Having started serialization in the monthly manga phonebook Dragon Jr since April, Kaze no Stigma has finally been published in its tankoubon form! So, fans, rejoice! It’s in Japanese, I know… but I don’t think that should stop you from buying this. After all, the eye candies in the manga speaks louder than words
Interested parties can go buy them from amazon or yesasia :3 (I’ve already ordered it, but I’ll still have to wait for some time before I get my hands on it >_<)

The Kaze no Stigma extra chapter
In light of the tankoubon release, the manga showed an extra chapter instead of proceeding to the climactic part of the Misao arc (where Ayano made this resolve of going against Kazuma). They made a little spoof with the first few pages of the manga, where they make the audience see the “upcoming attraction” in the next chapter, but cuts the scene with a message from a neko (aka Nekomiya, the manga author) saying “In lieu of working for the tankoubon release, please allow me to take a break from [continuing] the main arc of the series -nekomiya” (lol)
And that’s just the mini introduction to this extra manga-original story they featured :3
Soushu once again gives this assignment to [matchmake] Ayano and Kazuma, where they are to stay in the place for three days and two nights (to spend the hot summer there… too bad we don’t get to see everything that happened within these days anymore :3) Ayano goes to Kazuma’s hotel and drag him to the job (naughty Soushu… he actually gave the key to Kazuma’s room to her *ahem* :p), and we see this scene similar to how Tsuoi Rin was waking up Kazuma in that flashback in the anime. Ayano gives up on waking up Kazuma and was about to leave, when…
Kazuma decides to become pervert despite being half asleep, and checks up on what swim wear Ayano has :p Ayano blushes furiously at what ecchi Kazuma did, but he reasons out that it’s something she’s going to be showing later on anyways, then pats her on the head. Ayano easily forgives Kazuma, until… he goes to another level and drags Ayano to sleeping with him instead. Just as Kazuma expected, Ayano gives him a jab, making him chuckle that he got to tease Ayano so early in the morning :p (but then goes back to sleep ^^;;; )
Ayano leaves and was about to go on the job alone, but was even more pissed to encounter many nanpas hitting on her (she gives them a good hitting instead). She vents out all her anger on Kazuma(‘s bed), as she finally uses drastic measures to wake him up. There seems to be some alien lifeform in the bucket Ayano was carrying (her “weapon”), but wasn’t able to notice it one bit. He gets an insult from Kazuma because of that, remarking how useless her “youma antenna” is (that little upright hair Ayano has :p)
They proceed with the job, with Ayano doing all the work while Kazuma stays in the background as if nothing’s happening. The youma turns out to be a pervert and strips Ayano’s clothes to reveal her bikini, which in turn led to its own downfall. With the rough day she had with nanpas going after her, Kazuma’s blow of insults together with the loss of her blouse and the skirt of her bikini all the more made her feel worse. It turned out to be such a bad day for Ayano and Kazuma surprisingly becomes sweet and does something to make her feel better. He buys some fireworks from some nearby store, and Ayano was touched (she’s easy to please :3)
Ayano’s fire comes in handy as she lights up the fireworks with it, and invites Kazuma to take a look “Look, Kazumaa~! Isn’t it beautiful?!” Kazuma can’t help but smile as he sees Ayano so happy. However, this sweet moment didn’t last long because Kazuma ruins the mood. He teasingly asks if this is “pay per view” then reminds her not to get all agitated or she’ll end up making a human campfire. Ayano gets pissed and hollers that it’s actually Kazuma who “fanned the flame” and made her angry ^^:;;

Just reminds you that the manga looks a lot more fun than the anime has been. Really get to see a lot more of pervert Kazuma here. Not to mention Ayano is actually wearing a variety of clothing and even putting up her hair :).
Again it’s impressive that Enraiha actually looks like a sword.
Pfftt… if this would be published in English I’d be the most delighted. Looks real fun ^^
Is there someone translating the manga?
The only info I know where to get about the plot is from usagi and she doesn’t spoil us enough! =)
I loved this ……Finally we see more of perverted kazuma(and he is so cute)
Damnit, I wish this was translated in english DX It seems waaaaay more interesting than the anime. More funnier and pervy than the anime will ever be
*lols at fanservise*
A pervy Kazuma is teh winn. And we actually get to see Ayano wear something different and look cute ^_^ I just seriously DIED LAUGHING when Kazuma took off Ayano’s shirt and then took her down with him to bed XDDD Damn, if only that was in the anime x3
FINALLY commenting works again. Yeah, what FlareKnight said. The manga looks more fun than the anime. At least, the visual designs are more appealing. Well, we already knew that way back when chapter one was released. The original story looks really interesting, too.
OMG sooo sweet..too bad that next week we are going to see the last of the kaze no stigma
i hope there will be more of this episode in the future…wanna see what is going to happened to Kazuma & Ayano
@FlareKnight: yeah… the manga is undeniably more superior than the anime. the anime doesn’t even compare with it, in almost all aspects… visual-wise, story-wise, entertainment-wise, etc
(the real book and not the scanlation :p)
@Me-who-loves-to-LOL: (boy is that a long nick :P) yeah, it’ll be great if it could be published in English X3 I myself am hoping it’ll be licensed to other people can get their hands on it
@Fried: I know there’s someone scanlating it… but they’ve only released 1 chapter so far, since June >.> And yes, I didn’t have time to post about what happened in chapter 3 and 4 of the manga (just some tidbits on chapter 4)
I really hope I can have some time to post about this ^-^
@melody: yesh, seeing perv Kazuma teasing innocent tsundere Ayano is always fun
Both Ayano and Kazuma are cute hehehe X3
@Tomochii-Chan: that’s the great thing about manga… the author is freeee to do whatever he likes with it. Change Ayano’s clothes and hairstyle to his liking~ real fun
I’ve given up hope that I’ll see this in the anime… hehe. The manga is more than enough :3 (I think we can hope that some other animation studio pick up KnS and do some OAV or another season of it, with the short stories XD)
@lightbringer: sorry about that commenting problem… *spanks herself* The manga is sticking to the original novel, and makes it even more interesting with the additional fun it adds ^-^
@kazumaXX: yeah… the final episode of the series~ >__< I’ll do my best and keep people updated with whatever scoop I get about Ayano and Kazuma, hehe :3 Love this couple <3
Oh, and just an additional note… Ayano calls Kazuma, baKazuma there when she was angry
it’s a pun! hehe
still prefer the light novels over either manga or anime.
@ghvcuyf: I seem to be preferring the direction the manga is taking with the Misao arc, showing how badass Kazuma really is. I just don’t like how they excluded the first arc with the Fuuga clan…
have you read the latest chapter?
I’m looking forward to your deep frying posts.. especially; kaze no stigma.. I really need to learn japanese or promfret must continue to scanlation of this manga :(.. thanks to your posts, my curiosity about the novel and the manga is increasing nonstop :).
btw “click here” is not working? it says “file not found”..
@irem: oh yeah… I removed that plugin we have for the flickr album.
go visit this link instead. I also updated the link in the post.
thanks for informing us about it!
does anyone Know if there will be a season 2 o the anamie
Love this anamie kazuma and ayano are such a sweet couple
@Nothing: No Season 2 is possible at this point, until the author gets back to continuing the main arc of the story. Unless the manga gets far ahead and overtake the novel, and the anime will base it in the manga instead. Nothing is certain yet at this point.
Seeing this seriously made me scream in delight:)) All these KazuAyano stuff make me a happy fangirl:)):)) Haha!:p Thanks
the manga actually is more ecchi than the anime. is it just me or does ayano’s bust look bigger in the manga?? well i suppose more fanservice for the fanboys!^_^
@Shanice: hahaha. nice to see more KazuAya fangirls~!
@beingmeyuki: it is more ecchi, and I like it >3 and yeah, Ayano is actually busty. The manga just balances things out… we have more fanservice with Kazuma, and the guys get some fanservice from Ayano. LOL.
@fanservice with kazuma? me likey! LOL! now i’m looking forward to a group scanlating this ^_^
@beingmeyuki: more groups need to be tapped for this… the original scanlators who did chapter 1 seemed to have lost the drive to continue x__x
Damn, is there any one who knows where I can read all manga? rom the begining? I can’t find it anywere!!!! Please HELP ME!
