Haven't seen this mentioned elsewhere, but the Shakugan no Shana ~Eternal Song~ manga recently started in the bimonthly magazine Dengeki Black Maoh, with an official free preview (just a couple of pages) here. The art looks really awesome, and there's some well-drawn fighting in the full chapters from the magazine. It's set in the time of Alastor's previous vessel (during the "great war"?), so we get to see Wilhemina and the other flame hazes and tomogarana in their "previous forms." Since it's unlicensed and obviously untranslated, hopefully some group will pick it up for scanlation.

The fourth manga will be released in Japan on the 26th. They have included some kind of an "alternate" cover in the most recent release of Dengeki Daioh.

Any idea of which novel it will be based on ?

Assuming they're not jumping anywhere, I would imagine that it's going to start covering things from the second novel.

To clarify my earlier statement, I meant that the fourth volume, of the original manga, is going to be released.

I skimmed through my copy just now, it ends with Shana fighting against Margery whilst Yuji and Ramies are talking elsewhere.

Here is the cover.

I finished going over the fourth manga yesterday.

Quick overview as follows to the best of my Japanese comprehension:

Spoiler:

• Satou and Eita sees Margery kick some delinquent ass and quickly becomes her lackeys
• Yuji is disheartened by his inability to perform well during trainings and ups and leaves a frustrated Shana
• Margery and co. goes around looking for clues of Ramies
• Shana wants Yuji to go fight with her but he feels useless / does not contribute, Shana leaves
• Yoshida wants to make a present for her younger brother and Ike gets Yuji to help her shop around for materials
• the pair encounters Ramies, chit-chat between Yuji and Ramies ensues
• Margery uses spells to search for Ramies, Shana picks it up, the two confront and fight
• manga ends with Yuji noting to Ramies that Shana's definitely going to be alright (although you see in the panel next to it that she's seriously wounded)

Another excellent volume with ultra moe Shana drawings along with some very, very funny scenes.

At least they plan to release it, even if it is a year late.

The fifth volume ends with the pair leaving to fight Margery (this is the second time after Shana's initial defeat).

No change, it's by Ayato Sasakura as usual.
