Not bad for Monogatari Series: Monster Season. I've been curious about this series ever since it was announced.

UGHHHH!!! That Mahouka cover is cancer. I'm sorry it's not like I ship him with a guy, I ship him with Yaoi-Senpai, oops that's me, but PLS TSUTOMU SENSEI, LET TATSUYA END UP WITH ANYONE EXCEPT THAT B*TCH MIYUKI. I BEG YOU T_T

You can write your own story and get your sh*t taste, please respect the author's story and his characters.

Said the one who doesn't have a taste, or created a new account just to hide his cancer taste.

Blarey said:

Did something happen and she's not his blood sister anymore? Or do the creators just have the guts to make him end up with his sister lol I didn't think that would actually happen... I might have to read it now.

I didn't read anything, just saw the cover so I thought they are in a relationship. But look like someone is joking here :(

OT: Ah this Mahouka volume has gotten really good reviews and based on the spoilers given so far, its probably going to be the best selling volume since vol 16.

Also dat Youkoso, actually hope Yen Press picks this up.

[spoiler] I would still say that genetically they are at least close to each other as half-siblings, given that Maya manipulates that her genes are almost identical to the genes of Miya (her twin sister) and she ignores Koichi's accusation in this, saying "it does not matter already, we got permission to marry". In any case, biologically they are still brother and sister and Tatsuya did not count their genes quite different when he saw her DNA, not to mention the fact that kinship is determined not by the number of common genes. [/ Spoiler]

Blarey said:

[Spoiler]At the time of the 23rd volume, he still ignores her feelings, although formally they are no longer a brother and sister and they can enter into a relationship without any public condemnation. She is still the center of the universe for him and his only meaning in life, but everything looks as if he is purposely wasting time and does not want to start a forced relationship with his sister, even with loopholes in mind.

Nevertheless, the author's own attitude toward this is rather ambiguous, I think. On the one hand, genetic differences and the aunt's plan allow him to hide the incest under the carpet, and on the other hand, it still looks like an incest-drama with "the sister tries to seduce a chaste brother into forbidden love" and Sato still calls them by brother and sister in advertising.

Not to mention that their marriage is technically a "villainous" plan of their aunt, created to provoke world war and destroy the world in the future. In general, personally it seems to me that he is trying to please both sides - both moralists and incest fans. [/ Spoiler]

It did. Not a particularly large one, granted, but it did. There hasn't been any volumes out of the sequel series (which will have gotten considerably less "boost" than the original one) since before the anime began airing, though, so...

The fan translation is up to volume 18

I know and I'm thankful to the translators for their hard work. Though I have no idea if it's still being translated as there hasn't been any updates for quite awhile as far as I'm aware.

At least we have spoilers to look forward to, better than nothing right?

Its still being worked on, its just the translators have lives to lol. Plus they also have to read the latest volumes and give us spoilers and summaries as well.

Too bad I can't read it T.T It would be faster to learn Japanese than wait years for the Yen Press to finally catch up.

is konosuba declining in sales?

Konosuba vol.12 has limited version which already sales over 20k books. So after 3 weeks, it sales 88k, slightly better than vol.11

Do not worry, after the 16th, nothing has changed. Only is that now she does not hide her feelings.

You're trying to say that she ever tried to hide them? :P

A good joke: D Well, I want to say that Onii-sama did not know about this earlier, or rather, was afraid to think about it. Although earlier there were strange moments when he even interpreted her care of his health as "incestuous feelings".
