I've just read all the current volumes in one sitting and it I genuinely believe it to be the best light novel I've read and in the top 5 books I've ever read in general. But now I'm sat here like "I WANT TO KNOW THE ENDING GODDAMITT NOOOOO!!"

Soo yeah... anyone got any info about it? T_T

Keep an eye on the Hakomari thread (http://www.baka-tsuki.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=3161&start=810) to stay up-to-date. But no, the only thing we know is that he's working on it. According to one of Mikage's statements, he likes to work on Hakomari parallel to other projects because it's exhausting. (Which seems to be true, given that he has released 3 other LNs since V6 :O)

Ahh thanks for the reply man :) Really good job translating :) By the way could you help me out a bit here: I'm planning on buying the novels from the websites listed on the baka-tsuki page but baka tsuki seems to be down right now so could you possibly link me to the easiest site to buy it on please? =] If the site's back up by the time you see this then never mind I'll have already bought it!

There are a lot of online stores where you can buy them. Personally, honto.jp is my shop of choice, but if you prefer an English one:

- http://www.yesasia.com/ (base price is higher, but may not charge you for shipping)
- http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/ (let's you choose which type of delivery you want to use, I believe)
- Amazon (quick but expensive shipping)

If I rightly understood Mikage-sensei, he'll release 7th volume of HakoMari after the 2nd volume of 'Bokura wa Mahou Shoujo no Naka'...

Great news! I don't dare to read the 5th and 6th volumes because I heard the 6th ends with a cliffhanger which makes the waiting unbearable...

He said "release", not "going to start writing", lol =) I'm sure, he already know, how to end HakoMari, and even started, but it's technically hard to write this finale - btw, he said once something like that)

Keep in mind though that he hasn't really started working on it until recently, so it's actually a quite good pace.

That's almost 2 months ago.

Can we assume it's at 50% at least now?

The story becomes a masterpiece during the 5th and 6th volumes. There's a lot of tension too. And a lot of Daiya as well, which is awesome.

There is such thing as shit taste. Only idiots think that every "work of art" should have the same value.

Persona anime are good. Deal with it.

Finally, after all these years! When the 7th volume comes out, i guess i will read the whole novel from the very beginning, so i will understand more of it. I wonder how the story will end.

Or you know, re-read the whole series :3

It will be a while before it's released not to mention gets a decent translation, after all. I think a re-read is worth considering tbh.

Lol, I re read the entire series about 3 times, trying to make up for the 7th volume xD I envy you people who haven't read the 6th volume (although it was one of the best up till now)
