The current issue of Dengeki Bunko has revealed that a new light novel series will be serialised this year. The series will be written by Yashichiro Takahashi and illustrated by Noizi Ito, who have worked together in the past for the light novel series Shakugan no Shana.
The novel will be titled Kanae no Hoshi and will be written by Yashichiro Takahashi and drawn by Noizi Ito (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, The Guided Fate Paradox). The two have together worked on the series Shakugan no Shana, which ended with the 22nd volume in 2011. The series also received an anime adaptation from J.C. Staff (Toradora!, Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo), with the final series airing in 2011.
Here is a synopsis of the light novel:
The story centers around Kanae Sukue, a middle school boy who possesses “Sude no Michi,” the power to forecast destiny. The story begins when he is “chosen” by a girl named Soyogi of the Hoshihira Line.
Soyogi spends her time in a place called the Hoshihira Line. She teaches Kanae, a boy who has awakened his “half-opened eye,” the truth of the world. “Hain no Tesaki” (Hain’s minion, pictured far right) is a mysterious entity who possesses the “half-closed eye” which allows her to control the strings of fate. She brings about “Transi,” a great danger to the world.
Kanae no Hoshi will be serialization in Dengeki Bunko from August 9 this year. More information about the series will release in future issues.
