The Twelve Kingdoms Forum

I was hoping the 12ktp site trans would continue since it covers the anime from the start. Seeing as the book deal is distant, it would help to keep up the work for newbies like me. Whimper. Plead.

I believe there is also a note in the journal (if we're looking at the same site) that says this person is on vacation ....

I think Niwashi is referring to the translations provided by 12ktp (same provider as these forums), not the Anime Observer translations (which everyone here MUST read). You're right though, the guy from Anime Observer is on an extended leave for now.
