Genesis Testament Volume 2
Release Date: July 10th, 2020 Goodbye 24th. On the 25th, its my turn to go full throttle and give it my all ☆ >As soon as he realized, Kamijou was in the hospital. What awaited there was... not the denunciation of that event between Kamijou and Anna, but a nursing rush by Index, the Sisters, Misaka and Shokuhou!?

He really pushing this Misaka/Misaki narrative, isn't he? these popularity polls really had an impact on the story. Misaka was just a side character in most stories and Misaki wasn't even in freaking OT.
I really wonder what with the sudden interest in overusing characters like Misaka and Misaki when he barely used them when his series was in all-time high popularity-wise. Is this just a desperate attempt to sell because the sales of the novel are pretty lackluster nowadays? I am not complaining, but if he really wanna cash in on these characters' popularity in the main story then he really should drop the spin-offs that focus on them. He's been recycling between the same 6-7 characters for few years now. A spin-off about Gunha would be better for example instead of just shoving Misaka in everything in 2 series and Misaki being on 50% of Astral buddy pages. |

I was talking about the narrative a perspective more than anything.
I am aware that they have to continue some of these spin-offs because of profit, but it just feels wrong for them to keep focusing on the same characters again and again despite the series having a very huge set of casts. Especially when said characters are already heavily promoted in other spin-offs. Misaki for example in one-half of Astral buddy pages. I know some won't agree with me, but I can shake the feeling that this recycling of the same characters is just a desperate attempt to revive the main series that went downhill sales-wise due to drop in quality mid-NT and a series of question marketing decisions. |

Regarding the forgotten cast, supposedly the author said he's going to feature them again for this new series... Not like he has a choice IMO, a truckload of characters introduced on NT didn't leave an impact except for 2 or 3 characters.

Popularity talks, so by that metric, Mikoto is still in first place in terms of potential love interests. I hadn't heard that. Though it would be nice to see old characters coming back.
