Akira Norikazu

[maywong]

Does anybody know if author Akira Norikazu's works came out in english? I love her work as it reminders me of the Finder series.

Maywong, we are in luck. June will publish sensei's "Beast & Feast" early next year. I am so looking fwd to that. And SuBLime has licensed "Hachimitsu Darling" as well. I adore her artwork as well.

[PalenMisha]

Ooh I know. I'll be buying copies of both. I wish more of her stuff would get licensed. Her artwork is beautiful.

[maywong]

I'm going to buy both when they come out. I hope more of her work gets licensed. I would buy them all. I'm still looking for the "Sprirt of the Roses" that pub. Dramaqueen came out with in english. (Did it really come out? Some sites say preorder for this book?"

[PalenMisha]

Last I heard Drama Queen had launched a 'mini' comeback and they were selling a few books directly through their online shop. No clue if they still are and no clue what was actually available. Given their track record I'm kind of wary of buying anything off their site so I've been reluctant to check it out for fear of finding something that I'm in want of from their line up (oh the titles they've been sitting on!).

[maywong]

Well I did email Dramaqueen asking them about that book but I haven't heard back from them. I hope DMP/June also picks up some more of Akira Norikazu's works. I would love to see some of her older works like "Trigger", "Heart Strings", "Twin Labyrinth" etc publish in english. Also "The Roses/Sprirt of the Roses" that pub. Dramaqueen did had.

[maywong]

So it sounds like Dramaqueen never put out "Sprirt of the Roses". I don't know if they had or still have the lic. for this book. Which means it's probably up for grabs. Let's hope DMP/June picks this one up along with the other older books that she has. (fingers cross)

[PalenMisha]

Hard to say with DramaQueen in terms of what licenses they sat on (or are still sitting on) since they held onto Tyrant Falls In Love for ages after all. I shall keep my fingers crossed too though since the more that gets rescued from them the more likely I'll get to see NOT/LOVE picked up and I would love to see all things Miyamoto Kano get licensed and actually published.

[maywong]

Why doesn't Dramaqueen want to give up the licenses to the books that they have been sitting on if they aren't going to publish them? Arrgggg! I still haven'y heard back from them.

[maywong]

Is SuBLime has who has licensed "Hachimitsu Darling" is going to come out with a printed copy. Does anyone know ?
