Masyou no Ko

I was reading the FAQ over at http://people.cornell.edu/pages/kf49/an ... index.html and it mentioned the above novel - the first JK novel to be published actually.

So Taiki's second return to the JK has already been confirmed - I'm wondering if they will definitely do an anime adaptation of it.

Anyway, anyone care to translate this? Or drop some hints for us poor souls here.

Taiki's return to 12K land was published in 2001 (it's two novels,
like the other main arcs in this story). The story being translated in that
site is actually a short story while Taiki is still small (aka, before he
disappeared) that was published along with other short stories in a
compilation.

The first novel in the 12K world to be published is actually Youko's first
adventure if I'm not mistaken. But in the cronology of the story of that
world, the first to happen is the one about En-ou being translated in that
site. Or something like that

According to the FAQ, the JK novels were published a long time ago ->

2) Which title is the beginning of Juuni Kokki?

Depending on your definition, I can identify three "starts" of the Juuni Kokki story.

i) Tsuki no Kage, Kage no Umi
The start of Juuni Kokki in the sense that it provides the best introduction to the Juuni Kokki world. Also, the anime starts here. About Youko's adventure in the Juuni Kokki World.

ii) Masyou no Ko
The first story ever published which is related to the world of Junni Kokki. About Taiki (Takasato)'s second return to our world.

iii) Higashi no Wadatsumi, Nishi no Soukai
The first story ever happened among the volumes of Juuni Kokki. About the Kingdom of En around 600 years ago.

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 Sora)
乗月 (Jougetsu)
黄昏の岸　暁の天 (Tasokare no Kishi, xxx no Sora), 魔性の子 (Masyou no Ko)?

I think that's read "Tasogare no Kishi, Akatsuki no Ten."

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

That's strange, then, since the kanji is definitely "ten" and not "sora," and my dictionary doesn't list "sora" as a pronunciation for it. Ten can mean "heavens" or "sky," while "sora" just means "sky."

But who am I to argue with furigana?

If you read enough Japanese, you eventually come across strange cases like these. You sometimes have the furigana saying one thing, with the kanji being something else. Something that's fairly common is for someone to say a word like "aitsu" (that person) or "anata/anta/kimi/omae/temae/kisama" (one of the variants for "you") as furigana over a person's name. Basically, the furigana is what the person actually says, and the kanji is to clarify who the person is, in case it isn't clear to the readers.

So in this case, I'd guess the intention is to mean "the sky at dawn" or "the dawn sky" but to have a suggestion that it applies to something grander - the heavens / Tentei / the emperors who live about the clouds.

Keiki's thinking, "Stubborn..."
Youko's thinking, "Who is it? Who?" (Actually, "Which one? Which one?")

Heh.
