Next month is still exciting, despite there being no HOTD. Shouji Sato's new art book, which now has the official title "Shouji Sato Artworks: Highschool of the Dead & Triage X LIGHTNING POP," will be released on August 9, and I can't wait to get mine. On the same day, Triage X Volume 5 will be released and, as usual, the September issue of Monthly Dragon Age. Next month's issue will feature Triage X on the cover, and the extra will be a booklet that is a supplement to the art book. It looks like it will have sketches and stuff of the illustrations from the art book. There's a lot to look forward to next month.
That's really all I have to say about this month's issue. There's not much else going on right now.
There's an anime convention in Germany this month called AnimagiC on July 27-29, and Shouji Sato is supposed to attend and do a panel. Here's the site (in German):

If anyone reading this lives in Germany and will be attending the convention, I would like to ask for your help. I would greatly appreciate it if someone who will be at the convention and at Shouji Sato's panel can give me updates about the panel so I can post any important news here. I know people are going to ask him questions about the status of HOTD, but I can't rely on someone taking a video or something. I personally don't think he will give us any new information, but it's good to be prepared anyway.
I'll post Triage X and Maken-Ki! raws tomorrow sometime. See you then.
thanks for the update!!! I will be looking forward to the possibility of news from sato later this month, and the artbook in august!
ReplyDeleteIs this the first time Shouji is doing something in Public? I don't he has ever shown his face before. This might be the only chance of us to find out what happened with HOTD.
ReplyDeleteThe guy who actually writes the story is Daisuke, and he's freaking slow. Shouji's just the illustrator, so he might not know what the problem is or when it would be solved.
ReplyDeleteWe don't know for sure that the only problem is Daisuke or that Shouji won't know anything about what is going on. We have to be prepared just in case.
DeleteHere's a link to the German Anime Forums, there's a thread on AnimagiC and I tried getting an account set up but I haven't received the message to have my account activated. Turambar, if you haven't, could you try getting an account on there and make a thread on the Shouji Sato panel and write down anything of importance?

That thread doesn't seem very active. If something happens, the information will be available elsewhere. Just give the people who attended some time to get home and rest before they start posting about it. I'm not sure if you've gone to a big convention like this, but it really takes a lot out of you. I would be surprised if there were no pictures or videos posted by Monday.
