I just received the August 2013 issue of Gangan Joker and to my great displeasure I did not find the epilogue to Tasogare Otome x Amnesia. I went back to the July issue and looked at the last page of chapter 45 again and sure enough, it says; "continued in the August issue".

I went page-by-page looking for any advertisements or anything else that said what had happened, but other than a couple of ads for the 9th volume there was no mention of Tasogare Otome.

So unless I am totally blind and it is "hidden away" somewhere, I am royally pissed at Square Enix for making me waste my money, not so much for the cover price but for the damn shipping cost.

This is no way to convince me to spend more money on Square Enix products...

"Ghostly ink"? <g>

I also checked the Gangan Joker official website and it didn't mention anything either. I wonder if the author reniged on providing an epilogue, or if they publisher just ran out of space in the issue.

Volume 10 will be thin with just what, 3 chapters? Perhaps they will save it for the volume or it was late. Space shouldn't have been an issue, they expand or contract the phone book sized magazines regularly.

Isn't it Amazon Japan that's charging the price?

Amazon Japan just sold me the issue - it is Square Enix that advertised the epilogue and then didn't include it without any explanation. I wouldn't have ordered that issue of Gangan Joker if I knew that the epilogue wasn't going to be included because there is nothing else in Gangan Joker that I like other than Dusk Maiden.

Still nothing? I'm beginning to believe that epilogue will never come.

Hpulley has the next issue on order, so once he gets it he will let us know if the epilogue is there or not.

It's the latest published thing in that shipment so I hope I have it on the 23rd, I really hope it doesn't end up being Monday...

I will let you know! Or if the cover image shows up on Amazon and it says something one way or another I will also let you know. Will check twitter and blogs too...

No cover up yet but the description on amazon does not list it so I am not terribly hopeful...

Epilogue is here! But that's not all! The final chapter is next month! So... do I tell MAL that there are 47 chapters? This isn't actually listed as Tasogare Otome x Amnesia chapter 46, it is chapter Kuchisake Onna 1... Mouth Torn Woman 1, hmm.

Next month we will get a center color (probably first and last pages) like chapter 45. I assume called Kuchisake Onna 2. Do I tell MAL it has 47 chapters?

Since we have 46 now I can put a summary in chapter 46 for now...

Maybe it should be listed as "Kuchisake Onna" instead...

Well, I think they are more chapter titles than anything though as I said it doesn't say chapter 46, it says it is the epilogue. So I don't think it is a 2-chapter spinoff or anything like that though honestly, if you read my 'summary', word for word really... then you'll see... that it is mostly like old times with the club aside from one difference.
