Talk:Kazumi Magica
~~~~) at the end of your comment.Is it "Niko" or "Nico"? The scanlations use the latter. -Universalperson 14:23, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
Wait. Independent chapters?
I'm seeing Chapters One through Three of Kazumi on Mangafox. Yet the first volume is only coming out in May 12th? I am kinda nob when it comes to manga... so, does "serialization" means that these chapters are coming out in Kirara Forward each month, before they're packed together and released as a volume? BrickBreak 20:26, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
- Yes. Most manga series are published chapter-by-chapter each week or month in a magazine, with volumes being released whenever a set number of chapters is reached. 64.89.144.100 20:51, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
- In that case, should we add each chapter's release date? BrickBreak 22:04, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
- I believe a release date along with a summary of the chapters would be in order, with proper spoiler tags of course.
Runes?
I think there is some runic text in Kazumi chapter 1. Anyone have a translation? - Universalperson 13:23, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
- Do you have a scan or something? Might as well try and translate them, I'm pretty bored anyway. Also, we should probably make a page for them then, Runes:Kazumi Magica or something. --Homerun-chan 14:26, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
- I see them here, but suddenly I'm not sure if they were added there by the scanlators or not. There might be some here as well, I'm not sure. - Universalperson 15:08, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, the first one is obviously added by the scanlator. It reads "scanlated by /a/non for /a/non, raws from [something I couldn't read due to quality]". --Homerun-chan 15:24, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
- The mysterious characters on the second one don't look like any recognized runes to me. --KFYatek 16:51, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
- In case you're talking about "入口は？？", that's japanese. I can't make it quite out, but it should say something like "Entrance this way". --TATZL 16:57, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
- Oh my. I know enough Japanese to know what 入口 is, but it's such an obfuscated font I'd never tell it's kanji. Thanks for pointing it out! --KFYatek 18:28, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

- The last scanlator runeword matches the raw provider name in the watermark in the next page, and it's mixing archaic and modern.
- Thank you all very much, sorry for the inconvenience. - Universalperson 17:44, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Juubey?
Where'd you get this from? O.o BrickBreak 13:37, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
- It seems that scans leaked on 2ch. TATZL 13:48, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
- Now notice the shadow next to Juubey in the first panel. Juubey may not be an Incubator after all... -- Universalperson 14:02, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
- Jubey's definitely an Incubator. The girl on the second page (I forget her name) calls him/her/it "the fairy that made us into puella magi". It seems that Kyubey is present on the first page, though...--urutapu 16:30, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
- Exactly. Kyubey is a hive mind. Why would he need to talk to himself like that? I think the fact that it's a "fairy" is going to be a major point. -- Universalperson 16:34, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
- Even if there's a hive mind, that doesn't mean they can simply telepathically talk or instantly know what another Incubator is up to. Like the Human Interfaces in Haruhi.--urutapu 16:36, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Volume 1
Dumb question: I would imagine that since it's being released the same time as Oriko it might get lost in the shuffle, but is there anyone who's planning to look through it and see if there are any differences/additions to the original serialized chapters? -- Universalperson 20:09, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
- If someone will upload the scans (raws are fine) of the tankobon somewhere (preferably as some DDL, but torrent is OK, too), then I can do that. But seeing how Kazumi is rather unpopular, I'm not so sure of the scan availability. I don't plan on buying Kazumi myself. Not in the slightest. --KFYatek 20:40, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's what concerns me. I'd do it myself, if I could get the scans, but...--Universalperson 21:33, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
- It is? Uh... it's got half a million views in MangaFox, but then again, I guess that doesn't translate in the "Madoka is sold out EVERYWHERE" thing we had with the original manga. --BrickBreak 22:02, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
- It's more that I'm worried Kazumi will be ignored when Oriko comes out. -- Universalperson 22:07, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
