Log Horizon (novel)
Log Horizon (ログ・ホライズン) is a novel by author Mamare Touno.
The story revolves around 30,000 Japanese players who find themselves in a world mirroring the MMORPG (Masively Multipler Online Role Playing Game) "Elder Tale" they were playing, stuck in the bodies of their own character. Shiroe is an Enchanter, a mage who specialize in supportive roles. He and his friends seek to survive in a familiar, yet unfamiliar world of Seldecia. The novel is published on the web first, and on book format afterwards. There are six novels out, with the seventh still in web serialization. Although the novel is considered light novel by many, technically due to the page count and its format, it's considered a "novel". Anime adaptation started airing on 10/05. The thread can be found here. Web manga adaptation is currently serialized in Famitsu Comic Clear, with one volume out in publication. Also a spin-off manga Log Horizon - Nishikaze no Ryodan (ログ・ホライズン 〜西風の旅団〜) is currently serialized in digital manga magazine Age Premium, featuring stories of Soujirou Seta and his <s>harem</s> guild <Seifuu no Ryodan> (The West Wind Brigade).

I'll leave the explaining work to aohige then, since he can read Nihongo and has gone to where I've yet to explore (I have to rely on the Chinese version from Kadokawa Taiwan) =3
Btw, there're actually three spin-offs in addition to the main manga adaptation:
And of course, "Nishikaze no Ryodan" (ログ・ホライズン ~西風の旅団~) =3

Actually do you know for a fact it's "nishikaze" and not "seifuu"?
I assumed the latter, as I figured he took the name from the brigade (of same name) in Eiyuu Densetsu series which read the same. (considering the guild leader directly takes his name from Seto Soujirou from Rurouni Kenshin, and even mimics his look lol) I wonder if this is cleared up on the manga, I haven't received it yet EDIT: Ah, read the demo 1st chapter on the web, it's Nishikaze. It should also be noted, that there's a lot of fanfics, doujins, and characters that were made by fans of Log Horizon, but later incorporated into canon by the author. She seems to adapt a semi-"shared world" approach to the series.

Could you check if it's Seldecia or Thaldesia/Theldesia btw? I think I saw Thaldesia somewhere, presumably in the main manga, but now I'm not sure if it's really the case (it might be just me hallucinating stuff >_>)

"Theldesia" is possible, but "Thaldesia" doesn't fit the pronunciation for セルデシア
Which doesn't mean impossible, of course, but I haven't seen it romanized anywhere. Maybe it'll come up visually somewhere. As for shinsengumi theme, it's actually taken. Lol. Spoiler:

Now questions. Who are the debauchery tea party and who are the members beside Naotsugu, Shiroe and Soujirou. The guild masters. Why do they gather? is it the territory problem? Its been said in the anime thread that its more on politics so I can see it be a territory problem. The guild master shows up in vol 2. If they are guild master then why is Shiroe with them? Is the problem on how the heck they got stuck in the game been tackled in the novel? and after looking at the novel. I can say that its indeed that its not a harem story because they all had their own pair. Well except for Soujirou >_> Information on the guild masters and their territory. Upcoming events to come.

The party of Shiroe is compose of 8 people. Marielle is a guild master so she has her own guild to take care of but Shiroe and Marielle are friends so they usually met with the guild. Plus it looks like Marielle treats Shiroe as a little brother and call him Shiro-bou. I would to ask for names and character info. That would probably help a lot on who is who. And what does otp mean?
