Happy new years.
New year greetings after a third of January is already over, 2017 must have finally ended yesterday in this man. By Dumuzid.
Last year, I was blessed by many opportunities such as the game, anime, and movie. (TL Note: I can't tell if these are singular or plural)
The staff lent me their strength, and the users gave me their support.
Thank you.
I hope to roll along this year too. Please watch over me warmly.
I have nothing more to add for the Xmas event that finished without any troubles, but I will answer the unexplained question of "Why was there a Xmas boom happening?".
At that time, the Underworld had the gates closed by malice and traveling into it was impossible.
So we should assume there was someone, a specialist of the underworld, who modded the rule of "If you give a sacrifice (or the equivalent), the gates will open", spread the concept of xmas, and invited Santa Claus, right?
Yes. Someone, for example, skilled at conversation and has irritatingly cute eyes -- Dumzid.
This doesn't need to be mentioned but the fancy body-line was derived from huke's sheep design. Yes, brilliant.

Some advertisements for the new year.
The first volumes of the official FGO comicalizations,
『Fate/Grand Order-mortalis:stella-』
by Shiramine, focusing on Mashu
『Fate/Grand Order-turas realta-』
by Kawaguchi Takeshi, focusing on Fujimaru Ritsuka
both released on the same day!
They both start from the same place. The blue sky they will reach is the same too.
But their journey, the answers they find will become different.
Really, these are great. They're full of manga-power and love for the source ematerial. Mashu is very mashumashu.
After they both finish Orleans, the plan is that Shiramine will go on to chapters 2, 4, 6, and Kawaguchi Takeshi will go on to chapters 3, 5, 7, and they will reach the final chapter from each point of view.
This too will be a long journey, but I ask for your support.
... Looking back to early 2017.
When I met the two authors and discussed each
, I was touched by their passion.
Shiramine, who made such a detailed plot that I thought "is this a scenario writer's overall structure!?", with a serious analysis for the story.
Kawaguchi Takeshi, with his deep understanding of the Fate series, is burning with his passion to write a shounen manga with Fate themes.
I rarely have a chance to discuss projects with mangaka, but it was very enjoyable.
I reconfirmed how age does not matters for creativity, and those with the same thoughts can become comrades in no time.
And as I watched over the two excitedly discussing the contents of Part 1 with a smile on my face, I was thinking
"But after this year, Chaldea will be destroyed! But I'm going to keep quiet about that for a bit longer!"
and didn't mention what happens in Part 2, I'm terrible like that.

I'll finish with the usual reports.
Other manga recs.
Both from Yanmaga KC Special "Mahou shoujo o matsu" and "Gleipnir"
Personally "Mahou shoujo o matsu" the one manga I really hope they keep going on.
This is a funny laid-back Jidaigeki Edo sightseeing Mahou Shoujo piece, drawn with an intentionally retro art style.
I don't even know what I'm saying myself.
The unique tempo is amusing, and you'll be soothed by O-matsu. Please pretend you've been fooled and read the 1st volume.
"Gleipnir" is a piece from the super power battle genre, but the theme and setting is unique.
When you read it, you feel this good slimy feeling down your back, a very rare piece.
It's not as noticeable in vol.1, but the unique attractiveness starts seeping out from vol.2
I also want to read this to the end, so I hope as many Denki genre fans as possible can read it too.
