We're not going to make a thread that is nothing but a compiled summary of volume-specific spoilers. Why? As I explained in an earlier post, we don't encourage redundant threads. kusabireika's suggestion is an excellent one. Use the search function for words like spoiler or summary.

A thread for volume 14?Even if it was no released,we already know the title and could make speculations/discuss about it.

^^ Quoting myself from the News thread:

Well,I didnt read that.Sry
But in my defense,even if it was in the previous page,the post that you quoted was from 2 months ago.
I think it`s already close enough since it already has a release date.

My point still stands.

But I'm curious. How does a post I made on July 4, 2014, within a series of posts from the same day qualify as being from 2 months ago? Do you have a time machine of something?

In this case, since v13 has been released and spoilers are appearing, current at the moment is v13 and the prediction thread is dedicated to thoughts about v14+.

The v13 discussion thread is to be used to discuss what actually happens in v13, meaning first the spoilers and eventually the English version.

When the actual v14 release date nears, I anticipate we'll make a v14 specific thread to discuss the hints, spoilers, and eventually the English version. Meanwhile the predictions thread will then naturally shift to speculations about v15+.

In other words, "beyond the current" is a moving target always one step ahead of the most recent volume. Each volume will get its own thread when it's close to release time.

Edit: Another way to think of the relationship between "Beyond the Current", Volume 13, and the someday in the future Volume 14, etc threads, is to think of how an anime forum works. We have episode threads and usually at least one speculation thread. Beyond the Current is the novel series equivalent of the anime's speculation thread. Volume 13 Discussion and the someday in the future Volume 14, etc, are like episode discussion threads. I chose the title "Beyond the Current" to highlight the thread's speculative nature. But I'm not tied to the title. I'm only tied to the idea that there needs to be a separate thread for speculation which is what relentlessflame set up at the forum's creation.

Confused with this one that you made in 2014-05-03.

[LKK]

I see. That is easily confused.

The reason for waiting to create the v14 thread (or any future novel thread) is to keep the speculations out of the actual novel thread and in the Beyond Current thread for as long as possible.

Sorry, but there won't be a versus thread. Like shipping threads, versus threads get out of control too easily.

Requesting a new thread for the upcoming manga adapting the parasite arc. Art will be done by Majiko!

Is there a title for this project yet? Any other info beside the arc and the artist?

[bakato]

The title will be Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Raihousha-hen.

As announced in the Predictions for Beyond the Current Volume thread, Volume 20: The Southern Sea Riot is expected to release in September. A new thread for v20 will be created approximately 1 month before release, in other words, some time in August. Until then, keep using the Predictions thread to discuss speculations of volume 20' content.

We need a new thread for the movie.

[LKK]

There is already a discussion thread for the movie in the anime forum.

[-Mahesvara_]

We should make a thread for the manga adaption of the summer holidays(5th volume) its called Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Natsuyasumi-hen.

The first volume did so well, it cracked the top 10 in manga sales for the previous week.

A thread for Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Natsuyasumi-hen has been created.
