ばか！バカ！　馬鹿ー月！

Just like the anime it seems the novels are a little out of order. I read them all because they are incredible but I'm just wondering what order they SHOULD be read in. Especially, which novel should be read after volume 9; the one where Sasaki makes her debut.

I suppose you should read volume 10 after volume nine.

what novel are ya' taLkin' 'bout!?

Seriously now. It's clear you're posting for the sake of posting, and that needs to stop.


To answer the original question; Read them in the order they were published. Simple as that.
=Smidge=

Yeah, that is what I did. I was just wondering what the order would be chronologically.

Someone did a chronological listing of the novels once, I can't remember what thread it was in though. If you're willing to spend some time with the search function, I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to find though.

The problem is many of the short stories are interlaced so far as where they fit in the main story. Vol 5 occurs accros the entire year, for example, while Vol 2 happens before the festival in vol 1, and live a live and Ep00Asahina Mikuru both occur during said festival. The series is chronological insanity.

Yeah, that's true. I'll wiki it. This series is one of the best though... I love Yuki!!! She is the best character ever!!! Well one of the best.

Guess nobody reads the project page anymore, or you all just missed the link next to where it says "should you want to read everything ordered by date". ^_^

* - filmed during Volume 2, shown ("off-screen") during Live A Live, but framing narration clearly happens directly after the latter

Of course, I still think they should be read in published order.

Oh, thank you very much. ^o^
