume since they aren't the focus.

I just recently came after the anime version of Kokoro Connect, and wanted to find more about it. It seems like there is 8 Volumes, could anyone tell me how anyone got there information on any of the volumes? Are there places like summaries or translation? Baka-Tsuki isn't pretty far so that is sort of a problem.

Most of the readers here, myself included, uses the Chinese Translations which are up till volume 4 and starting on vol 5. Less than a handful here actually read the original up till the latest volume.

Can you read chinese?

My primary source is chinese translations, which is currently progressing up to Volume 6 Ch.3, while missing Volume 4 Ch.10 and Volume 5 Short Story#4 before that.

The information I have for Volume 6~8 are from various spoilers and raw scan munching (not fluent but manage to get 60~70% of it with the help of a dictionary).

There are a number of spoiler posts that tells of the plots through out this thread. I also made a post that summarizes the gimmicks for each volume if that's what you're looking for.

[jandkas]

No I can't read chinese, but I am interested in the gimmick post that you speak of.
