lucathiaI got my hands on the novels, the manhua, and even 1 artbook thanks to my dad's trip to Taiwan~ ^___^
This is volume 7 from the complete edition for the novels. The covers for the complete edition are all chibi drawings, which actually looked pretty good once I had these in my hand. I didn't like them at first. The printing of the covers is gorgeous. The middle character is glossy and slightly raised while the surrounding characters are velvety. There's a one page short comic in each volume, and there's also an extra "interview" with the characters. I haven't read them yet. I'm not sure I want to carry this around in my purse. I might ruin the covers. XD;
I now have 7 volumes of the manhua! The back flap of the first volume had a pic of Prince in his beginner outfit in color. I wish I had that pic before I took my own guess on the color scheme.
That redhead is Kenshin, right? :O With Arctic Fox. Does this mean Kenshin is the first to star on more than one cover? XD; Even before Prince? I like this cover. :3
I wanted the complete set of the novels, but they didn't have volume 1. (Which has Odd Squad with Prince in the middle on the cover) ;__; I'll probably read volume 12 first since that's the only new material I haven't read. Volume 12 focuses on the 'new' generation. Hm.
The bookstore said there were three 1/2 Prince artbooks, except I had no idea what to expect about them, so I just told my dad to get them all. XD; They could only find 1 though, and it was this one. The artwork looks like the artwork from the covers for the first printing of the novels. Prince has silver-ish hair in the novels, doesn't he? That girl in the back is Lan. The inside of this had some character profiles and some artwork from the novels. Gui is much more feminine looking (reminds me of Soren from Fire Emblem). I like how Wicked looks here though! There's a sketch of Wolf in real life but not in the game...

*flails. HARD*
Date: 2010-05-06 07:58 am (UTC)From that seventh novel volume: so, we've still got a huge amount of characters to see yet. :33 And wow, that's a lot of work for the covers if they're doing that for all of them.
I saw the second picture and promptly zoomed in on the latest volume. And was just going 'Wait - wait - wait, is that-? Is that - !!' And then I scrolled down some more.
:DD
I'd say, yes it's Kenshin, because you can just see his scar poking out from under his hair. -___- It just looks like another lock.
Does this mean Kenshin is the first to star on more than one cover? XD; Even before Prince?
I didn't notice that! XDD Woo for my favourite character!
And he looks pretty different from the sixth to the seventh. XD
*looks at the second picture again.* ... =/ I don't like Wicked's cover. I know it's more dynamic but... A little too close?
*back to the third picture* But this picture's pretty dynamic too! And I like Artic Fox's sword too. :3
As soon as the seventh volume gets scanlated and hopefully with that cover, that cover is going to become my desktop picture. :D
Should this be the time that I have a mini 1/2 Prince/SIGN crossover? It's not an explicit crossover, just a passing thing but...
*flails happily*
Re: *flails. HARD*
Date: 2010-05-06 08:28 am (UTC)Oh yes, there are still lots of characters. I like the 10th cover for the novels because it has everyone's real life counterpart. :3
Yeah, after taking another look, I can tell this is Kenshin. He looks really cool here! His scar does almost blend with his hair. He's still wearing newbie clothes underneath though, hehe. XD Arctic Fox looks really cool here too. :3 Wolf, Doll, and Yu Lian didn't even get to be on a cover yet, but Kenshin gets to be on two! XD;
I don't like Wicked's cover either. His head is...too small. XD; His expression is pretty weird too.
I might be biased, but I think out of all 7 of the manhua (oops, I keep calling it manga, haha), volume 7 looks the prettiest. :3
If you want, I could scan the image for you. XD; You can have it for your desktop now. XDD
This sounds like a good time for that crossover, hehe.
Re: *flails. HARD*
Date: 2010-05-06 09:29 am (UTC)DDD: But that's hours and hours away! I've pretty much just came in!
So going to be smiling and being really happy for the rest of the day though. :DD*Will not look up and try and find the tenth cover* XD That's so cool.
=/ His scar looks red from the picture. And wow Kenshin's jacket thing is really colourful. Just quickly glancing through the manhua (eheheh, got the right chapter straight off. I know the Kenshin chapters far too well. XD) Kenshin doesn't wear it open then.
... omg. The seventh cover is up on the fortieth chapter and I hadn't realised because I skipped right past it to get to the actual chapter. But there's lettering all over it. :(
Now let's just hope that Kenshin get a cover all for himself soon too! :3
*looks back to Wicked's cover* Uh, the way that everything is in perspective, the viewer should be at... below waist level. O___o;;
:DD I'm oh so very biased and I'm totally agreeing with you. *whoops for joy*
Eeeeeee! If you're sure.
XD So, there's like, four or five things that I want to write straight after finishing uni. XD Weeeee!
Re: *flails. HARD*
Date: 2010-05-07 12:17 am (UTC)His scar is actually just a thin line. I don't think you can see it very well from the above pic, but I scanned the cover today at 600 dpi, so the image is fairly huge (and you can see his thin, long scar). You can do whatever you want with this pic. I'm sure you'll have to resize it. XD;
Here it is! (*fixes link)
Volume 7 doesn't have any chapters I haven't seen yet from the scanlations since the scanlations are from the magazine chapters, which are faster. But it's nice having this in volume form. :D
LOL. Three covers for Kenshin? He already has two! XD
It's great to have plunnies! XD; Oh, and I got your letter today. XDDDD Was surprising! ^__^ I'll send one back!
Re: *flails. HARD*
Date: 2010-05-07 04:04 am (UTC)=/ Yeah, so what I thought was his scar actually was a lock of hair. *facepalm* I was staring at the cover page in chapter 40 and my icons and saw that what I thought was his scar was going in the wrong direction.
Eeeeee! Thanks. :DDD
*clicks on it* Woo! *clicks on it again* Well, it's not that big... and I can click on it again? *clicks* ... Wow. XDD It's still loading as I'm typing.
:3 I hope this series'll get translated so I can have a much easier time re-re-reading it. :DD
And if has two, when the main character only has one, then that means that he could get a third one! XDD
*nods* Oh, especially since it's been a while since I've written properly. It'll be fun getting back into it.
:D I was hoping for it to be surprising. I'd sent it on the Saturday, and I thought that it would arrive today. Sent it first thing on the Saturday morning, so that could be why. Or something. :3
Re: *flails. HARD*
Date: 2010-05-07 05:07 am (UTC)Hahaha, it's a fairly large image. :3
LOL, re-re-reading. New word!
Heh, so you got the timing all figured out from previous tries? XD; This letter was pretty surprising! XD; When I saw the outside of the letter, I already recognized your writing (and the fact that there's no return address on the outside, haha).
Re: *flails. HARD*
Date: 2010-05-07 08:17 pm (UTC):3 S'why I used it. I'm not sure if the scar continues up to his forehead because his hair's the way. :)
XD Yup! Though it wouldn't be re-re-reading, because I'd have just re-read the series soooo much by the time the English volumes came out. XD;;
:D Yep. Now I have an idea of how early I should send your christmas card. Sorta, since that time is so completely different from normal. I think I'll just send it on the first of December, just to make sure. ~___~;;
XD Eee! I think my handwriting looks so childish when I don't do joined up handwriting. I was worried that, idunno, the envelope would get wet and then you wouldn't be able to see it (except, if that happened, the letter probably wouldn't get to you anyway. So I just think of worst case senarios).
Re: *flails. HARD*
Date: 2010-05-07 10:22 pm (UTC)The first of December? (and yay, Christmas cards!) I don't think I was ever on task enough to send my Christmas cards out by the beginning of the month. Cards always end up...as New Years cards. And I can't blame it on the mail system. XD;
Your handwriting is slightly bubbly. XD; Prettier than mine! Mine is kind of...not very neat. Unless I really try. XD Hahaha, those are some pretty bad worse case scenarios you thought up! Is it raining hard for you? It's been sunny all week for me. XDDD
Re: *flails. HARD*
Date: 2010-05-07 10:45 pm (UTC)I'm... amused in my exams, when I'm looking over what I've written, because my handwriting gets more flicky, sorta. The little ticks at the start of every word gets hugs. XDD
I can only do really neat if I've got lines to follow. X3;
I think it's sometimes just that I have an active imagination that worries sometimes. -___-'' I don't think the weather's been that wet, but I've been inside most of the time so by the time I get out, most of it's passed over anyway. It's nice being able to leave uni and it still being light now, instead of being nearly pitch-black.
Some flights had to be cancelled again recently because the ash was up in the air again. =S
