I don't care about the rest of the world, but at least amazon.com ships internationally.

I have just received my copy of volume 4 for 10.81€

Amazon.fr (no shipping fee for books)

You can also check out Amazon Marketplace. Sometimes you can save some money even on new books. Just go to the page of the book you want and click on the New/Used books link. If you're willing to purchase a used book you can save a lot of money, in some cases paying just a penny plus shipping/handling fees.

what's the difference between the novels and mangas?

Novels are mostly words, manga are mostly pictures.

Seriously, what do you mean? Storywise, or what? The manga and anime both follow the first 3 novels very closely. Fumoffu follows the short stories its episodes are based on very closely as well. TSR has most of the 4th and 5th novels but moves some of the events around timewise - the Mithril traitor is captured in Italy at the beginning of the novels rather than halfway through the series, as he was involved in Gauron's TDD hijack rather than the Hong Kong incident. HK doesn't happen in the novels; it's mostly there to introduce the traitor since he wasn't mentioned in the first season. Gates is much less prominent in the novels than he is in the manga. Also, the twins are male instead of female.

thanks for the explanation, sigh, how I wish the anime version of Full metal panic will continue but I doubt it ;-(

bulvius · 2011-02-27, 12:47

Hey, anybody, who read the novels and full metal panic Sigma can tell, how close they follow each other ? which volumes/chapters of manga cover which novel and so on. thanks

Kaoru84 · 2011-02-27, 13:58

manga still has a long way to go. You can read it here: http://www.mangafox.com/manga/full_metal_panic_sigma/

I think the manga shows Souske's feelings toward Kaname compare to the novels and anime.

bulvius · 2011-02-27, 14:10

thanks, i've already read all the translated chapters of the manga

frickin addictive !!!! the first manga that I actually got hooked, since i'm more into anime.
could you be more specific about which volumes of FMP: Sigma manga covers which novels ? (for example vol. 1 of manga covers 6th novel or something like that) thanks

btw, anyone knows if any of the novels have been translated to english ? i'm interested in the ones that start after the events of Full metal panic: The Second Raid, so if i'm not mistaken, starting from novel 6. thanks for the help !!!
Full Metal Panic is probably my favorite franchise, great characters, great story. just amazing. i'm glad i joined this forum

Kaoru84 · 2011-02-27, 17:48

hmmmm.... i'm really not an expert of this, I'm sure someone can help out. However, I know that the novel dancing merry christmas is not part of the manga

Illsteir · 2011-02-27, 18:14

Volume 15 of FMP sigma will cover the DVMC arc as hinted in the preview images at the end of Volume 14 actually.

bulvius · 2011-02-27, 18:43

what about chronological order of the novels ? they all go one after another, just like they were published ? if yes and if you say, that vol 15 will be DVMC and let's say manga picked up from novel 4 or whatever, then we have what ? 10 years ahead to complete manga ??

i hope they have Japanese lessons in my town

Kaoru84 · 2011-02-27, 20:11

where can we read that? I just read until volume 9

Kaoru84 · 2011-02-28, 01:17

gosh, I just so the last picture of the novel, I'm dissapoined, Gatouh was able to draw a passionate picture between leonard and kaname, and what do we get for Souske and Kaname's kiss? a back view. boohoo!

bulvius · 2011-03-01, 16:49

Kaoru84 i thought the exactly same thing, when i saw that pic, but oh well, i guess it's better than some pathetic ending, where he tries to save her over 12 novels and ends up dying in the end, or she dies in the process, or worse: she ends up with leonard. i personally loved the ending of the story

favorite series ever

Kaoru842 · 2011-03-01, 22:09

yes, a love the fact that they ended up together, sigh at least he could have given us a nicer picture between their kiss

Nice, mate, nice.

Where'd you pick up Into the Blue?

I had a quick look around and only found a couple of hits on Amazon with private sellers wanting ~ $300 for it...

logan1xx · 2011-03-04, 12:57

5 I know of: Cinderella and Irrelevant Emotion from Boku-Tachi, and all of Side Arms 2 by Mister V. TokyoPop hasn't done any of the short story collections yet.
