Does anyone know about this novel? Can someone tell me if the story was good. I saw the manga version of this and I'm really interested especially the cover of the manga.

It'll be a great help if someone can tell me if the novel is worth reading. Thanks in advance.

I'm nearly finished with the first one, and I'm really enjoying it.

Viz needs a better graphic designer though. The interior pages have three dark gray circles on the bottom corners, and it distracts my eye from the text. Also, the chapter pages have black text on a dark gray space...hard to read. It's just the name of the chapter, but for the sake of good design, should be white.

the 3rd and 4th one should have been out already i've already ordered both on amazon.com almost a month ahead and waited for them to be both shipped but they said the 3rd one - even though it has been out for a while, said that they didn't even receive it from the distributor yet...

so that doesn't sound good..when the 4th one is supposed to come just recently Crying or Very sad

Tokyopop never released anything past volume 2 and they never will. The translator was told he wasn't needed anymore. Tokyopop canceled pretty much all of their novels other than Twelve Kingdoms and, I think, Trinity Blood.

Well, you can import the Japanese novels. But that's probably not going to help you. I doubt there is any other way to read this series in English as it doesn't strike me as the kind of series people would bother with for illegitimate translations.

Agh, are you serious? Thanks a lot, Tokyopop. Confused At least they didn't drop 12 Kingdoms.
