====== btw, here's the post that appeared at the top of the latest spoiler thread on 2ch (by 2ch standards, that means it's the most trusted info at present, but do keep in mind that it's still the first day of spoilers, so it might be off/completely fake etc...though they've burnt through about 2000 posts already discussing it...). I don't have time to translate it myself, but if anyone else wants to, please do. Spoiler for sorry, Japanese only:
The important points: Spoiler for a basic summary:

So basically we're back where we started... that's kinda disappointing. I'm real curious about the reason for their break up. The author seems to like to troll, the end of Vol 7 could have been a very drastic shift in the story, but instead was played off.

From what I've been able to gather, it is more complicated than a "break up"... more like she's put things on "hold" til he works things out with Kirino. But yeah.... the author does seem to get a kick out of torturing the readers.

All right, unless this turns out to be false, this will be the last post from me (for the time being). To anyone willing to spend time translating: yoroshiku onegaishimasu!
Spoiler for more complete Japanese summary from 2ch:
I'll just say that it's an interesting development...one that really does suggest that Fushimi-sensei won't go beyond 10 volumes. Also, I love KN more than ever, and kind of want to whack Kyousuke...but well, it was to be expected.

I'll take a stab at that. Thanks for the copypaste, much appreciated. If I have misunderstood anything (I probably have) please let me know. Spoiler:
Dammit Kyousuke, why'd you have to stop being cool elder brother? What happened D: And I thought the author said he didn't want this to turn into a romantic comedy? |

====== heh...and another one, originally from 2ch, but posted at another English forum. Again, don't know how accurate they are (NB: I do think they are mostly fake), but SOME things seem to fit with the other spoilers: Spoiler for length:
==== Another thing that people might find interesting is a comment by Fushimi-sensei's editor, Miki-san, which can probably be interpreted in so many different ways depending on which girl you barrack for...: Spoiler for just in case:

The reactions were kinda expected, although some of them exagerated. Sure Kuroneko's popularity has spiked in the past months (the anime definitely had a lot to do) and now this. I'm sure it wasn't in the author's original plans to let her become this popular (even though he is cashing on it; spin-off manga??)
The reason I started reading this novel was because of Kirino, and I still believe that Fushimi's true intention was to go for her, the name of the novel says it all. I know that many fans have changed sides after 7 volumes and the anime, but to me it was clearly all about Kirino from the begining, and I hope it continues that way (as long as some of the spoilers and what has been said are true). Anyway it seems that this volume will have some essential development but not enough to make clear who the winner will be. If the 10th volume will be the last then he'd better move overseas or hire security as soon as pages of volume 9 are leaked, I'm getting worried about the Kuroneko fans .
