Ank Volume 19 ...

So I've been snooping around, waiting, waiting, waiting for Ank Volume 19 to be released. And I just saw, on benippon.com, that they've put up the front cover for it ... though it's not available just yet. The cover gives you a taste of being stared down by the #1 Kanagawa Defender, Yoin Academy's Asuka-san.

I wanna see what happens!!!!!! Raws? anywhere?

Not out yet I think, unfortunately.. Hope they come out soon. I'll let you know (: I want to know what happens to araki and the Korean guys after the WTF conclusion that I ranted to ge4ce swan about in vol 18 XD

Kinokuniya has the volume for sale: http://bookweb.kinokuniya.co.jp/guest/cgi-bin/wshoseaohb.cgi?W-NIPS=9985418107&AREA=02&LANG=J

OOOOO higher res versions of the AnK raws have been released!! (check jcafe's Area no Kishi topic)

I'll buy the Chinese version when it comes out. .-. Until then, *waits for release of raw online* XD

YAY ...and I just ordered the jap. ones...><

if you get it before they're released/before i get the chinese version, could you tell me what happens to araki and the people stuck with him? XD

/envies you people that can read Japanese x_X

I'm taking Japanese but my teacher goes so slowly I'm not learning much. D:

I'm dying to know what happens to Araki & company too. Can we guess here? Or would that be categorized as a spoiler?

btw...I don't know Japanese either, but have been able to get a good idea of what's happening from the art. That, coupled with my WWWJDC "poor-man's" method of translating, gives me a general idea of what's going on.

HAHA
I use WWWJDIC liberally too. Is that bad?

Maybe we should open a spoiler thread. THEN, THEN, THEN...... i can talk about ANK T_T (wonder if anyone would talk with me though xD)

Nope, it's not bad! It means you're precise. ;-) Plus, WWWJDIC is a fabulous site! :-)

I would! There's so much to discuss and guess ... themes, what might happen based on what has happened, when & if Kakeru-kun will make a definitive move on Nana-chan, or if Nana-chan will be the one to make the move on Kakeru-kun, why NO ONE ever uses the honorific "san" with Kakeru-kun, but they use it with others, how deeply did Kakeru-kun's soccer instinct impact the development of Suguru's skills & vice-versa, etc...

Wanna chat?

YESSSSSSSSS

i'll create a spoiler thread immediately

i wonder when we'll reach v18

3 years? 5 years? 10 years? forever?

Ha ha! I know. It's one of the reasons why I've toyed with the idea of learning to read Japanese. I might be able to learn to read Japanese before we're done. That is if I start learning now. ;-)

I know. .-. I think your first estimate might be right. Although I'll try to be faster

Whoot! I got Volume 19... Kouri-chan, have you seen what happens to Araki yet?? I'll tell you in the spoiler thread.

I found volume 19 in Kinokuniya today >_>

I'm still waiting for the Chinese version =(

I need the money to buy it...>_>

XD
How much is it?

Around $7....but I'm broke >_>
