Gundam fans are trying to figure out what to make of a widely circulating photo, purporting to be news of an eleventh Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn novel, announced on the band for volume 14 of manga adaptation Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn Bande Dessinée. Military sci-fi writer Harutoshi Fukui's 2007-2009 series wrapped up its story with August 2009's "Over the Rainbow (Part 2)."

The 11th volume is listed for 2016. Beyond shock and surprise, Japanese fans are speculating about a sequel story with a new protagonist and to suggestions that something might have been in the works from the talk at fall's Gundam Unicorn OVA adaptation episode 7 MX4D screening at October's 28th Tokyo International Film Festival.
