As usual, there's no news in this issue about Highschool of the Dead returning. There is, however, a spread called "Highschool of the Dead World Report," which gives a little information and some pictures from AnimagiC in Germany and the Japan Expo in France. AnimagiC seems to have had a larger HOTD presence than I expected, with plenty of cos-players and even a zombie makeup booth. It doesn't look like there was much going on at the France expo. I'll include the scans with this month's Triage X raws.
The Maken-Ki! booklet that came with this issue turned out to be a lot like the Paisorojii. The only differences are there's not a doujinshi section and the entire thing is in color. Even the black-and-white character concept sketches are outlined in color. There are two full color chapters this time. One is the first Maken-Ki! Kai chapter, and the other is the second half of Chapter 37.5, a side chapter called "drink&meet." I may eventually get around to scanlating drink&meet with Hidoi's script, but I won't be able to do the other since nobody is scanlating that series yet. It's going to be a while before I get around to it, though. I'm extremely busy right now, and there are other projects that come before this.
Since I am so busy, it's probably going to be a few days before I have a chance to scan this month's Triage X and Maken-Ki! raws. Hopefully, I'll have them up by the weekend. See you then.
On HOTD Wikia I saw Highschool Of The Dead: Owari no Hi, what are your thouths aon it? There is not a lot of info about it.
ReplyDeleteAlso looking forward to new Triage X!
i'm interested in this too...
DeleteThat was a novel by Daisuke Sato that came with the September 2010 issue of Dragon Age. I don't really know much about the story as I can't read Japanese and it hasn't been translated.
DeleteOwari no Hi is the novelization of the series by Daisuke Sato. It has a number of differences from the manga version but it's incomplete and the only compiled version of it is a bonus booklet that came with the 9/2010 issue of Dragon Age. The complete single-volume novel was scheduled to come out in March of 2011 I believe, but needless to say, it was never released. Given Daisuke's track record, it was probably never finished.
DeleteThank you for the clarification. I guess we know Daisuke is a good writer since he uses the invaluable tool of procrastination, something all the best writers seem to do so well.
Deleteso it wasn't released last month like it says in the wiki? and people are speculating it may be how the story ends cuz it's called "the last days". another rumor huh?
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize it said that on the wiki. I'll fix it. I haven't had time to monitor the wiki lately like I used to. I can assure you it was released two years ago and thus is very unlikely an end to the story. I don't think Daisuke Sato would end the story and then write three more chapters and put the series on hiatus. Whatever you've heard is rumor and speculation.
