September 14 2011. Kaori Yuki wasn't under the spotlight this year at Japan Expo, Tonkam preferred to advertise its upcoming first French comic <a href="http://www.manga-news.com/index.php/actus/2011/03/07/Des-Planches-de-Memento-Mori" target="_blank">"Memento Mori"</a> by <a href="http://rannsama.deviantart.com" target="_blank">Rann</a>. Nonetheless, Tonkam associated with Akata to launch once again their <a href="http://www.akata.fr/concours/ete-shojo-2011" target="_blank">"l'été sera shôjo"</a> campaign (the summer will be shoujo). From June 29, if you buy 3 shoujos from these publishers, you'll get a postcard book, which includes one image of Suou from Vampire Host. ^^ However, when I checked my local bookshop earlier today, they had not received the goodies yet...

From afar it looks almost like Matsuri Hino (Vampire Knight), however a closer look confirms Kaori Yuki's style with this sly look on Wraith's face. While chapter 9 has been released today, chapter 10 will appear in Aria 9 next month, on July 28. As the magazine will celebrate its first year, I suppose we can expect some extra inside.<br> <b>France</b>: <a href="http://www.japan-expo.com" target="_blank">Japan Expo</a> will start in 2 days! It's time for my yearly pilgrimage. If I see stuff related to Kaori Yuki, be assured I'll talk about it on the site! Maybe we'll have the chance to grab "Vampire Host" deluxe in advance?

Now we're just patiently waiting for Guignol (June 30) and Neji (some day...). Fri, 02 Apr 2010 00:05:00 GMT http://www.angelicvoice.fr/?id=y-arch#20100402 http://www.angelicvoice.fr/?id=y-arch#20100402 <b>Japan</b>: this long awaited and dreaded news had to come out - in the next Betsuhana (#6, April 26), we'll read the end of "Orchestre Royal de Guignols". 51 pages have been announced to conclude the series, which will count 18 chapters. As consolation, we can still get ahold of the <a href="http://www.s-book.net/plsql/slib_detail?isbn=9784592186649" target="_blank">volume 4</a> of this same series, to be released on May 19.

No colour page in this chapter either, however we will at least have to wait only one little month before getting the next chapter, in Betsuhana #6 out on April 26. :] Oh and stay tuned, as info about NKG volume 4 should arrive soon! Thu, 11 Mar 2010 02:49:00 GMT http://www.angelicvoice.fr/?id=y-arch#20100311 http://www.angelicvoice.fr/?id=y-arch#20100311 <b>Japan</b>: the covers of the Cain bunkos #5 and #6 have been released, the volumes will be out in 5 days and then this edition will be complete. Regarding Guignol, in this month's Betsuhana we learn that the story is coming to an end soon. Take your tissues out, we (I) will miss Ruchiru... :/ <div align="center"> <br> <img src="http://www.angelicvoice.fr/covers/jp/earlcain-jp-bunko05m.gif" height="100"> <img src="http://www.angelicvoice.fr/covers/jp/earlcain-jp-bunko06m.gif" height="100"> </div> Wed, 24 Feb 2010 15:26:00 GMT http://www.angelicvoice.fr/?id=y-arch#20100224 http://www.angelicvoice.fr/?id=y-arch#20100224 <b>France</b>: the long awaited news has been announced at noon: <a href="http://www.angelicvoice.fr/?id=guignol">Ningyou Kyuutei Gakudan</a> will be released in France by Tonkam on June 30 2010!

With them, a fair part of Yuki sensei's work will be available under this format. Are missing 0 no Soukoushi, Blood Hound, Camelot Garden, Neji, her short series Fairy Cube and Ludwig Kakumei (and of course Guignol, but it's too new to be released as bunko before a while). In a small week we'll finally get a new chapter of Guignol to devour. \o/ This 2 months wait since December has been like an eternity... The issue of January (without NKG) was even more frustrating since our favourite author didn't make any special illustration for the furoku (big postcards this time) while all the other important authors of the magazine did. >< Even though, well, December is a particularly busy month for a mother of 2 children when she also has to take care of her own birthday... (just quoting what she said last year). And, and... how about an artbook already?! *moody Legu*<br> <b>France</b>: the last volume of the AS deluxe edition is still scheduled on April 14. Nothing else interesting. :/<br> Btw, if there are italian and german speaking people around, note that the <a href="http://www.paninicomics.it/web/guest/productDetail?viewItem=621196" target="_blank">volume 1</a> of Guignol is soon out in Italy: on March 18. And the <a href="http://www.carlsen.de/web/manga/buch?tn=175226" target="_blank">volume 2</a> will be released on June 25 in Germany.

We'll have to be very patient... The cover, which was black in the beginning <a href="covers/guignol1-de_old.jpg" target="_blank">(see)</a>, has become blue in the final version.

The title is "Quatuor Mosaïques", French again for "Mosaic Quartet" (details to confirm - I don't have my copy yet), there's no colour page - that was to be expected since there's been one last month. Chapter 15 will be out in the end of December. ^^ Hakusensha has modified the official site of Betsuhana, it's globally clearer but quite sober, so less cute and fancy... If you're curious: www.betsuhana.com.<br> Moreover, the volume 4 of Count Cain bunko edition is already scheduled for January 2010 (ISBN 978 4 592 88828 4). All the old oneshots (< 1992) of Yuki sensei are now released in bunko format. They are spread among the following 3: "Kaine" (5 OS), "Gravel Kingdom" (2 OS) and "Boy's Next Door" (5 OS). <br> <b>France</b>: nothing new... New edition of Neji for the "beginning of 2010", no announcement regarding Guignol. :/ Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:37:00 GMT http://www.angelicvoice.fr/?id=y-arch#20091113 http://www.angelicvoice.fr/?id=y-arch#20091113 <b>Japan</b>: only 4 days left before the release of the next bunkos of Kaori Yuki.

It'll gather the same stories as the kanzenban edition vol.2, aka : "The seal of the Red Ram", "Elizabeth in the mirror", "The death of Cleo Dreyfus", and "The Twisted Fairy Tale". With these 2 volumes we're done with the 5 first volumes of Earl Cain. I suppose the next book will be released in mid-November and will start the "God Child" part. Second thing, Kaine is also being released as a bunko, it will be released the same day and will have 296 pages. Regarding NKG, we'll have to wait until Oct. 26 to read chapter 13, in the Betsuhana #12. <br> <b>France</b>: Neji has been postponed to the end of the first quarter 2010, most likely after all the AS Deluxe are out in France.
