==Pic Questions==
 
Anyone knows from what illustration the picture in the right side of each volume? The umaibos and crown ones?
 
:All Dengeki Bunko novels usually have a picture of an item or a character who makes an appearance in the novel on the backside, and that's also where the Hakomari ones come from. [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] ([[User talk:EusthEnoptEron|talk]]) 02:42, 19 August 2013 (CDT)
 
 
==The Synopsis==
 
It feels like an advertisement, like the sort that would appear on a chain bookstore's window, which I feel is improper. [[User:LB Kasen|LB_Kasen]] ([[User talk:LB Kasen|talk]]) 02:01, 27 August 2012 (CDT)
 
:Agreed. Feel free to write one. Sadly, I suck at this kind of thing, but I remember seeing a decent one in one of those fake Anime previews [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] ([[User talk:EusthEnoptEron|talk]]) 02:04, 27 August 2012 (CDT)
 
::On a related note: there's a bunch of stuff on the front page that's sort of accreted over time - for instance, the description of Haruaki as a baseball fan is technically correct, but is also a bit off. (He's clearly a member of the baseball club/team, etc etc.) My guess is that circa 2010/V1, it was a quick description for a seemingly second-string character...That being said, there's a slippery slope wrt character descriptions and spoilers for V1+...one that I'm a bit too burnt out to negotiate at the moment. But others should feel free to tackle such issues :D [[User:Grrarr|Grrarr]] ([[User talk:Grrarr|talk]]) 02:28, 27 August 2012 (CDT)

I kinda have a little problem with that sentense.

:I think you got the sentence right. Mogi asks Haruaki how she can make herself avoid a certain person. Or how she can get the "feelings" of wanting to avoid that person, so she can subconsciously reject that person. Good luck with the translation, btw! :D [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] 11:13, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Is there an ETA for when translation on Volume 4 will be started now that Volume 3 is complete? --[[Special:Contributions/216.80.16.49|216.80.16.49]] 22:24, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

When it's done. :-) And since you asked nicely: Eusth still needs to read the book in the first place, so it should take some time until you get something translated.--[[User:Kadi|Kadi]] 00:21, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Nothing has been announced yet. Eusth posted in the forum today and said that it was not among the July releasesr. So if it ever gets released, it won't be before August or September.--[[User:Kadi|Kadi]] 11:04, 2 April 2012 (CDT)

Hi! I have a good new for you guys. THE VOLUME 5 WILL COME OUT ON JULY, 10TH !!!!!!!
 
For more info, google > "空ろの箱と零のマリア5 2012..2012"
 
^o^
 
 
Seriously??! If this is true I'm sooooo freaking happy!!! We're counting on you EusthEnoptEron and Kadi!! I can't wait for more Maria!! XD
 
 
Vol 5 is out... FINALLY~!! <3<3<3
 
: (^_^) BTW, I noticed the change in illustration. Is the illustrator different or does he just change his style?--[[User:Hypernova|Hypernova]] 21:44, 22 July 2012 (CDT)
 
 
I believe its the same illustrator. The main way to tell is the expression in the pictures (mouth & eyebrows), the eyes, and the crease under the eyebrow. EG:
 
v1: http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/images/3/37/UtsuroNoHako_vol1.jpg
 
http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/images/d/d4/UtsuroNoHako_003.jpg
 
v2: http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=File:UtsuroNoHako2_1.jpg
 
v3: http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=File:UtsuroNoHako3_4.jpg
 
v4: http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=File:UtsuroNoHako4_5.jpg
 
If you look closely in v4, you can tell the art changed subtly but more or less the same.
 
Now, v5: http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/images/c/c6/UtsuroNoHako5_1.jpg
 
http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/images/7/7b/UtsuroNoHako5_5.jpg
 
Expression, eyes, and crease are extremely similar. Its still Tetsuo , the drawings look more sharp now and for some odd reason Tetsuo really focused on making the charas look more mature. I was fine with Maria in v1 ^^
 
 
i waited so long for this. Thank you very much for your hard work :)
 
 
OMG the end of vol 5 is really cool, and it seems the story is almost near the end, maybe 2 or 3 more volumes. I hope you will translate them once they are all out! Thanks a LOT EusthEnoptEron for translating this great novel, I mean A LOT!!

: Originally, I only wanted to upload PDFs once the volumes are fully edited, but since that's not going to happen, I guess we could add some. For now, if you're interested in PDFs, you'll find some on BakaBT, indowebster, [http://sinisterspark.weebly.com/1/category/5light%20novelc704abb736/1.html here] and [http://arczyx.blogspot.ch/2012/01/utsuro-no-hako-to-zero-no-maria-light.html here]. Pick one. :D [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] 08:47, 6 June 2012 (CDT)
 
:: Slight update - PDF's of varying degrees of accuracy are already a done deal afaik, but that being said, fully edited volumes are likely going to happen. At a bare minimum, V1 will get there... [[User:Grrarr|Grrarr]] ([[User talk:Grrarr|talk]]) 02:31, 27 August 2012 (CDT)

I made some epubs today, [http://www.mediafire.com/?0h12i5uim0a5a here].
 
I couldn't test them on my ereader since mine just got rma'd, but it should work.
 
 
== Synopsis ==
 
I want to change the synopsis. For now, I'm planning on using an anonymous one I've found on the Interwebs as a basis to work on. Everyone is welcome to participate / propose a synopsis. Once everyone's satisfied (and I hope that "everyone" doesn't only consists of me :P), I'll update the main page.

:To be honest my memory of what happened in v1 became cloudy now, but I don't think "Kazuki Hoshino has unwittingly created the Rejecting Classroom" is accurate, isn't it? Also, mentioning "Rejecting Classroom" may itself considering a spoiler?--[[User:Hypernova|Hypernova]] ([[User talk:Hypernova|talk]]) 15:55, 27 October 2012 (CDT)
 
::You're right, but it's okay because he's accused of doing it for about the first half of the first volume. Of course, I wouldn't mind if someone proposed a better synopsis, though. :P I also spotted a nice one on TVTropes.

:::How about something like "Accused of creating (the 「Rejecting Classroom」,) an endless recurrence of time by using a wish-granting 'box', Kazuki Hoshino is confronted by Aya Otonashi..."? What is in the parenthesis could be left out.--[[User:Hypernova|Hypernova]] ([[User talk:Hypernova|talk]]) 20:45, 27 October 2012 (CDT)
 
 
== Synopsis Drafts ==
 
By using a wish-granting 'box', Kazuki Hoshino has unwittingly created the Rejecting Classroom, an endless recurrence of time. His antagonist, Aya Otonashi, is determined to end the loop and obtain his box, no matter what the cost. [the number of repetitions and lengths she has to go to.]
 
 
 
Waiting warmly for Volume 6. [[User:LB Kasen|LB_Kasen]] ([[User talk:LB Kasen|talk]]) 16:39, 9 February 2013 (CST)
 
 
 
== Volume 6 ==
 
rant: Am I the only one here who wished Daiya to kick the bucket? In the end... I felt he practically gave the finger to everyone. Or is it just me?
 
--[[User:Superduperelectromagnetictops|Superduperelectro]] ([[User talk:Superduperelectromagnetictops|talk]]) 18:30, 19 February 2013 (CST)
 
 
Irrelevant, but since it says Volume 6, Is his name Daiya or Daiyan? I noticed these two being used for one person. Is Daiyan intended or was it just a spelling mistake? I'll change all Daiyan to Daiya for now. --[[User:Stratos|Stratos]] ([[User talk:Stratos|talk]]) 01:24, 20 February 2013 (CST)
 
Edit: Nevermind, I looked at Volume 5 and there are also a bunch of "Daiyan" being used, however not for V4-V1. For now I'll take it as a nickname for him but if it is incorrect, reply to this. --[[User:Stratos|Stratos]] ([[User talk:Stratos|talk]]) 01:28, 20 February 2013 (CST)
 
:It's the way Haruaki has always been calling Daiya. -EEE
 
::Thanks for clarifying,did I miss that being mentioned somewhere in the volumes? Wow I cannot believe I missed that.--[[User:Stratos|Stratos]] ([[User talk:Stratos|talk]]) 07:15, 20 February 2013 (CST)
 
 
Wow, just notice that vol 6 was already completed! Thanks EusthEnoptEron! I can't wait for the next volme,and thanks for Tsukumodo too XD
 
 
== Commendation for linking direct links to support the original author ==
 
 
I am impressed that someone had taken the time to track down hobby sites where one could purchase a copy of the original book in Japanese. Thanks contributor. Now I have three websites I must bookmark to work on my Japanese.
 
 
==Question about punctuation==
 
What is with «»? Are these suppose to be some form of quotation marks? I have tried googling them, but Google brings up nothing.
 
*Short answer: there are a number of obsolete punctuation forms that EEE now deeply regrets using for the earlier volumes, but has yet to systematically clean out/replace. [[User:Grrarr|Grrarr]] ([[User talk:Grrarr|talk]]) 16:44, 30 May 2013 (CDT)
 
: More exactly, they're called "guillemets" or "duck-foot quotes". Basically, I used them whenever the Japanese text used one of their fancy quotation marks (there are lots of them), so they're meant to highlight key terms. [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] ([[User talk:EusthEnoptEron|talk]]) 16:52, 30 May 2013 (CDT)
 
::But just to confirm, you still want to get rid of them / transition over to a consistent quotation/emphasis method across all volumes at some (indeterminate future) point, right? [[User:Grrarr|Grrarr]] ([[User talk:Grrarr|talk]]) 16:56, 30 May 2013 (CDT)
 
:::Yeah, sure, I want to keep it English -- also in terms of punctuation. [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] ([[User talk:EusthEnoptEron|talk]]) 17:00, 30 May 2013 (CDT)

Anyone out there, do you have news about the final volume's release date? [[User:Angelanime|Angelanime]] ([[User talk:Angelanime|talk]]) 11:44, 23 April 2014 (CDT)

== Vol 7. Ch. 1 Image ==
 
Was there a mistake or did they use the exact same image used in Vol. 1? If there wasn't, we could use the translated image for Vol. 7 too :v
 
: The difference is the "Chapter 1" text on the right side of the picture (which is why I didn't use the translated one). Could merge the images though, but the new one is of better quality. :O [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] ([[User talk:EusthEnoptEron|talk]]) 23:26, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
 
 
== Vol 7. Ch.1 11,118th time ==
 
Shouldn't this be 11,188th? Otherwise it wouldn't connect with 11,189. Not sure if it's just a typo or something originally in the book. [[User:Chikafusa|Chikafusa]] ([[User talk:Chikafusa|talk]]) 14:15, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
 
: See [https://www.baka-tsuki.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=3161&start=885#p255228 this post]. It's in the source, but we don't know if it's a typo or intentional, so I left it as is. [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] ([[User talk:EusthEnoptEron|talk]]) 15:31, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
