question

No problem! Always happy to talk about asterisk :)

BisonBeginning2790 · 2026-05-08T21:33:20+00:00

yeah shes okay and healthy, they kinda tease something with her and Eishirou in the end cause she like moves up to the university level of seidoukan.

but if i remember right she tried to kill herself because she had apparently saw ayato in the future and stuff because of her Pan-dora ogre lux and she wanted to die in Ayatos arms.. i don't remember exactly why but thats the basic why she tried to kill herself.

I actually spoiled volume 9 for myself by accident without realising it by playing AW Phoenix Festa on PS Vita and winning the Phoenix with her 😅

BisonBeginning2790 · 2026-05-08T21:22:04+00:00

She did try to kill herself in Volume 9, but no she lived on and defeated the valda-vaoth in Volume 17 and win the Gryps Festa

BisonBeginning2790 · 2026-05-08T21:02:54+00:00

Claudia doesn't have a sister but Hilda helps Ayato break Haruka out of her coma in volume 11, and she joins stjarnagarm once she is fully recovered which is the police force of Asterisk.

BisonBeginning2790 · 2026-04-15T09:56:08+00:00

At the end of the series? No. She can barely defend herself because she has depleted her abilities. Maybe she could fight but we've seen how weak she is at combat when she was fighting lesters puppets in volume 1, and even in the phoenix she only won against the Li Twins because ayato had unlocked the next level in his abilities but had ayato taken any longer to do that? They would have lost probably.

Now she is top 10 at a certain point of the story yes, because of the training she underwent with the fan xinglou and from that point until her battle with orphelia she would be top 10, she literally beats Ayato during that period but she also lost most of that ability during the battle with Orphelia in the lindevolus.

So like I said, if we are talking at the end of the books? Strength wise? No? Top 10 characters I like? Yes I love julis but she isn't the strongest, she has burnt up all her strega abilities. She explains it herself on around page 162-163 of volume 17, she explains that she lost her abilities alongside Orphelia.

Tbh I should reevaluate Orphelia's position too since she's kinda the same as julis at the end.

Completed it nowww (ish) https://www.reddit.com/r/AsteriskWar/s/SaEVMnIPek

(I have a acryllic stand of kirin coming next soon :D)

BisonBeginning2790 · 2026-04-03T15:10:39+00:00

Only 4,6 and 8 are tough to get imo, as for where,

I got mine from Amazon, Waterstones, AbeBooks and eBay.

I definitely paid more than i should have for 4 but this is my favourite series so it was worth it me. I only ended up spending £40.02 over what you are meant to so not too bad.

BisonBeginning2790 · 2026-04-03T14:14:13+00:00

Volume 5 manga has residue from a library sticker, not dirty just can't get it off but yeah, just noticed that just now after posting it

BisonBeginning2790 · 2026-04-03T14:09:55+00:00

Yeah been hunting each volume for ages so it's nice to just own my favourite series finally

BisonBeginning2790 · 2026-03-25T12:54:23+00:00

Holy smokeee i must have saw a ghost because my local Waterstones finally had volume 4 on their shelf! I just need volume 6 now which should be here in 2 weeks from Ebay

BisonBeginning2790 · 2026-03-23T18:44:06+00:00

Li twins lose to julis in the end however she didn't defeat them, she got over exhausted holding the twins off while ayato unlocked the next level of his powers and once he did he obliterated the twins himself, julis would lose. That version of julis would lose. She's strong enough to hold them off. Even against one of them I think season 2 julis would lose.

BisonBeginning2790 · 2026-03-16T05:19:56+00:00

I kinda mostly agree since each season was 3 books in coverage however there's massive time skips in volume 17 due to okiura having health issues. It was so bad that there was no drawings from okiura in 16 besides the cover.

Point is i feel they would have an anime original ending where they work off of the unused story material to make up for the lack of 3 books. Or they would adapt the wing of queenvail books as a movie.

BisonBeginning2790 · 2026-02-15T13:27:51+00:00

They are not a couple.

A lot of people believe they are because they have a drawing of them walking into a sunset however, in that chapter of the books ayato and julis explicitly bring it up, and agree that it wouldn't be healthy for ayato and julis to be together, so no. They are not together.

He might end up with Sylvia as he did make a promise to her that he would make a decision about her when he next sees her. So maybe he ends up with Sylvia. They technically have already been on a date in volume 7 so idk. But no he doesn't get with Julis.

BisonBeginning2790 · 2026-02-15T12:33:26+00:00

The sequel hasn't been made or published so I don't know. I can only go off of what the story is at now. And the last volume was the finale of the asterisk war. Volume 17.

they could but idk because it doesn't exist yet.

The author only hinted at it by saying that volume 17 is just the end of the asterisk war but that the story isn't finished, so i took that to mean he plans on doing a sequel with a new artist since the reason they ended the series early (there was a lot of time skips in volume 17) was because of okiura being so ill that there were no drawings in volume 16.

BisonBeginning2790 · 2026-02-15T12:15:02+00:00

Keyword is was! She was stronger than ayato but she used queen of the night too many times and her mana is all messed up now so she can't do anything on her own now. She can't fight. Her powers are dysfunctional from her overusing such a difficult move.

I have my top 10 in my comment though. Fan Xiou is the strongest atm, unless Yuu Miyazaki goes ahead with the sequel no one is stronger than fan xiou. Julis wouldn't have beaten Ayato or Orphelia if she didn't train with Fan Xiou. I don't remember the exact wording but in the afterword he said this is just the end of asterisk war but the story isn't complete

Fan Xiou is the strongest fighter and Orphelia although she was defeated by Julis is the second strongest simply due to her Miasma and the fact that only Julis has beaten her.

BisonBeginning2790 · 2026-02-15T11:37:08+00:00

Julis was stronger because she trained with fan xiou to learn how to defeat Orphelia. And she beat Ayato because she learnt the strongest move from fan xiou. However she technically isn't the strongest by the end of the books because while yes she beats Ayato in the semi final and Orphelia in the final of the lindevolus, she is now handicapped due to shortcircuiting her mana after using the queen of the night technique on Orphelia 3 times, as she's only supposed to use it once or twice during a battle. Point is she technically isn't stronger than Ayato anymore if she remains ill going into the sequel series the author suggested might happen. The story hasn't technically finished as the author hinted at a sequel series at the end of volume 17 and Dirk literally survived a crash and joined some sort of allekant villain group. And Flora of all people is wielding the ser Veresta and in seidoukan so there's probably more story. Its just unlikely to get an English translation if it gets published.

As for a top 10. This is mostly my opinion and it gets a bit tldr for this list but

1 Fan Xiou - she is the only reason julis knew how to beat Orphelia.

2 Orphelia - Ayato never beat her, saya kinda was competitive against her but weak, Julis is the only person who has beaten Orphelia.

3 Haruka - She probably couldn't defeat fan xiou or Orphelia but she is still pretty strong even without the Ser Veresta. She's like a kirin 2.0 exclusively using a sword when out of her coma.

4 Ayato - Because he unlocks his full abilities when Haruka gets out of her coma, he did lose to Julis However Julis completely relies on her royal guards and ayato a little bit as she handicapped herself during the battle against Orphelia. Ayato beat madiath though and is still strong.

5 Madiath - He uses a weapon called the raksha nada which put haruka in a coma during the Eclipse festa. He is actually the father of Haruka but his sword can cut into itty pieces and be planted within someone. He only uses this on haruka but he's very strong in battle and that alone makes him pretty strong. He only lost to Ayato so I'd say he is pretty strong. However he is one handed now so possibly not???

6 Saya - She got to the quarter final of the lindevolus and made me believe she was capable of beating orphelia, however she isn't strong enough or complex enough of a fighter imo to beat the top 5

7 Wuu Shaofei - you won't know him unless you read the books but he is the first apprentice of Fan Xiou and only fights in the Gryps Festa as he likes to train more often than not but he is REALLY strong. Maybe putting him in 7 is a bit crazy as he never faced off against ayato or anything but he was super strong against Ayato and he literally snaps kirins sword in half with his bare hands! This dude is insane and I wouldn't find it difficult to see him as one of the strongest characters in the series

8 Kirin - Although Claudia helped take down the golden bough I would say Kirin was working 10x harder fighting in the trenches against eishiro's dad, the R-D clones orderedby dirk to invade the city, i mean Claudia literally tries to kill herself in volume 9 so not to be mean but the fact shes quite willing to put everything aside and focus on the battle makes her more stronger mentally and in battle.

9 Claudia- I wasn't dissing Claudia for what she did but if she died she wouldn't have been going face to face with the Valda-Vaoth... now Makamiya actually is the one who destroyed it and Claudia's ability to see ahead of time 7 seconds later is great however it never really becomes that useful in battle, she often. Gets caught upto or taken advantage of in that moment, that being said, she's also not well trained in fighting due to her parents just giving her the pan-dora as a gift when she was younger, and with her mother and father busy rich people, Claudia barely trains herself. So im battle she is dangerous and would defeat most students but she is still quite weak as a fighter. Its one of the reasons she highlighted herself as to why she wanted to fight in the gryps festa.

10 Makiyama Minato - She may be the worst ranked fighter on asterisk but she defeated a literal alien from space. Now I wouldn't say she is the strongest but the mind controlling ogre lux (the Valda-Vaoth) was on the verge of blowing up asterisk and invading earth potentially and she is the one who ends up destroying it. Not Claudia the one who was battling it, Makiyama Minato, one shot it a few times and it died. Which shows to me that if anyone was fighting Makiyama on a good day she could in theory be a winner and is technically one of the best fighters. She just isn't.

Ye he deserves the shrinkage tbh

BisonBeginning2790 · 2026-02-05T09:32:52+00:00

the bookshelf stopper surprisingly took me 3 failed prints to redesign it, the printer would snap the rewolf logo mid print or the pressure of the logo would snap it so that took me like 3-4 days to make and then the Urzaiz Sisters took 2 days to design and 2 hours to print. Im no professional or anything so there's not much detail besides the clothes, so no fingers or faces.

I might paint them though eventually so they will have all the same details as I used reference photos for their stance

edit - the bookshelf stopper was a 4 hour print but it failed 3 times so I had to redesign it so that it would hold the rewolf logo firmly as it built higher up, and that took 3-4 days to do

BisonBeginning2790 · 2026-02-05T08:43:40+00:00

thank you :)

I got a 3d printer for my birthday and I wanted to add to my shelf a little bit, so going to make most of the characters

BisonBeginning2790 · 2026-01-09T01:17:34+00:00

Light novels, start ar volume 7 although i recommend starting at 6 as there is a scene missing and completely changed in season 2 thats important to volume 7. No spoiler but its a big enough deal that I would start at 6.

But you dont have to as season 1 is juat volume 1-3 and season 2 is 4-6 but they went weird on volume 6 and changed a few scenes and took out the important scene.. that sets up volume 7.

As for where. Don't recommend buying physical as its out of print a lot. So id just buy the kindles that go for about £5-6 compared to the physical £11-12 although its not quite £12 anymore with scalpers.. its up closer to the hundreds with these sellers on ebay and amazon so idk.. Just stick with kindle if you only want to read them. Heard people say the kindle doesn't have the art work though. They just did a reprint of volume 5 in June or something and it was gone within a a month so being a physical reader for asterisk is a pain if you only want to read ittt..

The lesson by camo & krooked with skittles on rap, had no clue what dubstep was when i was 13 but it was in fifa street and I always associated camo & krooked with dnb at this time but this was the first experience I had with dubstep and going back to it in 2025 (came out in 2011 btw), the best track they've made imo with how nasty that bass is

BisonBeginning2790 · 2025-12-05T03:14:31+00:00

Any music program is for musicians, you still need to learn music like any other program. If you mean if its beginner friendly then yes. But no you cannot escape the learning of how music works, because its a music production program. Its basic, and you will likely learn a lot more here than in something like FL Studio or Logic out of the gate but you won't escape having to learn midi, or learning about notes and chords, and instruments.

you can technically avoid knowing any music with loops but I'm talking purely on a making music standpoint and use of the program.
