Volume 5 was released last week. Still undecided on getting it, as it seems the reviews for it give it a lower rating than Vols 3 and 4. Not a good sign, for me at least.
Yoshino was nowhere to be found. Kotori doesn't make an appearance, despite her huge significant plays at the end of Vol 3 + entirety of Volume 4. Hot damn. The doM pervert is the one left in command of Ratatosk in her absence, much like in Vol 4. The new AST member, Spoiler:
The love rivalry continues to escalate between Origami and Tohka. Spoiler:
Origami and Shidou Spoiler:
Ratatosk's natural enemy is apparently Spoiler:
Some more interesting bits on how Shidou's sealing of the seirei's power Spoiler:
Spoiler for Fracnasis (Ratatosk's ship) in submarine mode:
Spoiler for Tohka and Shidou kicking ass with Tohka's Sandalphon:
General consensus seems to be that the story has dipped after the awesomeness from Vols 3 and 4. Not good - hopefully Volume 6 picks up instead of dipping down further. I think it's beginning to show that the author has no clue on how to balance the characters' relative importance and roles, resorting to taking out characters per volume instead. Which is kind of bad, considering that two new seireis just joined the fray, and four more are soon to appear, not including other non-seirei characters like Mana. Oh and apparently one of the twins is a hardcore chuunibyou. Current identified seireis: Spoiler:

Volume 5 is pretty bad imo.
I think part of the reason is because it was rushed out the door so quickly. The release date for volume 6 is ALREADY announced. In fact the volume 6 release date was announced BEFORE volume 5 because they are doing a figure promotion. This author must literally be writing as fast as he can and tossing it out the door.

At this rate I might end up dropping it altogether, if Vol 6 ends up being just as rushed. Kind of sucks that the story had to suffer (and right after it just picked up with Vols 3 and 4, too) thanks to good old merchandise promotion.

I'll go on about examples, but since you haven't read the series, I'll just bracket them for anyone who's interested. Spoiler:
I suppose my frustration lies in the lack of consistency.

@all anyway i think that the author is putting lot's of things in a small amount of time...well just my opnion...and hey...i think it's natural to put some characters at second plan since he gave them too much of spotlight right? so now it's time for something new right? and could you guys give some spoilers about the twins?who are they? what are they goals? do they fall for this usefull mc? *like this sky?* |

You can still call Ichika that if you want. Same here on the questions. And .....no comment. Oh and "one of the twins is a hardcore chuunibyou"?
