I guess I can't stop you if that's the case.

What issues do you still have with Miku anyway?

Strangely, this forum is the only place where I get complaints about 2 volume arcs. Maybe it's because of Riki.

Forgive me for the low quality. And there's also another one.

Spoiler for Another Volume 9:

I looked at the picture, was like, wow, not a bad drawing...

...and then wondered if Natsumi's arc was going to last 3 volumes and not 2.

About Shiori. Most likely he had to disguise himself as her again so Natsumi won't recognise him.

Wait, who again?

Looks like it.

4chan downed that theory by pointing out that due to her introductory scene, she couldn't be a human turned Spirit.

There was speculation that she suffered bullying in the Spirit world though.

Spoiler for Vol 8 chap 5:

Even though he shouted, that high-pitched voice only fruitlessly echoed inside the room

She transformed Shidou in either a kid or a girl.

Pardon my ignorance but, who's 4chan?

The biggest, baddest place on the net. Proceed with caution.

Indeed. I'm starting to lean on the 3-volume side, since Volume 9 is gonna have Natsumi's true form on the cover, but what of Volume 10? An Inverse?

That I wouldn't have said better. But if, as my theory stated, Natsumi did reverse the gender polarity of our beloved protag, will she still recognize him?

How so?

[tuckersister]

Is there a bigger picture of Reine for Vol 9? It's a bit small.

But how can they know she not a human spirit that went to the spirit world, we only have two spirit that we know that were human turned spirit but neither of them went to the spirits world so we have no idea if a human spirit can go to the spirit world yet.

If Shirori did dress Natsumi up, she has a good taste in clothing (even for a guy). Is Shiroi inside the mirror or she's outside with Natsumi? I don't know if the mirror is Haniel.

The background looks like the time was in the sunset. I doubt that this takes place during the beginning of the novel. Assuming Shidou became Shiori, this has to take place after a school day if he/she went to school. Why would he/she wear his/her school uniform?

It would seems they are shopping, which means it's a regular mirror, and yes, it would seem Shiori is dressing Natsumi up to make her beautiful in her real form, so she won't have to shapeshift, and the sealing be made easier. This also would spell goodbye to the oneesan Natsumi.

A really sad fact. Damn lolicon author. I would like to know how Shiori managed to convince Natsumi in showing her loli form.

Afraid we wont know until it revealed why she dislikes her true form, it could be she been bullying or she mite just not like her real form for some strange reason.

So, sickly girl who possibly might have been bullied thus the reason for her form in volume 8, which is a means to protect herself? Natsumi already is cuter than Yoshino.

But, in the end, Kotori is still the best for being the most fun, awesome, and cutest at her peak! Also, the fact her route points to True End...for better or worst.

Shiori, though, is in a tier of her own, obviously.

[Breimoon]

she was just probably a quite type girl who stands in a corner not talking to other girls and wit hair covering her face. As much as lolis may warm your heart i'd like at least one big boobed onee-san.

[tuckersister]

Natsumi is much cuter than Yoshino. Reine finally returns to the LN.

Reine never left in the first place.

Err sorry didn't saw your post...My guess is Shidou needs to disguise himself so he can get close to Natsumi without making her afraid, remember that Natsumi really hates Shidou, well that or Shidou needs to show her the proof of the power of make up

Unlikely. If she really did transform him into a girl, she'd have known his female form, and would have avoided her. The fact that she didn't as shown implies that she didn't turn him into a girl.

“I am Natsumi. Well--------------I seem to be called <Witch> by you people”

“Oh yeah. Fufufu, I thought of asking them when I meet a human this time”

Implies that she was never a human to begin with.

Well maybe it's related to the fact i am doing the translation of 2 volumes which sums up into 600+pages? I am just guessing.

Yep Miku done nothing to redeem herself. hopefully this would change but all she has done in this volume is go Dere dere.

Miku redeemed herself in my eyes when she helped Shidou(there was no need for her to get involved at all) fight Inverse Tohka to the point of using all her energy(lost her voice) and leaving herself vulnerable and could have lost her life if Shidou not protected her. Then she went all darling on Shidou.

Oh you mean fixing the problem she caused?

Don't judge me here m'kay. if she hadn't brought the walking dead into the Arena and mind-controlled the Fraxinus, Tohka and Shidou would probably still be safe and the worst thing that could happen is a rat race to catch those 2.
