*spoilers*
*i was spoiled by a certain "somebody" with the novels ^^*

The fact that enki didn't sense Taiki during the second time in hourai is because Taikis horn was cut off T_T. which you notice in the anime when he returned to japan naked he also had blood on his forehead and lost of memory ...

Being Chinese helps a bit, a guess :)

I won't claim to understand absolutely everything...but with a basic understanding of Japanese, knowledge of a few common words, and reading the kanji, I was at least able to get the general gist of Tasogare no Kishi, Akatsuki no Sora. Though at the same time I ...

The last novel (Tasogare no Kishi, Akatsuki no Sora, second part) was published in 2001, I think.

Watch till 39 (or 40). 39 provides a really good closure, and 40 is a standalone episode that might be considered as a kind of closure in its own right (for one specific character...). Trust me, you won't regret it

Unfortunately I'm the harbringer of bad news: this season of JK is ending at ep 45.

Here's the official notice:

You're right about Tasokare - it should be tasogare. But I'm pretty sure that it's sora instead of ten, because the hiragana on the cover is Sora (from amazon.co.jp, anyway). Thanks for the akatsuki too...probably should have recognised it from Naruto

As far as I can tell the various novels in chronological order would be:

東の海神 西の滄海 (Higashi no Wadatsumi,Nishi no Soukai)
図南の翼 (Tonan no Tsubasa)
華胥 (Kasyo no Yume)
風の海 迷宮の岸 (Kaze no Umi,Meikyuu no Kishi) , 冬栄 (Toei)
月の影 影の海 (Tsuki no Kage,Kage no Umi)
書簡 (Shokan)
風の万里 黎明の空 (Kaze no Banri,Reimei no ...

I have a question - so who are the Sankou now?
