I would see him as a genius in his own way for the feats he's performing, especially with respect to his foresight which is pretty much seer-level

To draw a parallel, Einstein was also labeled dumb in school. Later in life, he came up with the theory of relativity, but the funny thing was that his math was so bad that he couldn't get the equations right and got 2 skilled mathematicians (or physicists? I can't remember) to help him out. He thought up the theory but couldn't get it down in math as a physicist. Now, will that be labeled as genius or dumb?

That's why I call Sora 'a genius gamer in his own way'. Of course, Shiro would be on a completely different level with regards to raw brain power.

didnt Time magazine debunk that rumor?

It seems that you may be right. Though I believe it was based on historian's findings rather than the magazine itself.

Anyway my point was that a person who's labeled by society as dumb could have aptitudes in other areas and succeed in that area in a way no one or few could duplicate. Whether one will call that as a 'genius in his own right' could be subjective though.

It's quite common to call somebody by bitch/whore at least in anime. If you ask me, prostitute and bitch are no different, so normal.

anyone know whose the angel that appears in the illustrations in volume 2?

mike211 · 2013-08-19, 08:42

Could some clarity if the brother and sister are blood related or are they step sibling?

Well I would start reading once vol 1 is competed, till then I read my other titles.

Waxman · 2013-08-19, 12:10

They are step siblings but has been together since long time

shadow1296 · 2013-08-19, 13:35

chapter 4 of vol. 1 is now translated at baka-tsuki

mike211 · 2013-08-20, 03:48

Thank for answering, some how I knew they ain't blood related.

Seitsuki · 2013-08-20, 04:15

Would it make a difference? They're obviously the OTP, harem be damned.

kuroishinigami · 2013-08-20, 05:00

What seitsuki said. They literally couldn't live without each other lol.

This is purely speculation, but I think having a harem is a requirement in MF books. Someone tell me a MF title that has none.

Seitsuki · 2013-08-20, 06:24

And it's an utter tragedy. What started all this mainstream harem rubbish? IS? Stuff like Aria also started coming out around that time iirc.

No it's MF. If you don't want to write a harem, just go to another publisher. Dengeki, Fujimi, Sneaker, Famitsu, etc. etc. have non-harem titles. Now, where's that MF book that has no harem, anyone?

Seitsuki · 2013-08-20, 06:40

Apparently they did Voices of a Distant Star. In 2002.

IS refers to Infinite Stratos, which was formerly under MF.

I heard MF published a light novel adaptation of Girls und Panzer? Also, Gun Princess is another MF light novel, and I don't think it's a harem.

Well anyway the guy has decided against the step-siblings route, last I checked?

Waxman · 2013-08-20, 12:09

Well, he is against it but the 11 little sister has remarked a couple of times "only seven years more" after certain events, and given their dependence on each other is difficult to rule the posibility altogether

mike211 · 2013-09-01, 07:51

I just started reading this and liking what i read by the minutes.

The sibling must have a horrible past to shut down like that when they ain't near each other.

*edit*
I just finish reading vol 1 and what can I say other than WHAT A EPIC CHESS MATCH.

She's called "Gibrelle".

Spoiler:

And about the game they played

Spoiler:

If Sora and co ever get a computer with touhou on it they can use that for defensive battles, i don't think they will ever be beaten

Breimoon · 2013-09-05, 15:49

well, they do have pc but i don't think they will use it in games. They want hard games.
