Is this the one...?

[crisisdreams]

Yup yup! Traditional chinese...but I'm planning to force one of my Japanese friends (lalala...) to translate the Hana to Yume stuff for me...the only problem is they sell Hana to Yume in Hong Kong but they don't sell Betu Hana to Yume!! T_____T (Count Cain is serialized in Hana to Yume while the vampire story is in Betsu...) I looked *everywhere* today! Grrrrr wanna read vampire story...............

Edit: Oh~~lucky! A friend of mine who knows Hong Kong a lot better than I do told me a special place where I can buy Betu Hana to Yume. ^w^

Just saying hi, Lady Elanor. Nice to have you join us.

Oi, I'm behind on manga-reading. Well, it's Friday now, three day weekend!

[Lady Elanor]

Yep, Cain is also very cool.(Can't wait reading Volume 4 and 5) ^^
I think I spammed enough here. *g* Hope Crisis can get the Vampire story. [img]smile.gif[/img]

By the way a big compliment and thank for all the great translations! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Vampire dude is the splitting image of Kaine and the girl, every Sara lookalike
neway, this is another Kaori Yuki manga rite? one of her new short story stuff?
I can hardly wait...

If you want it, I suggest you go get it soon. I'm not sure how long an issue of 'Betsu' is on sale for, but 'HtY' is only on sale for about a fortnight, even less in it runs out of stock. Since buying it online is a pain in the neck, you're better off chasing after it now while it may still be in stores.

Lady Elanor: I liked boys Next door very much too...in fact I pretty much like all Yuki's works ^____^ I'd have to say that Count Cain is my favorite though.

Lucethira: Yay for the weekends! I get a three day weekend too ^______^

Crisis: Yippee for friends! I hope you manage to get the Betu Hana to Yume [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

T__T I go trekking all around Hong Kong looking for this underground store that's supposed to sell Betsu, and when I finally find it, they're sold out! -___- Do you know where I could buy it online, since I'm going to resort to that...I'll try to ask my friend in Japan to get it for me, but I'm afraid that it may be sold out there too. Hmm...and this Japanese dept. store here says that it takes 2 months for Betsu to get to their shop, so I'll only be able to read the vampire story on March 5. Grrr...

Yay, back to Japanese language interface; will go look now and see if I can find anything useful... (sweatdrop) I assume they write Hana to Yume with the usual kanji anyway... ^^;;

Ed: Looks like it's Hana in kanji and Yume in hiragana. There may be such a thing as too much success -- I ended up with 2,231 hits at Amazon.co.jp. @_@ I'm going to try again with the title posted earlier in this thread...

Re-ed: They don't index magazines by story title unfortunately. Kaori Yuki brings up a lot of titles but they're all books. @_@ I just want a way to find the magazines dagnabbit... Kinokuniya gave me 3200-odd hits on Hana to Yume... but I'm too stubborn to give up yet!

Here are my four best guesses, but they all have Japanese-language interfaces:

www.kinokuniya.com
(actually this one has a significant amount of English available)
www.amazon.co.jp
www.asahiyausa.com
www.sasugabooks.com

Can't do a serious hunt until I get back to a computer with a Japanese interface though...

And here I was under the illusion that Hong Kong has everything... T_T Actually, I have no idea. Normally, I'd suggest looking for your local Kinokuniya store, but assuming you're in Hong Kong, I doubt there is one. I had a look for you online, but no success there, either. Half the links either don't work, only sell second-hand books, or delivers only to Tawain residents. ^^; Sorry, no help here. Maybe you should try some global bookstores. I could try looking here for you, but they only sell about 5 copies per issue at the place I know, so I don't know if they'd be sold out already. Gomen. ;_;
