User blog comment:Lias' Pawn/The Possibility within the new 'Shin' High school Dxd/@comment-1359322-20180407043631/@comment-82.6.168.96-20180407082635

Wouldn't making a new Highschool DxD Series be about going big for the rest of the story, so something like 12+ volumes mores doesn't sound unreasonable, along with side stories (Build up relationships) that would seem like enough to give Issei's 3rd year story a proper end? So maybe something like how One piece does it, with the big tournemt event as an overaching saga while they are smaller arcs around 2-4 voulmes in length?

Also with the Harem thing, i just did a translation thing on his tweet about progressing Isse's relationships with his future wives. He said (Might be a tanslation error) that it is almost settled in regards to wives, and then a joke about his rival. often in regards to tweets with jokes in them  there can be a bit of leeway but  even taking a look at it it seems l more like he  himself knows who Issei is going to end up with now, all in his plans and such and he isn't considering making more girls for him in the story.

Cause there are like 4 or 5 girls that have been teased with Issei, like Le Fay or that Bennia girl from Sona's group. Also Issei has a peerage set now, so including the more obscure girls as members of his peerage (true peerage that will stay with him after the torunement) would be a good idea,. Also it was kinda hinted at that Bennia would become issei's servant eariler, beacusce she originally was not the knight Sona was hoping to get for her group so it would make sense if it was all planned out ahead by the Author...
