Kara no Kyoukai- Re-Translate

Post by aassddff »

Hi,
Ever since the announcement of Del Rey translating Kara no Kyoukai in 2009, many translators- if not all, have dropped their translations including mirror moon. As of 2011, Del Rey has not translated any more than the first chapter preview in Faust. It would appear that Del Rey have canceled their license according to an email I sent to them:

Question/Comment: In the year 2009, the company Del Rey was to release the light novel series: Kara no Kyoukai. As of 2011, there has still been no word on the release of the books. I would like to know if they are still translating the books or have dropped the project. Thank-you in advance

As it would appear that they have dropped their translations, I would like to request for the translations to be put back up on the site and if the previous translations were not completed, to be translated fully. Alot of fans would appreciate the english translations to be put back up and I hope that they will be!

ps: Please do correct me if I am wrong in saying that Del Rey are no longer translating Kara no Kyoukai and if another company has licensed it after Del Rey quit translating the novels.
pps: I have also checked with the names: the garden of sinners and kara no kyokai and they don't have those names in their previous or current database.

thanks =D

You don't have to copy and paste the same thread

If nobody gave you a proper reply the first time, chances are you won't get one the 2nd time :roll:

(Not to mention this is the wrong forum but that's not my job)
