Alichino - a long shot, but maybe someone can help

[Yukimura]

I've pretty much given up hope that Alichino will ever be continued but I still love the series. I found some scans that would have been in book 4 online, but it's not even an entire chapter. I was wondering if anyone had old issues of the Eyes magazine featuring chapters that ould have been in Book 4? I know it's a long shot, but I figured I would give it a try.

Here's the site with the scans:

Myoubi comes back, Hyula comes back and Roushouki just gets ~really~ close to poor Enju (I didn't think Alichino would go too far into yaoi~~ ^o^)

are you certain those scans are from the next volume? some look suspiciously like ones from volume 3 - I especially remember this one: http://www.shoujo-manga.net/recensio.../Ali_tav26.JPG

as I plan to make that dress for myself... I am almost in love with it as much as Sage gothic lolita wedding dress from Under the Galss moon *__*

anyway - when was volume 3 published - I got a feeling that these books have more than the usual 4 month gap between them as they are by far better quality paper and priint than a tankubon.

She's talking about the pictures farther down, in red ^_^

It would probably be possible to get our hands on the old EYEs magazines, but we have no idea what issues those chapers were published in...and plus we don't have any translators available to translate it.

Oh, they're from volume 8, august 2001. I just wouldn't even know where to look for old manga... I managed to read what's there already but not all of the pages are scanned. And they're really blurry so it's hard to make out some kanji. Bleh. Roushouki is sooo hitting on Enju and the fangirl in me is screaming for joy. ^^;; I am probably a little too obsessed... i'm forcing my poor sister to dress up as myoubi...

Meep! oops! hehe - silly me didn't scroll all the way down [img]tongue.gif[/img]

they are gorgeous as expected but the fact that they are from 2001 is a bit worrying to be honest. but you never know - there is always hope that it will suddenly be picked up it happened before if the fandom is loud enough over there.

kinda hope that would happen with yami No Matsuei as well ...

And what if we email the webmaster and ask for more and better scans to translate?

Actually, although it is a beautiful manga, I myself have a lot of doubts it will ever be completed. This is 'cos it doesn't seem like the story will end anytime soon and that quite a few writers/artists have little patience for anything that takes more than a few years to complete(or they get tired and give it some crappy ending, thus ruining the entire story). ^^;;

[Yukimura]

I can photoshop those scans for clarity and scanlate them if anybody is interested... it's something, at least. It's a pity that the manga ended so soon because after 3 books of foreshadowing, I was about ready for some action! ^^;; I would email the webmaster of that site to beg for more scans, but... I don't know any italian. ^^;;;

Just write in english. I'm sure she understands it.
Crisis should look in that thread and say something.

Btw, if I'm not wrong, Eyes has folded. That might be why there is no more news about Alichino. The same thing happened to Yuu Higuri's Gorgeous Charat, which was cut off at Volume 4 'cos the magazine went kablam or something like that... ^^;;

Man, if the magazine folded or something like that, I think there'd be some sort of licensing/copyright/legal problems for Alichino since that'd mean the author/artist would have to send in the issues to another magazine if they wanted to continue. ^^;;

Edit: Btw, I found something that some people might want to have a look at.
