“Supporting censorship”? You're not helping your case, you realize that right?

So you just stereotyped me by calling me a drama queen, takes one to know one I guess. And since you can't provide a true opinion on the matter why do you bother responding then?

Thanks for sharing your opinion at least on that to which I still think you're incorrect.

Since he’s taking care of the epilogues in these two volumes, it looks like we won’t be getting that last epilogue volume that we wanted. Hopefully there’ll be a chapter or two at the end of volume 22 that counts for the epilogue after all this stuff with the “new” girl.
Also, the Tsunako Spirit artbook covered up to volume 11.

Half of the series volume number. Just as predicted.

My hopes of that second artbook with more Inverse illustrations grow stronger.......

He could just mean DAB will go on after the last main story volume.

Yeah. Artbook #1 stopping at V11 randomly, when it released alongside V16 has always been weird.
It only covered Encore 1-5 too, even though Encore 6 was out by then...

I share these hopes likewise!!

Yeah, that's what I think he means, too. Encore 10, which he confirmed in Encore 9's afterword, will probably release after V22, too.

Basic on the summary i found on reddit and facebook i don't like where this is going. so basically The beast went rampage and start killing everyone who go to a date with Shidou. will Tachibana sacrifice rest of the spirit to make a good end for Tohka?

Origami and Nia aren't dead. They're being treated with Realizers on the Fraxinus.
Plus Kurumi, Yoshino and Kotori weren't attacked.

I think it's nice he decided to do that. At least we should be able to get some closure with all the spirits.

oh good. i kinda worried when i read The beast went to stab the girls with on their chest

so i guess we need wait until volume 22 to get the information about the new spirit?

Yeah, same here!!

Nah, they're definitely still alive, don't worry.
But yeah, nothing about her is revealed in V21. Considering the chapter names, I'd imagine that the pay off will be in Chapter 10, given her likely identity.

I don't know I got a bad feeling about this. Watching that one anime Tachibana worked on I don't think things are going to go the way we think.

[sparhawk1610]

hmm after I did read the chapters for the spirits, I wonder what author call the closure, cuz the things stays pretty much the same as before. It is really more like encore volume. The chapters didn´t really solved anything with other girls tbh.

If you mean Qualidea Code, then he didn't work on that alone - he was equal partners with Wataru Watari and Sou Sagara. In fact, it was those two that came up with the original idea - Tachibana joined later.
Plus after the grand reveal, like, eight-tenths in, that ending was pretty obvious. DAL's equivalent would have been Mio's appearance in V18.

He didn't say closure - he said Epilogue. He basically just wants to show what the Spirits are up to one year later and answer any remaining mysteries about them.
Nia and Yoshino's chapters 'solved' a lot by giving us their pre-Spirit backstories. For Origami, Kurumi, and Kotori, there is nothing left to solve.

Sorry my but you can´t really call it even a epilogue. You just know what they are up to how did you write. Yes, we did get some background stories but in Nia case it was more like teasing than actual background episode. And you know, usually when you write epilogue for something you write it cuz it is closure for something. I can accept Yoshino chapter after I did read it, it was pretty emotional one, but rest was just kind of meh.

Spoiler for 21:

The part about girls have feelings for shido and him thinking all the time about Tohka is just the same thing repeating. And write about date with Shido and after that send them to hospital cuz Beast appears...idk what to think about that. The second part better be a good written one cuz this was just encore volume with a small bits of main story volume. And origami episode...well better not comment that one cuz only one part that was a bit good were the last few sentences after they took the photo. Tbh there wasn´t DaL volume that disappointed me like this one did. I guess we will get some Encore afterstories volume or volumes cuz this can´t be rly count as epilogue for girls anyway. and end volume with 覚悟など、とうに済ませていた。

　決意など、すでに済ませていた。

　ならば恐怖などする必要がない。

　ならば戦慄など、している暇がない。

　なぜなら士道は、今からこの少女を救わねばならないのだから──！

　士道は足を一歩前に踏み出すと、途絶えた琴里の言葉を継ぐように、言った。


「さあ──俺たちの戦争を、始めよう」


sigh...I better stop cuz it just makes me more sad

Any new spoilers on it specifically the harem i hope its a true harem ending cause im rooting for a heroine that would definitely loose if it goes the OTP route
