(L) Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance [Light Novel]

[Yye1]

Spoiler for Volume 12:

One week since the end of the <Blade Dance>. Following the event in the sanctuary(?) of the <Spirit Lords>, Kamito opens his eyes for the first time in a long while after having lost consciousness. Claire cries out of relief. But upon turning to her, Kamito says words of despair --- "Who are you?". Yes, Kamito has forgotten everything related to Restia. About the Academy, his teammates, and about the sealed sword spirit as well---. Peaceful days at the academy are passed during this period of memory loss. However, the destiny surrounding the <Demon King> won't permit that. Before the annual school festival, the magic of an enemy draws near Kamito who has both his memories and sword(s?) sealed---. The peerless elemental fantasy raises the curtain in grandeur on the 12th volume (bullet)!

This is what I got, really interesting

Nice cover, the art significantly improved compare to all previous version.
Restia Shipping meter maxed! ok this is the obvious conclusion, Kamito fall into a blank state 3 years ago when he lost Restia, we can safely assumed that between Restia and Kamito lies a very strong link(love) that's beyond the contract and her lost led him down to true despair, forcing him to locked his own memories of her, Est, as his current contract spirit, is affected by his sadness and end up in a similar state.This make the girls have no choice but to acknowledge Kamito's true love is Restia and Find a way to bring her back so they can have a reunion of love, i expect something like this, of course, whether Kamito is going to goes berserk or not is questionable but as long as Restia is in his arm, it's all ok(and demon king Kamito hugging Restia while his tear flowing is also perfect in my book. )

well there is also the possibilities of other girls wake him up(well... you know who), but with the author experience in romance novel, i doubt it will happened so i expect Restia will be the one to wake him up.

^whats w/ the itsuka tenma pic?

[dragon1412]

my expectation of Restia and Kamito Reunion.

[cloud04]

i think missing some girls going ballistic? XD

[dragon1412]

no, by this point, all the other realized they never have a chance in front of true love and gracefully looking at these 2 and accept their love.

[dragon1412]

well, technically Kamito's right arm is holding Est, with his left arm hugging Restia.

Yeah it's interesting, but it also suggests that Restia isn't fully gone - after all, if they haven't got any way to revive her, they would probably not be capable of restoring Kamito to his previous state.

[chaotix37]

Are we expecting another spirit sandwich? Or est will take now the advantage of Kamito. But its better when Kamito's harem find a way to restore his memories. I guess better yet they really have to check on Kamito's past to find out if there will be a solution to that.

[darkofficer]

i will be sad if it thanks to claire that kamito regains his memory

[SineMora]

I guess it will be Ellis who will help him regain his memory... ABOUT TIME!!! Just like what she says, she has been half a beat slower than the other girls... GO GET IT!!!

[Chris38]

I don't think that recovering Kamito's memory would be a good thing, unless with it, Restia is going to be recovered as well.

After all, if just the fact that Restia (apparently) killed herself to save Kamito resulted in him gaining amnesia, I think that recovering his memory and not recovering Restia at the same time, or at least finding someway to get her back, would do to Kamito's mental state.

Since, in my opinion, it would be quite likely that Kamito would develop some suicidal tendencies from being forced to live in a world without Restia (naturally with him, knowing who she is)

[dmaxzero]

For the type of story I doubt the memory wipe will last any more than the whole volume 12.

[Thuruk]

Yeah, I can't imagine it will last long. Nor the loss of Restia, unless she's really dead, which I don't hope...

[Fenrisulfr]

From the way the author worded it, both Kamito's memories and his sword spirit are sealed, I'm guessing once he releases Est he'll regain his memories or vice-versa but yeah it won't take long.

[All Fiction]

Hanpen's art for the girls really improved. Ellis' hair looks so much better in that cover compared to volume 3 cover.

I wish he would improve his weapon design, though

[Waxman]

Hm... This may be a silly question and far away from the actual discussion, but...
.
That cover mean that somehow Ellis (and in turn all the other girls) will be manipulated (likely by Solomon in the witch body) to be a new Dark Queen to awaken the Demon King powers and only then steal his body?

[Ophis]

A really great cover. But I still prefer the cover of vol 9.

I don't think so,Ellis' blck dress doesn't mean that she was made as a new Darkness Queen
