There's a Tsuritama novel coming out. It seems like it will be updated weekly. Unfortunately, it's in Japanese and I don't know how likely it is to be translated. Google translate gives a somewhat passable translation though.

In case no-one mentioned this so far, the website now has special comments from Nakamura Kenji (director), Oono Toshiya (writer) and the main seiyuu, plus an adorable artwork by Uki Atsuya (chara designer). Nakamura's and Oono's comments made me go aaawwwww~~ ^^;;

Allow me translate it loosely.

^Just two notes, I think the first sentence should be something like "it was like a new epoch for me" (or maybe even epoch-making?). Also, for Akira he says he visits Enoshima from time to time, and they're also connected by sns (I can't help imagining Tapioca posting incriminating photos of Akira on Facebook XD).
I've started reading the first chapter of the novelization, and it's pretty good. So far Yuki's parts are written in first person, and wow, the boy has some pretty dark thoughts! (Nothing over the top, though, it quite fits the character from the anime.) Also, in this version he can't speak French, he just likes how it sounds. Kate, however, does speak some French (and it seems alright to me but most of my French knowledge is very, very passive). There are also some things we haven't seen in the anime (very small things, such as Haru being in fish form, some lines that didn't make it, Yuki remembering his father, etc). |

Someone should translate Oono's message - it's pretty personal and puts the whole thing in a very interesting perspective. (I'll do it myself if no-one wants to, but Natsuki's line that he quotes is so insanely awesome that I probably wouldn't do it justice in English.)

Well, I did a very loose translation myself. Please note that my brain is pretty much cooked at the moment from the heat, also I are ESL person. (And in the end I didn't even tackle that line, I hope the meaning does come through, especially from this context.)

Also, Yuki = winter (well, snow) and what's spring? Why, Haru of course. Spring thaws winter, does it not?
I'll be on the lookout for Oono Toshiya in future - he came completely from off my radar screen with Tsuritama, but this is a name to watch. Thanks for the translation!

As for Oono, apparently Tsuritama was only the third anime he wrote (fourth if we count the Suite PreCure movie), he's been writing mostly movies and TV dramas. I hope he'll do more anime in the future... |

Oricon numbers are out, and Tsuritama V. 1 did 2116 DVDs in the opening weekend. BDs didn't rank but the threshold was about 3.3K. It's very possible Tsuritama could end up around 4K in the final numbers, which would be a very solid number for a NoitaminA series with four guys as the main characters.

Noitamina's producer Yamamoto once said Nodame Cantabile didn't do as badly as first few weeks of Oricon numbers suggested, its backorder sales were much better. Given enough time, Tsuritama will be able to break even, no worries. I'm also playing with the idea of purchasing the discs.
