The Empty Box and Zeroth Maria (light novel)
| https://twitter.com/mikage_eiji/status/576954245913583616 He appears to say that he's 95% done here. |
| I haven't even read Volume 6 yet and I'm a little afraid to. |
| time to start the hypetrain yet? |
  |
| FUCK YES!! Been waiting for this for a while now, amazing series, hopefully concluded and a amazingly worthy way. |
| almost there!!! can't wait >.< |
| Now for the translation though.. |
| Yeah, let's hope it gets translated fast! |
| I think this'll get translated pretty fast once it's released, it's in extremely high demand after all Though HakoMari is probably not the easiest light novel to translate simply due to its contents admittedly |
| |
| Hakomari is a surprisingly easy read, actually. Although it's certainly a pain to shoehorn into the English language, I'll give the translator that. Anyway, color me hyped. Here's hoping it'll be better than v5 & v6. Didn't like those that much. |
| Easy to read yes, but that's just because of how well-written it is Translating it however is probably pretty difficult I'd imagine |

Bluuuue said: Would you recommend it to intermediate level Japanese learner? Mikage tends to use short sentence and no long-winded descriptions of locations and stuff (which is one of the things I find difficult to read). If you've got the grammar down, it shouldn't be too hard to read, and you always have a translation to compare with! (Although I can't guarantee its quality... Some of it is awfully old *cough*and might be a bit faulty.*cough*) But as HaXXspetten said: give it a try and see how it goes. |

| Hyped. I guess it's time to give Hakomari one more re-read. |
| Mikage just sent the manuscript to his editor. https://twitter.com/mikage_eiji/status/577794278375575552 |
| In all honesty i couldn't care less about the other character's. I just want Kazuki and Haruaki to have the happy end they deserve. |
| Hell yes,that's a good news :D |

waterflame said: Also, LOL @Eusth. The translator's doing just fine at shoehorning HakoMari! I'm sure he'd be delighted to hear that -- I'll be sure to tell him. :D At this point, I would laugh if the editor (Miki) rejected Mikage's script, but who knows; maybe the editor wants a love, peace and harmony end. |
| im too happy now, |
 |
| :) |
 |
| Oh, Ohhhhh.. best news I've heard in months. _Knobby said: Indeed. ;_;There is a god ;_; |

It's impossible to say, sometimes what they translate seems totally out of the blue, and sometimes it's purely popularity. If they ever did, I'm clearly buying all of them. Anyhow, been looking forward to this ever since I read up to this point in HakoMari, looks like it's time to reread it soon. |
 |
| So he just finished writing with the last volume. https://twitter.com/mikage_eiji/status/577794278375575552 |

| I think Im going to cry from happiness |
| Better not disappoint us, sensei! |
 |
| it would be great if there's a sequel announcement after volume 7. |
 |
| o god, it's finally happening ;~~~~; |
 |
| Whatever sensei gives us, my heart is ready for it... I hope so. |

_Knobby said: Actually i'm also not a big fan of endless series. it would be great if it can perfectly ends in volume 7 but from the complex plots we have so far, i think it's hard to end with just 1 volume. sequel better than rush ending that's what i mean.Takiya_Oomine said: it would be great if there's a sequel announcement after volume 7. Nah, the story needs to end at some point, and volume 6 set it on the course for conclusion. If I wanted to read a needlessly protracted story, I'd read some shoujo. |

| I actually really loved those abstract parts in vol1, which reappeared back in 5 and 6. I hope I get more of them. Just pure lyrical descriptions of the state of mind I can drown in. |
