Frequently Asked Questions

When is the next season of the anime coming? - There won't be one. Unless the studio decides to adapt the novels, which is unlikely, they don't have enough source material left to make a full season out of it.

Will Saiki get more manga chapters? - The manga finished in 2018. It's unlikely for Asou-sensei to continue this project after concluding it.

Where can I read/watch...? - Re-read this post - I've linked EVERYTHING I could think of. Just click the hyperlink.

Is Kusuo transgender? - He's a shapeshifter who turns into Kusuko when he needs to or gains from it. It's only technically canon as he left the womb as a girl, but it's only a result of his shapeshifting powers. He immediately changes to male - the gender was assigned before birth. If you want to headcanon him as transgender though- go ahead.

Is Kusuo aroace? - Canonically no, but it's a popular headcanon.

Happy New Year - An Illustration from Asou-sensei!

"Happy New Year! I used some tricks to make it look like New Year's even though it was a New Year's Day illustration. I'll do my best this year! Happy New Year!" ~ Asou Shuuichi

The fighting (battle) strength ranking is:

Teruhashi(*)>Kusuo>...>Kuboyasu>Toritsuka(**)>Matsuzaki(***)>Hairo>Mera(****)>>>Kongou>Nendou(*****)>>>Takahashi>>>Kaidou(*****)

[Explanations + information about Kuusuke below]

*A commenter asked if Teruhashi would be the 2nd strongest (below Kusuo), as it seems like she could beat everyone with her cuteness, to which Shuuichu Asou replied saying that she might even beat Kusuo.

**Toritsuka is only ranked so high when possessed. Normally he's as strong as Takahashi.

***Matsuzaki is about on the same level as Hairo.

****This placement is referring to Mera's when she's 'wild'.

*****Nendou is low, because he's too kind-hearted to fight.

******Kaidou is so low that it'd be easier to count from the bottom.

*******Kuusuke has never been in a fight, so he's probably just average. But because he was able to fly the Möwe (the flying machine from chapter 106 that's a reference to a Studio Ghibli movie) and an off-road bike, he seems to have a decent physical ability.

It's been two months since I've started my journey to translate Kanata Seven Change. I've decided to get a break from this big (for me) project. Instead, you can expect a translation for Our Hero Studies: Chapter 4 in a very near future.

The previous group that worked on this series no longer exists, and it's been 15 years since the third chapter was published online.

I've decided to pause works on a nearly finished Kanata Seven Change Ch.1 to work on the unfinished translation that has been left to rot throughout the years.

I hope these news will excite some. Don't worry, Kanata Seven Change won't be discontinued. Chapter 1 is around 75~80% done. >:)

The Disastrous Life of Saiki K: Extra Stories of Psychics, Volume 2

Intermission Guest Chapter 1: That person right now

Every autumn, the PK Festival takes place at our school. Apparently this year marked the 31st time. However, the number of visitors seems to be different from usual.

This is something I found out later, of course, but apparently they’ve kept track of the number of visitors in the past.

Usual visitors to the festival include the students’ relatives, as well as neighbors who live close by, and even students from other schools. The festival takes place from Saturday to Sunday. However, when compared to other years’ festivals, ours apparently had a higher number of visitors than was expected.

We enjoyed great weather this year, and our festival’s schedule didn’t collide with events from any other school. These perfect conditions were part of the reason why we received so many visitors, but they weren’t the most important.

In reality, a particular rumour had been spreading online about this year’s PK Festival. It was just a single line of text, but that very line was the main reason our number of visitors increased considerably. And what that text read was the following:

“I heard Aoki Kanata will be visiting PK Festival.”

Aoki Kanata is the protagonist in “Legendary Idol New Generation: Kanata’s Seven Changes”, and he’s a handsome adult man. However, his true dream is one day becoming a famous comedian, and he’s willing to do all sorts of ridiculous stunts to get some laughs. Of course, this is only known by himself, espers, his manager, and our readers.

I’m sure many Aoki Kanata fans would be greatly disappointed if they found out their favorite singing and dancing idol in fact wants to be known as the filthiest comedic idol.

They’re better off not knowing anything about his real personality.

However, those same fans are also incredibly stubborn, believing a completely random text online without a source, and hanging onto it for dear life. I must admit I was taken a bit aback by that.

But they’ll still hold onto that text even if it turned out to be a fake rumour, and so plenty of Aoki Kanata’s female fans ended up visiting PK Festival.

That unverifiable rumour spread around the festival like a wildfire.

I was walking around the first floor with Nendo, Kaido and Kuboyasu. Everything from the classroom doors, the walls, ceilings and even the lamp posts was decorated, and the entire school had a festive aura. There were signs inviting visitors to each class’s unique activity.

By the way, my class did a plain and boring exhibition of the best rocks we could find in the school garden.

Or I guess you could say I had them do that with my superpowers. Members of any club or the student council will have to go there and help during the school festival, which means that students with no extracurricular activities like me will be forced to take care of everything if we end up setting up a stand or a shop. With an exhibition, all we have to do is take turns to stay in the classroom and watch.

That’s why I’m able to do basically anything I want during the school festival. That being said, all that freedom is only good for visiting other high school students’ activities, anyway. Buying something to eat or to drink would end up being too expensive, and idling around any other expositions will get quite boring in no time. To be honest, I would much rather spend these two days at home eating coffee jelly and watching some movies or something, but if I did that, I’m sure my fellow students A (Nendo) and B (Kaido) would start throwing a ruckus about not being able to find me anywhere. That’s why the only thing I can really do is walk around the school festival with no particular purpose in mind.

I sigh quietly.

Even if I try to look around for something interesting, there really is nothing that catches my attention.

A haunted mansion, a café, baseball, a haunted mansion, a café, a haunted mansion, a café, a haunted mansion, a haunted mansion, a haunted mansion… it’s all cafés and haunted mansions?!

Why are they all clumped together on the same floor? The student council should’ve planned out the festival’s layout a bit better. Look, there’s even a haunted mansion café right there. Knowing all floors might be the same thing makes me want to go home. If only there were at least a coffee jelly shop or something…

I hear a group of high school girls talking as they walk past me as I’m still thinking about the coffee jelly.

“So it was a fake rumour in the end?”

“Ah, this sucks! Why didn’t he come?”

It seems like they’re from a different school, based on their uniform. Several of them keep walking together. I’m guessing they’re Aoki Kanata fans that came here because of all the rumours circulating online.

“And here I was excited that maybe he was going to appear on stage or something…”

“But there’s only this terrible band playing. This sucks…”

“I heard they suddenly started playing better at the end, though.”

I see. So they thought Aoki Kanata was going to make a surprise guest appearance at the end of the performance and that’s why they came here. I guess it’s true that there are several performances planned for today with the light music club, the traditional music club and the ballad club performing on the outdoor stage, as well as the trivia contest and the bingo event planned inside the gymnasium, but there’s still no way such a big idol would perform here in the first place.

You really think our school has a huge budget for something like that? I could see us at best getting a contestant from a popular reality show or something.

Besides, even if we somehow had the budget, I really don’t think a popular idol like him would take time off his schedule to visit a random high school’s culture festival. And even if he somehow wanted to visit the festival undercover during his off time, I doubt his managers would just let him show up like that.

“Ugh… I’m getting sick of all the haunted mansions.”

“I know, right? Wanna leave? Doesn’t seem like there’s anything fun to do around here.”

They said this while staring at the entrance to one of the several haunted mansions, where an off-duty student dressed as a ghost was laughing and joking around loudly with his other classmates while eating takoyaki.

You shouldn’t be laughing and acting all giddy in front of your potential customers while you’re still dressed as a ghost!

However, this sight is completely unremarkable.

I’ve seen countless students taking it easy, or doing completely mundane tasks around school. And it’s not only the ghosts, I’ve also seen students in maid uniforms or anime cosplays. Not just in front of their classroom, but also going to buy something to eat, or simply walking around without taking off their costumes. This is exactly one of the reasons why I wanted our class to do an exhibition and not an activity or a stand.

I wanted to avoid having to dress up in a sloppy costume and walk around school.

Take, for example, this student that just walked past me. He was wearing a flashy wig and some cutesy maid dress with frills. He’s supposed to be pretending to be a female maid, but he’s wearing no makeup at all, and his costume looks cheap. With that kind of effort, he’s no more than a regular high school boy with a cheerleader’s pom poms on top of his head. Walking around school looking like that is just not for me.

At the very least, he seems to be having a lot of fun, and the customers’ reactions around him are also quite good. That’s the silver lining. Otherwise, it would be a truly miserable display.

I guess that’s what you’d call the other male student that’s currently walking down the hallway…

He’s wearing a pro-wrestler mask, a ballet tutu with a swan head that pops out of his crotch, and a shirt with sloppily cut holes around his nipples.

All the high school girls let out tiny shrieks as they see him walk by, and they pull others out of his way.

“Wh-What’s that…?”

You could see several high school girls trembling.

“Le-Let’s go home…”

“Yeah, you’re right… Besides, that weirdo showed up and everything…”

“I’m sure it’s just some kind of costume, anyway…”

And so the high school girls start leaving the festival.

“Aw… and we didn’t even get to see Aoki Kanata.”

Several of them were muttering as they walked away.

Good grief, you people really say the strangest things. You just walked past Aoki Kanata himself a moment ago.

Though I have to admit I was quite taken aback myself. I never imagined all those rumours circulating online would turn out to be true.

I turn around and look at Aoki Kanata’s figure in disguise as he walks past me.

“Laughing is the most important thing there is!”

After the 2 whole days of researching and editing The Ultimate Saiki/Asouverse diagram is finished!

This diagram connects every link between all of Asou Shuuichi-sensei's manga - thus creating one big universe. Enjoy! Some entries are just silly references, but I've decided to count them in anyway!
