So I recommend a lobbying effort to let them know that there is interest. :)

Sorry to be so late in replying. No, there is no complete translation of the novels yet. The novels may not be very big, but the written language is tougher to comprehend. There are many pictographs (kanji) used in the text that are difficult to translate, and this makes the job harder. If Japanese were a simple, written language (such as English or Hungarian), the job would be much easier.

I don't know if Viz would be interested. The market may not be big enough... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (oni shin) http://setosfan.yuku.com/sreply/1468 Tue, 06 Sep 2005 16:42:46 GMT <![CDATA[ novels? ]]> http://setosfan.yuku.com/topic/490/t/novels-.html Is it really that hardt to translate them? Not only a synopsis, but a real translation? There is a lot of things not in the Summaries, about Naja for example, or like the note about the future Misaki-rampage...
