do they have it? whats the name in chinese? maybe i'll go take a look...

As far as I know, there is no Chinese version yet.

However, the Chinese version of Hibiki no mahou vol 1 (小小魔法使響) has just been released. Hibiki is drawn by Rei Izumi (who had done the "Kanon & Air スカイ", which IMO is one of the best Key official comics) and the story is written by Jun Maeda (chief scenairo writer for Air). It starts off slowly, but the pace really picks up after the third/fourth chapter. Overall, I find the book very interesting.

The AIR manga has been done by the same artist (Katsura Yukimaru) who made the Kashimashi ~Girl Meets Girl~'s artwork, that's why the different and interesting look.

Here's two samples from the manga:

This is the first I have ever heard about this... must find ways to obtain it. *nods*

Also want to find the for-all-ages version of the game, *nods* though for some reason I am led to believe that the game and the show are not at all alike...? Hmm...

they are similar but there are choices you make in teh game so parts differ

Unless you can understand Japanese or read it then it isn't fun. I can undrstand a small portion XD but I'm learning each day

bleeeh I don't like that artwork at all! Misuzu looks all pudgy and Yukito isn't a bishie anymore! X(

From the looks of it this manga still deviates from the story of the game a little (and is more akin to the movie). It would be interesting nonetheless to look at how Yukimaru chose to interpret the story though.

Considering how Kashimashi is playing out I find something as sombre and as abstract as AIR to be totally different. At any rate, it sounds to be very, very interesting...

Ack.

They made Yukito kinda....ugly, and Misuzu looks really different (although Kano probably looks the worst). ;-;

I'll probably end up buying this, though. 'Cause, I mean, it's AIR. <3

As far as i know AIR manga was serialized in the Comptiq MediaMix magazine and the series ended in the march issue.

Manga Misuzu looks more or less more similar in the movie, than the anime. I really liked how they drew Yukito in the anime though, super-hot guy.

AIR manga chapter 1 has been scanslated:

Read Chapter 1. Art is different, but is pretty in its own way. Yukito's a bit more 'evil' in this adaptation - it basically covers up until where Misuzu invites him home. Now, although I did enjoy it... pity about the editing, it was. The English wasn't fabulous. But hey, at least it's readable and enjoyable. It is AIR. :)

wow. In the captures Yukito seems very nicel!!!
But I have one question. Does someone knows if the manga has already finished in Japan and if it's so how many editions there were? In amazon.com.jp I just could find 3 volums

Looks like Kashimashi ~girl meets girl~ artwork. Yukito was in it too.

zoozoc

2007-03-31, 12:59

so is it any different from the anime/movie? Or is it simply a retelling of the same story in manga form?

andiyar

2007-04-01, 04:28

@ zoozoc

So far, your second guess.

Seems like there is a manga with Kanon and Air characters together

The visual novel came first, and the manga and anime are based on that.

Read (all?) the 15 chapters, ending was less sad... since it did end happy, just without Yukito...

Interesting twist from the anime, I enjoyed it, and really liked the art better than the super deformed eyes and faces of the anime.

Though obviously the anime is still better (IMO, a rare but wonderous thing).

OMG I WANT THAT. NOW.:twitch: I wonder if it's a DJ...er no....it's published by Kadokawa so it must be a fanbook or something well whatever it is, I WANT IT. XD

Not me, man, they look too fat in the manga.:heh: I tried to read it and couldn't get used to the art style. D:

i personally like the manga art rather than the anime. :)
and the manga has a happier ending.

in the manga ending, misuzu didn't die, but unfortunately, yukito vanished.
but at least his effort didn't end in vain. :)
