The only problem with what we have based off the currently existing chapters of Needless II is the simple fact that until an official run begins, we have no idea how much of it is going to be retconned. For all we know, Adam N's introduction in Needless II may be re-done, and there go all our theories (as usual...)

[Homura7]

Needless 1.5 is canon. Imai said it twice: in his official website and at the end of volume 8, in the section containing Madam Black's profile.

Who's your first favorite if I may ask?

It doesn't change the fact that changes need to be made to 1.5 in order for it to make sense now. 1.5 started out as Needless' one-shot. Teruyama who values friendship to want to take revenge for them would not abandon anyone to work as a gate keeper. If Eve is willing to let Blade be the dominant soul in the body. I see not reason why their souls would be in conflict and try to merge, when there is consensus between them. Plus, Cruz would not leave Blade's side ever, no matter what circumstances.

Two years passed, and in this amount of time many things had to happen. Probably some changes will eventually be made (the ice needless, for example), though important bits such as Adam N.'s messed up memory, Madam Black, or Cain, will be kept in the original way those were portrayed.

I find it funny Solva says an angel might still be around when there's one with them.

It's even funnier the fact that this manga started with 3 male mains and 4 female and now there're 6 female mains and only one male

...the males teruyama right?

Teruyama's not a main character. He's just an underling.

Anyway, this is what Imai's latest diary entry actually says about Needless 2:

実は編集部にも「次回は違うの描いてみない？」と言われてるので
次回作はちょっと気分を変えたいのでニードレス２じゃないものを描くつもりですが
またきっと帰ってきますのでその時はまたご愛顧よろしくお願いします。

And here's what Google Translate makes of it. It's surprisingly similar to English for once:

In fact, it is said, "I do not try to draw the difference next time?" Said the editorial section
Next project is'll paint something not a needless two because we want to change the mood a little
Thank you for your patronage also at that time because it will be back surely.

[Homura7]

^ The last line is evertyhing you should take into account of that entry.

My first favorite character is Teruyama. I feel he has potential to be a main hero more than everyone.

You are so mean.

Hey, he's like the only one that cared about what Adam did to Cruz.

...In other words, we'll be waiting a few years for Needless II. However, by next year, we'll see whay Kami's new series will be.

Finally picked up my copy of UJ for this month. It seems that the Needless History article I thought would be in next month's issue was in this month's issue and that it was more of a timeline of everything than an actual article.

At the very end, however was a message from Imai Kami with a nice picture of Cruz in the background. Below is the full page pic (focused on Cruz) as well as additional images zoomed in on the text. Hopefully someone out there has enough time to gladly translate the message for us and, to whoever does it, I deeply appreciate it.

Also, for anyone else who cares, I did finish writing a post on 114 that I'll have on my blog soon (it's been about a year since I've written about it). Should be up sometime this weekend. (I'll post a link a bit later here)

That is a good pic of Cruz, despite how a little awkward it is seeing her wearing a bikini. Thanks for posting these images. Was the timeline about the events from the beginning to this point or were the oneshots that happen in Needles 2 included? I'm looking forward to your blog post.

...you've made a powerful enemy dear child...

[Kurohane]

Aww, I'm not included wcthesecret?

[Magin]

Yeah, it's going to take quite a while before seeing Cruz in a bikini becomes anything but unsettling, despite all the gags throughout the series...

I wonder how often he checks this thread. He used to post a while back but I haven't seen him around for a while.

Either way, it'll get translated eventually, it's only a question of time right now.
