Kawakami Thread (Horizon, OnC, City Series, Hexennacht...)

9-B announced to be published on June 10th.

Could someone identify the character on the cover?

There's a bigger version on their twitter.
No clue if they made a mistake or something, but it never happened so far, and the other novels don't have it. I'm grateful, though.

I think there's only speculation so far as for who she really is.

New chapter since the last thread:
baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Horizon:Volume_4B_Chapter_49

She looks a lot like Best Spearman but her uniform and facial expression don't match at all.

OP Europoors and fans are all asleep, the thread is gonna die soon.

Looks like a Futayo clone.

More like *past* Horizon.

Are there versions of the other covers without the text?

This is somewhat embarrassing, but I managed to fuck up the resolution for the single page illustrations of Hexennacht's second volume since Dengeki increased it from x1600 to x2048.
I made an illustration only folder on my raw dump with the fixed versions; I'll update the whole novel archive(s) at some other point. Sorry about that.

This also applies to BooBoo and Valhalla Dinner if anyone's interested in these.

Only for 9-A, but not that big.
Otherwise, just the usual thumbnail sized ones (x278).

>Otherwise, just the usual thumbnail sized ones (x278)
I see, thanks.

here. On a second thought she actually does look a lot like a teen version of "human" Hozion with her hair in a ponytail.

After having read about half of the first volume I really want a Hexennacht anime.

Also, I forgot to mention.

There's no Hexennacht in the current issue of the magazine (again).
I hope Kawakami will say what's going on in the afterword of 9-B.

Oh dem halftones.

The magazine does manga, right?
Novellization is its own thing?

Both.
Dengeki Daioh is the manga magazine.
Dengeki Bunko Magazine is the novel magazine.

Schedule for the novel is like this:
Issue 41-44 was volume one.
45 break and volume one tank release.
46-47 was volume two.
48 break and volume two tank release.
But now we had nothing at all in issue 49-50.

Manga is still ongoing and having chapters in its magazine, so I guess third tank soon.

Do they print out the whole of novellizations usually?
And most importantly, do we know anything about Hex LN/manga sales? Did it hit any tops?

Yes, these are the tank releases I mentioned when there's no chapter in the magazine.

I only remember first week sales being around 10k for both novels.
No clue about its current total sales or the manga.

>Anything from kawakami
>Anime again

Please don't do this to yourself.

I'm betting it's Hashiba or Horizon and Hashiba fused together.

I meant printing the whole LN run in magazine, not just first/second volume like you`d do for advertising a standalone release.

>Not Top gea vs Low gear al over again
>Not remembering that they always mention the LEVIATHAN

One job.

I'm not really sure I follow, but aren't they doing that by printing them in separate volumes?
Just like it usually works with manga.

If you meant something else, no clue.

Just compare hairstyles in
and .

Oh, come on. We`ll get our LEVIATHAN.

...

I meant maybe one or two LN volumes in the magazine is the limit, and then just switch to releasing full standalone volumes. They launch a couple of series` every now and then, magazine would just get too big if they kept adding stuff in without taking something out.

Exactly.

Will tenth arc be final?

Ah, now I get it. I don't really know.
But I think Heavy Object, as an example, has been in the magazine all the time and it's at over 10 volumes already.
Well, if a Hexennacht volume for August (I guess this is pretty damn close to its release schedule) suddenly pops up, we'll know.

Not really a surprise, considering how much Kamachi is driving their sales overall.

We`ll see in August then.

I don't get what your point was. Top vs Low is exactly why that's probably Hashiba.

Kamachi just writes to make money to be honest, NT is pretty much a trainwreck full of shit and only HO is still keeping the consistency of the story.

I think it's completely human Horizon, no?
If I remember it right, her hair as a child had the same color in the anime.

Anime isn't really a good reference for that. Asama, Futayo, Suzu for example are all supposed to have black hair.

My guess is it's the princess.

Seems rather dark here.
Eyecolor fits, though.

Js06's Pastebin on 9-A says Hashiba looks like horizon in middle school graduation age with black hair so it might be her

It`s fucking OnC all over again.
And I`m loving it.

>Gold threads everywhere
What if that's Toori crossdressing?

His best troll yet, then.

Or matching outfits since it's cute.

Otani Yoshitsugu is best cosplay.

>We`ll see in August then.
Or in 9 days since they will update the website with their August releases once this months batch is out.

The longer I look at it the more I want to just print a poster or canvas and put it up somewhere. I love the artstyle of the covers.

Satoyasu not putting out an artbook is a crime in itself.

Wonder if he draws porn for Kawakami's personal use.

What if Sataoyasu is Kawakami? Didn't we have this theory many years ago?

Or he's waiting until it reaches encyclopedia level so they can mad men instead of mad man.

You mean July releases.

These are already known.
They always release next month with thumbnail images of the covers and the month after in text only.

With the time two were working together(which itself is quite rare in LN world, I believe), there must be material for more than one tome. Imagine all the iterations on OnC alone, all the rejected variants and Satoyasu`s general evolution as an artist through time with glorious halftones.

Bastard is an autistic madman in his own right.

There is no way in world Kawakami would be able to contain it and not sperg out all over twitter.
Man rejoices with every new doujin.

The halftones are indeed mad, and they're getting madder and madder.

Did anyone made some kind of character chart, with pics etc, for Horizon?
I often forget what some character looks like and sometimes they only get a design later

There was a half-joke 8bit attempt around vol 5 or so. It was humongous.

I think we managed to recognize about 70% back then.

They're in the novels.
I don't think there's a fan made one with all characters.

Ah, here it is.

Every time I go to my archive folder I take a horrible nostalgia hit.

I remember seeing a fanmade chart that had all the characters up to part 2 or 3. There's also pic related.
1/3

If only they would be color pages at least.

This actually work well.
Thanks

Nice

3/3

I did those ones, but I never finished them.

>this is your Shakespeare
>this is your Shakespeare on autism, contra-schizophrenia drugs and sex change

Why doesn`t more anime go this route, I wonder.

Thanks guys, this is fantastic

If I recall, the Leviathan was mentioned as representing the Deadly Sins in volume 2 of the manga.

Chain accesories looks like Toori's

And Horizon has, as we know, the 9th Deadly Sin Armament as her OS: Ólos Phtonos, which is Envy.

Leviathan is the demon of envy, that's the joke.

I absolutely love that she and Neshinbara keep in touch.

Neshinbara probably wouldn`t characterize constant IRC stalking as keeping in touch.

Hopefully something like this ever happens to anything Kawakami.
It will be hard on the wallet, but who cares.

Official releases are awfully slow and hardly better in any tangible way than Js06`s translations.

That's no official English release, though.
There are simply all novels digitally in a pack.

They could easily do this for AHEAD or CITY.

Is there an explanation for Kawakami shrine maidens being archers?

Doesn't that go for all shrine maidens?
That's got something to do with Japanese mythology, I think.

wait 9a scan is out?

Normal shrine maidens are archers?

I worded that wrongly.
I'm not saying they're archers, but having a bow is part of tradition or mythology. At least I remember something like this vaguely.

I think an user just scanned a couple illustrations and posted them. That was one of them.

Pretty sure that's Ivan's WIP.

The shrine maiden from Inuyasha was an archer too.

Those things in the sides are deadly sin armaments right?

>decide to start reading from where the anime left off
>reach 3C
>mfw

>Those things in the sides are deadly sin armaments right?
They're probably the similar weapons (possibly an alternate set) that Hashiba has.

Do those have a name or anything?

You could wash clothes on her belly.

Not yet. What they are will probably be revealed in 9-B.

The same can be said about her chest.

Don't bully the Adele.

>They're probably the similar weapons (possibly an alternate set) that Hashiba has.
I only recently caught up to the translations in bakatsuki and never checked any spoilers

Man, it's just too easy.

When's it usually up for pre-order on amazon?

I think about a week before release.

That and the preview usually go up a week before it comes out so in about 12 hours.

Thanks.

...

I'm looking forward to finally seeing the double Honda combo in in action.

...

It's already up on CDJapan.
Damn you Amazon and Dengeki, I just want to see the preview before I go.

The 10th is a Friday.
I'm probably going out drinking with some fellow teachers on the 10th. I usually leave earlier though so I will try to pick up 9B on the way home and take a few photos at the least.

Godspeed.

Please tell me you aren't an English teacher.

But that would be lying.

You don't want me to lie to you, do you?

Pls no bully
