Tom Hiddleston As Loki Laufeyson Throughout The MCU (2011 - ) 

Gyun is beyond saving!!

I just realise... Does Kyo Kara Maoh actually an Isekai Anime/Manga/Light Novel?!! The kind of Isekai Anime that ALWAYS with Male Protagonist so far with Harem! Except rather than Female Harem, Yuuri get the Male Harem!??!

Well…yes haha. It is an isekai of course, and yeah, it’s a harem where Yuuri got all the nice guys XD 

But what I love about this series is how it parodies all the stereotypes, like the wonderful guy who’s incredibly beautiful but has massive nosebleeds and disgustingly snots all over Yuuri when he cries, the perfect sweet normal guy who sucks telling jokes and has a creepy side, the stoic mature and handsome guy who loves cute stuff and knits, the young prince-like who’ll puke all around in boats, the ripped spy who’s flashy and cross dresses, the macho guy who’s extremely good at cooking…

She broke every one of them in a funny way haha, specially Gyun, she broke him too much.

I just want Takabayashi-sensei to work her magic already and write up the next volume! That beautiful yet exasperating cliffhanger and those extras really don't help my curious little heart!

Your analysis was great as always! I feel like there is someone there who is invested in this series just as much, if not many times more, like me.

Hi! Just wanna say I love ur blog (low key check it all the time to see if there’s anything new) but what do you believe the next book will mostly be about, what to expect from where we left off?

Hi @verydonutturtleexpert! Thanks for checking my blog, I’m sorry I’m not updating as often as I used to. It’s just a temporary thing, I’m sure I’ll be posting more often soon.  Speaking of, November 2020 is the 20th anniversary of maruma, so I hope everyone’s preparing for the celebrations.  As for what I expect the next book to be, I think it will have a lot of the info we’ve seen in some of the post novel drama cds, the manga, and the extras stories. I’ll explain why I’m taking these as reliable info soon.

My opinion on what might happen in the next novel(s)

First, let’s start with the afterword for novel 17: In it Takabayashi sensei said that the next novel will be titled: "The Ma!Light Burns in the Darkness! “ and that Wolfram might take a bit of a protagonist role in it . This makes sense because on the last chapter of novel 17, we could see that Shinou was threatening Yuuri’s and all of Wolfram’s family’s lives, if Wolfram dared to spill the secret to Yuuri.  This means that what’s happening behind closed doors can only be witnessed by Wolfram and not Yuuri, and why Yuuri can’t tell us what’s happening. 

 At the same time we have the post novel drama cd 71,  ”I can't sleep tonight". In it, Yuuri goes to Conrad to cry about how “Wolf hasn’t been around at night (he sneaks out in the middle of the night) and omg is he cheating on me!?” There’s also talk about Jozak’s recovery and how he has been visiting Murata at Shinou’s Shrine, and how Murata kicked Yuuri out when Jozak arrived, claiming he (Murata) had a cold. Now it seems that Murata and Jozak are plotting or doing something (yes a lot of love for this ship). The point is that they’re hiding something from Yuuri. Could it be they found out about the boxes that Wolf brought back without permission? Clearly Murata and Jozak are investigating whatever is happening with Wolf and Shinou. Why the drama cd? The drama cd was written with supervision of GEG and sensei, and it talks about everything that happened in the novels. (Wolf, Jozak, Murata).

Onto the manga: The manga was written by GEG, who we can assume had seen the plans sensei had for the following novels and ending, so we can imagine she tried her best to summarize that into the manga (without making Shinou the bad guy he’s being portrayed to be in the novels).

In the manga Wolfram falls into the box and is saved by Yuuri. This could very well be the case in the novels as well, with Yuuri finding out what Wolf’s been hiding and risking his life to save him.

If this happens, then the title will have a perfect double meaning: The bright light of Wolfram shining in the darkness (of Yuuri not knowing what’s been hidden from him), and the light of Yuuri/Wolf in the darkness of the box .

 Now, I don’t think Shinou will just make the boxes ‘disappear’ like in the manga (that was a very rushed ending). Instead, with Shinou as the enemy I expect a final battle to unfold. (possibly in following novels)

Most boxes except for Earth (Gwendal's) are in Shin Makoku’s possession, and probably in Shinou’s Shrine. They had Wind box after the Caloria arc ; Fire box after the Seisakoku arc, and Water box after the Prison arc.  I don’t think Saralegui is about to surrender the Earth box anytime soon so we can expect a battle with Wolf/Yuuri/Conrad(?) fighting with the boxes against Shinou . We do not know if Conrad can actually use the box at will or not). A fight with the 4 boxes would be great , but the ending seems so near and Earth box so far away (at least an arc away). Unless sensei uses a plot like “Maxine has it in Seisa and he ships it over to Shin Makoku" , which would be hilarious and fit the plot, but who knows.

What I can tell is that the climax is near... you can tell by the introduction of the ultimate enemy, Shinou, who has been toying around with everyone. It’s payback time.

In the Prison arc (nv 16, ch1), Murata said that there was a place where the boxes could ‘rest’ forever, but with Shinou’s plans to control them, it seems impossible that they could go on that last quest to put the boxes to rest until the ultimate enemy is vanished.  So I can see the novel ending with the death of the immortal Shinou, and we finding out how he became immortal, what he did to Daikenja, etc.  (I can even see Wolf maybe dying at some point to get Yuuri to use his ‘regeneration’ magic on him).

Whether sensei feels like doing some extras and following through with ‘putting the boxes to rest’ is unknown.  And this is what I think the story might have been like... IF we wouldn’t have had the ‘bad ending’ (It comes equally to anyone I) turned to drama cd (Trick or Treat), turned to canon(It comes equally to anyone II)! Where Yuuri, at some point, during this entire mess, IS SENT BACK TO EARTH! While and I quote’ everyone is in danger int he other world’. So... yeah, I don’t know what to do with that. Maybe the box thing from the manga was changed, and instead Yuuri was shipped to earth and now he’ll be back and then we’ll have the ultimate fight? Also, how long was Yuuri unconscious in the hospital? A week? A year? Impossible to know. So yeah, that’s what I’m guessing might happen in the next novels.  Oh! And don’t forget Yuuri might need to get his head fixed cuz in  ‘Do you want an exorcism?”, which also has the post novel 17 info of Yuuri getting another voice in his head (Uesama Kai) after the water box incident , there was an explanation about getting the ‘people in his head’ to fulfill their wishes so they would stop manifesting.... but maybe that won’t get fixed for a while.

This is beautiful!!

Even though I perfectly knew that we were both guys, being pursued by such a beautiful boy like him still caused my heart to skip a few beats. At times like this, the most effective solution was to avoid looking at his face and keep chanting “He is 82 years old” like a mantra.

This isn’t how that scene went, but this is the mental image that I got when I read that part in the novel.  Oh, Yuuri.

Also, I’ve started reading the novels!  They’re a lot of fun.  Many, many thanks to the people translating them. 

(Ears drawn following this tutorial.)

In love with the last one!!
