The trials of fandom

[flemmings]

Ahh Kinokuniya. I wish I knew how to quit you. (Well, I do. Pig in a poke subscription through Iwase, or go back to Tokyo. No more subscriptions for me-- I was one who had their GFantasy subscription *finally* get through the month Minekura took off-- and no more Tokyo either. Shall suck it up.)

Kinokuniya doesn't take pre-orders on magazines. So you wait till the shipment comes in, which is usually a week, and order your copy. So I order my copy today. And am told the shipment came in last week and was sold out same afternoon. Are re-ordering. Will send then. Will get it in two weeks. Am still faster than saiyuki_manga.

Volume 4 comes out July 25, info thanks to the Russian scanlation linked by grendelity.

Volume 4 comes out July 25

Thanks for the info -- must grab at some point. Since I've all but given up on Reload, I keep forgetting Gaiden is still out there to be savoured (well, for a wee bit longer, at least).

Now if she'd just remember she has this other title that needs attention....

She's going to start a new series in WARD about Koumyou's backstory, IIRC.

She has several, and only two unreliable hands. Which series were you thinking of?

Wild Adapter, which, quite truthfully, I would prefer to see more regularly than anything Saiyuuki-related, at this point.

when you say vol. 4 you mean Gaiden vol4???

Thank you for that info! ^__^

Yup, Gaiden 4. Last one (snerf)

Aie. Much sympathy.

Incidentally, do you have a copy of John M Ford's The Dragon Waiting? I picked up a spare one secondhand today.

[flemmings.livejournal.com]

No I don't, but I'd been hoping to find one somewhere...

[incandescens]

I'll post it your way, then.

Thank you very much. I look forward to it.
