I'd actually been wondering about the novels...

O_O

I went looking for the other FMP novels to buy-- HOLY SHIT, HOW LONG HAVE THEY BEEN OUT-OF-PRINT? Seriously, even on amazon they're, lyke, $100 a pop. I CANNOT AFFORD THAT.

I found them all on Borders, but books 2 and 3 are backordered... which means I may not get them at all. D: NUUUUU~

Edit: Just kidding, 1 is on backorder, too. D< And so is Strawberry Panic novel 3! WHYYYYYYYYYY?! *sobs*

I was afraid of that. They've been OOP for two or three years... That's why I didn't feature them on my video recommendations, if you recall. However, I can't imagine they would issue new volumes without restocking the previous ones. So I'm thinking you'll probably be seeing the first three restocked around the same time the fourth/fifth come out. Then again, this is Tokyopop we're talking about. They can be kind of "special" sometimes. :C

Er, I regret to inform you that Seven Seas has cancelled all of their light novels. There isn't going to be a third volume of Strawberry Panic released. I'm very sorry. But they're releasing a spiffy omnibus of the manga soon! Yay?

Yeah, I was hoping that would be the case-- the restocking thing. But we'll see. D:

What?! Well, Borders still had it listed online... I guess they'll have to reimburse me for that. (...again.) WTF, omnibus of the manga? They only put out, lyke, TWO volumes.

Wow, that's great news! I really liked the Second Raid, so if this version is even better... :D

[breyzyyin]

Oh, yay! That is great news! :D
