Gaiden, as far as I know, is on 4 volumes already... In LN-format, I guess...

No, this is incorrect.
Gaiden is 5 books, and they're in the original large format.

The half-size two-split LN (bunko) versions are currently at gaiden book 3 of 5.

So basically when the LN editions catch up, there will be 20 books in that format.
I have all the gaiden in the large format, but continuing to buy the smaller format as well.

[RDNexus]

Ah, OK, thanks for clarifying things.
Then, in large format, there are 5 main-story volumes and 5 gaiden volumes, right?

[aohige]

Yeah. Currently waiting for season 2 to begin (which should start at book 11 obviously)

[RDNexus]

Ninja'd... Just confirmed it through jap wikipedia. Thanks anyway

Gaiden could, pretty much, be considered Season2, since it's as long as Season1, and Season2 could be considered Season3

I just watched episode 3. Does Leilei's sister ever make an appearance and have they gotten paired up yet?

By the way, in novel what are requirement to become apostles? Also is there a apostles allow start a family?

For Prince Zorzal, how he react when he found out Tyuule playing him as puppet and fool and planning to kill him? Also before his death, did he undergo villainous breakdown and receiving end of 'the reason you suck' speech?

[AC-Phoenix]

So I wanted to read the chapters covered by the anime in the manga and couldn't keep myself from continueing to read...
So I a question about something that might have been better explained in the novel...

When Pinya managed to find a gun during her first visit, did she manage to bring it back to the empire or did the metal detector find it?
Theoretically hard plastic weapons should be possible so I am kinda confused about whether the pistol that was on the table was the same Pinya picked up or just the same model. ~ Having read through the night might not have helped my perception in that regard either

[Jorna]

Just want to ask about the character relationships like can someone give me the who's paired with who and how far there relationships is in the current story.

Like Deliliah had to take responsibility for Yanagida did they start a relationship. I want to know other characters relationships status is like.

Yes, it was found out. And not just that gun but other guns that they looted out from CIA, Russian and Chinese agents. But its just too many that the soldier in the gate just turns a blind eye about it.

They are already having shortage in good equipment and having new equipment is always welcome.

The requirements of becoming a demigod is not clearly defined but becoming an apostle (a type of demigod) is pretty simple. Be chosen by a god.

All the demigods that showed up in the novel so far are apostles with one exception.
The Forest Goddess Yareharun is a sentient forest who became a demigod through sheer evolution alone. She serves no god as her master.

Also, no idea if procreating is possible.

Spoiler:

Tomita marries Bozes.
Kurata becomes lovers with Persia.
Furuta develops mutual romance with Tyuule, but ends in a tragedy.
Yanagida ends with Delilah.
Kengun is now dating Vifiita
Sugawara is betrothed to Sherry
Prince Diabo and Panache
Moy is a trap who ends up with demigodess Wareharun

[Endscape]

Those I understood, It was jsut Pinya's gun that made me go '?'

Thank you for clearing that up for me.

[charles88]

Can't, I'm at work right now.

Furuta is the chef. He has appeared in the manga many times already.
Kengun is the leader of the heli squad that came to Itallica's rescue. The older man that gave Pina impression of a seasoned warrior.
Vifiita is a young boyish knight in Pina's orders, she hasn't shown up in the manga yet.
Panache was the short haired knight you saw during the Itallica arc, she was with Bozes when reporting to Pina about beating up Itami.
Moy and Wareharun doesn't appear until the Gaidens. Moy is a trap shota who dresses in goth-loli outfit, one of Rory's followers.
Wareharun I explained in the post above.

Even if the body of a gun is made from plastic, all the internals and specially the barrel are made of metal to cope with all the forces it has to sustain. That they can't be detected by a metal detector is just a myth, further exaggerated by all those fear mongering articles about 3D printed guns.

[Brald]

Hello, can anyone say:

Spoiler for question:

They were able to restore the gates to Japan?

[charles88]

So what kind of ruler of Prince Zorzal and Pina on they become emperor?

Also which race that actually native to special area that not came from other world cause by opening of Gate

Did all Itami squadron stay behind special area after gate closed?

So it's a real possibility for Itami to become a demigod once Rory becomes a god? lol.
