>What was he going to ask her? Just as she reached the divide between a desire to leave and a desire to stay, her mind focused on the half-dragon.
>“Do you have a little brother or a little sister!?”
>Masazumi saw Narumi’s mobile shell fall over as if its knees had given out.
>…Oh, that was a nice reaction. Was that so incomprehensible that even the mobile shell fell over?
The courtship begins. Weekend thread.
>>133799073
Uqui is great.
>>133799073
Fucking finally I was thinking Js06 was dead because we didn't get a thread for like 2 weeks.I know he's translating that shitty new volume of Index, what a fucking boring piece of shit
>>133800094
He finished translating it like a week ago.Also fuck you
>>133800094
He finished that volume two days ago.
Also, we had threads one wee ago.
https://desustorage.org/a/thread/133410115/
>>133800094
The wait made me appreciate this chapter much more though.
Just reading the classmate banter flipped some type of Kawakamin-sensitive dopamine switch in my brain.
>>133800518
*smiles bitterly*
*lowers eyebrows*
>>133800518
I love it.
>>133800518
I feel that most of the Kawakami infodumps are well integrated inside the story so they feel organic.
>>133800094
>Has someone like Js06 translating his favorite LN
>Complains
What a fucking piece of shit you are.
>>133800518
But they aren't villains. One of the things that Kawakami pulls off well is creating reasonable characters that just happen to be on the opposing side.
So Urquiaga is going to Date, I assume since I never read js06's summaries. Who would make sense to send to Sviet Rus and Mogami besides whoever they actually end up sending.
I finished Hong kong
Last 4-3 chapters was pretty good and I liked ending
Ongoing Osaka
I remebered of OnC and Horizon
Osaka will be best City?
>>133801137
>What is reading comprehension
Hello there ESL-kun, seems like you need to learn english because I never complain against Js06, just against Index you massive retard.
>>133802573
I have great hopes for Osaka given how similar it seems to Horizon, even though it's just mysteries upon mysteries thus far. I just hope the first volume isn't as boring as Hong Kong A.
>>133802573
I know someone around here didn't like Hong Kong, but I really did. It was the first City that felt like a pure Kawakami story and I really enjoyed that.
>>133802973
I enjoyed Hong Kong A. Tuning and Busting were fun and how the whole heaven plan was escalating was interesting.
>>133802737
You don't get what I mean. Js06 translates fast, well and updates regularly. And yet you are complaining about him translating Index because of a mere two weeks or less without updates
>>133804987
Aye, wating two weeks for translations is fucking nothing when you read stuff like Rakuin or Alderamin.
>>133805602
>Alderamin.
Why do you do this to me?;_;
Going to put this on a pair of custom headphones. The first set of engraved aluminium covers was free anyway and I though it looked nice enough to use, yet subtle enough to not appear like a total weeb.
>>133805723
Because suffering connects us.
>>133805935
Indeed.
>>133802973
>I just hope the first volume isn't as boring as Hong Kong A.
I wouldn't call them boring, but City's Part A volumes are mostly setup with the plot only really kicking in right at the end.
>>133807043
You got to read more of Horizon Girls Talk 2?
>>133802973
How is Osaka?
>>133799073
Best onee-san.
>>133800518
>Explains your powers
I love how Kimi and Noriki call on that but it ended happening even so.
>>133812594
Obviously there was a secret hidden twelfth Gear whose concept was "explaining your powers give them power".
Finally getting a good breadth into OnC, and while I like Sayama, I don't like him as much as an MC, since I feel that he does things too easily sometimes..
>surrounded by eight gun-toting maids
>suddenly becomes fucking neo
>nothing personnel, doll
>>133812810
That's a part of what it's fun about him. And later he gets into situations that gives him trouble.
>>133812594
In Noriki's case is even his catchphrase.
>“There’s no need to say it if you understand.”
>>133812810
It depends, the whole thing with Atsuta and Kashima in 2B wasn't easy for him either.
>>133802288
I would say Suzu has a good practice with it.
And maybe someone from the Special Duty Officers like Tenzou or Nate.
>>133800518
>Justified reason for anime trope
Any examples?
>>133804622
I enjoyed it too. More than part B, but the wait between the two books didn't help. I should have waited for both to get translated.
>>133815171
Yeah, maybe it didn't bothered me that much because I read both of them one after the other.
>>133815021
They talk while fighting because they can talk really fast with basic spells.
>>133815423
In Horizon? That's neat
Anything else?
>>133815928
There are many more, like the reason why the girls are so voluptuous because in that age is equated with healthiness and fertility.
>>133816218
What the hell, I read the novel from the start (currently reading the secret meeting at Magdeburg) and I never read anything like this.
>>133816281
It was mentioned in one of the boob charts from the anime. There are tons of information that isn't in the novel in the Encylopedia and the anime booklets.
Like what the P.A. in P.A. Oda means.
>>133810505
It has really only gotten started introducing characters, but it has a certain feel to it that makes it seem similar to Horizon. Maybe it's just the chancellor's officers and combat mikos though.
>>133816355
Thanks man, damn it I want to read it all
It would be incredible if there was a reason for all the high-leg skintight suits too
>>133817200
I would say that's probably UCAT and Edge Era influence.
>>133817268
We can just blame it on Ooshiro and call it a day.
>>133817803
That's probably the main reason yeah.
>>133817803
>>133817899
>you will never be so influential your fetishes reverberate through the eons and influence the fashion of people thousands of years into the future
Why even live?
>>133816966
So that's from where all of that cames out like how Hong Kong was the origin to the song trope? That's cool.
>>133819696
We have DT to thank for Horizon's Mice and sign frames. And elf girls, I guess.
>>133809113
Haven't gotten around to it yet.
>>133820125
Is she as cute as she seems?
>>133815021
In the first episode of S2, as Musashi successfully escapes Tres Espana and completely ruins Gin's day, it starts raining on her. The rain is caused by the condemsed vapour the Musashi leaves behind with its gravitational acceleration.
>>133820372
Yes. She even has a canon chibi form. (Of course, so does every DT character.)
>>133820667
Perfect.
She is supposed to correspond to any character in Horizon?
>>133820719
Not that I can tell.
Have someone full res. of this??
Where exactly do I start reading this? Should I start reading Owari? Or is this just purely untranslated stuff recently getting translated confusion I am having?
>>133821944
You can start with whichever you want the stories take place in the same universe but separated hundreds to thousands of years.
>>133821944
If you want a series that is completed then start with Owari.
If you're more interested in Horizon from the anime then it is best to start at the beginning of Horizon to get more info, or pick up at vol 3.
If you want to read Kawakami's works in order then start with CITY.
>>133821944
Owari is fully translated, Horizon's translation is at the fourth arc and the same goes for City Series.
You can start with any of them because even if they are in the same universe they are standalone. If only, some stuff in City and Owari relate to stuff in Horizon so it could help to get parts of the setting better, but you can go the order you want.
>>133799437
You just can't be a spanish half-dragon and not being brash.
>>133822704
>>133822809
>>133822991
Thanks, I think I'll start with City and hold off others for later.
>>133823887
You can read whatever order you want but I'd advise against that. City doesn't exactly have a straight forward story like the other two.
>>133821317
Not scanned sadly.

Nice
Hopefully CBT of Tree of Savior will end on December 9 and I will have much of time for reading Index, Object, Hexenacht, Rokka 4 and Chaika 8 (russian translated one)
I have a bodysuit fetish, should I go with the LNs or the anime and will I regret it?
>>133830704
Both
and no
>>133799073
Amputee onee-sans are the best!

>>133830704
>body suit fetish
>regretting the anime
Not likely.
>>133830704
Are you fucking serious?
It's like they are wearing nothing the whole time (well, Tori actually wears nothing most of the time...)
Go for it, you will love it.
>>133823887
>>133825791
Yeah, CITY is also pretty dated. It'd be hard to enjoy for someone who doesn't like cheesy 90s shit.
I'd start with Owari no Chronicle honestly.
>>133835961
I think it's less 90s dated once it goes on. I would only said that of Panzerpolis 1937 actually.
Does anyone remember around which volume Satoyasu changed their style? I'm not talking about them improving. I remember in one volume the style they did was completely different from the last volume.
>>133837669
He changed his style a bunch of times I think.
>>133823887
>>133835961
If City is "cheesy 90s shit" then Horizon is exactly the same, because right now City feels really similar to Horizon.
>>133838485
I never said it was a bad thing.
DT seems fun.
>>133821161
Any plans for translation of Image City SF or Zenon City Tokyo?
>>133839998
I would say that the worse part would be editing it.
>>133840083
It's very bad?
>>133840118
Well, all of SF is like this.
>>133840198
Well, its gonna be hard, indeed.
>>133840198
Looks fun
>>133840198
Kawakami really has a thing for cute blonde angel girls.
>>133840518
Of course.
>>133840595
Akira was cute.
>>133828239
So here it's said directly that the 1st Special Duty Officer is supposed to be fast. In Horizon is only implied as far I remember.
So wait, Margot literally raped naruze in middle shool?
Haha what the fuck
js06, still there? What's the status on Hayate, are you still translating even though RHS is dead?
>>133842090
Yes, that's lesbian angel love for you.
>>133840198
Is there any link to download the full volume?
>>133840518
He has a thing for cute blonde girls in general.
>>133842245
http://www.mediafire.com/download/ezokp46wkkvk8mi/CITY_series_v02.zip
>>133837464
I meant 1935.
>>133842397
Thank you, /a/non.
>>133842094
Yes: >>133841827
>>133839998
Of course. But SF has enough references to Paris that I want to have at least translated that far before starting on it.
We seriously need better scans for City.
>>133843377
There are also Hong Kong references right?
>>133843437
Yes, the main girl is originally from HK and visits home at one point.
>>133843405
Panzerpolis 1937-1942 looks really cool. I suppose that being five volumes males it the City with bigger plot.
>>133843405
Will they do digital release ?
>>133843589
>males
makes
>>133843576
Cool, it's nice to see the General again.
>>133843613
They should do the whole Dengeki catalogue, shouldn't they? But they're just getting started, so it'll take a while.
Wait, so this guy is J-Gun and Gunmal ancestor?
>>133843576
>Red Pepper Restaulant
You had one job, Satoyasu.
>>133843589
It's definitely my favorite of the City stories.
>>133844058
He's from the Maldrick family, but since his older brother is the head of the family, he's probably their great uncle or something.
>>133844241
Either he or Kawakami can't spell Arizona either.
>>133844241
It's a chinese pronunciation joke you silly anon.
>>133844355
The whole concept of Kawakami + WWII is too good.
Question guys, is Hexennacht a novel series or a manga series? I remember originally there was a manga chapter or two and a non-manga prologue, but then the first novel came out. I'm assuming the novels will be the primary material and the manga (if it's still running) will just be an adaptation of it, but it can't hurt to have things cleared up.
>>133842090
>How can you say you love her when you can't even rape her
>>133843961
They're adding a whole series each month, who knows when Kawakami will get his turn.
December is SAO.
>>133844923
Check the afterword of the novel.
>>133844923
Both.
>>133843405
I wonder if the scans were decent in the beginning, before some dipshit decided to make a compilation archive compressed to hell and back which ended up becoming the only source available.
>>133845994
Dengeki seems to love neglecting Kawakami's stuff, so it could be a while.
Is KyouHara good to start with? I'm planning on getting into the series but I heard there are a couple novels which takes place on the same universe.
>>133849702
Oh, thanks.
>>133849588
>>133849843
You can start with Horizon just fine, the stories are in the same universe but separated by thousands of years.
>>133849588
While I agree with most of anons about reading this in the order you want, you need to keep in mid the order of the story, so I suggest you to read this in this order.
1) Forth (you can't read it and probably the only guy who read that is Js06).
2) Owari no Chronicle, this is the start of everything in Kawakami's world, read this first, also is fully translated.
3) Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon, for obvious reasons, is the following story of OnC.
4) Hexennacht - OBSTACLE
5) CITY Series, since is the end of Kawakami's world
If you read this in a different order you're going to get a mayor confusion about the buckets on information here.
>>133850395
CITY is standalone enough that you don't need to read it after the others. It was written first, after all.
>>133850395
What's the series Forth about?
I've found a page for the series on Light Novel Database but that didn't have a summary.
>>133851265
To know that we need to summon Js06 but I think he's MIA right now.
Ever since the City World came to be, many different worlds have existed and been destroyed. However, it has been mostly proven what kind of world it was based on.
That world is tentatively known as the Foundation World.
As the name suggests, the Foundation World acted as the foundation of the current world and it is thought to have had a similar flow of history. The Foundation World is broadly divided into four eras:
-Forth
-Ahead
-Edge
-Genesis
These four eras are connected, but the Foundation World was destroyed at the end of the Genesis World.
After the Foundation World’s destruction, the world was experimentally recreated and destroyed again and again in search of a world that would not be destroyed.
This significant wandering era was a great obstacle to the world, so it is known as:
-Obstacle
During this great obstacle era, either the world got tired of being destroyed or there was some other reason because a world made not to be destroyed was finally created.
And that is the City World that we live in.
It is known as:
-City
Now, let us look briefly over those six worlds.
2. Forth
The pre-hope era.
This was the calmest era of the Foundation World. There were plenty of wars, but it was peaceful on the macro level and the only crises were on a regional scale.
It had little individuality, but it was likely an era focused on personal points of view.
>>133851265
>What's the series Forth about?
Literally some guy playing shmups.
>>133851561
I'm actually interested.
>Hexennacht
I thought it was manga somehow.
Anyway is that good?
>>133853484
Mahou shoujos everywhere, it's good
>>133853350
It looks like it's full of classic Kawakami autism.
>>133853484
It's a manga and a LN.
Kawakami says the LN is an adaption but most people seem to prefer it to the manga.
>>133853772
Fuck yes
How's the MC?
>>133853990
She's great so far.
Does this?
>>133854038
>She
Thank you based Kawakami
Hopefully it'll be as long as horizon/OnC
>>133854116
look better than this?
>>133850395
>chronological
Having read both Horizon and Onc I can say you don't need to do this. The end of OnC explains how Horizon's world could come to exist but it's like saying a physics textbook can be used to explain politics.
>>133854116
I prefer this one
>>133853350
If anyone can make it interesting, Kawakami can.
>>133854138
I have a fetish for women in suits, and she satisfies that extremely well.
>>133855711
>suit
Is she female Sayama?
>>133854521
I made a sound version also
https://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1448222398338.webm
>>133855711
Holy shit yes
Is Kawakami writing both that and Horizon at the same time or is he taking a break
>>133856051
>is he taking a break
>Kawakami
>taking a break
>>133856051
Same time.
Hexennacht is being serialized in a magazine before it basically gets a tank release.
Magazine is bi-monthly and there were 4 chapters needed for one book which came out 2 months after (chapter break in the magazine).
Basically, one book every 10 months.
>>133856051
He is writing Horizon, Horizon Side Stories and Hexen at the same time.
>>133855900
Thanks, I miss her.
Why are automatons so amazing in general?Too bad they can't fuck, this suffering
Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but is there a pdf of the Hexennacht vol 1 translation?
>>133856655
Not yet
>>133856655
There is some side material at the end that is still untranslated.
>>133856562
I wouldn't be so sure of that.
>>133858230
Well they're robots without even any emotions, why would they have what's needed for it?
Even them being super cute with big tits is far fetched
>>133858723
Not all of then are emotionless. There are ones with human souls. Horizon is a special case because she was very automaton-like from the very start and she lacks emotions.
>>133858723
Automatons live to "serve".
Think about it.
>>133858848
Oh yeah, like Noriki's waifu? I sure hope for him she has what it takes
>>133858860
Welp
>>133858723
>>133858848
>>133858939
Not only that, but automatons that have been active for a long time learn how to understand and simulate emotions, like Musashi and Kazuno.
>>133859006
Kazuno had a soul though. But it's also true that Musashi indeed has emotions even if she is a souless model.
>>133844355
There was something about Noriki and Ujinao in the last two arcs?
>>133860727
End of v6
>>133853969
Manga art is pretty bad, if you ask me. Still, I prefer pics to walls of text.
Seriously, what goes on in Kawakami's head all the time? How can he write the most ridiculous shit and still be good?
Is a genius that will be talked about in the centuries to come?
>>133861031
That's the start of v7 actually, I was asking if there was something more about the after that.
>>133861252
He likes to take attention to details and thought about all of this since he was in high school.
He also never gets one hundred percent serious with what he writes and likes to have fun.
And sadly no, Kawakami stories aren't something that can be enjoyed by a mainstream audience I think. They need a bit on your part, but I think that's what it makes then so engrossing to some people too.
>>133862254
Yeah, I quite agree. Even with what he writes, he doesn't come across as pretentious and is obviously having fun writing what he writes with the practice he got during the last 20 years. And if you get into it you can help but to feel the same.
>>133855889
Kinda.
>>133855889
Pretty close. Enough that if you liked Sayama as the MC you'll almost certainly like Kagami.
>>133864341
Is she as perverted as him?
OnC Vol 7 EPUB is still on the way?
>>133865133
Not so far, no. She hasn't really been given the opportunity to try yet though.
>>133865255
We've had it for a while. Check the baka-tsuki page more often.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/azog9972ey16zvs/OnC_7.epub
>>133865346
I'm waiting to Christmas to read it for maximum effect.
>>133865346
>its not in my mediafire
You had one job.
>>133860727
Ujinao had apparently moved in with him a while back, but he hadn't bothered telling anyone until Vol. 8.
>>133858860
You joke, but Paris provides a history of automatons which says the City era origin for automatons being beautiful and female dates back to the prostitute automatons developed in Persia during (the City era's version of ) the 11th century.
>>133866130
So Ujinao is in Musashi? She is still a student or after her name inheritance history ended she is just a civilian now?
>>133866130
And another case of >>133800518 "Justified reason for anime trope" was born.
>>133866130
>prostitute automatons are the origin of automatons being female
They have their priorities right
>>133866566
Just think, we are nearly entering these times.
>>133865954
>its not in my mediafire
Isn't that your fault?
>>133866895
Bitches mediafire is kind of a staple of this threads and everyone can upload things on it I think.
>>133867145
I didn't know you could do that on mediafire.
>>133861053
The manga art is good for action and mechs but subpar in character designs.
I like this thread, it would be nice if it survives the euronight again.
>>133866130
>>133866566
Well, something similar could be said about 3rd Gear's automatons in the original world too.
So reading Hong Kong, why exactly Double Lee killed J-Gun?
Just took a peek at Girls Talk 2's afterword and Kawakami says Hexennacht 2 will most likely be released before Horizon 9.
>>133870090
How is he going to do that? Did he get more pages in the magazine? Or a hint towards EDGE.
>>133872000
Horizon 9 might not be until later in 2016.
