  This will probably be my final response to the series as a whole, but there is no doubt in my mind that this is something that I'll definitely go back to now and again because of just how big of an impact this series had on me. I've been following the series since 2013 and it's one of my top recs when it comes to anime, manga and light novels. I don't think I will ever not gush about this series and how compelling its plot and characters have been for me and I can go on and on especially about Himeko (best girl!) and Iori. The last lines of this novel: "with all my love and gratitude... from the very bottom of my heart... thank you" is such a good way to cap off the series about how important connections are between very good friends, not to mention that it really shows the growth of the cast as a whole. To finally see this series to its proper conclusion when a lot of us Kokoro Connect fans had largely thought that this was a series that was both doomed to fail and also doomed to never get a proper licensing - most likely due to the whole controversy surrounding the anime fiasco, which, honestly, my heart goes out to the author as they did not deserve to have their series, which holds so much love and heart be surrounded by this - is honestly a treat and a delight that brings tears to my eyes when I got the chance to read every last word. And it's with this that I say thank you. Thank you to J Novel Club for licensing this series that means so much to me. Thank you to Molly Lee, the wonderful translator that has worked on the light novel to the bitter end! Thank you to the editors and the rest of the staff that have worked on this, we certainly wouldn't be here without any of you! While the story of the pentagon in the CRC may be finished, the memories of their bonds will always linger in our hearts, and I'm hoping that the future is bright, not only for these characters, but for Sadanatsu-sensei. I'm really hoping that we get another localization of his works - please, J Novel, I pray for a license of Aoi Haru no Subete - and see what he can do in the future. This is not a farewell, but a 'see you again, sometime soon'.

  Vol 1 part 8 9% "This is what the cavalry must have felt like when waiting for the enemy troops to attack." I suspect that the meaning of this sentence is backwards. In the scene Ash plants a spear against a charging bear. This mirrors the common tactic of spear infantry planting their spears against charging cavalry. That is why I am assuming that the quoted text should be something like "This is what troops (or infantry) must have felt like when waiting for the enemy cavalry to attack"

  @xdrfiredogx Eh. I left off somewhere in volume 3 and I'm not in a real rush to catch-up. Might just end up grabbing the ebooks later on.

  @KBaggy Yep. My impression is that she'll have some other occupation as her main job and will chip in now and then if the others aren't available. Much like the same way, Dr.Watson was a doctor and just assisted Holmes in his investigation but had his main occupation as a doctor and treated patients.

  @Jon-Mitchell Either way, since it's a modifier to duo, it should have a hyphen instead of an underline. :) The italics work for showing it as a title, though. Journey to the West-duo

  @Paul-Nebeling said in Outbreak Company Vol. 15 Discussion: but her name hasn't come up, so there must be a third factor. native Japanese language speaker - Petralka's Japanese is good but but a language recognition program would detect the difference

  I knew already that Mitsuki would play a part in the ex-High Priest downfall, but was surprised by Sygn involvement, and in a good way. It's nice to get surprised like this eventually. Rifa joining the harem was already something invitable, since Yuuto wanted the authority provided my the marriege would facilitate his efforts in the preparation for the incoming catastrophe. What I'm curious is if at some point he will hear of the prophecy related to him, since it likely predict this incoming catastrophe. The battle against Nobunaga certainly will be interesting, given he will face someone using technology that, for all intents and purposes, is supirior to his. I look forward for how he will puul it off. spoiler

  Really enjoyed this one. I watched the anime like a dozen or so times, so its interesting to finally see the source material and spot the differences. I'm also surprised just fast it moves. Are all the volumes this ort I wonder? Truly alight novel.

  I’m not actually sure that, in the author’s mind, Chelsea is fully mentally healed yet. When I first read parts 2/3, it did distress me somewhat that I thought the story seemed to be going the “magic fixes everything” route, but as the story progressed and I started ticking off milestones: by the end of volume 1, Chelsea has smiled, displayed interest, excitement, pleasure, and initiative, but has she ever laughed? I don’t think she has, even once, in the story so far. Maybe she did and I missed it, but I started looking for it specifically not long after reading the part where she smiles for the first time. I can’t recall her crying yet, either, happy or sad. There are one or more illustrations that show a few tears, but the text doesn’t mention her having a really good cry yet that I can recall. Just getting to share those powerful “firsts” with Chelsea, assuming the author gives them the treatment they are due (oh how I hope so), is enough to leave me desperate to see more volumes.

  Love the textless cover. I think it's the best cover so far with the colors, though Marielle's smile in vol 5 gives it a run for its money. Rereading as usual everytime the ebook is out, and once again something I noticed anew raised my curiosity about Marielle's brother, specifically what work he's doing in the palace.... Is "Is everyone in House Clarac raised to be a covert operative?" something you'd say with just one Marielle as example? Hoping to have more Gerard in the future. Maybe after married, Marielle & Simeon would play matchmaker for their single friends & relatives. Severin & Julienne for one, but we also have Gerard, Adrien, maybe even Alain.

  @HarmlessDave said in Black Summoner Vol. 2 Discussion: Elfi is very I always want to put her name as this too because she's an elf, so it works perfectly, but then have to correct myself later to Elif. Which means I change it to something else that's wrong, because it should be Efil, lol.

  I, too, noticed that JNC version is somewhat milder during certain scenes compared to fantranslation (for example, Katou resque), but stuff like that is much more likely to be edits made during WN->LN conversion or fanTL error (let's be honest, it was barely readable in the first place) than JNC intentionally changing scenes. Thankfully, times when LNs were rewritten to suit western audience are (mostly) well in the past.
