Hi guys -

I have an extra issue of Rinka Flowers that has to go. This was the first issue running Sakura Gari and it's still shrink wrapped (I think it was published in July 2007). I would also considering trading it for vol #4. Asking $4 plus shipping worldwide.

If someone wants my other Rinka Flowers (1,2,3,5) I would considering selling them as a set. I also have Genbu Kaiden and Ceres stuff that needs rehoming.

Thanks!

As many of you may know by now, Viz has it's own BL imprint now. Since it's start, I as well as others have requested Sakura Gari from them as a possible license. It seemed Viz would be the only one able to do so since they have all of Yuu Watase's works released here in the US.

Well today I got this response on Twitter:

Re: Sakuragari, that's not one we can risk publishing. Sorry! :-(

So I guess Sakura Gari's chances of ever coming over have dropped significantly.
Time to finally import  >.<
 

edit: reason for risk was mentioned
Content is a legal issue though

I can't translate all the information in english ( sorry, my english isn't so good ), but may be you can use a online translator  ^^"

does anyone here know the specific name of the type of uniform Souma is wearing in this picture?



it's the uniform that boys wore during the Taisho era, but...I don't know what it's called, and since I don't know what it's called I can't google it....

anyone have any idea? "taisho era boys uniform" gets a LOT of hits.

Hi, I have an extra volume of Rinka Flowers vol. 1 still in plastic I want to sell.

Hello, it's been a long time since this community was updated. I guess that since Sakura Gari has ended, it became sort of dead. Well, I have some news to share.

Firstly, this month, Yuu Watase will attend the comiket 78 on 15 August 2010 and will sell a Sakura Gari booklet. The booklet will be size A4 and will contain informations, sketchs, pictures and even a calendar. More informations about it on Yuu Watase's website, since I can't read japanese (I'm using a online translator), it'd be nice if someone can say more details I missed.
Here the cover of this wonderful thing, the cover can be used as a poster and it's in full color.

The booklet can also be purchased on a japanese website, Animate Online Shop, where you can see the calendar and poster.

Secondly, the third and last volume will be released in french on 29 September 2010. (I can't wait to get it on my hands *__*)
Here the cover:

Thirdly, here the new wallpaper posted on Watase-sensei's website:

And lastly, here an ad for Yuu Watase's stand on the comiket posted on her blog.

Hi!   =^.^=
I've just ordered volume two of Sakura Gari, french edition.



I'd like to know if someone here has already bought the volume and if can tell me if this time they put the atogaki wrote by Watase-sensei with also some explanation about the absence of the first atogaki, in volume one.
Thank you in advance.
