Revision as of 08:49, 21 July 2006
Kara no Kyoukai ("空の境界") is a series of stories written by Kinoko Nasu (奈須きのこ) with illustrations by Takeshi Takeuchi (武内崇).
The first five chapters were posted online on Nasu and Takeuchi's dojin website "Takebouki (竹箒)" starting Oct 1998, and the last two chapters being released at Comiket 56 in 1999. In 2001, part of the story was included in "Tsukihime PLUS-DISK (月姫PLUS-DISC)," created by Typemoon, the dojin circle Nasu and Takeuchi joined. The story gained huge popularity, and the dojinshi edition of the stories saw release on December 30, 2001 at Comiket 61.
Afterwards, the series gained wide attention through merchandises like the drama CDs, and on June 8 2004 the story was republished as the commerical edition by Koudansha (講談社). At the same day, 5000 copies of the limited collection edition were sold for a high price of 9800yen, but were sold out merely two hours after pre-order started -- this immediately hit the headlines. In the end, the normal edition and the collection edition combined had sold about 500,000 copies. The commercial edition was about the same in content as the doujinshi edition, but with slight differences in punctuation or word usage due to more detailed revision and editing.
The protagonist Shiki Ryougi (両儀式) possesses the same power as Tsukihime (月姫)'s Shiki Tohno (遠野志貴). Touko Aozaki (蒼崎橙子), one side character in Kara no Kyouka, is the sister of Tsukihime's Aoko Aozaki (蒼崎青子). So the two stories are regarded as having the same world view.
The series is nicknamed "Rakkyo." It is a common debate whether the series should eb regarded a light novel or not.
Please understand that although a large amount of translation has been made available, it is pre-translated work that has been re-arranged to match the novel format that was used in 2001. If you would like to edit the chapters, or contribute translation scripts (thus turning this more into a project rather than a teaser), please feel free to edit.
