Seikai no Senki V novel

Yes, direct your thanks to our newest team member Ken07 for his support in getting things done sooner.

Ah! So Ekuryua got a promotion!
btw:What does it mean Front Flyer? I'm just curious what that means after Jinto's rank as Ship's Clerk.

If you don't know something try our Seikai wiki and type your search query.

Regardless of rank, Jinto's job is that of a clerk. This guy will never get past that.

Even though he's really close to the person who could be the next Empress?

He could be a diplomat but being a noble that's to be expected at any time. And we know how it turned out on Lobnas II.
She could make him the prime minister but who would feel secure with that? He's still too far from having the basic skillz.

Plus you forgot to mention he's very uncomfortable with the whole nobility thing since he was a
Commoner to begin with.

Thank for your work Ken07!

Hello there,

If at all possible, I want to try to flesh out and update some character pages. Given that Beneej Spoor's page is a bit of a prideful project of mine, could I get some information about her participation if any after Operation Hunter. From what little I know, she simply vanishes.

By all means please do, but go here first and read (must be logged in)

You will find more information while doing so.

Mr. Raven will attempt to register as soon as possible . . . Thank you.

Anyway back to the random section

Just wondering Crest of the Stars Volume 3 return to a Strange World is there any other place than amazon to get it because it quite a lot of money at the moment.

Just got the first volume of crest of the stars novel wonder how it differs from the anime.

Well, they are all out of print. There's no choice but to look for them. You might find something cheap on eBay.
I bet you will like the novel more even though it's abridged and the Baronh are inconsistent from book to book.
Enjoy!

yeah the second volume wont be a issue its the third one since its quite a lot on amazon so i might try looking on eBay thanks for the advice.

I remember a long time ago when they were being sold at B & N and still kick myself when I didn't pick
any up. But then again who knew it would only be available for only a short time there.

In the worse case you can find fan translation at Abhnation's forum repository. It's missing parts, too, though.

I believe I made a note about the missing parts in the wiki.
And I could provide my own source of the Tokyopop, too.

Thanks will do but going finish the first book this week and then buy the second book when I have some more money then I see for trying to find a cheap version for the third book.

I have the manga for Crest and Banner I.
IIRC the first novel is about Lafiel's early days?

Yes and no. Morioka seeds information all over the place (e.g. whenever needed).

I bet he planned this meticulously. One reason it's difficult to gather information for the wiki. You gotta do this live. Also I should note his namings are unique. Despite using simple japanese kana put together none resembles the other (so far). On the other hand a lot appear to originate from some trademark using engrish and Hepburn transformation or conversion.

Ah!

He must be one of those writers who write things out in their head first before they put it down on paper then.

Yep, kind of like where I have laid out the direction and then write toward it. But I'm not set on most details other than the most needed to know myself e.g. character details.

I'm more of stream of consciousness type myself, as you can tell from the way I write fanfic.
I just start from wherever and try to go from there; which is probably my biggest handicap, since
I always end up painting myself into corners *koff* Puella Magi Sasami Magica*koff*
(and with Tenchiforum gone I guess I won't be finishing it.)
I just have trouble working from outlines,even in my head.

Any updates about plot details or developments in the novel that I would be able to include?

Well, there is fighting going on and lots of chatter but not enough for a good harvest yet.

Not sure if anyone has noticed, but there is a Russian translation of most of the Seikai books up to the first chapter of BotS V at "ushwood (dot) ru/bots/"  they even have CotS translated. Google translate through Chrome seems to be pretty good too.
