From a summary I've seen it looks interesting. Although it wasn't very detailed...

Here's volumes 6 and 7 covers...

I pretty sure only a small amount of people here have read the series so I'm probably just talking to myself.

I've read maybe half of volume 4, (Erio and Ryuko's past and Makoto's magazine run) and a little bit more than half of volume 7. (Ryuko, Erio, Rocket and Meme delusions) I guess I'm more of a short story reader.

While reading the stories in volume 7 I had this lingering feeling in the pit of my stomach. I guess its probably because it talks about what could happen in the future. For me the future seems so scary since no one has any idea what it could hold. The one that had the most effect on me was the Rocket story where we see "Makoto" spending his whole life to build this rocket to send his cousin "Gaati" to space. The characters realize that its going to be forty years before they'll see each other again and you don't even know if one of them is going to alive anymore after so many years. It just had this bittersweet feeling to it. The other one where it shows Makoto and Erio together is also kinda bittersweet since we see them as a pair of great-grandparents and everyone they knew in the past are gone. All their friends either disappeared or died and the only family they have are their kids. At least they still had their memories. The Ryuko story was kinda sad too since those two pretty much lost all contact with everyone else. It really brought up the issue of how certain choices would affect your life greatly. It also talked about living with your choices.

Man just thinking about the future is giving me a headache.

I've read only the first three volumes and Ryuushi's past from the fourth one. I really like the "climax" of each novel: I Can not fly (1); Meme's "revenge" against God (2) and the Yashiro's meteor (3).
And Iruma really does a good job using his stories to talk about interesting themes: Do aliens really exist? Where are they? Do espers really exist?

It's really sad that this series is so short but I guess the author wanted to move to another project. Of course I don't think this is going to be the last we'll see of these characters since this series and the one the author is on right now is in the same universe

I must suppose "Rocket" is the white haired girl right? I wonder why they called the ending with that girl #2559 also it seems very futuristic in the illustration..

Oh? That's interesting....what's his new one called?

"Tamako-san to Tokashiwa-kun". There is only one book right now so I actually don't know if that's it or not.

I haven't read all the novels nor have the anime series finish but I'm already missing the series!!

He never ends up with Meme?

So the main story ended on volume 6, while volume 7 contains sidestories?

Same here. Maybe that's why I just can't bring myself to read the rest of this series. I never heard of Tamako-san to Tokashiwa-kun, but it looks like that isn't his new project:


The Ending No.5 in the seventh volume is the ending with Meme-tan.

No, the main story finished on volume 8, while the volume 7 contains some alternative endings.

The author writes multiple projects so he might be writing this new one and the one I mentioned.

"Tamako-san to Tokashiwa-kun" is (not excatly) a spin-off of "Denpa Onna". Tamako and Tokashiwa are students in Makoto's school. They have appeared in volume 6 already. And they are known as "Baka couple" which like to do "what couple do":frustrated: in public.

VOl. 8 cover and Erio's SF.

is there an ending for each girl or something?

OK. Someone wrote this in sankaku. Is it true or not? :eyebrow:

@:SoFarGone: Yes, there is.

@zato_1one: Thats fake, just look at least to the illustrations. This series isn't of that kind of genre.

I know that the illustration looks cute but I still want to ask for confirmation. ;)

By the way, the current progress of anime (episode 6) is in which volume of light novel?

completely nonsense, of course
I can assure you that it is a happy ending

we're still at volume 2
