IT'S HEREEEEEE (I haven't been following the anime thread, so if it's already posted there then <__<)!~!
Volume 7 to be on sale 3/24. According to Wiki, side 4 is to be out by May, and VIII will be the end of the series (tentatively scheduled for 2011). News is from Yasei Jidai, where the series's short stories are being published starting from 2010 December for 4 months. |

Good news about English Vol 3 in August. I'll believe it when I see it and all that, but I am hopeful!
Interesting about there possibly only being 8 volumes ... I kinda like "short and sweet" stories like that (compared, say to 30-40 volume works).

Another question - anyone heard which volumes the current anime series will cover and/or if there will be any "new"/invented material?
If only 8 volumes will exist and if the current season is successful (which it seems it will be thus far, although it is early in the game) perhaps a second season will be forthcoming that will be able to "wrap everything up" volumes wise.... Anyone else heard anything about this?

Afaict Tokyopop is basically saying "We will see how the current offerings we have available sell before looking at printing other Gosick volumes." No big surprise there. Not that I blame them in this aspect - I feel what they say is true: "niche" books in general are a slow seller. Well ... I "did my part" by buying volumes 1 and 2, I guess.

Haha no problem for the update I have been nagging them on this light novel (and Full Metal Panic!) for a year or more now.. I also did my part 1 and 2 are proudly on my manga / ln / n shelf ~
And yes it was an expected response.. but it does show some e-mails and such are being directed in GoSicks favor to Tokyopop its something

Thanks SirWence for the info. So it looks like they still want to release more eh? Hopefully then they do a better job than the embarrassment that was the translation for the second novel.

I think he does. On one hand I genuinely think he was intimidated by her, though iirc he showed her some kindness during the Skull arc. Or might've been some of the side stories ... it's been while since I've read this series but the overall impression was positive.

Imo he looks much better that way ... wonder why he drilled up his hair in the first place? Maybe so it wouldn't get in his eyes?
