Tatenashi is a second year, so one year older than Ichika. The reason she's Student Council President is because she's a genius. I'll try to finish chapter 3 summary by Sunday, after that I might either do volume 4 or 5 since vol 1-3 have a big chance to be covered by the anime anyway(and there's already Chinese translation so there's a other person that can do summary for those volume)

Someone mentioned this from a topic in another board, something about the Lin Yin/Ichika duel. This entry at TV Tropes kind of bothers me.
Spoiler for TVTrope's version of the Lin Yin/Ichika duel:
Here was my belief from the images I saw in the LN Spoiler for My perspective of the whole battle in theory:
So which one was correct?

Usually see it posted on MyAnimeLists news forums for the weekly manga sales.
http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=281561 The only LNs I've seen to have multiple volumes in seling around 10k a week for 5-6 weeks are Bakemonogatari (best selling tv series since Eva), Durarara (20k avg per volume which is fantastic and a sequel is a matter of when not if), Bake Test (5k avg but sequel on the way...) and OreNo (20k avg and a sequel will be made for sure..) So yeah looks like a good chance of IS selling decently and getting a sequel anime, even if it's towards the low end like Bake Test it might be worth it since a small profit from anime + boost in LN and other media is makes a 2nd series an attractive proposition. for its backers. |

well, nice if it get second season, episode 3 is 3/4 into volume 1 so that makes 4 episodes per volume. 3 volumes novel would fit into 12 episodes then, and volume 4-6 for second season.
wouldnt it be more convenience if the summaries from kuroishinigami and zephyr replace to first post, or maybe into technology discussion thread? |

I think volume 4 would only be saved for DVD-extra OVAs or something.
Since end of v6 has a gigantic cliffhanger and it'd be wierd to end the season there...If a season 2 is ever made, it'd be covering volumes 5 to 7 (or 8 depending how they'll pace) |

Spoiler for Ichika and Rin's fight:
Well, between my bad choice of word in the fight summary, I suggest you wait for a week instead and watch the fight in the anime XD. I'll try to start writing volume 6 chapter 3 summary tomorrow XD |
