Spoiler:

The first part is about Tohya and Rudy meeting with Eins and Saiguu Touri. To recap from two volumes ago, Eins basically caused the collapse of the first Round Table Council, but lost in his bid for Akiba Governor to Rayneshia. She and her supporters created the New Round Table Council while Eins left Honesty with the few supporters he had left and went on a self-imposed exile.

Now, Rudy and Eins are meeting at a restaurant in Minami. Rudy requests for the records of the Nine-Tails Dominion, for the full story behind the fall of the corrupt Code family and the powers that ruled the Dominion afterwards.

Meanwhile, Shiroe, Soujiro, Charasin, Isaac and their attendants are at the Imperial Palace in Kyou, a short distance away from Minami. There, they discuss Indicus’ role in all of this, and Shiroe decides to meet with her.

Guess it is time to finally confront the Genius Monster that is inside Indicus and the one that has been the real puppet master of Plant Hywaden and all of Westlande.

Spoiler:

We don't actually know if the Genius in her eye has been using Indicus. For all we know, she may have willingly struck a deal with it.

True, but if u look deep enough in all of the plans that Plant Hywaden has accomplished, it seems more like to benefit the Genius rather themselves or the Landers,

-The Creation of the Portable Cathedral a faster way for adventurers's to give up empanthium.

-Giving Elbert the money to purchase the sword, All to cause the city defense system to shut down and allow access to players and their empathium.

-The instigation of War between the two nations of Westlande and Eastal, To allow more landers and Adventurers to die and gain more emapathium.

So if u think about it, All of these plans all seem to benefit the Genius rather than the guild. Also Indicus is way to obsessive the genius is called the genius that compels love and it's description says : it controls "mind trafficking" . it seems more likely that she is being influenced which would explain her obsessive tendencies which you have to admit seems to be to abnormal.

To commemorate volume 11's release, a new character poll has been unveiled. It will run from now until May 3rd, and results will be posted May 13th. Assuming we don't get sucked up by the Catastrophe the day after the poll ends.

Votes can be submitted once a day, and each vote counts as 1 pt. Submitting your own fan art counts as 5 pts towards the character chosen. (So if you submit fan art with multiple characters, you can only pick one character in that image for the submission points to count towards.)

In order to vote, you will have to log into Nico Nico (it can be linked to other accounts like Google, twitter, Facebook, etc.).

Ahh, thanks =3

To be honest though, I can't help but wonder if this is also to gauge the franchise's current popularity

Considering that they're already making plans for volume 12, I don't think that's a terribly large concern. Besides, Log Horizon's mobile game is still profitable enough for them to keep it running. It's celebrating its third anniversary starting yesterday.

Elissa tweeted that volume 12 is slated to publish sometime this summer, and item collection for it will begin April 2.

Edit: A schedule for volume 12's profile/item recruitment was posted on tounomamare.com. The characters scheduled, in order, are Akatsuki, Saraliya Corwen, Rezarick (mah boi), Marves, and Saiguu Touri. (Amusingly, Marves' full name has changed again. In the initial publication of the web novel, Mamare made his name Rundostad before editing it to be Marves Ain-Arde Marves (マルヴェス＝アインアルド＝マルヴェス). Now, it's listed as Umoto Arte Marves (ウモト＝アルテ＝マルヴェス).)

Regarding the item creation, would that include english submitted ones too? or just from japan?

[DQueenie13]

You could probably submit a tweet in English, but I don't know whether they'll bother with it. (Not as if you'd know unless they were chosen.)

[tuckersister]

Do any of the characters recognize Shiroe and Akatsuki as a couple?

[DQueenie13]

Four days after its release, Log Horizon 11 is currently the #1 book bought on BookWalker for the week (and #3 for the month, despite only going up 4 days ago). Seems LH is still fairly popular.

[RDNexus]

Maybe, if things stay that way, the Anime Season3 may become a reality. Sure hope so...
And I'm saying this because, after all that controversy, I wouldn't be surprised if NHK has washed their hands off LH...

[Gatmar]

I know that the whole Tax Evasion thing was a bit of major blow for this series and it does indeed effect the chances of a s3, but look at it this way.

It is not one of the worst crimes to commit, their are authors who did far worse, also it is not like he was sent to jail, yeah he got a 10 month sentence but he was suspended probation for 3 years and it looks like he managed to stay good and pay his tax back.

So while the chances for a s3 is low, it is not completely out of the question, at least as long as the ln are still being published their is still hope. In the mean time the best thing you can do is try to support it as much as possible.

Chapter 134 is up.

Spoiler:

From what I gathered: Shiroe and Akatsuki confront Kazuhiko on their way to Indicus. Akatsuki senses the power of a Genius emanating from Kazuhiko, and the two of them briefly fight Kazu before Soujiro intervenes to duel Kazu to allow the two to pass.

Meanwhile, Nureha confronts Indicus and it goes pretty badly for her. Shiroe arrives and Nureha flees the scene.

[tuckersister]

Does anyone else knows about Kanami's kid?

This smells like the potential start of a coup @___@

There will be a two-day exhibition gallery for Log Horizon artwork that falls on the day of the Catastrophe (May 3-4, 2018). Among the works to be put up are large-scale prints of the full light novel covers, as well as rough character sketches. A new short story by Mamare will also be distributed, along with limited-quantity goodies that are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

If only I could go...

I think this is as good a "I'm back!" announcement as can be for the series =3.

Either way, it's good that hara-sensei is getting more exposure for his work.

[DQueenie13]

Elissa had a mini Q&A session on twitter, and she revealed something very interesting to come in volume 15:

Spoiler:

Mamare will finally be addressing what happens if an Adventurer and a Lander have a child.

She also mentioned that Nakasu was largely abandoned by Adventurers because the Kunie clan residing there was wiped out, rendering its facilities like the Cathedral inoperational.

[tuckersister]

I wonder there will be any progress for Shiroe and Akatsuki. I like the current pace it's going but something's got to happen.

Anyway, Shiroe is going to finally confront Indictus. How will that end?
