Aww, sorry about the busy-ness!! Hope things have settled down some (or will soon).

From other manga adaptations of novels I've read, it seems like they cover something like 1 book per 2 manga volumes, so hopefully that's the case with Earl and Fairy too and it doesn't leave off in a bad spot. But wow, Japanese light novel series sure do go long. It seems weird compared to the novels I grew up reading. Well, I guess Boxcar Children and Baby Sitters Club were long-running series... but that seems different somehow.

Yay for your French manga! Do you actually order them from France? It seems like Canadian sellers might have better shipping rates (tho I've never compared them), but maybe they don't have the same selection?

It's similar to kdrama :) or jdrama!
Is your japanese fluent enough to read light novel?
Yeah, look at Saiunkoku isn't it like 18 volumes and a few short stories ( ... )

But that's still different, because it's a book, not a show! I s'pose manga compared to most comics is the same situation. I'm just more used to long running manga than long running book series, I guess ( ... )

Thanks. It's a long project!

How long did you study Japanese? Why did you want to learn japanese?
"the Canadian prices are probably higher priced to begin with because they had to be imported?"
yes, since the publishers are in Europe.

"But I'm glad you found a good way to read manga that you can't find in English!"
Me, too. I'm glad my parents made me learn French and paid for lessons when I was younger :)
