Twelve Kingdoms

The series didn't end, the TV series was cancelled due to poor ratings. The novel goes way past where the TV series ended.

Damn that sucks, I assume with a series like this all the novels are untranslated as well.

There are six translated volumes available. For free, too. You just have to do a google search.

There are also the printed translations by tokyopop, but the content is out of order from the original publication.

Coulda been something beyond amazing.

Too bad about being canceled, if only they could have finished the black Kirin arc I would have been happy.

The books didn't even finish the story either if i'm remembering correctly.

There's going to be a new novel this year that the author announced IIRC. Up to about a thousand pages long.

I loved this show.

Every time I try to read a book I always fall asleep or just drop it. I've been reading the first Vampire Hunter D for a year now.

That's a shame, anon. Reading through a Hesse novel can be more entertaining than good anime.

Yeah, the setting was great and it was a nice story. Youko is, in my opinion, one of the best main characters I've ever seen and certainly the best female one. The rest of the character were great as well. It would be been good if the story could continue to focus on her and her kingdom and if it had been written about more by the author, instead it seems like nothing was ever finished.
