Are we in a weird parallel universe? [New novel detail.]

Gah. I'm very confused right now. >_< I've only gotten up to finishing the first chapter of COMO. (Can't read Japanese)

What happens to Kaname? A whole Novel without her? This makes me sad. T___T

well "Burning One Man Force" just finished, and kaname shows up only briefly in the last chapter

whereas TDD never showed up for once this book, "One Man Force" indeed

next month will be short stories again, hopefully only for a short while (no announcement on the next book on the main story)

ever since right before book four (continue on my own) started, Gatou commented on the whole story that it will likely conclude at book six, so the next book is supposedly the big finale, and we can count on everyone showing up then... can't wait >///<

Book four? Isn't COMO the sixth long novel?

I don't know, but it sounds like Full Metal Panic! is going to end too fast for my tastes.

I don't see how it's Full Metal Panic without Kaname. T__T At least she gets one appearance. Let's just hope nothing bad happens to her while she is held captive by Amalgam. >__<

I agree that the series may end a little too quickly. Rescuing Kaname will not be a trivial matter and would take up a fair chunk of the novel. That wouldn't allow for many Kaname and Sousuke school hi-jinks-unless they came in the form of short stories published later on.

That's what I was thinking. I wouldn't doubt that, either. Heh... Maybe even a few more specials, like the Cinderella one.

The Cinderalla story was good but I'd love to read a story about their blossoming relationship written by the original author. Reading fanfiction can only get you so far...

Well, that Cinderella story wasn't a fan fiction. It was an AU side story.

I'm honestly not sure where this story is going from here. Sousuke will most likely rescue Kaname in the next book or two. From there? Who knows? There's at least one other guy who outranks Leonard in Amalgam. Maybe he'll be the next big villain they face.

Frankly, I'm just fine with him ending the series after rescuing Kaname so long as we get some good closure with the story. Maybe he'll write something of an epilogue in the form of those short stories.

Sagara Sousuke-kun. Just do one thing.

KISS HER DAMNIT. AND THEN LOVE AND CHERISH KANAME.

Shouldn't you love and chreish before you go kissing someone (other than relatives)?

KashimArbalestAS · Post by **KashimArbalestAS** » Thu Sep 15, 2005 8:39 pm

Well, in essence and theory, the longer Gatoh can keep Sousuke and Kaname in seperate rooms, the Full Metal Panic! series will go on...

As much as I love FMP, I hope it doesn't go on forever. I want to see Sousuke and Kaname hook up. Then he can write about the chaos that ensues afterwards.
