Yura Kairi 20th Anniversary Angelique illustrations collection; remake dead?; new manga
This seems to be old news, but I just learned of its existence through Amazon Japan: Yura Kairi released a 20th Anniversary Angelique illustration collection earlier this month. 160 pages; don't know how it differs from Tiara. Anyone have it?
.
In other news, the 20th anniversary celebration for Neoromance came and went; they updated the page with the full remake of Angelique was announced at the start of the year, but all mention of said remake has been removed. Not that it's a surprise at this point, but it seems that the remake is dead in the water.
Update: Discovered at darkheart54's prompting below: This Famitsu article (Anime News Network report here) mentions that a brief mention of the remake was indeed made at the festival, mostly confirming info that was already known or rumored (no plans to change voice cast as of now; graphics and game system will be updated). They also are said to have released two new images of Clavis and Julious (not online anywhere yet as far as I can see). Nine months, and just two images, though - and no more official online mention of the alleged game. We'll see.
(The same article does mention that a Miko Mitsuki will be drawing a new Angelique manga for Sho-Comi magazine starting this winter, though, again, no further details available.)
