^ Indeed, 328 pages will be longer than the longest novel to date which is a bit under 300 pages. And all are also illustrated by original character designer and original novel illustrator Ruroo (where do they get their pen names from???). 270 pages for Angelic Element is a more usual length for them.

ED and OST CDs are also a great bonus.

12 episodes question is, will they really try to get through all 12 novels, one opponent per week starting with Cannibal Candy? Or will they space it out some, perhaps two weeks per novel to leave room for a possible season 2? Or go really slowly and only finish a few novels and hope you buy and read them?

They're just adapting the first 2 volumes.

^ Yeah, the extras in the form of new volumes of novel is massive. The advertisement even said there is NO gimmick or corner-cutting for the 328 page Volume 0 that comes with BD/DVD vol.1 LOL

The more the better.

Comes with lots of extras!

20 page booklets with all volumes.

Volume 1 also comes with a 328 page volume 0 'Facing "Shadow Moon"' and a special song CD with ED and character song.

Volume 2 comes with 40 page 'Facing "Angelic Element" 1' and complete sound track CD 1.

Volume 3 comes with 40 page 'Facing "Angelic Element" 2' and complete sound track CD 2.

Volume 4 comes with 40 page 'Facing "Angelic Element" 3'.

Volume 5 comes with 40 page 'Facing "Angelic Element" 4'.

Volume 6 comes with 150 page 'Facing "Angelic Element" 5' so total 270 pages, and all volume "Box 2" which is odd as I don't see "Box 1" anywhere, might be a typo.

Just got around to read tiny pieces of the manga and it gives me mixed feelings. I like the premise as it reminds me a lot of Fullmetal Alchemist (particularly the science+magic=automaton things), the likeable yet relatable male lead, and the whole "night party" thing, where all of students from academy fighting each other with their automatons to earn a respectable title is interesting enough to keep me from boredom (which hopefully will point out into some sort of conclusion, unlike the one in Infinite stratos). But on the other hand, i just can't bring myself to like the main heroine, the MC's automaton. Her possessiveness toward the MC just turns me off and whenever she asks the MC to do perverted things to her, i can't help but bang my head against the desk. And if there's other thing i rather dislike about this series, it is its monster of the week format (albeit change the "monster" into girl") which strongly hints me that it's going to devolve into yet another harem series sooner or later.

Might probably give it a shot, though it won't be on my most anticipated list

Hopefully the screening of episode 1 will be subbed. I want to see Yaya and Charl soon.
