Go East, Kanami!

"Going wild like nobody's watching! As innocent as a child! The woman who had Shiroe wrapped around her finger finally makes her appearance!

One day, Leonardo became trapped in a game world, and what's worse, he was on the Chinese server where he didn't have a single friend. He gets caught up in a massive battle and falls into despair. The one who comes to save him is none other than the raven haired, buxom explosive personality, Kanami. She brings along the hero Elias, the blank faced healer Koppelia, and a white horse that can understand human speech on her journey to reach Japan. Stubborn and lively, she snaps up Leonardo as the 4th member of her strange party and their travels begin here. Now, on the journey East!"

- Yen On description

'Log Horizon 9: Kanami, Go! East!' is the ninth volume of the Log Horizon light novel series and is the first of a three-volume side-story that focuses on Kanami's Party in the Chinese server rather than on the Yamato server. It is continued in volume 11.

Even though Kanami is made out to be the main character of this story, the story is primarily told from Leonardo's perspective rather than Kanami's.

Debauchery Tea Party
The Appendix to volume 9 gave information for the Debauchery Tea Party members, including those who were not online during the Catastrophe; they had previously been revealed in a fan book, but were never officially published.

Along with the basic information of the members, there was also a relationship chart given. However, the relationship chart did not include every member in it due to the lack of space.

Overseas Classes: Part 1
Mamare Touno and Ishihara Shinji (the anime director) created designs and class icons for the unique overseas server classes. In this part they covered the North American, Central/South American, Korean, and Chinese servers. At the end of the description, it stated that they would continue with the second installment, presumably in volume 11.

Trivia

 * The contents of Kanami, Go! East! are taken from a side-story called "Dragonhowl Mountains" that Mamare originally published on his website (mamare.net, which is no longer operational). In chronological order of his writings, this is also the first time Kanami is actually named; volumes 1-5 never reveal her name.
 * Leonardo's resemblance to the famous Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle is also downplayed for the published volume; he looks like a frog, not a turtle, and his favorite food is sushi instead of pizza. However, the latter change didn't make it into the anime, which still has him say that he's fondest of pizza.
