@terrence said in Hibana (火花, Spark): The ending to PunPun was actually pretty good in terms of not explicitly stating what you're supposed to get out of it (or maybe I missed it). Actually, all Asano Inio works end this way, it's an end muddled with both hope to move forward and pessimism of the atmosphere. I kinda feel like stories, usually, end with what he uses for the chapter before last.

This sounds dumb as hell and like a real riot. So, right up my alley. spoiler

Yep, seems interesting indeed.

The anime was fantastic, probably the best comedy I've seen, but 13 vol seem a little too long for that kind of serie. Nonetheless, i would love too try the LN.

Hyped for the OVA so bumping this thread. Would be an insta buy for me as I love this series. Remember guys, anime is trash and so am I!

I liked the anime and manga so getting to read the LN would be awesome.

Volume 10 is coming out next week on Friday. I've updated the volumes count in the first post and here's a little bump, too 😉

I thought that was this one: The Evil Organization’s Recruitment Ad https://bookwalker.jp/dec7877c01-29ee-4d3a-8ad8-469952c2b3c8/?acode=WpfPW3yk We could definitely use some evil organizations either way. =P

These faces on the manga cover art look bad to me. Your mileage may vary?

Volume 6 is coming out 25 January 2019: http://blog.over-lap.co.jp/shoei1901/

...seriously?

i caved and read the fan translation of Vol 1 and all i can say is, THIS IS GOOD! absolutely enjoyable enough that id rank it close to Bakarina level fun (and not just cause of the Otome Game setting)

It's a pretty good heartwarming story. Main character makes friends with all the right people. Made me laugh with events like the king of the country they are summoned to excluded the main character out of his party and ended up angering two of the demon kings as a result.

The LN only consist of four volume which I assume it won't dragged like the WN, that is why I request this one. Well, I also recommend to read until volume two from the WN, the rest is only additional chapter in my opinion.

I can post while reading now with my new phone setup, so gonna post some notes and observations as I go. I'm on part 5 of this volume 6. The story to this point: spoiler So we're onto this chapter where Fujiko and the robot gal with the green hair are having a conversation about Dorans, and that was where I left off. Time to jump back in! Edit: I'm onto part 6. Took a look at the black and white inserts... Hooboy this chapter has a lot for romance fans I guess? x) Sounds like this Keina Dorans might not be long for his world after all since it sounds like she'll be fulfilling a role. Maybe her memories will get absorbed back into Sauga though. I took a peek at the Afterward and the writer does say this is a cool down chapter indeed. Edit 2: Finished. It was nice to see the girls working together again at the end to help Akuto through the story. Though, I guess none of them remember Dorans. Sounds like we'll be entering a game space soonish.

Got my vote. I love BakaTest. ' v ' b
