About the author
Honobu Yonezawa
86 books169 followersHonobu Yonezawa (米澤穂信), Yonezawa Honobu, born 1978) loved making up stories even as a child and began writing fiction at the age of 14. By the time he got to university he was posting stories on his own website. After graduation he continued writing while working in a bookstore, and first got into print in 2001 when Hyoka (Ice Cream), a YA mystery novel he submitted for the Kadokawa School Novel Prize competition, earned an honorable mention. Sayonara yosei (Farewell, Sprite), a critically acclaimed story of the relationship between Japanese high-school boys and a girl from war-torn Yugoslavia, helped cement his reputation when it was published in 2004. Since then he has been a regular presence on lists of the year's best mysteries. Oreta ryukotsu (Broken Keel) won the Mystery Writers of Japan Award for Novels in 2011. Though known especially for his distinctive and fresh blending of the tale of youth with the whodunit, Yonezawa has also made forays into science fiction, as with 2006’s Botorunekku (Bottleneck) and 2007’s Inshitemiru (Try Indulging), a sinister "murder game" story. In 2013 he published the novel Rikashiburu (Recursible). He is a leading figure among Japan's younger generation of mystery writers.

The sixth installment of the Kotenbu series is the last book that had been published so far by the author for this series. This book contain several short stories, almost the same with the fourth book. The difference is, it's more serious therefore more gloomy by default
The title of the books, "Ima sara tsubasa to iwaretemo", or could be roughly translated as "Even though I'm Told Now I Have Wings", is closely related to the last story of the book where our lovely heroine, Chitanda Eru, is facing a crisis in her life and how our hero Oreki Houtarou tried to help her in his own way. The story is simple really, nothing is hard to understand when it comes to the Kotenbu series, but in that simplicity lies a deeper meaning where everything's not rainbow and happily ever after. I praised the author for being able to bring us the story in a form of beautiful writing that flowed so well together
All in all, I think that the Kotenbu series, starting from the first book Hyouka to the last book (the sixth volume), are a fascinating novel series with great characters development throughout the whole story and real conflict that we readers could relate to. This is what makes this series so appealing which making it easy to read and enjoy as well. I almost never fall in love with a character in novel, but when it comes to Kotenbu series I couldn't help but loving all of them because they felt close and real to me, it's like I know them personally
I hope that there will be the next book of this series because it's so beautifully written and I would hate it not being able to see my favorite characters being alive again. And the biggest reason would probably to see whether Oreki and Chitanda could realize their dream together as a team. The romantist in me want to believe in that possibility

古籍研究社六: 遲來的羽翼-米澤穗信。不知不覺，規律的日常起了變化......
下面有雷
下面有雷
下面有雷
其實我不太喜歡看日本的校園作品。畢竟學校對我來說就是灰色世界，幾乎是甚麼都沒有留下就結束的青春，對比異世界般的玫瑰色校園故事，真是越看越淒涼啊。但很意外的，"遲來的羽翼"跟我晦暗的學生時代，居然還蠻吻合的?這是好事嗎...
〈那些沒映照在鏡子裡的〉
這篇是關於霸凌。故事中的女學生們為了霸凌某個同學，把"我們討厭XXX"偷偷塞進全校的畢業作品裡面，但卻被奉太郎默默地破解了。
我想在看這篇的讀者，可能大部分會覺得也太誇張，霸凌還這麼工程浩大啊......但很驚人的是，女學生無聊起來還真是很有執行力呢。在女校畢業幾年後，我有次跟幾個一年級同班、但二三年級不同班的同學聚會，其中一位A班的同學突然告訴另外一位B班的人，原來當年的畢業紀念冊上，B班的主編們做了手腳，將她們在B班討厭的人全部都畫了某種記號。當下我覺得這樣做很不好，但爆料的A班同學卻一臉不悅:「又沒有關係，反正她們都不知道啊~」
......千萬不能小瞧女學生們惡劣跟無聊的程度呢。
〈我們的傳奇之作〉
這篇是以伊原視角，描寫漫研社內閱讀派跟創作派的紛爭。
以前剛進高中的時候我也加入了漫研，也曾經做過當社團幹部的夢，但第一堂社課的時候，幹部們就直截了當的說了:「先說好了，你們如果是去哪裡都要跟家裡報備的話，就不要做幹部了!
「做幹部的話，學姊叫你們來就要來，不要說甚麼家裡不同意怎樣怎樣，
「像是今天我們全體幹部都要一起去試聽XX補習班，因為可以拿視聽費兩百塊!全部幹部都要來喔!」
......這是甚麼奇怪的社團啊。
道不同不相為謀，就算都看漫畫，調性不同的人聚在一起也沒甚麼意思。好險也一年後就退社了，不然可能會跟河內亞也子學姊一樣:「我很後悔我居然把高中三年的時間，花了兩年在那種地方。」
〈遲來的羽翼〉
......看完真的跟奉太郎一樣拳頭硬硬的。我猜大概是千反田的老媽又懷了個男丁吧......一個繼承順位降低的概念? 也難怪千反田會懷疑人生啊。
雖然這也不全然是壞事，但對於犧牲了很多事來為接班做準備的千反田來說，父母的一句話就像把她十七年的準備給退件一樣莫名其妙。只能說，為了自己的目標認真是好事，但別人加諸給自己的目標就斟酌吧...畢竟誰知道對方心中有甚麼打算呢，也許像千反田的父母，本來就只是把女兒當備案也說不定。還好千反田也才犧牲了十七年，未來還長~而且就實際面來說，家裡不缺錢又不須承擔責任的話，不是超好的嗎~不用為了找工作挑科系，也不需要為了錢做不想做的工作，想幹嘛就幹嘛，乾脆畢業以後就先環遊世界好了~
越想越覺得這樣好棒啊，千反田妹妹真的不要傷心，妳的未來一片光明!

3.5/5
Buku series Hyouka terakhir yang di translate ke bahasa Indonesia yang aku baca, aku merasa punya keterikatan sendiri sama karakter-karakternya karena udah ngikutin mereka sejak kelas 1 SMA dan pada dasarnya aku udah kenal sama karakter 4 MC ini, terutama Oreki. Tapi walaupun begitu aku masih suka amaze sama jalan pikiran dan penyelesaian masalah mereka terutama cara berpikirnya Oreki.
Di buku terakhir ini, lebih di highlight tentang Ibara dan perkembangan karakternya dengan klub manganya dan juga Oreki yang lebih proaktif, penasaran dan beda dari buku-buku sebelumnya. Di sini Oreki lebih keliatan care sama teman-temannya di klub sastra klasik.
Buku ini juga lebih memperlihatkan kedewasaan masing-masing karakternya yang tumbuh sebagai anak SMA. Makanya untuk unsur misterinya nggak terlalu bikin greget, lebih chill dan menggambarkan kehidupan dan masalah internal sehari-hari. Overall i enjoyed reading this whole series, selalu menjadi pengalaman membaca yang menyenangkan!

Từ lúc đọc tiêu đề truyện mình đã liên liệu trước rằng tập truyện này sẽ khá buồn. Và đúng là buồn man mác thật.
Tập truyện được chia ra làm 5 "vụ"/bí mật cần giải đáp. Và mỗi thành viên CLB Cổ Điển là nhân vật trung tâm/liên quan đến 1 vụ. Riêng cậu chàng Hotaro thì có riêng 2 vụ, và tham gia "phá án" trong 3 vụ khác.
Những vụ này không quá kịch tính và không có liên kết với nhau như các tập trước. Mà mỗi vụ án được dùng để khắc họa rõ hơn tính cách của 4 nhân vật của CLB, cũng như hướng đến chủ đề lựa chọn bước đường tương lại của nhóm bạn.
Qua các vụ, người đọc nhận thấy sự phát triển trong tư duy và cảm xúc của cả 4 người. Mayaka dẹp bỏ lo ngại, tự tin theo đuổi nghiệp vẽ. Satoshi bớt tính ganh đua, nhiệt tình tham gia trải nghiệm và giúp đỡ mọi người hơn. Hotaro thoát khỏi trạng thái "tiết kiệm năng lượng", trở lại đúng nghĩa cậu trai tốt bụng, hay quan tâm giúp đỡ người khác. Ở tập này cũng tiết lộ lí do khá buồn trong quá khứ khiến Hotaro chọn phong cách sống bơ đời. Còn Chitanda- cô gái vẻ ngoài mẫu mực bên trong lại đầy cảm xúc và sự vui tươi- sang tập này lại đối diện với sự khủng hoảng. Bức tranh vẽ ngoài bìa cũng là vẽ về câu truyện thứ 5 -khủng hoảng của Chitanda.
Thay vì cái kết tìm ra sự thật- vụ việc kết thúc như các tập trước, tập truyện này có cái kết mở. Mình trông đợi tác giả sẽ tiếp tục viết những phần tiếp theo để biết được lựa chọn và sự phát triển của CLB Cổ điển. Nhưng e rằng sẽ phải đợi chờ rất lâu nữa :(

NOOOOOOOOOO
This is the last published Kotenbu novel and I am not okay
This one is actually a short story collection, the same as volume 4
And out of all the stories my favourites were "The Long Holiday" and the title story "Even Though I'm Told I Have Wings" (which might have made me cry a little bit... a lot)
Even if this series hasn't been as neglected as Suzumiya Haruhi I still feel uneasy about never actually reading the end...
come on Honobu Yonezawa (and Nagaru Tanigawa) I'm counting on you man...
Don't leave me hanging

4.5 stars
A collection of six short stories. The school election was rigged, Hōtarō remembers something unusual during his English class in middle school, and Chitanda disappeared.
The title of this book book was captivating me so much that I skipped the fourth and fifth book. In this sixth book, the slice of life parts are stronger, however the stories of Hōtarō's past, and the closing story (the Even Though I'm Told I Now Have Wings) which feels like a loves story so fitting for Hōtarō, make this reading journey worth the while.
I have learned that the city in Hyouka is based on the author's hometown, so throughout the story I felt like wandering that town with Hōtarō. Obviously I'll go back to read the previous books, and it's nice to hear the author will release the seventh book.

“Even if you think that fellow human beings should help each other, others won't necessarily think of you as being worth it. It's not like I wanted anyone to appreciate me. I just never imagined that people thought of me as such an idiot. I won't stay after school anymore. As long as I'm around others, they'll ask me to do something. They probably think I'm an idiot because I always did what they asked without resisting. I don't care about what they think. I just hate being used. Of course, if I have to do it I will. I won't complain at all. But, if it's not necessary... If it turns out it's someone else's responsibility... If I don't have to do it, I won't. I absolutely won't.”

Di buku terakhir seri Hyouka ini cerita perchapternya sangat menarik. Lalu ditutup dengan cerita problem Chitanda. Gak nyangka endingnya seperti itu.
Kadang hidup di dunia ini ada hal-hal di mana kita mau gak mau harus menerima, apalagi jika itu suatu hal yg sudah ditakdirkan.

the last published hyouka novel, and I'm already nostalgic for these four characters.
this was more of a collection of stories more than a novel with an overarching mystery, and it focuses on deepening the characters' relationships and their connections and adding to their development. I just want more Chitanda and Oreki content!!!

Hyouka has always been a favorite ever since I was in elementary school. I've watched the anime over and over again and somehow always find something new to appreciate. I just, I can't express how much I love this series.
I decided to finally read one of the books. It chose #6 specifically for the stories that are not on the anime and the title, "Even Though I'm Told I Now Have Wings," which intrigued me. I'm so glad I read this... I'm gonna make a review for each short story because I can.
1. Yang Hilang dari Dalam Kotak
I actually really loved the vibes for this one, with Oreki and Satoshi taking a night stroll together, discussing things, and solving mysteries. I find this so calming, and so, I don't know, endearing to me. I could actually see these two on my head exactly like the anime, and idk, this was really something I needed. On to the mystery itself with the election box, it was a little hard to grasp the "rules" of the mystery at first, but after another few pages, you can easily follow along. The key to this case was "the past" and how the world didn't revolve around us. School, which is basically a little world by itself, exists beyond our times as students there, and I don't know why that baffled me so much, but it did. Idk just really loved this chill sort of introduction to the entire book. Loved it. 5/5⭐️
2. Yang Tidak Terpantul di Cermin
I liked this one a lot cause Ibara is surprisingly the one who solved the mystery this time (a mystery that involved Oreki's past by that!). This new pov made it seem not like the usual Hyouka episode, which is very interesting to me. Ibara tries to find out why Oreki half-assedly did his middle school parting project (enraging the entire generation in the process lawl). What I like about Ibara is that she's not as "fast" as Oreki on figuring things out, nor is she a database like Satoshi. She just has will and is not afraid to do shit and get it over with (which I can't relate to). I feel like this story would be so much better animated since a lot of it has to do with the project itself (which is hard to imagine exactly in writing). I can imagine how mind boggled I would be If I watch this in the anime.
3. Cerahkah Pegunungan Hari ini?
I actually saw this one in the anime, so I already know what was going on lawl. Still, reading it does give a new perspective like what Oreki was thinking the entire time (very fascinating). I don't really have much thought other than that... the mystery is good as always, of course!
4. Karya Legendaris Kami!
A more dominant Ibara pov!! Woww I love the Ibara slay in this issue! (Also, a cute moment with Satoshi and Ibara that is just.... GOD, IT'S SO CUTE ME AND WHO?!) I must say, this one was not my favorite out of the whole bunch... the manga club thing was kinda hilarious and outright evil... and the conclusion? Uhmm... yeah, idk, I didn't really like the conclusion that much, actually. But also?? OREKI'S BOOK REVIEW!!! THAT ACTUALLY WAS SO GOOD!! I might even say it's the best part of this entire book cause HOLY HELL I actually loved it so fucking much...... his book review was for the short story by Osamu Dazai "Run, Melos!" I actually read the thing myself to get the story better since I know Hyouka loves to do these silly literature references. IM SO GLAD I DID!! Oreki's review actually blew my mind!! Yonezama Honobu is actually a genius for thinking of this, idk how this man does it. His mind is just so clear.
5. Liburan Panjang
WE GOT OREKI'S MOTTO BACSTORY!!! Let me just say: I feel so fucking bad for Oreki man 😭😭 this man gets wronged so many times in his life it's insane.... anyway, this story is about Oreki's elementary school days of him wattering potted plants. Oreki finds out he's tired of being a bootlicker and decided to grow a backbone... I respect that. Also, Chitanda and Oreki cleaned up a shrine together, gawd, why are these kids so cute. ME WHEN???
6. Meski Kau Bilang Aku Punya Sayap
The title story! You know, at some point in the middle, when I could roughly see what was going on, I started to realize what the title actually meant and went silent for a bit. I thought the title was just a good brain scracter...... I didn't think the meaning behind it was so....😀 anyways, after figuring out what the title meant, the story really became clear to me. I love the ending with Hotaro meeting Chitanda.... doing the legendary anime scene of door to door confrontation. Woaw... that's just saur cool.......
Anyways!! I just really love Hyouka!!! Das all!!!

Endingnya kentaaaang... dear Yonezawa sensei, cliffhanger kayak gini nih bikin gemoy sekaleee. Aacckkk....
Ada 6 cerpen di sini, diceritakan dari pov keempat tokohnya. Aku suka sekali yang kasus Oreki dan cermin kelulusan yang diceritakan oleh Ibara. Khas Oreki, pahlawan tak kasat mata, diam-diam bikin kasus perundungan berbalik 180 derajat. Trus Fukube juga, sengaaajaa banget bikin plakat gitu, biar jadi pengingat abadi sepanjang masa :)) Dasar nih cowok berdua, beda sifat jauh tapi kompak sejak dari dulunya.
Kasus-kasus yang lain juga lumayan. Suara hantu dalam voting ketua OSIS itu misterinya kena. Kasus helikopter Ogi-sensei tu aku yaqqiinn sudah pernah tahu, mungkin dari animenya yak. Kasusnya Ibara dan klub manga jadi tema coming of age yang cukup oke. Plus forshadowing hubungan Ibara-Fukube yang adem ayem tapi sweet kayak gulali.
Satu kasus lagi diceritakan Oreki pada Chitanda, kenapa sampai ia punya motto irit energi begitu.
Lalu kasus terakhirnya, yang jadi judul antologi ini... finally, character development for chitanda. Aku juga suka bagian ini, tapi ya itu... penasaran banget keputusan yang akan diambil Chi-chan.
Belum ada kelanjutan seri ini dari penulisnya, jadi harus sabar menanti, kapan hiatus ini akan berakhir dan kisah keempat orang ini akan berlanjut. Hiks....

Cuối cùng chỉ có Ibara là thành công trong việc tìm được đường hướng tương lai và quyết tâm đi theo con đường đó. Còn Chitanda cũng như Oreki thì vẫn "nguyên hình" là những cô cậu bé mới lớn, đang đứng chần chừ giữa ngã tư đường, chưa biết nên bước tới đâu để bắt đầu con đường tương lai của mình. Một cảm giác chông chênh buồn bã khiến câu chuyện khép lại như một tiếng thở dài, buồn như màn mưa vậy.

I enjoyed reading this book much more than I expected. Even Though I'm Told I Now Have Wings could be my number one favorite from the Hyouka series.
In this book, we went deeper to understand each main characters without leaving the typical simplicity of Hyouka series. The reason why Mayaka left Manga Club, the deeper dive-in to Fukube Satoshi's complicated yet endearing self, Oreki's past and the reason behind his infamous life motto, and lastly.. the bittersweet story development from our beloved heroine, Chitanda Eru. (Though the cliffhanger ending might be haunting me from now on.)
I also loved how Yonezawa-sensei subtly inserted the romantic relationship between our two distinguished "couple". Satoshi and Mayaka were undoubtly caring and supporting each other which I found it very endearing. I really hoped they could grow together. And Oreki-Chitanda relationship might be seen stagnant but no, there were so many hints of their romantic sparks here and there. Also, the last story where Oreki really want to punch something after listening to Chitanda's voice was a big revelation for me.
Now, I can only hope that Yonezawa Honobu-sensei will release the 7th book soon. 🥹🤲🏻

Creo que hasta ahora es mi volumen favorito. Se me hizo un poco más melancólico que los demás, pero a la vez más... bello, por decirlo de alguna manera. Las últimas dos historias fueron mis favoritas (el final de la última... por qué me haces esto Yonezawa). Ahora esperar a ver si algún día sale un nuevo volumen.

Love this one more than the 4th book, probably because the tone is more serious here. Absolutely love the last two stories aaa. It does feel a little like a closure to the series, but I hope there will be the 7th book soon XD

We got to see a side of Houtarou, a bit of Ibara and a lost Chitanda. I can understand the characters better now especially Oreki. THAT ending though. I WANT A CONTINUATION RIGHT NOW!

Truyện "Tấm gương không phản chiếu" ok phết.
Nói chung bộ này cũng được, không hay bằng Cô gái văn chương. Nhưng bản dịch với các hậu tố tiếng Nhật đã giảm độ hay xuống một nửa, đọc mà ức chế :)

This book is a compilation of short stories, making it very similar in its form to the 4th book of the series: The Doll Who Took a Detour. It is also, quite in the same way, a character-focused book rather than a story-driven one. I personally enjoyed it quite well, especially since two of the six stories are narrated by Ibara who was, since the beginning of the series, the least developed character in my opinion. I will address the negative points at the end. No major spoilers about the mysteries below.
What's missing from the box
This story focuses on there having an issue with the number of votes for deciding the next student council president. This is interesting as we discover a yet unseen side of Satoshi, who proves to be quite intolerant toward injustice, as he thinks that the one taken accountable for this trick is innocent and therefor asks Houtarou for help in proving his point.
The mirror can't reflect
Easily my favorite story of this book. Ibara suddenly remembers an incident that occurred during middle school, in which Oreki was heavily implied and even played the role of the bad guy. She then decides to investigate on this matter. This story both shows us a new side of Oreki and further develops Ibara's character; indeed, she is someone who is really frank and doesn't hesitate to admitting that she was wrong.
Is it sunny out in the mountains?
This story is not interesting at all, except maybe for showing us that Oreki too could be curious about stuff. This story is special as it the only one after the 4th volume that is in the anime adaptation. I therefore think that it was kind of a rushed episode that Honobu Yonezawa wrote really fast upon being asked to. He later decided to include it in this book.
Our legendary volume
This story is once again narrated from Ibara's point of view and deals with the precise reasons for why she left the manga society club. While this provides further insight on Ibara's character, I actually found this story really boring as there is no real mystery.
The long holiday
Oreki suddenly wakes up one morning with far too much energy and decides to go out. He "coincidentally" encounters Chitanda and the reason for his motto "If I won't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll do it quick." comes up. While there is no real mystery in this story either (making it quite weak overall), this still provides us with information about Oreki's personality, on top of narrating quite an easily relatable story.
Even though I am told I now have wings
This story is about Oreki helping Ibara to find Chitanda who disappeared when she is supposed to perform in a choir.
Final Thoughts
This book is quite a strange one. It is by far the weakest of the series in term of mystery (only the first two stories could be considered as part of the genre). This however is still interesting because of all the things that we learn about the characters, though I consider the cliffhanger at the end to be a cheap move.

This book is currently the latest book of the series yet the thickest. Oh, not to mention the most expensive. But I think this book is worth the money. I have no regrets reading this.
Buku ini terdiri dari 6 kasus utama. Selain disuguhkan dengan POV Oreki Hotaro, kita juga mendapat 2 kasus yang diambil dari POV Ibara Mayaka dan sedikit POV Chitanda di awal kasus ke-6. Dari keenam kasus tersebut, saya rasa kasus ke-5 dan ke-6 lah yang paling bertema serius. Terutama yang ke-6.
Kasus ke-5 menyorot kepada Oreki, "Apa makna di balik motto hidup Oreki yang selalu disebut-sebut?"
Hmm incase jika kalian lupa, motto hidup Oreki berbunyi: "Kalau tidak perlu dikerjakan, lebih baik tidak usah dikerjakan. Tapi kalau harus dikerjakan, lakukan dengan praktis."
Meski terdengar seperti orang pemalas, sebenarnya ada makma filosofisnya, lho. Eh, jadi ke inget novel satunya.
Di kasus ke-5 ini kita bisa merasakan character development dari sang MC.
Sementara itu, di kasus ke-6 yang judulnya sama seperti judul buku ini, lebih mengarah kepada perkembangan Chitanda sebagai pewaris keluarga. Temanya serius dan sedikit menyentuh. Saya kagum dengan chapter ini.
Oh, iya, 2 kasus dengan POV Ibara juga tak kalah penting. Kasusnya yaitu kasus ke-2 dan ke-4. Di antara kasus yang lain, kedua kasus itulah yang paling banyak memakan halaman. Saat membacanya saya kerap kali membatin, "Sudah selesai belum?" sampai-sampai saya menghitung lembar yang tersisa dari kasus tersebut. Premisnya menarik, namun eksekusinya terlalu muter-muter. Njlimet. Banyak yang berkaitan dengan Hyouka 3 yang sudah saya lupa, mengingatnya kembali agak merepotkan.
Untuk kasus pertama dan ketiga tidak ada kritik dari saya. Eksekusinya normal seperti buku-buku sebelumnya, tidak terlalu serius namun menarik untuk dibaca. Alurnya santai dan mengalir.
Semoga serial ini segera mendapat kelanjutan. Saya akan sangat menantikannya.

I have read every single book in this series and each and every time, i always find myself falling in love over and over again. The characters, their journeys, the town, everything! I am utterly in love with every part of this series, even the simplest and most mundane parts.
This book in particular kind of marks the point where we just have to believe that our 4 beloved members can solve their problems and navigate through their lives as usual. We've seen them grow. We've seen them changed. We've seen their rawest parts. And i think that's the most beautiful thing about this series. How mundane it is.
Yonezawa Honobu can combine the simplest words and turn them into something real and beautiful. And that's something to be proud of.
With this book, feeling closely intimate with the characters is inevitable. And that intimacy is timeless. Meaning that 50 years from now, when I somehow find this book and decide to re-read it again, I am confident that it would feel like meeting an old friend. I've known and loved these characters for 13 years. I've grown up with them. And so they will always be familiar to me. Along the way, they've affected some of my perspectives in life and have been a part of me until now. Therefore, there will always be bits and parts of them living inside the person that I am now. The fact that I somehow feel a connection with a few fictional characters written with ink— I think that's one of the most wonderful things about reading a book.
This series makes me happy. The characters make me happy. The town, the weather, the coffee shops in it, they make me happy. I whole-heartedly love this series. And isn't that lovely? I hope everyone else who read this series can understand and feel the same way too.
Just like my review for the previous book, it's now 4 am again and it basically has become a pattern now of finishing these books at this hour. Yet I regret nothing.

Berlatar waktu paralel dengan seri kelima, seri keenam dari serial Hyouka oleh Yonezawa Honobu ini terdiri dari enam cerita pendek yang terjadi pada karakter-karakter klub Literasi Klasik. "Even Though I'm Told I Now Have Wings" selain menjadi judul buku, merupakan salah satu judul cerita pendek yang ada di dalam novel, dimana Chitanda menghadapi masalah yang membuat dia menghilang sesaat sebelum lomba paduan suara yang harus dihadirinya dimulai. Oreki yang dihubungi Ibara akhirnya turut serta mencoba mencari keberadaan Chitanda, dan dalam proses mencari keberadaannya juga berhasil menerka permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh Chitanda.
Selain judul utama, cerita lain yang ditampilkan dalam novel adalah "Yang Hilang dari Dalam Kotak", "Yang Tidak Terpantul di Cermin", "Cerahkan Pegunungan Hari Ini?", "Karya Legendaris Kami", dan "Liburan Panjang".
Konsep novel yang tidak berkelanjutan pada beberapa kasus dapat mengurangi ketertarikan, namun pada novel ini saya rasa tidak demikian. Tipikal dari Yonezawa yang mampu menyodorkan kasus-kasus kecil yang menarik membuat saya penasaran, misteri kecil apalagi yang akan terjadi selanjutnya. Dan seperti halnya seri kelimanya, buku dengan tebal 500an halaman ini cukup cepat saya selesaikan dalam kurun waktu 2-3 hari. Setelah novel ini saya berharap akan ada seri Hyouka yang kembali dirilis, mengingat sampai sekarang belum ada informasi kembali atas kelanjutan serinya. Sebagaimana saya tumbuh selama melihat dan membaca seri Hyouka, saya penasaran dengan pertumbuhan yang dialami oleh karakter didalamnya.

Excellent 5/5 stars
Buku keenam dari seri hyouka yang merupakan buku terbaru dari seri tersebut saat saya menulis review ini sungguh menarik dan menyenangkan untuk dibaca.
Seperti buku keempat, buku keenam ini juga merupakan kumpulan cerita pendek keseharian anggota klub sastra klasik yang dipenuhi misteri sehari hari yang sebenarnya tidak terlalu penting untuk dibahas tetapi akibat rasa penasaran yang tinggi akhirnya dibahas juga.
Di buku kali ini, cerita cerita yang ditawarkan lebih menarik daripada buku keempat ditambah kita dapat melihat banyak perubahan dari diri oteki hotaro dan mengetahui asal usul mottonya yang super hemat energi itu dari masa lalunya yang membuat saya semakin suka dengan karakter utama ini.
Selain itu, beberapa cerita juga diceritakan dari sudut pandang ibara mayaka yang sangat berbeda sekali dengan oreki dari pola berpikir dan caranya menghadapi masalah masalah yang ia hadapi di klub manga.
Di buku ini kita juga diberi sisi lain dari chitanda eru yang terlihat seperti putri keluarga kaya yang baik hati, canti, dan sempurna dan apa persoalan hidup yang harus ia hadapi sehingga terjadi suatu kejadian yang membuat teman temannya khawatir.
Sejauh ini saya tidak bisa menentukan buku mana yang lebih bagus, yang ini atau seri kelimanya karena sama2 tidak membosankan untuk dibaca dan malah membuat kita kepo banget sama kehidupan para karakternya.

Dari 6 buku seri hyouka, buku favorit saya ada 2 dan keduanya kebetulan sama2 berupa kumpulan cerpen, yaitu The Doll That Took a Detour dan buku ini.
Judul Even Though I'm Told I Now Have Wings (judul yang aduhai panjangnya ini) diambil dari judul cerpen terakhir yang ada di dalam buku. Sebuah cerpen yang agak memilukan sebenarnya.
Saya suka cerpen2 dalam buku ini karena menceritakan masa lalu para anggota Klub Sastra Klasik dan jawaban dari beberapa hal yang selama ini hanya dibahas sekilas dalam buku2 sebelumnya, seperti kenapa Oreki menjadi berprinsip hemat energi?bagaimana dan kenapa ibara keluar dari klub manga?bagaimana awal mula ibara jadi suka menggambar manga?bagaimana mereka saat masih SMP di SMP Kaburaya, dll.
Yah itu adalah beberapa hal yang menarik di antara banyak lagi hal-hal yang menarik di dalamnya. Menurut saya pribadi buku seri hyouka makin lama menjadi semakin menarik. Dan buku ini adalah salah dua dari yang paling menarik.
Satu hal yang sedikit mengganjal adalah ending dari cerpen terakhir yang dibuat menggantung...tapi tidak terlalu mengganggu juga sih, karena misteri utamanya sudah terungkap.
Saya menantikan lajutannya, semoga Yonezawa Honobu segera menerbitkan hyouka 7

Meski kamu bilang saya kini punya sepasang sayap. Hujan musim panas akan tetap terasa lembab seperti larik-larik yang tak jadi kita nyanyikan. Memangnya, punya sayap bakal berarti kita bisa selalu terbang? Bagaimana kalau musim panas tidak pernah berakhir, lalu hujan akan senantiasa turun membasahi sekujur tubuh kita? Bagaimana jadinya, bila ternyata saya serupa burung yodaka di cerita lama, yang merindukan bintang-bintang karena terbuang dari tanah kelahiran?

Seri Kotenbu itu ... makin lama makin bagus, ya? Agak sedih memikirkan ini sudah buku keenam yang terbit, dan sampai sekarang belum tahu kapan kelanjutannya akan muncul. Tapi, pengalaman membaca Hyouka selalu menyenangkan, tanpa disuruh pun saya pasti bakal baca ulang kalau udah kangen sama anak-anak Klub Sastra Klasik.
Aduh. Bingung mau mengomentari aspek apa dari buku ini. Seperti yang sudah dijelaskan pada sampul belakang buku, buku kali ini merupakan kumpulan cerpen (sama kayak buku keempat, Toomawari no Hina'). Boleh dibilang, yang ini jauh lebih seru karena banyak membahas latar belakang tokoh-tokoh kesayangan kita. Mulai dari masa lalu Oreki, dari mana datangnya moto hemat energinya yang ikonik itu, masalah pelik Ibara di Klub Manga, sampai pergolakan batin yang dialami Chitanda si penerus keluarga. Mungkin itu juga yang bikin saya sangat menikmati proses membacanya, karena sudut pandang bisa berubah-ubah dari tokoh A ke B, Yonezawa Honobu-sensei memang piawai sekali menonjolkan ciri khas setiap tokoh dalam narasinya. Ah, pokoknya, sehabis membaca 'Imasara Tsubasa to Iwaretemo', rasanya jadi semakin dekat dengan para tokoh. Sedihnya, giliran udah dekat begini malah harus berpisah dulu sampai nggak tau kapan, haha. Oh iya, cerpen terakhir dan endingnya bagus banget, bener-bener bittersweet.
