--- Quote from: HalfGrand on September 22, 2015, 06:19:10 PM ---I'm wondering about the CoLA entry of this magazine and how it will fit in with ZUN's original CoLA from long ago.
Is it going to be more of a reboot of CoLA or a continuation of that series? If it is indeed a continuation then I thought it was finished.
--- End quote ---
Reboots are part of the CoLA experience ;) . The old CoLA was published on and off over 4 years in five different places, and witnessed the death of two magazines and one website. Depending on your criteria, you can say CoLA had already been rebooted more than once. That's also why ZUN jokes about himself being a "magazine crusher". That's not even mentioning how much ZUN's own life and thinking had changed during the writing of CoLA. The stories from different periods in the CoLA book are as different from each other as they will be from the new chapters.
Plubio:
Thank you very much, cuc. The cover looks amazing, and I'm glad to see Arata again.
I'm waiting for this, I'm looking forward reading new CoLA.
Too bad I'll have to wait to October 5 to get my own copy.
Will be worth, though.
UTW:
The others seem to be Minato Hitori. Aioi Aoi, Haniwa, Mizutaki (also the artist of the random illustrations seen at the end of FS chapters), Suichuu Hanabi, and Totonemigi.
hungrybookworm:
Minato Hitori? Of "Marisa gets haemorrhoids" and "Let's make udon soup out of Sakuya's used bathwater" fame? This'll be interesting, lol.
I hope they make a poster out of that cover someday, so I can stick it on my wall and all the poor souls visiting my flat will get a face full of reimari hand-holding when they walk inside.

EDITED: OMG it looks like there are so much information on story and character of LoLK. The sad thing is I don't understand most of the meanings.
