    First New SnS Novel in 5 Years Empty First New SnS Novel in 5 Years

    So this popped up on ANN to my surprise....

    https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2018-09-03/1st-banner-of-the-stars-novel-in-5-years-debuts/.136298

    The sixth volume of Hiroyuki Morioka's Banner of the Stars (Seikai no Senki) novel series will ship in Japan on Wednesday. The novel, titled Seikai no Senki: Teikoku no Raimei (Imperial Thunder), will be the first installment in the novel series in five years.

    Seikai no Senki V: Shukumei no Shirabe shipped in Japan in March 2013. It was the first volume published in eight years.

    Tokyopop published the earlier three-volume Crest of the Stars novel series in English following its release of some of the manga adaptations (Toshihiro Ono's Crest of the Stars and Banner of the Stars and Wasoh Miyakoshi's Banner of the Stars II). Morioka's novels were also adapted into three anime television series, an original anime video project, and various spinoffs.

    The sci-fi novel series Crest of the Stars follows the adventures of Jinto Lin, a young aristocrat whose father ceded their planetary system to the Abh Empire, and Lafiel, the Abh Empire's princess. Banner of the Stars picks up three years later; Lafiel becomes captain of her own assault ship and Jinto joins her crew.

    Thanks for telling us. For some reason this one slipped under my radar.
    I thought he wanted to start a new series chapter with a new sub-name but he obviously changed his mind. I suppose he figured a new title would make it less likely to be found by existing fans.

    Wait, what? Holy crap!

    I don't speak Japanese (nor will be able to read something like Seikai in the near future) but it feels good to know that volumes 5 and 6 are out there, and someday I'll get to read them.

    The earlier volumes have already been translated so you might want to try to look for them.

    First New SnS Novel in 5 Years Empty Spoiler alert

    Post by UMie 4/24/2019, 1:15 pm

    Greetings. Assuming you guarantee safe passage and return for United Mankind representative, I am authorized to reveal some spoilers. Smile

    Us intelligence operatives were lurking around this forum for a while, so after reading this topic I was pretty much surprised to learn, that all six SNS novels have been fan-translated to Russian language (thanks to Ushwood). Very convenient for me, since it’s my native language. I have read book 5  and gave veeeery fast reading to book six, so my spoilers are currently incomplete/ Some info about book 5 will be provided on it’s existing topic later, here I will focus on book 6. I am also less interested about Jinto/Lafiel and other sorts of relations, and more in the setting itself, and how the war between Four Nations Alliance and Romanticized Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere Humankind Empire Abh progresses. I am also not big fan of anime (with a few exceptions), but quite fond of sci-fi, and this is quite rare example of japanese sci-fi.

    Spoiler:

    If you want, you can ask questions, will try to answer them to the best of my ability. Safe passage guaranties first, please Smile

    It's fine. The spoilers won't travel far at this point. Thanks for sharing as most of us can't read russian. Also if you have time take a look at our wiki and perhaps add information to it.

    Most importantly, how is Jinto doing? What is his current job?

    Dude’s one of my favorite characters in all of fiction. I envy his social skills and his benign sarcasm.

    Thank you for the invitation. We're about to have a large holidays in Russia, so all big updates will be afterwards (10-11 of May) Will see, what i can do about the wiki, but since my writing skills in English are not very good, whatever i will add will benefit from some editing. There is definitely some data to be added or changed from books 5 and 6 like Hania and Union's info, some info about Alliance offensive and battle of Lakfakalle (for example - Hanian task force in battle for Lakfakalle and Kryb kingdom was not reduced to two ships - it was composed of two ships. They simply had no more to spare - the rest were used elsewhere), etc.

    Yes. welcome and thanks for the spoilers. Don't worry about your English either as it's good. Very Happy
    In the anime Jinto realizes that he'll be growing old when Lafiel is still young looking, don't know if the same is in the novels.

    The biggest problem or critique about SnS6 is the ten year jump in the story and that not much happened in that time.

    Hi there again. Just to let you know, i have not abandoned the idea to do some contribution. I am currently working on the article and subarticles that will cover the SNS V novel events in greater detail. Business trips do not help Smile.
    I expect a draft to be made within a week, and one more week will be spent on it's polishing.
    I have also added some small info on the People's Sovereign Union of Planets, more to get aquainted with the wiki, than do some significant contribution.

    No promises but yeah.

    After discussions and all I've the feeling Morioka might have become weary of writing the series as things have waned and it becoming little to no relevance. I've have no doubt he will complete the series as promised unless he passes away before. However, it might not be as rich and extensive as he had in mind before. We probably won't ever see much more on the life and worlds of the other parties in the war.

    As long as he can avoid the pitfalls of other such series such as A Song of Ice and Fire, which Martin is still working on despite the Game of Thrones tv series being done with. Perhaps from the start he should simply have stuck with Lafiel and Jinto and telling things from their pov instead of trying to be overly extended.

    Now the question really is how much of what has been written will be translated into anime?

    Don't know if things are really getting wonky as people stated but I sure as hell won't give up on this series till it reaches its conclusion. Before I die I must see Lafiel in the Jade Throne as Ramaj da Gawd did.

    J-Novel Club already scheduled Bots1 for release in December at this rate it would take about 2.5 years to get to Bots6. They obviously did fast on Cots because of previous works.

    I'm not happy with Morioka's current story pace but have to accept it.
