Raidou Kuzunoha vs The Messenger of the Dead

[unknown]

It's a novel prequel to the 1st Kuzunoha game, when Raidou just arrived in the Capital, I found a translation project by Ari of Livejournal for it. Only 15 pages have been translated but it's still pretty interesting and has some nice art.

I read that too... Looks pretty interesting.
Is Kyouji really over 1000 years old? :D
He claimed that he's the first Kyouji.

And that one badass art.

Cool. I want more translation!! 8)

I want Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. Kyouji Kuzunoha.

EDIT: Scratch that, I want Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Kyouji Kuzunoha vs. Raidou Kuzunoha.

I want Raidou vs Kyouji =)

They didn't translate more of this novel?

The translator is busy with stuff in real life I guess.

I really hope SMT gets popular enough to warrent novel and possibly manga releases from Tokyopop.

Tokyopop brought over the .hack manga and novels though...and they also brought over SMT Kahn for god knows why.

I wish they brought over the Persona 1 manga instead =\

i was actually talking to a guy who works there and i mentioned they shouldve at least brought over if... as its the prequel to KAHN and persona 3 and 4 as well and he said this:

Hi, Raiku-san (and everyone else on this thread):

I just wanted to address a few of the suggestions and comments -- as I mentioned in another post (perhaps in another thread), I'll try to visit this community as often as I can to update you with TOKYOPOP info and answer as many questions as I can.

A few updates on specific series you mentions:

-Kindaichi: This is a great series, no doubt. I wish more fans discovered it (and fewer bookstores returned it). Alas, we have some licensor issues that we're sorting out, and hope to have news soon about its future.
-Megaten/KAHN: Thanks for the tip -- I'll bring this up with my acquisitions team.

With regard to your comments about genre and appealing solely to teenyboppers: I think you'll find during the past few month we've released a number of continuing volumes and new series that would appeal to people in their 20s (and even old guys like me!) -- Orange, The Twelve Kingdom, Return to Labyrinth, Petshop of Horrors: Tokyo, Future Diary, Burst Angel, Junjo Romantica (Yaoi), Battlestar Galactica, Warcraft, StarCraft, Tokko... I'm not sure if these series appeal to you -- you can read excerpts of these series on our site. They do cover the spectrum of genres, IMO, and I realize they're not for everyone; as my grandmother used to say, That's what makes horseracing.

Thanks for the comments and constructive criticism, and I'll try to check back again soon.

Cheers, all.
