Spoiler for sigh:
Well, I guess that's good to know, in any case. Also, is it actually called "Chapter 1" or did they continue with the numbering from Vol. 9 and go with "Chapter 4"? |

Ooohh... Good catch... Literally. ^_^
Well, I can say for certainty that if the spoilers are correct (and considering the other pictures that have been relased by the same source, there's no reason to assume they are not), this is truly an interesting and welcome development. And what was described may not take up that much space, so I'm assuming that the α-7 portion that was released is only the first section of chapter 1, leaving room for plenty more story (and more "surprises" on the β-side). Spoiler for Volume 10 spoilers:

A few sideway musing:
If [the said spoiler] is construed as fan-pandering, then there's no greater fan-pandering than to extend the novel series ad infinitum, contrary to some of author's own past and recent expressions. There is no greater constraint to creative liberty than it's own success. If Ian Fleming's alive today even he couldn't kill off James Bond. Non-essential journalism, not unlike tabloids, is fertile ground for manipulation at best, and wholesale propaganda at its utmost. The whole (original) Evangelion series ending fiasco was to make TWO movies out of two originally planned episodes, with its creator taking heat from the fans for the corporate good. Not so much unlike the Haruhi hiatus. In retrospect [the said spoiler] shouldn't be a surprise either. Like Endless 8 "timed" the TV series for the Disappearance movie, note how the webisodes, movie, manga, and even the secondary manga (Yuki-chan) all prominently featured [the said spoiler], in synchronicity, to prepare the fanbase to accept [the said spoiler] back into the canon. Kudos to Kadokawa. Am I a cynical paranoid conspiracist? Perhaps. But as Haruhi herself taught us, a) it's more interesting that way. And as Kyon would mutter, b) just follow the damn money, and be pleasantly surprised when life doesn't. |
