Kazuma Kamachi Launch new series

Kazuma Kamachi the author of Light Novel series To Aru Majutsu no Index series , To Aru Kagaku no Railgun, Heavy object and The Zashiki Warashi of Intellectual Village will be launching a new series, the new LN series is titled Waltraute-san no Konkatsu Jijō (Waltraute's Marriage Hunting Situation in english) it will be publish on march issue of  ASCII Media Works' Dengeki Bunko Magazine according to anime news network and according to the site the illustration will be done by artist NAGI, who also drawn the Light novel Illustration of Heavy Object.

i don't know if this will be good new or bad new for me, good news is there will be new great story by by Kazuma Kamachi plus it more like a romance story with fantasy and action, unlike his other series that is more one sci-fi, action, fantasy will little ecchi and romance so this new series will be quite different from his previous series, the downside i see is it will slowdown the progress of other series or the risk of the author getting sick because of overwork while doing all the series at the same time also, getting sick is pretty common on their like of work like what happen to the author of Zero no tsukaima so i hope he won't, still this is a great new for me because there is another great series to read and i'm already looking forward to read it.

i happy about the result because most of my favorite are in the top ten like SAO, To Aru Majutsu, Baka-Test, Suzumiya Haruhi and Haganai, i'm not surprise that SAO will get no.1 ranking because its a great LN  ,  even Toaru lost it spot this year to SAO its Heroine Misaka, Mikoto is dominating the No.1 spot for  female characters for 3 year straight while Baka test last volume is Cliffhanger it was still good and makes the next volume something to watch out next year, Haganai is getting more interesting every volume i think it really deserve to be in top ten, Haruhi Suzimiya a great series i haven't check it latest release this year and looks like i have to wait for next year before they release its translation, although i haven't read Ben-to the anime is quite good but i find it lacking in romance, i haven't idolising and circlet girl so i'm not familiar with them while  baka-tsuki has the translated version of iris on rainy days which i'm planning to read in the near future.

my thought after reading Baka Test volume 10 contain warning some spoiler

warning this post contain some spoilers and if you haven't read the Light Novel please turn back and read other post or some other blogs/website.

I just finish reading the volume 10 of Baka Test this afternoon, the novel was great it is still funny with lots of gags and the appearance of Akihisa rival that made his first apperance in Volume 9 and the the conclusion of the summon war between Class 2-A and 2-F was the main highly of this volume, i did enjoy reading it one of the reason is i love reading manga or LN where the protagonist and his comrade struggle to fight stronger opponents like in this LN, what just disappointed me is the lack of romance in this volume the scene with Himeji with Akihisa is too few, there are some few scene of Akihisa-Minami in this Volume but it still not enough to satisfy my crave and there is also Lack of ecchi scenes in this volume unlike the previous volume of Baka-Test, this volume is the most lack of Ecchi scene Musulini only has a single Nosebleed scene, and some ecchi scene with Minami so this volume is clearly Lacking in Fan Service Division, and i don't like the new character Either although its good to have i rival, i really hate his attitude and the way he approach Himeji, the main highlight of this volume is the Summon wars between 2-A and 2-F, the way the 2-F struggle to fight 2-A who's far superior when it come to grades, how Yuuji device the plan to beat 2-A and how Shouko counters him is good and how Yuuji exploit their advantages when it comes to experience in summoning war, the fight scene with the summon being in this volume is really good along with some comedy with it and the strategy he use against 2-A in the second half of the summon war which i didn't anticipated, the conclusion of the summoning war leaves me hanging when the Pricipal together with Linne Klein third year  Aoi Kogura,Takashito and Toko-Natsu show up in the time that Mutsulini was about to Finish Shouko and stop the summon war just to announce that there will be a summon war between the third year and the second year and the way the volume ends where Akihisa and Takashiro kiss make me say what the F***, this volume is really a cliffhanger and it reminded me of volume 3 when Nanami Kiss Akihisa in the end, well only that one in the volume 3 is romantic while this one in the volume 10 service for BL fans but over all i really did enjoy the whole volume and the war between the second year and third year is something to watch out in the next volume and also what really is the relationship between Himeji and Takashiro(i really hate this guy). 

thats all for the volume 10 of baka test and thank you for reading my blog

i really love Tsundere characters specially characters voiced by Kugimiya, Rie like Shana of shakugan no shana, Louise Francoise Le Blanc de la Valliere of  zero no tsukaima and also the Aisaka, Taiga of Toradora  , i watch the anime version of this series first and anime because of  work i don't finish watching the anime until i find the Light novel version of this series on Baka-tsuki and i really get engrossed in reading it, and because i watch the anime version first when i read the novel version when i read the novel version i feel like i'm watching the anime again, and in my mind i even heard the voice of Taiga who's Voice actress is Kugimiya, i really did enjoy reading volumes of this Light Novel and most of the time i get engrossed in reading until morning, if you have watch the anime i also recommend to read the lightnovel in my opinion the Light Novel version is much better and there are scene in the Light Novel that are different in the anime.

Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance volume 3 translation is finish

finally just yesterday one of my most awaited Light Novel Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance translation in baka-tsuki  is finally finished and just today they have release the pdf version, i'm so happy that i can even run around the house naked, i'm celebrating right and my anxiousness for the last two day because of not able to watch chuunibyou in the release date is gone because of it, thank you baka-tsuki for translating such a great series not only Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance but also other lightnovel series.

Yandere Character

For some reasons i really love Yandere characters, the first time i encounter this type of character is in School Days or shuffle i think, but because of the ending of that anime i really don't like it at first, but i started to like this type of character when i read the manga Mirai Nikki that manga was really intense and i think she is one of the most severe case of yandere, but i do really like her and her loyalty to Yukiteru but i still find her quite scary specially in some scene in the manga so she's not really my favorite Yandere Characters, the series that make me fall in love in Yandere characters is Hidan No Aria its love in first sight to Shirayuki Hotogi she's so cute special when she is Jealous, Flustered and blushing she's just too damn cute, ever since i start searching for good Manga with Yandere Characters, there are few good manga with yandere as heroine like Koharu no Hibi, Love Tyrant and other but what i most love of all Yandere is Yaya of  Unbreakable she is just so irresistibly cute and lovely, i aslo love the series Unbreakable machine doll and i hope it will get animated soon so i can see Yaya go dere dere and go Yan yan more.

here is some of my favorite pics of Yaya in the Manga

Ballad of a Shinigami Volume 2

it's been few months since i got a hold of this book the volume 2 of Ballad of a Shinigami, the problem is i don't have the volume 1 so i can't read this book yet, i buy this book in a Book Sale  outlet in Asia Philippines at a price of 115 pesos that's really cheap and this is the only Light Novel i found in that outlet, ever since then i did try to go to different book store and second hand book store to search for its volume 1 or even to find a Light Novel book but i have find nothing not a single Light Novel, i'm still not giving up and still try to find the volume one of the book, my last resort is i'm going to but it online once i have enough cash to spare.
