I counted a total of 66 chapters, including prologues and epilogues.

As I understand, prologues & epilogues doesn't count.

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.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. In Fate/Zero, both the prologue and epilogue apparently made the chapter counts on MAL. There're 16 Acts, which I assume counted as regular chapters. If you only count those, then there should be 16 chapters, not 18 (as shown on MAL). The only logical explanation would be that the prologue and epilogue were treated as separate chapters, and hence brought the total count to 18. Of course, I cannot be 100% certain on this, but until proven otherwise, I'll adhere to my assumption.

1st, I suppose it depends of author and/or publisher. 2nd, as all information on MAL added manually, there are errors & late updates here and there. So, nothing unusual if here it counts one way and there it counts another way. Anyway, I don't see a big problem here, in the end it's all up to you, you can update your chapters whatever you like. If someone will be interested, he/she asks you, where exactly you now. 0therwise it doesn't matter.

it amazes me how far stupid fanboys of other series can go just because Hakomari surpassed their favorite manga in rankings...

the score drops from 9.03 all the way down to 8.89 just because some bitter fanboys can't accept the truth...

Yep, just saw that. This is beyond childish and stupid.

Hopefully a mod will somehow take care of this, because those are obviously alts created for the single purpose of being an annoying fanboy.

Has anyone reported this yet?

EDIT: Never mind, someone already reported those accounts.

I didn't even finished the 1st volume and I'm already engrossed. This novel is really something else. How come it's so unpopular? Is it because there's no manga or anime adaptation?

I just started reading this recently, currently on the 4th volume. I ran out of stuff to read so I decided to give the highest rated novel on this site a shot. I gotta say, it's a big pile of meh. It feels like the writer is really trying to make the characters sound clever but it just ain't working for me.

The fact that so many crappy LNs got an adaptation while this masterpiece is left behind boggles my mind.

Rejecting Classroom arc alone will surpass almost every anime adaptation i've watched in the past few years.

I actually don't think it's a good idea to animate this novel no matter how much of a masterpiece it is. I don't think any studio is going to be able to animate Rejecting Classroom properly with all those time-loop jumps. maybe SHAFT, but either way this would be way to hard to animate properly in my opinion.

IMO time-loops in Hakomari are, more or less, similar to Steins;Gate. Maybe certain loops that only have random thoughts or scenes inside could be presented ala Monogatari. And yeah i think SHAFT or Whitefox are the only proper studios for this.

^I agree with that.

Though I think the real problem to animate this novel is the inner thoughts of the characters, but it still would be amazing at least one or more movies/series, even if it wouldn't be perfectly adapted. I would sure love that.

I think it'll get an adaptation after it's finished publishing.
I think it's a decent ln, story is pretty good, but conversations tend to be really meaningless and boring.
My favorite character was Kamiuchi, but he was strangled by my second favorite character, Daiya, what a shame.

Maria had a little lamb,
His fleece was white as snow,
And everywhere that Maria went,
The lamb was sure to go.

He followed her to school one day,
Which was against the rule,
It made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school.

And so the teacher turned it out,
But still it lingered near,
And waited patiently about,
Till Maria did appear.

"Why does the lamb love Maria so?"
The eager children cry.
"Why, Maria loves the lamb, you know."
The teacher did reply.

Since I couldn't find a place to ask Hakomari related questions, I've come here.

In the first novel Daiya is class president, but in the second it's Miyazaki. What's up with that?

(I only recently found Hakomari and am now starting the 5th novel. How come so few people know about this? This is absolute gold!)
