The Twelve Kingdoms Forum

i know this topic has been asked several times but since that was quite long time ago, i want to confirm the stats again...

how's fuyumi ono? does she start to write novel (especialy juuni kokki) again?? if not where too find her news? preferable in eng but jap it's ok...

also where to buy the novel in english?

abd regarding the anime series, has the director (or the character designer???) cured from his illness??? it's the reason they stop the anime series right?

I really a big fan of juuni kokki (just recently watched the animation). It's the best animation ever (perfect plot, character, etc). So maybe is there anything I can do to support juuni kokki?

thanks

i can respond to a few questions :

for the novel ,
no fuyumi ono don't start to write again on juuni kokki
no you can't buy the novel in english
but but
there are a few sites of fans where you can find translations of parts of the novels in english and in french

in english :
here
on otakyu

on the site of eugene woddbury

if you know a little on webmastering and coding in html contact harunako on otakyu, he need some help to pass more time to translate


i think also that juuni kokki is the best anime i saw

does the novel has sai-ou (i like the sairin. she very cute), ryuu-ou arc also? coz their character quite interesting.

It's a shame she quit writing juuni kokki. do you know the reason why she quit? There's alot of things to tell about the 12 kingdoms....

heard that ono began writing mystrey~~~ i wanna read the story about taiki

there is actually 12 volumes and 8 story arcs :
2 volumes on taiki and the accsion to the throne of gyousou
1 wich talk of the life of taiki in modern japan
2 : where tyouko become empress of kei
1 : en-ou supress the rebellion in ghis kingdom
2 : the story of youko, suzu and syoukei and the liberation of wa province
2 : risai, general of tai want youko to help the kingdom of tai
1 : syousou becom empress of kou
1 : short stories of tai, hou, kei, sai, sou

that's all

so in the 2 voulumes where youko become empress, i sure they talk about kourin, but i don't know if we learn more about her
