First volume i have is by Del Ray, and i thought i'd pick up the second volume by the UK group to see what its like. & yes i'm waiting for Del Ray's version of volume 02 to arrive.

Then I guess I can ask this question: Does the UK release leave Simca's cute little behind alone on the cover, or is it also redrawn with pants identicle to the NA release? (My intuition tells me European publishers aren't as prudish as North American ones)

Got a image of Del Rays front cover for me please? I would go look at one over at Amazon.. though that could be any version.

Its probably because the people behind the UK version just didn't wanna bother changing it. The volume wasen't even shrink wrapped. ^^;;

Also: Linkt to image of front cover~

None of the art was, though they toned down the meaning of one of the conversations (the one implying that one of the girls had been raped, if I recall correctly).

AG T149 Raw is up at RSF and sai.voiea - I'm still puzzled at where this is going. Kilic makes his speech but no sign whatsoever about the guy that snatched the regalia - makes me wonder whether he's trying to go solo and drop SF. And it looks like the Trophaeum hides more than first thought - though I'm unsure about that part. And what's up with all the cross-covered pupils? Don't tell me they've been hypnotized...

[Majek]

SO Kilik is a puppetmaster in a literal way then? that's not cool at all. But i'll wait for some more info before i judge it to harshly

[megakim]

He seems like a puppetmaster because all of SF had the same cross in their eyes as Kilik

Oh, so just because everyone have the same eyes as Kilik, he becomes a puppetmaster? That doesn't make any sense to me.

Anyway, the mark on their eyes seems to be some kind of device that allows them to control gravity, which is the reason they are no flying around like Ikki and his merry friends.

The weird guy who lost his hand has the same mark in his eyes, which set a connection between him and SF. Quite interesting!

[tritoch]

That guy who lost his hand was from TTT right? Might be one of SF's many tuners.

The eyes.. well.. no comment yet on this one.

[Nightengale]

LMAO STIGMA!? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

I called Trophaeum Infinity Fortress/Babylon Tower not long back... apparently it's not that far off.

[tritoch]

Im surprised AG150 isn't up yet considering it was the first manga in the magazine.. It had a color page featuring the drawings of the anime version.

Oh yeah, I went to Japan that's why I knew =) haha and hot damn I wanna live there..

"drool"

An AT-less Ikki vs Kilik.. Lotsa uhm.. flying objects around and Ikki gives Kilik the FINGER!

[tritoch]

Bump for great justice.

Guys where are youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu?!


I wonder how Ikki will get out of this. He made Kilik lose his temper.

Well, we're still waiting for the chap to show up - RSF, eMule and IRC haven't offered any results so far - or anything to rejoice for...so we're waiting, waiting and waiting...

Maybe the guy scanning it every week decided to stop or is currently unavailable due to end-of-the-year celebrations, who knows...it's a pity, though.

I guess that you can't scan the mag from where you currently are, right? (if you're spending your holidays there then I don't see why you'd be bringing your scanner in your luggage ) Well, if anyone else has the mag and can scan it and upload it, we could perhaps post it on MangaHelpers or StopTazmo (since I believe AG is licensed, we can't post T150 here) to spread it around. ^_^

Sleeping Forest really gets their stuff done. Think last time i checked mangaupdates.com it said they averaged a release every 3.8 days. Nice
