The manhua bundles are so pretty. They all come bundled with 1 illustrated bag, 1 novel side story, around 70 something pages of manhua, and two illustrated cards. Christmas edition has a calendar too. This is the 4th bundle, and the side story this time is about Ceo Storm, titled "Owing a Favor". Seems like Yu Wo posts the stories on her blog half a year later... so I guess this means this story will be revealed around June, ahhh. Such a long time away. I wish these bundles weren't only sold in conventions. Bundle #1 has the side story with Lesus (Making a Mistake), bundle #2 has Ecilan's side story (Sweetly Smiling), and bundle #3 has the side story with Georgo (An Honest Style). It's a lot easier to get my hands on the compiled manhua instead of these bundles... but I want those side stories and those cards, especially bundle #2 with Ecilan!! D: Hm, the covers of volumes 1 and 2 of the manhua actually connect though into one long illustration. How pretty. *___* I wonder if the cover of volume 3 will lengthen the image even more...

I did some more searching... some of the side stories have manhua versions *flails*. They might be what was bundled with the 4th, 5th, and 6th volumes of the novel. (These ones say they're novel + manhua bundles). If so... I want these. XD; *calculates shipping* So expensive. T___T;



The covers for the compiled version of the manhua connect. *___*

Below are some snippets from manhua side stories drawn by Ya Sha. I really want these, but shipping is quite outrageous (it's even more than the price of the novels themselves). Maybe next time my dad goes to Taiwan... XD;


Lesus side story, Facing the Darkness. I wonder which volume of the novel this is bundled with. *__*


Chikus side story (though the image I pulled out here is of Grisia because I can't help but giggle at how the sword flew out of his hands like this during practice).


Ecilan side story (that's his teacher on the ground. Ecilan offers him some bread here, and then his teacher pulled him off to the selection. After this page, Grisia goes "Isn't that kidnapping??")


Side story about Neo and Chasel trying to pick the next Sun and Judgment. Grisia is so cute here~ :D


More from the above side story. Young Grisia and Lesus~


Neo and Chasel, completely defeated by Lesus and Grisia's answers.


Neo asking Grisia, "You got in a fight?" He doesn't look impressed at all. XD

My list of stuff I want to buy is getting longer. XDD Maybe I need a merchandise tag. =x

GUH. *________* omggggggg, I want these so much!

*looks at the sixth cover* Eeeeee! Is that the assassin I see~?

"The covers for the compiled version of the manhua connect."
*_____* Woooow.

Chikus, aaaah, move out the way! XDD But ahaha, Grisia had long-ish hair then to!

Mini-Ecilan is so cute. *high-pitched squealing and flailing*

*flails* Grisia looks so cute when Neo and Chasel are picking the next Sun and Judgement! And eeeee, Neo!

EEeeeeeee! Lesus had short hair when he was younger! *checks the manhua* Ooooh, he just has long hair at the front, while the rest of it is short. I thought he had hair like Grisia. XDD

=x Haha, oops. When I was scrolling up and down, I thought Neo and Chasel were Grisia and Lesus grown up.

Aaaaaah, I want to write more!

Yeeeeah, the introduction of the manhua was really confusing and didn't make sense. =S I was able to recognise Storm and Earth at the start, but that was it.

*looks back at it* Wait. Is that Ecilan in the coloured section of the introduction, omg eeeeeeeee.

I think Pink might be on the next cover? She's the next character that shows up the most, though, she's appeared in this volume. So, maybe Roland. Or the dragon assassin. XDD

XDD No spoil~ing me. I can't wait to see what happens! :D

XD Wow, an entire page? That's so long!

He iiiiis!

adfae Eeeeeeeee!

I haaaave. *grins and laughs*

I remembered him because we was the first character we saw and I was flailing going, 'A different character we haven't seen in the novel yet! Yey!'

I think it was the cake that made me recognise him better this time. And there's a mini-Judgement! Eeeeeee!
