Mahouka LN - Yotsuba Inheritance Arc (Volume 16) Discussion / Poll

[amtro]

I'm sure the author can continue living with one less non-paying fan on his conscience.

So it's definite that they are true siblings? No more theories of Tatsuya being Maya's son.

Hmm, I dunno, I don't think it's a deathflag but I also can't see where the Author is going with this move. And what's Maya's aim for telling such a lie. I really hope this won't end in an incest. I have a good feeling that it won't. We're still at volume 16 and didn't the Author say he planned for Mahouka to have 20+ volumes. Plenty of time to steer away from a incestuous ending.

[amtro]

No, there are no definites yet. The author basically went "lol the lie is a lie of a lie. or is it!!???" to create suspense. Right now it is impossible to tell just who is telling the truth. Miyuki has taken it is a go signal and that's what's important.

I've seen plenty of people say stuff like this. Personally I think it's being naïve/Overly hopeful. While it would be plenty of time to steer away from it there is absolutely no indication that he will and plenty pointing towards that direction. Even if Tatsuya and Miyuki don't actually end up as a couple there is going to come a breaking point when the two of them have to at least discuss it, Tatsuya has done his best throughout the novels to conveniently ignore Miyuki's over the top affection, While Miyuki has slowly been getting more courage and pushing things further. Shizuku clearly forshadowed that Miyuki is still restraining herself, but she doesn't believe it will last forever (Which it clearly wont).

Even if they don't end up as a couple the entire story is about Tatsuya/Miyuki. The story is definitely heading in the direction where Tatsuya is eventually going to have to clearly say "No" or give in, meaning we are definitely going to see more awkward sibling affection as the story progresses, whether we like or not. There isn't really any point in hoping for the story to suddenly steer in another direction when the author has spent 15 volumes heading in its current direction slowly but constantly.

I'm crossing my fingers for the former.

I would be laughing profusely if Mahouka manages to succeed where Oreimo failed.
Though I doubt it.

[amtro]

Oreimo didn't fail on the incest department. Kirino and Kyousuke didn't end a single thing, they got worse. Refer to

>“...... pure?”
Kuroneko tilts her neck in doubt. And then, mutters with a scary low voice.
“All the women who dare to brag about their love life before me are bitches, all right?”
“Wait! I haven't be, be, be, be, been bragging at all, you hear!”
“Yes, you have. Why, specifically speaking, that Sunday last week----”
“Da~~! Sto~~~~p! You can't talk about that! You definitely ca~~n't!”
Kirino covers up Kuroneko's mouth, panicking.

Besides, Mahouka wouldn't be the first series to go the incest route, though it would be a lot easier if Miyuki was a cousin rather than a sister.

Well it really doesn't matter if it ends with incest. This is a work of fiction anyone can turn a blind eye with this kind of topic anyways.

Though if the author doesn't plan on ending the series with incest, it begs the question why did he even make Miyuki romantically interested in her brother. He could have just made their relationship like normal siblings and the story would still be the same.

I am fine with both but from Satroll's pattern; its going to be a full blown incest that focus on Miyuki.

Side note: I know just came here for the news.

Oreimo failed because it ended half-ass. It would have been better if they went full straight incest.
Beside no matter what kind of ending there are people who would still complain.

Eye candies; japs have taste for forbidden love stories. I prefer West Side Story or Romeo and Juliet tho. (Not talking about Mayumi's WSS as I am pretty sure I'd drop this if that happened.)

[amtro]

Actually he said that he made Miyuki Tatsuya's sister so that the focus wouldn't be on their relationship, or so that they could live under the same roof without fucking like rabbits.

Only to end with them doing just that.

Just saying I can't help, I'm way too psyched out about the news. This development came even earlier than I was betting on. (Vol 17)

Still, with about 4 more volumes to go, things could still go horrible wrong down the line.

Yeah, like them not being related makes any real difference?

They're still the same people--regardless of blood ties. I'll never get why some people think one small detail is enough of a reason to damn a relationship that could mean happiness for the people involved. Immoral schmoral--I say they go for it, and I'd be damn proud of the creators if they decide to go all out with this route.

[Echizen777]

The volume is not even out and ti's confirmed that they are siblings by blood, it would have been ridiculous if they were not at this point, good. I wonder what Maya is planning.

Since Miyuki considers it's possible to see Tatsuya as a lover now things will get more interesting

[NAJ P. Jackson]

The amount of Onii-samas in this volume will be twice the amount of vol1-15 combined. Every sentence that comes out of Miyuki's mouth begins and ends with Onii-sama. That's her way of stepping up her game of winning his heart lol

[Ultragunner]

things ain't looking good (for Tatsuya at least )

Is Satou really gonna head THAT way with Mahouka? I remember somewhere that he said in an interview that he was not planing for the incest route? or it's just me being silly???

Try reading between the lines. The implied "lie" is still there. The only thing that has changed is that now we know how Miyuki reacts, which we already knew to begin with.

If Tatsuya isn't her brother she might try calling him by name.

[tigerdave]

Okay, so this is still weird. The pink line in that article says:

"Tatsuya and Miyuki real brother and sister. However, by the conspiracy of Mayo Yotsuba, the "blood" relationship is negative"

So, does that mean that Tatsuya was created in a lab? How are they still brother and sister if they're not related by blood? Did Maya give Tatsuya a false blood test? Maybe something is lost in (Google) translation, and the statement says, "They're siblings by blood, but they're told otherwise for Maya Yotsuba's conspiracy"? Also, Google translate really did call Maya "Mayo Yotsuba".

[Jiminy]

Based on the things stated here I would predict that this volume will be either epic or silly and boring. (or maybe something in between )

Anyway I already hate that cover. Looks like one of those cheap kitschy romance novels that can be bought at every kiosk. Well it seems the series wants a new image.

Furthermore that Tatsuya does not look like I think he is supposed to look like. But that's probably just my problem.

Miyuki out of control? I will have to skip a few pages when that happens.

Not related? No one said such.

Yes. Strange but such things happen often. GT is not really good in translating Jap->Eng. BTW it's surprisingly good in translating Chinese.

No, it means that they are really siblings by blood. Maya is denying it because she is planning something and because of this, Miyuki thinks it's OK to consider Tatsuya as a love interest now.

I am dying to see this since forever .

[amtro]

Here's a tip: Don't use google translations and if you do, don't let it be your only referrence.

[IceHism]

lol, why did kana ishida switch styles all of a sudden just for this cover? Maybe the novel is gonna take a big change as well?
