I stopped reading after two volumes. Not that it was boring, but I had some others to read, so I putted this on hold.

Well, gotta start somewhere. But then I need to have accumulated enough experience points before moving to Stage 2 :) .

I'd love to see the novels translated. It's near impossible to even find the first two (and I heard only the first was done well) and considering the company closed, it seems they may never show up anytime soon...

On the bright side, the next novel comes out on the 25th.

I will say that after watching the anime, I would like to read these novels because I get the feeling that they messed with the ending. I cannot prove that unless I read them or someone tells me. Although I would prefer the former, I get the feeling that that will not happen anytime soon...

I don't think they essentially messed with it (I did hear they do a time skip and etc.), but I'm pretty sure they sped it up in the Anime.... I'd love to read the novels even more now so I can get more of an idea on the story and what happened.
Spoiler! :
I'm still kind of confused on the dress change and area change (I almost wanted to say they were getting married but Kujo's outfit was the same entirely) at the end...

A translation of this would really be great. Like many series, they were forced to rush things as the series progressed. To read the novels and get all the details would be a real treat.

With TokyoPop's licenses in limbo right now, I doubt this will happen anytime soon. The problem, as many have pointed out, is that many request but few want to translate. We need both for things to work here. Actually, we need more of the latter.

Since TokyoPop is no more. Would it be against the law to upload the translations of the first two volumes here?

I don't think so...I think when a book has been licensed, it's licensed for long.

You're probably right, I'll just have to hope that someone does vol 3 even though the first two aren't avaible here.

I would love to see this series translated. While does have a few flaws and is a tad bit cliche, I enjoyed it and the ending was a bit abrupt, and would love to read an extension of it.

The novels are still ongoing, so it is not like it is impossible. However, we need people who are willing to translate. The problem we have here, as described by many, is that we have a high demand for different volumes but no one willing to help.
