LSK stuff! \o\ These arrived in two shipments. Very happy I received these before the year ended.
Legend of Sun Knight manhua v4 + poster of Cloud, J.U./Rippleless artbook (she draws doujinshi of LSK and is also the artist for some of the official merchandize), 3 LSK doujinshi, and 3 volumes of Key of the Sunken Moon by Shui Quan. These three volumes are part of the spin-off. I've yet to read the main series though. I hope I end up liking the series!
J.U. artbook
This features her doujin art from 2008 to 2011. There's a lot of art of Grisia, Lesus, Neo, and Aldrizzt. :3 The second half of the artbook is all chibi art. Some pics of the artbook by J.U. herself. Very happy I managed to get my hands on this! J.U. doesn't ship overseas, so I was sad that I wouldn't be able to buy this, but then she put it up on Lazyyy, which does ship overseas!
While I was at it, I also grabbed all the available LSK doujinshi on Lazyyy, which wasn't a lot, sadly. ):
Childishness (J.U.)
This was quite cute. Features Neo and Chasel in the beginning portion. Grisia is still quite young in this, and he gets into a fight with Georgo, haha. There's a part in the middle where Grisia is practicing how to drink and gets found by Lesus. The end section features Georgo mistaking Grisia for a girl. XD;;
Promise (Sixland)
A Grisia x Lesus doujinshi, set after volume 7. It's quite touching~, and there's also a part featuring Grisia, Lesus, and Roland during the selections.
Small Little Knight School (4koma) (Cat-g) [title translate by me XD;;;; not the official English title!]
This is volume 6! Wish I had the previous volumes because this was adorable. Grisia is about to graduate. Neo instructs him some more on what the Sun Knight should be like, and he finally realizes that Grisia getting a job means he will now be out of a job. XD; Near the end, Grisia is sick of being drawn all chibified, so he turns normal-styled and dazzles all the girls, but Georgo does the same and they kind of fight but they're still trying to keep up their image at the same time. But then suddenly, Ceo appears and steals all the attention. 8D; The 4th wall breakage is awesome. A cute clearfile and sticker sheets are included with this~
LSK Manhua v4
I've already read all the chapters included in this volume since I bought the separate chapters from the CWT conventions. V4 is the start of volume 2 of the novels. There's a pretty cool Q&A included in the back of this though!
Translation below! (names of the people who submitted the questions and where they're from have not been translated, and I paraphrased in many parts!)
I also use spoiler tags below!
Happy new years everyone. ♥
By the way, the translation of the Half Prince novels has finally been completed, wow! If you've never read 1/2 Prince before, or you think you might give it a try, now is a good time since the whole thing has been completed! :D Translations can be found over here. Cold Fox has awesome screen time in the ending chapters. 8D
(As for Lucathia spending money, I also bought Oresama Teacher v15, Kimi to Boku v12, Junai Labyrinth v7, Akatsuki no Yona v10, and Bokura no Kiseki v7 last week. *watches money go down the drain*)

Sun Knight Mailbox
For this section, we have specially invited Neko Kreuz and Yu Wo to answer everyone's questions about The Legend of Sun Knight. You're welcome to write or email us. In your letter, make sure you include your pen name and your location! (because of the limited space, your words may be shortened so they can be more easily published)

<吾命騎士> 編輯部收
Q1: Following The Legend of Sun Knight, will Neko Kreuz and Yu Wo continue to collaborate? (Will another of Yu Wo's novels receive a manhua adaptation?)
Yu Wo: Asking now is still too early. LSK still has a ways to go! After that, there is still the spin-off. Neko Kreuz will have to spend a long time just to draw these. I don't know how long it would take to get to another series. (*looks at Neko Kreuz*)
Neko Kreuz: If you don't mind how I draw super slowly, please let me continue... (*gets hit*)
Q2: If time permits Neko Kreuz to finish drawing LSK, about how many volumes will there be?
Neko Kreuz: Since one volume of the novels takes around 2~3 volumes of the manhua, it'll probably take around 24 volumes to cover the entire series? XD
Q3: I'm curious about how Blaze turned so mature? In the novels, Blaze looks really cute and I like that, though the manhua version also looks very good. Still, I feel like Blaze suddenly grew up~ I'm not saying that it's not good, but just that it's very different from the novel version. When I first saw the manhua version, I was shocked, and I couldn't accept it at first. The cute shota suddenly grew up (*covers face*)
Yu Wo: In the novel itself, Blaze is indeed broad-shouldered and tall, so the manhua version is the accurate depiction!
Neko Kreuz: Since he's the tall type in the novel... the tall and broad shouldered type, I made modifications.
(Lucathia: there's a word play on shota here, but I have no idea what the opposite of shota is XD;;)
Q4: What do the Twelve Holy Knights like to eat the best? I only know that Sun likes to eat blueberries and sweets.
Yu Wo:
Storm: Eggs, can even use to massage his eyes (Lucathia: Chinese people sometimes use hard boiled eggs with the shell peeled to massage bruises. I don't know if other people do this too!)
Leaf: Food with seasoning added
Blaze: Meat, especially grilled meat
Cloud: Various juices
Earth: Alcohol.
Judgment: Dislikes nothing in particular
Ice: Bread
Moon: Meals made with love
Stone: Anything, as long as it tastes good
Metal:
Getting whipped. (Like how sometimes people say "Eat this!" when they hit someone, Metal wants to "eat" someone's whip, meaning he wants to be on the receiving end of it)
Hell: I don't need to eat.
Q5: Isn't Pink a corpse? Can she taste strawberry flavored food?
Yu Wo: Instead of eating, she's actually just enjoying the cool sensation. She also has to use a lot of strawberry jam before she can even taste anything from it. She can only taste something, and can't actually tell apart the flavors of sourness, sweetness, bitterness, or spiciness.
Q6: May I ask Yu Wo, how would you order the following handsome guys?
Yu Wo: This really depends on personal opinion... Take for example, Grisia and Lesus. Technically, Grisia is the better looker, but Lesus is more to my tastes, so I... Okay, let me order them in an unbiased fashion.
(Wait, most people would be scared of the Demon King, so I think I'll do a separate list for the handsome baddies!)
Normal Handsome Ranking
1. Awaitsun
2. Grisia Sun
3. Neo
4. Lesus Judgment
5. Wastelan (Ice)
6. Ceo (Storm)
7. Strawberry (Leaf)
8. Tyer (Tyler)
9. Slime (Laica)
10. Voila (Vival)Handsome Baddies List
1. Death Overlord Roland
2. Illu
3. Demon King Grisia
4. Death Knight Roland
(Lucathia: Some of the people on the list make me wonder! XD;; I didn't think they would be in the top 10? Or maybe Yu Wo was handed some characters and asked to order them, from the sound of the question...)
Q7: Neko Kreuz, I really admire your art style! It's so beautiful! Good luck! I have a question. Will manhua!Sun ever tie his hair up (because I'm more used to that... :3)
Neko Kreuz: Thanks! ♥ I just finished some redesigning. Do you like the blue ribbon? XD
Q8: Hello, I was wondering if there was a way to increase distribution of the manhua bundles? Lots of people want to buy them, but we can't buy them overseas! ): Even if there's no way to increase the amount in print, will they be sold overseas? I really want them! I love Legend of Sun Knight!
Yu Wo: This will probably depend on how our Taiwan publisher organizes things. I think we probably can't take care of the shipping fee problem at the moment...
Q9: The Legend of Sun Knight is so awesome! The manhua version of Sun really captures his elegance from the novels~~ I feel that Sun's look when he uses his facial masks is so funny. I'd like to ask Neko Kreuz what she feels when she draws that!
Neko Kreuz: ...panda!
Q10: I'd like to know if the LSK manhua bundles will be sold in Malaysia? (I really want them TT) I really wish I could buy LSK related side merchandise~!
Yu Wo: Currently we're still working on that. Please sit tight.
Q11: If Storm Knight goes on a mission, what would his specialty be? (I don't think his specialty was mentioned in the novels, and then in the character designs, I don't think I saw him with any weapons.)
Yu Wo: It's his legs. This was mentioned in the volumes near the end. His main attack power is from his legs, and he wears leg armor. Of course, he also knows how to use other weapons, such as daggers to go along with his kicks.
Also, I'd like to know if the "Sun Knight Mailbox" will accept fanart too and not just questions from fans?
Lily (editor): We welcome you to email us! ^u^/
Q12: I heard that it's only on his birthday that Storm can rest and not do any paperwork. So I wonder when his birthday is. Also, what's his original hair color? Thanks.
Yu Wo: I'm not really inclined to set an actual birthday, since I wouldn't be able to remember it, but if I have the chance to include it in another book, I might include more personal details in character profiles for everyone! As for Storm's hair color, even he himself has forgotten what his original hair color was!!!
Q13: Neko Kreuz ♥, I already liked your works a lot since your OS Rabbit Cat times! I really want to ask you the following questions. 1) Which character do you like the most from LSK? 2) Sun and the others' clothes are super pretty! How did you design them?
Neko Kreuz: I like a lot of them... Judgment, Ice, Sun, Cloud, etc... My favorite is Roland~~ He's serious and slow (Lucathia: on the uptake). As for the clothes, I look for characteristics from the novels, and then I come up with the color combinations and styles.
Q14: Hi! The Sun University from p.9 of chapter 11 was too cute! A death knight wearing a sailor outfit is really cute. I read the novel first, but when I read the manhua and discovered these small changes, I felt very happy because of these surprises! I support Neko Kreuz, good luck! My question is, does Neko Kreuz have other styles you want to draw the knights in?
Neko Kreuz: The cosplay was actually added by Editor Lily when she put together the script. XD Hm... I kind of want to draw them in goth styled clothing. ♥
Q15: What do Judgment, Sun, and Yu Wo wear while sleeping?
Yu Wo: Here, have this short story that stalks Lesus for a day: http://www.wretch.cc/blog/kim1984429/13544826
He wears an undyed linen sleeveless undershirt and breeches (for summertime). Sun likes to wear white shorts. In the summertime, it's too hot so he only wears shorts. It depends on the weather for me. If the weather's fine, I wear short sleeves and shorts. If it's hotter, I wear cute short shorts (but why are you asking me?)
(Lucathia: ;klajdf;a Sun actually goes without a shirt at night? XDDDD Maybe it's easier to do his facials this way too, hahahahaha)
Q16: I'm from Malaysia. I really like your work, Legend of Sun Knight, especially the "little devil Sun" and the "next door older brother Judgment". Good luck!
Neko Kreuz: Thanks. ♥ I really like them too.
Q17: Among the Twelve Holy Knights, who's afraid of cockroaches?
Yu Wo: No one! Even though it's not detailed a lot in the novels, these are knights who can wield swords and kill people! As for Judgment Knight, his people even see corpses a lot too (like when they investigate), so they've seen all kinds of rotting things. Cockroaches are nothing to them!
Happy new years everyone. ♥
By the way, the translation of the Half Prince novels has finally been completed, wow!
