The Square Enix Japanese Calendar has updated with the addition of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days Novel Volume 1! It's set to release on July 31st for 700 yen. We can only assume that the author is going to be Tomoco Kanemaki (the author of the previous novels and the 358/2 Days scenario writer).

In other news, Studio Bent has provided a few details about the new Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days Ultimania (which releases on June 25th). It will include a Secret Reports guide, scenario trivia, illustration gallery, an interview with Director Tetsuya Nomura (discussing things like scenario details and the next installment of the series--Birth by Sleep), a mission guide (including Normal, Trial, and Mission modes), and 2-4 pages on each Organization member, explaining each of their weapons and combos. The Ultimania is 496 pages total. Many thanks to our affiliate, HeartStation, for translating the article.
