This doesn't really have anything to do with the anime, though (that we know of), and probably should have been posted in the novel & manga thread instead. In terms of the anime, there will be a sequel TV series coming soon, but there's a seperate thread for that as well. They also recently released an animated movie that re-told the story of the first novel (first few episodes of the anime). That's a lot of info, but I hope that clarifies things... Shana is, in short, a very popular franchise with lots of different permutations.

hey thanks that really helped alot
