#servamp guidebook

[tsurukunichan]

If possible can you do servamp guidebook english translations , especially for question n answers part ......

Sure, although I'm more of an listening translator instead of reading, so I can only share the tidbits I find interesting (and sorry that it's mostly Mikuni)

Read here! I find sharing my gdocs would be neater than a long tumblr post ^^;

Also feel free to kindly correct me if you find any mistakes. And I'd like to thank @kitty-ashh for sharing the QnA pages 🫶

Hai anon!!! Thanks for the ask, and sorry for the late reply!

I actually found the guidebook through a post someone shared! Their @ is @kitty-ashh !! Thanks to them for sharing the pages<3 and I think there's a google doc somewhere with a little bit of translations!

I'll reblog once I find it<3

The Servamp Complete Guidebook

I looked over the guidebook and OMG, it has about 16 pages of questions that sensei has answered!

There are so many! It will take a long time if I were to translate the questions and answers.

Another feature of the guidebook is the timeline, so if you want to look into specific events, it's very useful because the volume and chapter numbers are listed for them!

The character profiles have extra information such as the last part which says "Things I want to try someday".

In Mahiru's case, he wants to travel abroad.

What I noticed for some character profiles, particularly the non-Japanese ones is that they don't have their country of origin listed like in the first guidebook.

Some of the parameters have changed. The ones that are same like in the first guidebook are physical strength, tactics, cooperativeness and mental state. in the first guidebook, the characters had a parameter for their appearance but now they have agility.

The last parameter for each character is basically a personal trait.

I'd say that "strong suit" can be an appropriate term.

For example, Mahiru has a 10 out of 10 regarding "trust in his partner". in the first guidebook he had ""careness".

So yeah, the guidebook provides plenty of lore. I'm grateful for Tanaka-sensei for making such an awesome guidebook for the fans!

Not me crying over the Q&A section of the guidebook— the stuff below is absolutely not everything, just the parts I enjoyed the most.

-Oh my god, there is an alignment chart for a bunch of the characters showing “Popular VS Unpopular, Receives lots of valentines VS Doesn’t receive many valentines”. Iori and MIkuni are the two most popular characters (with Lily in close third) but Mikuni is slightly more popular than Iori. Iori, however, receives more valentine gifts than Mikuni (but they are both extremely popular. That’s that trust fund money at work, baby.) Touma is very popular, but doesn’t seem to get many valentines lol

Other alignment charts:

-Housework skills and frequency of chores performed (Mahiru wins at this chart obviously lol. Yumi is second place after Mahiru.) Iori is apparently awful at house work and doesn’t do it often, I’m assuming he has a cleaning person. Touma is amazing at house work, but doesn’t do it much. Tsurugi does tons of house work… but is apparently terrible at it lmao.

-Muscle capability/strength and weight. Hugh and Misono are the lightest and “softest” fighters lol, while Tsurugi is very light but incredibly muscular/strong. Ildio is the heaviest/strongest fighter. Iori is fairly “light” and not very strong, and Touma is stronger/heavier than him by a fair bit. I’ve always wondered about that, so I’m happy to have this chart.

-A chart showing “high energy when drunk” versus “falls asleep” and also alcohol tolerance level lmao. So Nico is the one who gets the most smashed when drunk, but his alcohol tolerance is very high. Touma comes in second place, with Gear and Otogiri in third/fourth. Yumi has the lowest tolerance, but gets incredibly energetic when drunk. Mikuni has high tolerance, but gets really sleepy when he’s drunk. Iori has poor alcohol tolerance levels, but he gets sleepy when he’s drunk instead of wired. And I love that for him… I love that for myself 😭

That’s all for alignment charts!

-Tanaka confirms Iori receives the most valentines gifts, but pretty much all of them are obligatory. That makes me sad ;u;

-Iori plays the violin. Which is not shocking in any way, but it’s nice to have confirmation c:

-Mikuni and Tsurugi apparently have the most horrendous handwriting skills out of everyone by a long shot lol

-Mahiru dreamed of becoming a teacher when he first entered high school ;u;

-Mahiru was 7 years old when his mom died.

-Iori was the one Tooru was talking to on the phone when he and Mahiru met Tsubaki at the sushi restaurant. He was also the one on the phone with Tooru when he was bragging about Mahiru during that one flashback. Which isn’t really relevant to anything except I love how Tooru openly discussed Mahiru with Iori and Iori was just like, ah yes… Touma’s son… I mean, Tooru’s adorable nephew.

-Tanaka confirms Misono continues to grow taller as he becomes an adult lmao

-Misono was 9 when he made his contract with Lily.

-Tanaka talks about how Mikado loves Mikuni, but it doesn’t always seem that way because he was also afraid of how smart Mikuni is

-Mikado knew Mikuni had gone to C3 after running away, and specifically asked them to protect him. Mikuni was in C3 for about three years.

-Tsurugi was affected by “My Fair Lady” because even though he had only killed vampires up to that point, he carried the guilt of having killed someone. Mikuni looked shocked when Tsurugi began to choke because he didn’t think Tsurugi had actually killed anyone until then.

-Mikuni left C3 just before he turned 20, and opened his shop a year later.

-Mikuni and Tsurugi specifically don’t like being addressed by their family names, because… well, you can imagine lol. So they prefer to be called by their first names.

-Mikuni opened a shop because he wanted a place to store all of the magic items he had collected over his travels. He also wanted to put up a false smile in front of C3 to put them at ease about what he was getting up to.

-Mikuni was seven when he proposed to Hokaze 😭

-Mikuni loved Misono a lot and would stop to play with him whenever he wanted 😭 😭 STOP

-Oh my god, Mikuni would force Jeje to perform difficult jobs in order for them to get enough money to travel abroad, where they would then sell magic items to other magicians around the world. He’s such a prick, I love him so much.

-Apparently, Johan showed up one day in Mikuni’s shop and just started doing whatever he wanted and that’s how they met. Lmaooo.

-Jeje receives blood from Mikuni sometimes, but only after Mikuni himself has put it into a container.

-Tetsu’s other sister is a shogi player and her name is Kaoru (Oh, sure, SHE gets a name 😤 )

-Apparently Licht introduced Lawless to his parents as “the demon I purified” and his parents are just happy he’s found a friend ;u;

-Freya feels she gets along best with Lawless. Lawless apparently disagrees.

-Tanaka gives a scale of “mental degradation due to magic abuse” stages.

Stage 1: You can hear people but can’t make out what they’re saying.

Stage 2: You start to hallucinate faceless people.

Stage 3: More hallucinations and memory confusion.

Stage 4: Retirement

She also notes that during stages 1-3, a magician can recover over time if they don’t use their magic. I’m assuming stage 4 this isn’t possible, and I’m pretty sure that’s what stage Iori is at now, since he even mentions retiring in the final chapter. But that’s not explicitly stated.

-Tsurugi’s mom hid the fact she had a child. She left Tsurugi behind after she found another man and ran off with him.

-MIKUNI, APPARENTLY, DOES NOT PROTEST THE SIGHT OF TSURUGI. He is fine with how Tsurugi looks. It’s only when Tsurugi is speaking that Mikuni wants to fling himself into the dark void.

-Someone asked how Akira and Touma got close, but Tanaka only says to leave it up to everyone’s imagination

-Confirmation that Touma had feelings for Akira, and wasn’t the kind of person who would date someone for the sole purpose of hurting someone else (like Tooru.)

-Touma’s scarf is a magic item that makes his invisibility magic stronger apparently

-Touma was angry that Iori saved his life and he owed a debt to someone he deemed the worst type of person. But while he was crashing at Iori’s apartment, he was free to use anything he wanted apparently. Don’t know if that’s info I needed, but I’m happy to have it now.

-When Gear and Touma were staring at each other in that one popularity poll page, Touma was apparently thinking “So this is the werewolf Tsurugi is related to…” While Gear is thinking, “So this is Tsurugi’s brother… that makes him my grandson, too.” PLEASE. GEAR, TRY CALLING TOUMA YOUR GRANDSON. I would die to see that played out lmao.

-Confirmation that when Touma said, “I’ll drag him down!” In that one flashback, he WAS talking about Iori. I knew he was, but it’s nice to have the cold hard proof lol.

-Touma took on Tsurugi’s debts, and Tsurugi pays him back.

-Touma became the vice president at 33. At 33?!?! Holy frick I didn’t realize his promotion from the combat team happened so recently compared to the series timeline. That’s wild. Iori took fifteen years to convince his mother Touma was right for the position (/jk on that last sentence)

-Yumi quit the archery team in high school because he felt he was following the path forced on him by his parents and older brother.

-Miyako and Kei met during a flight. Miyako was really worn down, and Kei’s kindness touched her heart and she quickly fell in love, so from that moment on, she pursued Kei with a lot of passion. I can’t believe we actually got an answer to that question 😭

-Miyako knew about Iori’s real plan the entire time. Which was pretty obvious, but confirmation is still nice.

-All of the Tsukimitsu kids cross dress when they’re drunk 😭 😭 But Iori is careful not to get blackout drunk in front of other people. Bless you for this little nugget of sustainment.

-A C3 agent who moved overseas couldn’t take their hamsters with them, which was how Iori ended up with them, and he just decided to keep them.

-Iori suspected Mikuni could be working alongside Tsubaki when he met him in the control room, but he didn’t know for sure yet.

-Shirayuki met her husband through an arranged marriage and he joined her family. He left C3 early on so he could better support Shirayuki’s schedule. So that pretty much confirms he was a househusband, yes? I think so 😌 (BUT HE WASN’T GIVEN A NAME, AAAAAAAAA—)

-Mikuni didn’t go to college. Shuhei did, and Touma went to college with Iori and Tooru. I love knowing that. I am so happy to know that ;u;

-Iori met Tooru in their third year of elementary school and they became friends after Tooru spoke to him. Tooru would try to talk to Touma in middle school, but Touma ignored him. Iori used to avoid Touma because he knew about Touma’s home life, but after seeing how much Tooru wanted to be friends with him and how hostile Touma was to them, he started becoming interested in him. (Bless Iori for being brave enough to admit his crush started when Touma was the first person to tell him to fuck off.)

-The three of them became friends because Touma was already on the combat team at 15, and when they joined C3 at 17, they wanted to get on the combat team as well. So they all ended up connecting in that manner.

-Working at C3 while a student was easy thanks to flexible scheduling, so the three of them were able to work at C3 and attend university at the same time.

-Iori and Tooru would compete in cross dressing competitions in high school, just like Yumi and Tsurugi 😭 bless

-They don’t typically drink so much that they get drunk. They know the party is over once Iori starts getting sleepy ;u; because he has low tolerance… adorable.

-Tooru likes simple soy sauce ramen, Touma likes tonkotsu, and Iori likes shio ramen.

-Iori, Miyako, and Yumi are all really good at singing ;w; Thank you, that’s good to know.

-In addition to Gear and Yotarou completing odd jobs, Yotarou has an online store where he sells magic clothes and items that he makes.

-Gear rescued a woman (one of Tsurugi’s ancestors) he had become friends with by using his powers to help heal her/bring her back to life. He was afraid what people would do to her/them if they found out about it, so he ran off before the woman woke up and found out what had happened. It sounds possible she had no idea she had been given werewolf genes in order to survive.

Does anyone know if they're gonna drop an english translation of the guidebook...

[ofcrossroads]

Lawless only made his friends subclass, and I think that’s hilarious. He runs the cool kids club.

Jeje choosing people with disabilities is really cool too.

[kitty-ashh]

can anyone translate Q/A's from servamp guidebook. Or atleast post pics of it ....

Oh I hope someone can translate it I used Google's live translation but it was mostly inaccurate and of course I can share Q&A!

TANAKA'S Q&A CORNER!!

If you got the order mixed up, I'm so sorry in advance🤧

[katzkinder]

Cover for the new guidebook has been posted!!! We’ve been getting so much smiling Kuro lately I’m so happy ;w;

According to the official account, the new guidebook will include awesome stuff like a timeline of the Servamp world (do we get dates for creation??), behind the scenes info about character creation, and even a Q&A section where Strike answers questions from readers!

We’ve also got the cover illustration for Strike Zone 3, which happens to be the wallpaper I shared previously that you could get from filling out the survey back in early October!

I dunno about you guys but I’m vibrating.

Both of these go on sale on the 27th of January and each has a preorder bonus

[rwbypro]

Okay fun fact in the guidebook Sagami is listed as being turned at 22, he is Hugh's subclass that is dating Mahiru's classmate Iyo!

The Servamp age gap agenda strikes again!!!

(also it's fuckin Wild to think about the fact that Iyo will be the first out of Mahirus other classmates to learn that vampires are real)

[childrenofthesun77]

As in the last guidebook (Servamp 10.5) we get some stats for every major character (Stamina, Tactics, Teamwork, Mental, Speed and a special stat for everyone), but while for a lot of characters the stats stayed the same we have other characters whose stats have changed either because of character developement or in other cases the stats of some of the antagonists have changed quite drastically because we learned that (especially in lily's case) most of their actions have been a farce and their true selves are very different.

Top 5 servamp ships?and headcanons for them? And tope 5 BSD ships,plus headcanons? Love your artstyle btw, its interesting to see how its changed in the two years

thanks! sometimes when i don't feel confident in my art i look at my old ones to see how much i've really improved

my top 5 servamp ships are:

tsurumahi: the moment it took two whole pages to show them holding hands i literally got down bad for them. headcanon that mahiru used his part-time money to hire tsurugi into learning how to cook from him. also mahiru's curry sometimes make tsurugi mentally regresses into a young child back when mahiru's mother would cook for him and touma.

chuuni3sloth pair: a ship born from the fact chuuni3 AND sloth pair comes in a package. when he finds out tsurugi is in love with mahiru, yumi pulls jun aside and says "you know what we have to do" and jun is like "hide the truth from tooru-san" and yumi, with horror, yells at jun "NO?! TALK HIM OUT OF IT" only to end up dragged into falling for sloth pair too

yumimahi: another ship born from tsurumahi. despite being the sensible one who tried to pull away from mahiru at first he ends up being the pervert who enjoys teaching kink and fetishes to mahiru. his taste is bad, by the way.

mahikuni: god i want mikuni to get elpis'd so bad.

lisono: their lack of content in canon makes me want to make so much stuff for them, especially when the guidebook makes it clear there are a lot of things left unsaid regarding lily's character

my top 5 bsd ships are:

Dazatsu: my very first bsd ship and holds a dear place in my heart. I don't think people will realize that though because I always make them breakup or fight which makes me look like a Hater. I think fighting will do them good. It will show no matter how hard he tries to push Atsushi away he will never let Dazai win be alone

Chuuatsu: I feel like Chuuya is the type who easily cares for others but he's tsundere about it. I want Atsushi to be taken as a collateral by Mori after DOA arc is done as a way to punish Dazai and Yosano for leaving his side and for Chuuya to take Atsushi under his wings only to realize Atsushi is in a similar situation he was in when he first joined Port Mafia

Shibuatsu: uhhh yeah I love yandere but especially if theyre pathetic. I want the govt to keep Shibusawa's skull and summon him to help with their investigation and he is ready to help as long as Atsushi kill him in the end <3

Fukufuku: I LOOOOOVE DOOMED YAOI that scene where fukuzawa admitted he accepted stolen snack from fukuchi is just chef's kiss. I'm gonna write them experiencing worse tragedy in Stray Gods. also most importantly fukuchi is straight and he doesn't know fukuzawa has a crush on him nurtured for years. not only that he also tried to play a matchmaker between fukuzawa and a girl from their hometown.

Odazai: ANOTHER doomed yaoi with one-sided crush from Dazai to Odasaku except not even Dazai realizes he was in love with his best friend. Back before I read "The Day I Picked Dazai Up" I thought Dazai put Odasaku on pedestal like a saint but it seems I was wrong since their first meeting just showcased how Odasaku managed to befriend Dazai by being a complete airhead who went unbothered by Dazai's mind games. He might still have done that after Odasaku died though.

[kyukicho]

// Good god, I'm crying reading the Servamp guidebook that recently came out. I can't believe Jeje's subclasses HATE Mikuni!

Both Bad and Good B listed him as their most hated person XD Mostly because he's a dick to JeJe who they both adore.

Servamp Manga's Finale Slated for December 13 With 1 More Volume Added https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2024-07-11/servamp-manga-finale-slated-for-december-13-with-1-more-volume-added/.213129

Servamp Complete guidebook questions and answers about the Alicein household.

The guidebook has many questions and it will take a while to translate them, so, here's just a fewand I chose the ones that are about the Alicein family.

To avoid spoilers, I'm not translating them in order and I wrote the ones I consider spoilers towards the end of the post, mentioning what chapter you should know before reading them.

In regard to the majority of questions, you should be familiar with volumes 3-4.

Let me know if the way I'm writing these translations is okay because I don't want people to get spoiled.

Q1: Will Misono grow taller?

A: He will.

Q2: How old was Misono when he made the contract with Lily?

A: He was 9 years old.

Q3: What was the name given to Lily by Mikage?

A: When Mikage passed away, the name was lost.

Q4: Did Mikado-san ever thought of inheriting the vampire of lust?

A: He probably did when he was a child, but it seems like he lost the desire for it around the time he got married.

Q5: What did Mikado feel about Mikuni while he was cast out of his home? It feels a bit sad to think that his love was only directed towards Misono…

A: It’s not that he didn’t have love for Mikuni, but I think, deep down, he was somewhat afraid of Mikuni, who had the eyes of a child that could see right through people.

Q6: I personally think Mikado-san is quite a terrible person, but what did the members of the Alicein family think of him?

A: They see him as a weak-minded person. However, since they also know that he has been a hard worker since childhood, they can’t bring themselves to speak too badly of him.

Q7: Did Mikado-san know that Mikuni was part of C3? Also, how many years was Mikuni in C3?

A: Yes, he knew and had even requested protection for Mikuni. Mikuni was in C3 for about three years.

Q8 is at the end of the post.

Q9: What was the name that Mikuni's mother gave Doubt Doubt?

A: When she died, that name was lost forever.

Q10: Does Mikuni's mother's family know about the Alicein family incident and Misono?

A: They’ve been informed to some extent.

Q11: Did Mitsuki-chan and Dodo go to school?

A: Dodo went up to high school and Mitsuki went all the way to college.

Q12 is at the end of the post.

Q13: What kind of business does the Alicein family publicly run? A: They are involved in the trade industry.

Q14: How many servants are there in the Alicein family’s mansion? A: Currently, there are about 20 people.

SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 125 and 127!

Q8: I thought everything had a reason and that I understood it all, but as someone without a musical ear, the only thing that kept bothering me was, what song Mikuni's mother's music box was playing.

A: "Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring" by Bach. It's a piece often played around Christmas, featuring a series of triplets.

(Note, in Japanese it says "3"を連符の続く. The number 3 is emphasized most likely because Jeje is the third Servamp.)

Q12: It seems that Mikuni's mother was betrothed, but are marriages between magicians common?

A: Yes, they are quite common.

[ghostingkai]

I finally braved the horrors of the post office & picked up this bad boyyyuyy

[pocket-luv101]

So, the last Official Servamp Guidebook/Artbook had parameters for the characters. I would like to see if they’ll get updated in the new artbook to show how each characters have improved. For example, Licht’s “cooperatives” can go from zero to one XD, or Mahiru’s “strength”/“tactics” can improve as well since he has come into his role as an Eve. Watch Hyde and Licht’s height change again because so many sources conflict with each other about who is taller XD

It would also be interesting to see the profile of more recent characters like Gear, Youtarou and Niccolo (and his mafia family). There will be trivia in the book as well.

I was going to pre-order the book on Amazon Japan but I can’t find it there. (I usually wait for an official english release but I’m afraid we won’t get the artbook translated so I might as well get them in Japanese). I’m always hesitant to use a proxy when buying manga overseas.
