Tokyopop has released the fourth novel of the series. Its success or failure will determine whether tokyopop will continue releasing the series in the U.S. So PLEASE GO BUY IT, hell buy two copies we need large sales on this one.

I'm caught up in reading up to volume 10 and would love it if America's bookstores could catch up and publish what hasn't been shown in the last three seasons of the anime yet. I'll start buying the novels the next time I go to a bookstore and see them.

Damn it, Tokyopop's closing in a month! I'll still buy the volumes I can for myself but we won't be seeing any more official translations unless another manga company (Del Rey maybe?) picks it up for us.

rofl I want to buy the novels but I just can't find where or if there is anyone willing to sell volumes 1-3 without that horrible prices of 100 usd and up. I can accept used novels (...) ;_; baw.

http://www.justmanga.com says "backordered" but I wonder if there are any possibilities of getting novels now that Tokyopop is closing.

From my personal experience searching for volume 3 of the novel, you’re going to have a rough time finding some of these. I got lucky even finding a used library copy of 3, took 6+ months. Your best chance is to check the major sites (Amazon US & CA, Borders, DeepDiscount), see if any of the backorders yield results. Google Shopping can also yield some good results, bookmark them and check about once a week. Individual websites many times have this books listed, but not in stock, just as a warning, and there are several with poor ratings I ran into. Might also look into book exchange websites, they might help. Good luck!

Thank you very much for your suggestions. I'm having a hard time because I thought I could buy them on DeepDiscount but since I'm not an US user, I couldn't pay via paypal and this site rejected my MC card twice, so now I'm searching all over again orz.

Why the hell did they do the third novel first? I mean, yes, it is chronological, but everyone interested in it knows what happens already. It came out over a decade ago, and got adapted into a TV show 7 years ago. Now, if they came out with the fifth through twelfth books I would buy them.
