Not everyone read novels /manga/watch anime to find waifus. Did you even read what I wrote? i'm telling you the sales number didn't drop at all after killing Yatori, and that this series is performing better that 95%+ of LN. There is not a SINGLE REASON to axe a novel series performing that well, and isolated peoples (because yes, they are isolated) who lose interest after seeing Yatori dying have 0 influence on this. Most peoples on those board -outside of Larethian- who are complaining about Yatori's death are anime secundaries who only know the characters from the anime alone, where Yatori was developed far more than any other character. So while it's logic to get that feeling for you guys, remember that 1) you're not supposed to judge the series ' decision in volume 7+ while only having the knowledge of character's development from volume 1-3. On top of this in this precise case, you even got partially Yatori's development from volume 7 (btw she pretty much has none in volume 4-6) so it's even more biased than it should be. 2) At the time Yatori dies, Icta, Matthew, Chamille are all FAR FAR more developed and more interesting than Yatori. Then Haroma gets developed after that and Yatori doesn't comes close of her current development. The only character less developed among the starting 6 is Torway, and he isn't that far after Yatori. And for anyone spouting nonsense about quality dropping, volume 11 was probably the best volume so far in the series and it focused on Haroma (third volume on a row that did that, in fact). Talk about the series dropping in quality, kek. It doesn't drop in quality, Yatori is far more interesting as a dead character which death pushes the other characters in changing and evolving than she was alive by keeping everyone from really evolving, the sales aren't dropping and it's selling very well for a LN. And anime onlys complaining about Yatori aren't affecting the LN sales since they're not buying it anyway so their opinion is moot. Tell me now, how am I supposed to see most of the complaints from anime onlys about Yatori as something more than just ignorant whining? I said it before, the author's decision to kill Yatori was right. The story became far better that way. It doesn't mean that I dislike Yatori (as I don't) but simply that Yatori accomplishes far more by dying than any other character would have by dying, and that she accomplishes far more for the story by being dead than by being alive. "No point to argue now anyway, we don't even know rumour about cancellation is true." That's incorrect, like said above, we 100% know the cancellation is not true. There isn't a single logical reason to cancel this series, and cancelled series are cancelled for logical reasons. If the rumour about it finishing on volume 14 is true, then that's just that the story is ending there, and not that it's cancelled. So either way, the cancellation isn't true.

I hope someone posts a short summary of Vol 14 at least to see how it ends. I'm still rooting Chamille and IKta tying the knot in the end. I'm also interested how Ikta is gonna "lose" the war. I bet he and the "other" Haro may play key points.
Sorry, I forgot the "other" Haro's name (I know she has one). If she switched sides, what's she doing to help her "family"? It must be hard for Haro to deal with her "other" personality especially if someone wants to speak with "her". |

I can't speak for everyone but I thought the interaction between Ikta and Yatori was the most interesting and entertaining part of the series. Unfortunately Yatori suffered from character assassination (literally, in this case) and I lost interest.
The first few arcs are still great so not a big loss. |

Ending isn't out yet, last volume will be out next month.
One thing that I can, tell you, is that there will be no resurrection of dead characters whatsoever (this was discussed as a possibility here for a while). The whole "body in ice" thing was for another purpose. We learn of why it was done by the end of volume 12.
