I agree and it has been an idea that been proposed byt thus far no action has been taken. The author also stated that he will not be doing the 12K novels anytime soon.

Please refer to the link above for the English version of the story.

For most of us, the story of Taiki ended when he was found and later return to Tai to search for his King. How the story is still a mystery because the author HAVEN'T wrote ...

Isn't it a bit too much?

If the Ranka of Hou's kirin went to Japan or China. isn't it too much that out of 12 kirins that 3 is a Taika (If Houka did went to our world.).

As the passage below suggested, but it is too vague. It's becoming tiring if too many stories are related to Shoku and somehow they all came to our world ...

What's the story of Houka?

The ranka of Hou's kirin is still a mystery. Anyone have any ideas?

Some people say it's like Enki and Taiki, have flown to Japan or China.

Some people say the Ranka of Houka hasn't been created? But why? Is Tentei angry that the people of Hou kill the last Houki or something?

Sugimoto Yuka and Takasato Kaname (Taiki)

Rather than Hirose who even in the end cannot even understand what is happening to Taiki. With Sugimoto, maybe she can convince the shireis that Taiki is safe with her and they do not have to kill so many people to protect Taiki (including his family and classmates). Anyway, the Demon Child story of ...

I think the script writer will use Sugimoto rather than Hirose as the guardian for Taiki (Takasato) before being found. I rather no see that Taiki one will realise that his shireis has massacre his entire family in Japan. That will be crazy even for him.

Most likely the En-O (I think the writers ...

What about Hou's Kirin?

There is a strong rumour on the net that Houka, like Taiki and Enki has been swept away to China by a natural Shoku. As i understand, the Ranka for Hou's Kirin (Houka) has not bear fruit on the tree at Housan. So what the heck is happening? Which version is true or this is the direction of the ...

Big Question on Shoku in Anime

While it's understandable why the director want to create Sugimoto and Asano characters in the anime version of JK. But it created a huge problems concerning the characteristics of shoku.

In the book, only natural occurring shoku can bring haikyaku alive to JK. But it is a one way street, since ...

That's a tough question to ask.

Two possible reason, one is to stress the degrading experience and the fear while kowtow to a tryant. It makes the person doing inferior and even you want to rise up, you have pay it with your life.

Another is to bring home the reason for Nakajima to ban kowtow is ...

Other Kingdoms

On Kingdom of Ryu,
We can see the King of Ryu while he is interogating Shokei and know he is corrupt. They also never reply about En's request for help in searching for Taiki. Speculating that the long absent of kirin and appearance of youma at the borders signify that the kingdom is failing and the ...

Kokan and Youma

For the issue of Kokan, the idea of Kokan removal is pretty much the main idea but replacing Gaho is a risky move as Gaho's reputation will soon or later reach Kei-O. However but saying he has bad reputation but no evidence against him, he places himself as a good official and still control Gaho. In ...

I haven't read the book version yet but from the anime version the Ranka of Hou's kirin (Houka) has yet to be born, which is very surprising.

Maybe both

I think Hirose will make a great character in the anime but they may decide to write him out in favour of Sugimoto. The book's version wasn't pretty about Taiki while he was in Japan.

His classmates died and whole family massacred by his shirei along with a few reporters. Very dark chapter in the ...

JK world is flat

If you follow the book version, it is flat. It was proven when Nakajima reach the port town of Ko (before leaving for En) and scan the horizons and saw the world is indeed flat.

Thus she knows if the world is round she should be able to prove it by scaning the horizon and see the movement of ships ...

Character Building

The character Asano and Sugimoto was added to help build the character of Nakajima before he went to EN. If they follow the book's version of the story, it whole story will just focus on Nakajima alone (too much flashback) which is very hard and dare say boring for the viewers to follow.
