Hell, for all we know they plan it to bridge to v15 and they've still got 6 more covers worth of new characters to put on the next few volumes.

Since it was part of the Disappearance campaign, the artwork was posted in the official guidebook along with other Ito-san drawings, and it clearly was meant to end with Sasaki. Apologizes for the horrible scan. The sky colors don't match for Kyon and Sasaki to face each other. The only thing that I have my doubts about is the rail in the back stopping between Kunikida and Adult Mikuru by Fungai and begining again by Sasaki. Only time will tell if they meant to have other ones inbetween. Edit: This really isn't worth a double-post bump, but Amazon has put up the official art for the hard cover version of Boredom.

Also, Boredom would be this July, right? I might take it with me on my trip to America this summer. Last edited by Joe4evr; 2010-03-22 at 16:40. |

What if you woke up one morning, and everything changed?I draw your attention to the bolded descriptions of Nagato, though the writing mechanics of this little blurb could also be improved. Nonetheless, yay! That's a full month earlier than I was expecting, and that means it'll probably be available for purchase sometime in October, going by Sighs and Melancholy. |

I tend to completely ignore the blurbs as they're patently inaccurate.
It's what's inside that counts. Although, come to think of it, the story IS a bit like It's a Wonderful Life. ...I think I have a new appreciation for Disappearance now. |

By the way, the information is also available in more official form on the Hachette-Website.

Yeah, but there are other stories where robots develop emotions because of extremely advanced artificial intelligence - Time of Eve for one example. So I can kind of see where they got that, even if it's wildly inaccurate. But time-traveling? And without attaching that adjective to Mikuru, too.

For those keeping track:
Six months, nine months, four months. Seems to me they're cranking this out as fast as they possibly can, rather than keeping to any sort of perceived schedule. If that's true... I wonder what was so hard about Boredom? Maybe they (the translators) split into two teams at that point? (Alternatively, what was so easy about Disappearance?)

It'll be interesting to see the timeframe for future releases (if the sales continue to be as positive as they have been).

I have to ask, are the other blurbs of the translated novels like this too? Boy oh boy, are the readers going to be surprised when they find out this isn't a happy book. |

Not wrong to this degree. The blurb of Melancholy says Kyon sits behind Haruhi, while it's actually vice versa; the one for Sigh isn't particularly wrong anywhere, though.

Feel free to contact them about the blurb sounding stupid, though, because it certainly does. ^_^
