VBR artbook!!! Isn't it wonderful! I got the ending spoiled too; I was a little sad but all the pretty makes up for it (and there's still all the other unspoiled details in between!) I think Tokyopop has been asked before about artbooks, and generally they don't license them except for a series that would really sell well (like if Fruits Basket had an artbook...) Because the main focus is the art, which doesn't need much translation, and because it's hard to match the print quality of the original books, I think they don't really find it worthwhile in most cases. It would be fun to be able to read all Hidaka-sensei's little comments about each illustration in the back. Oh, and did you see the Sakashita-sibiling comics on the front and back covers (under the dust jacket)?

What a lot of reading you did! I missed your updates, since it had been a while. Welcome back :D

" It would be fun to be able to read all Hidaka-sensei's little comments about each illustration in the back."
that's why I'm hoping it would get translated.
Yes, I saw it, but I can't read japanese to save my life, so ...
Aren't the arts so pretty? If only I could find Tears of the lamb art book ...

"What a lot of reading you did!"
- heh! That was 2 weeks worth - inter-library loan is too dangerous. Stack of to-be-read pile is getting higher!

"I missed your updates, since it had been a while. Welcome back :D"
Thanks, I could have updated last friday, but I wanted to keep the tuesdays lined up :)

Oh yes, I'd love to get the IHY/Tears artbook. I've seen it on ebay but you might have to pay more...

Hee. At least with inter-library loan you don't have to pay for all the books you read!!

oh, do you still have the url?

re: inter-library loan
True, it's a great way to check out oop series, long series, or series I'm not sure if I want to collect :)

If you go to ebay and search for Banri Hidaka, you should be able to find something (I saw two listings when I checked just now)!

ah, thanks, I see them now. I didn't see those listings the first time I searched!
