Who will be on the cover of vol.32? (possible spoilers)

[Cannibal]

The possibility that we already have a source art for the cover somewhere in published chapters is very high, so I made a poll. I think there will be Agito's XD on the cover.

 

Also, who will be on the colour page and in datafiles? I think we will have JabiroLuggnagg and one or two of the new zoanoids in the datafiles and I fear that there will be Luggnagg's base on the colour page.

I vote Darkness! But in saying that Takaya makes some odd choices, so you never know. But he does usually have a few colour pages here and their other than the front cover.

[Gazham]

Gigantic and apolloyn I vote!

[Kanji]

Sorry for the slightly off-topic, but do we have any indication of when Vol.32 is set to drop? Usually it's around September time, but we're November now.

 

How many pages are we up to with the latest chapter? Appreciate each tank can be anywhere between 150-180 pages so not a great help...........

[Sully]

It's not out yet even for preorder and isn't mentioned on Kadokawa's site. But at a guess, somewhere in the next few months.

[Cannibal]

We have 138 pages for 32 volume.

 

31 had 162*

30 had 154*

29 had 164*

 

*Excluding datafiles, cover, colour page, characters description, contents page and page about the recent events.

Including a few pages which Yoshiki made for the full volume release (e.g. there were 4 new pages in vol. 29 if I'm not mistaking).

 

So we need at least 12 new chapter's pages + 4 new volume's pages to get to "154 pages". Yoshiki can (I hope) make 12 pages in November's chapter, so we may see the new volume in December. Even then he may take 1 month break and release the vol. 32 month later, as he did with vol. 31

 

Also we need to consider that the vol. 30 had 8 additional pages with character description in the end, so it's possible that we need at least 2 more monthly chapters to get enough pages for the vol. 32. Like 10 in November + 10 in December = 158 chapter's pages, then + 4 volume's pages = 162.

 

So:

The best-case scenario: volume 32 released in December 2015

The worst-case scenario: volume 32 released in February 2016 (not March because I doubt that Yoshiki need 2 month of his breaks, that will be crazy!)

Wow that's some fine detective work on the page count there Cannibal!!

 

I hope that volume comes out next month too as I'm interested to see what the new datafiles are!

 

Who wants to bet that vol.33 comes out in 2017?

It's not out yet even for preorder and isn't mentioned on Kadokawa's site. But at a guess, somewhere in the next few months.

 

Pre-orders have already been made available on one Web site.  This news has been out since last week.

[Cannibal]

Thanks Guyver Four! I forgot about the Rakuten website. I'm surprised they have the info published even before Kadokawa.

  That's really good information guys, thank you very much. I'm planning on going to Japan next summer so I may just wait till I get there to purchase mine, seeing how it costs 580 yen. I rather pay that then almost $10 here at Kinnokuniya bookstores.

I voted for Gigantic Dark Exceed on the front cover. No mistake about it!
