That was so redundant...
And no, when I watch the anime, I won't know, cause I'm not following the novels and that's exactly the reason why I asked/want to know opinions from people with actual kowledge. Serious and useful answers are welcome AND very appreciated at any time! |

At any rate, the last published novel is a cliff hanger ending so after the christmas arc we'll be spending the last 5 episodes on what builds up to that and the volume 10 revelation. I suspect there will be a very high level of event compression but we'll see if the anime can construct a credible subset of those events on its own.

Aye, they're translating fairly literally - as opposed to writing it as if a native english writer had created it. I wouldn't mind taking a stab at such a rendition if I weren't fairly occupied otherwise. If it were done in the latter mode, I wouldn't mind that but I'd want an annotated version (rather like the way the Through the Looking Glass books with Alice are often handled).

I'm hedging my bets since it seems Yen Press picked up both the Spice&Wolf novels and manga ... also not exactly a mainstream popular item (not that I'm objecting).

Justin Kim, no manga translations are not finished, no manga is not finished too. How can it be finished when the novels are not finished either? And manga is taking a slow pace.
Much slower than anime thus I like it much more. Anime does ok, but they skip through many things that may look minor but in a general picture thay may show much more things about characters thus creating greater depth. Vexx, you can talk about being picked up only when it is released. Look at ZnT example... |

The artist, Zekkyou, is really slow. Volume 1 was released around January 2008, while volume 2 was released just recently. These volumes correspond to volume 1 of the novels, btw.
The amount of pages she does for a monthly chapter is about the same you'd expect from a chapter in a weekly manga. Well at least, that's the impression I've been getting lately. She also takes breaks every now and then (especially when she's participating in a convention). It's a extremely good adaptation, but I think it'll be cancelled before the artist even gets close to finishing it (or the magazine it's being serialized in will go under).

Spice&Wolf (vol 9 novel)(volume 2 manga) is not done --- Yen Press has already licensed it and is starting this fall. Yotsubato (manga) --- Yen Press acquired the license from now defunct ADV and will continue -- its not done. There's more I could list.... But it is more likely that Toradora! won't get licensed (anime, manga, or novels) til summer or fall if someone is going to pick it up at all.
