FAQ post or something

[hiriajuu]

I suppose I'll make this a FAQ post? Ask me anything! Though I don't think there's much that's worth asking me.

EDIT: for any of you still hanging around here, note that 9th Ave has been providing fine translations at a regular pace, so hop over there for your textual No.6 needs.

This will either ruin the story for me or ... well, not.
But please put me out of my suspense and answer this question for me:
Does Nezumi (or Shion) die?
[and since this ist really really spoilery, please write a message .. please?]

PMed.

Please work, spoiler-fu...

Spooooooilery questions:

[Based on snippits floating around, it sounds like Shion leaves Nezumi behind or Nezumi leaves Shion behind, in some capacity. What is the nature of this? Is Nezumi hurt and asking Shion to go on without him, or does Nezumi have something to attend to before he reunites with Shion?]

Also,

[When Shion later waits for Nezumi's return, has he moved back to no.6 and/or reunited with his mother?]

Is this something you can answer?

God I hope the white-out worked. T_T Thanks a million. Your translations bring me so much joy.

You can send a PM if you feel like that's a better way to answer? But here if fine if you don't mind.

Requesting here since I'm also curious

Re: Please work, spoiler-fu...

[shirono]

I was going to ask your second question until your post. I'm interested in that as well, even though I think I know the answer.

Re: Please work, spoiler-fu...

Seems like everyone wants to be cleared up on the ending, which is no surprise. I don't think I can answer the first one, there's no short and direct answer for it. I might be able to do it in a PM, but it's really something more discussion-worthy than a discrete answer. I plan to write up a review of the novels soon and address the issue in there, so maybe wait until then?

As for the second,
[Yes. He's a member of the No.6 reconstruction team, so he should be living in the city now. He reunites with his mother in volume 9, but there's not really a scene of it, it's just mentioned.]

Out of curiosity, just how different looking is the anime version of Nezumi compared to his novel self?

[hiriajuu]

Well, we don't really have a "proper" design of novel Nezumi since all we have are vague novel cover illustrations. The only descriptions inside the novels are his gorgeous brilliant captivating etc gray eyes and his pretty face. But the designs are pretty different, mainly the hair. Novel!Nezumi has normal short hair while anime!Nezumi's got that ponytail. And it seems like Nezumi's always wearing gloves in the novels while I haven't seen anything like that in the anime.
You can browse the novel covers on Amazon or find old fanart on pixiv (though those might come with spoilers). Best I can say is that novel Nezumi is a lot more "standard" looking.

(reposted cause posted from the wrong account, I need to stop doing that.)

hello, i remember i have read a profile of nezumi, inukachi and others in some of the entries around 5 days ago...i searched for it again and i seem to not to find it, have it been delete it or it is just my mistake?

[hiriajuu]

Maybe you read it somewhere else? I never put up any translated character profiles here.

[juanir]

i'm reaaaaaaally curious and i want to know directly from a reliable source - you :D

will shion be with his mom and nezumi in the end? what happens to rikiga and inukashi? does no.6 still have its walls? there are different ending spoilers everywhere and i don't know which is true....pls do enlighten me :D

[hiriajuu]

This is a question that needs to be answered by PM, but it seems that you don't have PM enabled. If you want to know, change your settings.

[juanir]

oh...ok...i've changed the settings...(i think so) :D can you PM me too? :D TIA!! :D
