Dear god if there's more Index animated....

-what if-

The Yohokama Arc from Mahouka and the WWIII Arc from Index air at the same time.

*fails to contain erection*


But yea. Always want more from him, he does good work.

Let me get this straight, in only ten years Kamachi has published:

A Simple Series (2 volumes)
The Circumstances Leading to Waltraute's Marriage (1 volume)
Heavy Object (8 volumes)
The Zashiki Warashi of an Intellectual Village (3 volumes)
A Certain Magical Index (22 volumes)
A Certain Magical Index: New Testament (9 volumes)

That's 45 books, and that's not counting all the Index spinoffs and sidestories. And now he's tarting another series?

Kamachi's a brain in a jar somewhere deep in the bowels of the Dengeki Bunko building. There's no way a normal human would have time to write that much.

Its only a novel every three months. And these are relatively short novels. I'm eternally grateful he's not the Game of Thrones guy.

"only a novel every three months"

lol.

They are short compared to what is typically called a "novel" (well, they ARE technically light novels after all) but that's still a LOT of content from one person. I wonder if he has a ghost writer helping him? idk...Im still praying hard for S3

Ohhhh I didn't know he did Heavy Object.

Guess I have to give that a shot now, I had been passing it up b.c of lack of interest.

Yeah, I snickered at that myself. But, as a novelist myself, I've pumped out a novels worth of material in a month before... and I'm assuming he's far more gifted than I am. And likely has less editting hassles since he's likely employing/given a staff to do that.

Japan is 14 hours ahead of US Central time, so you can base it off of that. What time does the event start anyways?

100000 years from now, they will uncover lost texts of the 21st century that worship "Osamu Tezuka" as "God of the Lolis", which seem to be some sort of smaller subspecies of mankind.

As long as they still pay tribute to Masakazu Katsura as the Divine Ass-Master, all will be well. No one draws a lady's behind as well as he does.

Apparently you aren't familiar with Kawakami Minoru... Because Kamachi pales in comparison with this level of graphomania, and he lets out a two or three of such volumes in year even now.
