OT_J184228.1+483742 : ordinary superhumps have not developed 

 We have received further observations from Maehara-san
and Pavol A. Dubovsky.
 Accordingt to these data, clear superhumps had not appeared
yet. Because superhumps had not appeared for nealy 20 days,
this is surprising even for WZ Sge-type dwarf novae. The newest
data implies realtively steep decline and variation like superhumps.
However, if this variation is superhumps, the period is too long
(0.1 day). This may be a change of decline speed.
 The reason why variations were obscure may be that the inclination 
is low. However, ordinary superhumps will be able to be seen if they
develop. The extreme delay of the appearence of superhumps suggests
that this object may be an unusual object.
 Further observations are encouraged!
