Is the 12th Volume of Hot Gimmick really the final installment? Or did I read it wrong? I read the manga today at B&Ns after deciding not to read it. When I read the words:

"Final installment"

I was all: "O_o;; SRSLY?" // If it did end there, I felt that it was a tad abrupt. Or just very abrupt.

Yup. I do believe that's the final volume for the Hot Gimmick series. There is another follow up to the story which is Hot Gimmick S. Here's the book description from Amazon:

Think you know everything about Hot Gimmick? Well, think again! Hot Gimmick S, an original novelization inspired by the super-popular shojo series Hot Gimmick, boasts an ending that is completely different than how the manga series concludes. Hatsumi Narita, a somewhat indecisive coed, must navigate the choppy waters of company housing life and try to keep her love life on track too. She starts dating her extremely bossy neighbor Ryoki, but how will her dreamy older brother Shinogu feel about this? It¿s the ending that manga fans are dying to read and are bound to be talking about for a long time to come! Plus, a bonus, heart-pounding manga episode that¿s all about Hatsumi and Shinogu!

Here's the Amazon link. It'll be out in February 2007.

Haven't actually read volume 12 yet but I did read the translations and I'm glad the guy I was rooting for won Hatsumi's devotion. Here other choices were a bit... Eh! So I guess that's the only choice she could make.

Nah, the 12th book is the final book. I though it was a good run, though. They had a good climactic ending, and ended it. However, I hear that the mangaka made (or is making) an alternate ending for Hatsumi X Shinogu lovers. Yuck for that one, but it's out there. I don't bother with that, though. Ryouki was awesome!

LOL, Really you're Rouki fan? I'm more of Shinogu fan! (For me) it was kinda sad that it end it that way. But hey, I can't win every battle, right?
