Synopsis:
--- Now, let's kill the girl and save the world!
The world has been shattered. As a result of the most dreadful of diseases that afflicts only girls --- the 《Labyrinth Disease》. That's why the students are taking lessons. Lessons for the purpose of killing the girl. Learning magic, obtaining the map of the labyrinth, forming teams, and studying the weakness of the girl...... The time limit is 6 hours. If the girl isn't killed within that time, then the world gets destroyed.
"I have no interest in the world at all so please spare me. Frankly, it's really suffocating." Together with the one who said these words, the most horrible protagonist in history, enter the world of whizzing magic and surging youth.
A school fantasy in labyrinth raiding, begins here!

By: Kagami Takaya (author of Denyuuden, Itsuten, and Owari no Seraph) & Katou Yuuki (illustrator who also designed BlazBlue)

So, I have been meaning to release this project since late Jan. But as my proofer needed time, I delayed it. Unfortunately, my proofer (thanks to Tetsu-nii) has some RL challenges and has only managed to proved the prologue and chapter 1, and I told him that I'll go ahead to release it due to volume 2 coming out in March and I'll merge his proofs later, if he's still willing to do it. Anyway, I wanted to release it earlier this week before my biz trip, provided I managed to go over everything one more time (I've actually gone over everything a couple of times already and edited it myself numerous times before achieving a certain level of satisfaction). Unfortunately, I didn't manage it to find time to go over it one last time until yesterday. As I'd like to track the source of all edits, I've protected all pages so that only registered users can edit it. On another side note, comic serialization has begun in comic gene this month (15th, which was yesterday in my timezone). IMS will be scantalating it (though there's the issue of raws). Volume 2 will be on sale on 20th this month. Though I can't say for sure when translations will finish, and whether I'll be transitioning to a chapter by chapter release.

In any case, hope you enjoy this new series of Kagami Takaya.

Maybe the ATP tag is preventing the app from parsing the project properly.

The location of this topic... means a name change to Kagami Takaya's subforum is underway?

Shrug, I don't have the power to change the name.
It's more like for my own convenience (I can sticky it here :lol:). And hoping that other visitors will check out other series of his :lol:.
Also a good place to have series/characters comparison threads.

First post edited for 2nd PV.

And one reader convinced of reading the series. Not me, but a fan of LNs and Blazblue (easy argument, but well, it worked).

Usually the ATP tag doesn't prevent it from showing in the teaser section

Further translation seconded! The writing in this novel seems much smoother as compared to the other series, kudos to both the writer and translator!

Only browsed through v2. Got to sleep as I need to wake up early tomorrow. Bat-shit crazy things already happening in volume 2! Can't wait to read this volume properly for crying out loud!

V2 Pre-spoiler (please do not reply without spoiler tags if discussing spoiler):
Spoiler! :
Gunjou got the Labyrinth disease in v2!! And she's rank 42! Man, things are moving fast!
Kiri stabs Shinnosuke in the chest from behind towards the end of volume, despite the fact that it was Shinnosuke who asked Kiri for help to raid Gunjou-labyrinth. And time limit goes up. Last line: Gunjou starts turning into an Eternal Labyrinth!!
