I saw it at the bookstore and thought I was dreaming, honestly, because I have had that dream before. But, no! It was there! Yeah! No honorifics though, I wish that translaters would leave those in more, it's harder to understand the characters personalities without them. I like how the characters are being developed rather fast. Hope it stays good. ^^

Are you talking about Searching for the Full Moon by Tanemura Arina, or Until the Full Moon (which from what I understand is shounen ai/yaoi)? If it's the first, I'm estatic because I've been waiting MONTHS for that to come out.

Oh, yeah, Ash. It's the real deal. In fact, it's upstairs on the shelf of honor AS WE SPEAK!! Go forth and buy, my Tanemura mentor!!

As someone else mentioned, I was disappointed by the decision to attempt to translate the honorifics, rather than leave them. Honorifics are just so cute. . . and Ms. Bunny just sounds retarded. . .

Ugh, they didn't leave the honorifics and stuff? Blah...I'm disappointed already.

Me too. I was like "WHAT!? No Ta-kun? No Mero-chan? No Mitchan? What's this world COMING TOOOOOOOO!????" I'll buy it anyways, 'cause I read the scanlations and I owe them, but. . . yeah, it's sad.

I liked the honorifics!!!!!! I'll stick with my Japanese copies. I better study harder so I can read them better. heh.

O.o;;; Ashley!! T.T How could you think such a thing? *sigh* I guess you have to. I mean Tanemura's manga! I can't believe there wasn't an anticipation thread here. It absolutely made my day to see it! ^^

To be honest, this day reminded me about it. I knew it was coming out in July, but I didn't realize that TODAY was July 5 (retarded, I know =___=;; )

Anyway, I know! I can't wait to get my grubby paws on this. The first time Tanemura-sensei's work has been released in English!!! This is a joyous day. Honorifics or not, I'm absolutely estatic.

And! And! And! The coolest thing is that you can pay for it with a ten dollar bill and get change back!! I'll take every penny I can get. Yeah, I bought this one without hesitation. I went in for Gunslinger Girl actually, but came out with Full Moon. It's all good .

I think I saw this today... or something with Full Moon for the title (with another word beneath it).

It looked interesting... is good?

Yes, Viz decided to leave the title untranslated, so it's "Full Moon o Sagashite", which I'm actually kinda happy about. It'd be weird to refer to it in English, at least for me.

It's FANTASTIC! Easily my favorite manga ever. Yuu Watase's got nothing on the angst, the drama, or the depth of emotions that FMS will put you through. GO BUY IT RIGHT NOW!

Yes, don't make us take drastic measures.

I bought it.

No honorifics = bad thing, but it's still Full Moon in English. So yay!

*sniff* the things left out in translations.... rest in peace *sniff*
hehe Tanemura mentor... I like that.... go Ash!

Well, I bought it, so now you can be happy. ^^

Seriously, I hope I like it!

You won't be dissapointed! One of the BEST mangas around ^^

And it's easy on the pocket book.

YESSS!! *hoards the nine cents left over from her ten dollar bill after buying Shoujo Beat title*

Yes I love how the prices are coming down ^_^

w00t! The second volume is out. I love Tanemura's art!

[SPOILER]Takuto and Mitsuki pulling the old switcheroo on Izumi! Oh, that was funny. And I wonder if we'll being seeing Madoka around anymore? And what's with the new agency president? *hisses new agency president* [/SPOILER]

Second one is out?! *RUNS to find it*

I found a website yesterday for the translator for Full Moon. Her name is Tomo Kimura, and she posts notes and thoughts about the various works she translates.

I've finished reading the second volume already (except for some extra stuff in the back).

I loved the scene where --

cool translator notes ^^, thanks Ash

Yeah, cool notes on that site. Never underestimate how deep Ashley's knowledge can go when it comes to anything Tanemura related. I've always wondered just how Japanese keyboards worked.

How many books are there in total in this series???

7, if memory serves, but I have an inclination to say 9 (I think I'm getting KKJ and FMS confused). I know it's not uberly long.

Seven, according to AnimeNfo.

Thanks

I bought the second one today, but I'm only about half-way through it due to some 300 and something note cards I had to study for a history test *curse you history!!!*, but I'm liking it so far Mitsuki is so cute, hee hee. . .
