What's in the February special? Having looked at the bboy gold advert for the next editi...

Thank you for the info.

Thanks for the info! Mini manga... Hmm I wonder if it's not really an extra? :/ and what about dressing up dolls lol.

Mini manga? I'm really curious now. :)

An all chibi story? (Just kidding).

I have a booklet of an extra at home (44.2). It's about 10 pages (whatever it takes to fit that one extra story) and the cover is paper thin, it's not what I'd call a "mini manga". It's just a format to hold one extra story, and there are actually a couple of them I never got hold of from the Finder series since they're only in the Japanese magazines (when I didn't buy them).

They're actually the reason why some extras never released in English, as DMP doesn't seem interested in adapting those formats. The French limited editions actually include them (well only one out of two if the Japanese version had two limited editions, sadly).

Actually it's basically some pages and some paper thin smooth cover bound together with some staplers. It actually looks better than what you'd imagine with that description, but yeah, booklets xD.

I would like to see another threesome instead. This time with Mikhail, Sakazaki and Sudou (Sudou, obviously, in the middle) :)

LOL...I might like that, but I think some people may be upset if there were no Asami and Aki moments.

What extras have been released in the French editions that aren't in the English editions? Just curious (and I can't remember if I've asked this before). Three of the missing extras, Hard-Working Cameraman Akihito Takaba Romantic Life as an Indentured Servant (ch. 39),

(Prematurely hit enter :(
Ch. 39, ch. 39, and ch. 50 are not available in English as a hard copy, but they are available in digital form (the translation is horrendous). One that is totally missing in English is the extra with Akihito tailing Asami, AS one of Fei Long's men tailS Akihito, followed by the episode where Asami finds the bread and juice hanging on his door.

Btw, I am talking about volumes 1-7 (7 had three extras in it). I have no idea which extras will be in vol. 8.

Also, I know Finder no Rakuin and the Finder Character Book were released in German. Were you so fortunate to get any of these in French?

Maybe Aki dreaming about them? I have a strong imagination sometimes. :)

Sure--Aki could dream the threesome and te wake up and demand sex with Asami to get the image out of his head. :) Why not?

Erm no thanks. Keep those weird pairings to your own fanfictions. No one wants to see that save you and maybe 2 or 3 others. What a weird idea.

Reading yaoi and then worrying about "weird" ideas seems like it might lead to cognitive dissonance.

Can't find 54 on Amazon though (not sure why I said 44.2 earlier, the one I have is 54 xD), maybe I'm searching at the wrong place. The other one that was included in the Japanese limited version of Finder 7 was 53, that one too I don't see it. Though maybe it's a matter of time.

Anyway, I never held much value to digital copies, you're literally paying them to rent them on whatever reader they're bound to unless they give you the pdf. For that I have respect for Sublime xD. But paper is MUCH better, at least here it's always high quality in that aspect.

As for Finder no Rakuin, no, light novels are only beginning to break in France with SAO xD. Character books too haven't seen them around, though those I really don't mind aha.

Are you implying there is no such thing as weird yaoi/yaoi ideas or plot points because all yaoi is weird?

I'm just sayig....

English VF 7 had ch. 50, 51, and 52 (I typo'd before-- Amazon's digital chapters are ch. 38, 39, and oddly enough, 50.) If ch. 53 is in the Japanese limited edition of Vol. 7, I'm guessing we won't see an English print version of it :(

Maybe ch. 54 will be included in Vol. 8? Hopefully? (44.2 is the chapter number on both the file and link title... if you mouse over the link, you'll see "44.2"). So your booklet is in French? Lucky you. We don't even get color plates anymore.

I don't like digital versions of manga at all, and it worries me that DMP has hinted that they want to release all their English translations this way.

It baffles me DMP (Juné...?) isn't more serious about releasing VF in English. Here they just did another 1-7 series printing run and already they are either sold out, or on the verge of being sold out.

Yea so? That is a weird yaoi. There's plenty of normal ones too you know. Saying that worrying about weird ideas when reading yaoi is cognitive dissonance makes no sense at all. There's weird ideas in yaoi just like there are weird shoujo, shounen, yuri etc.
