sry, to interrupt, but will this anime (or manga) ever be available in the states? The fansubs seemed to have stalled or completely stopped and heck if I'm going to support bootlegging. It's been some four months since I've seen any and I'm itching for a fix.

Princess_of_Hell · 2004-07-16, 08:10

It has been licensed for release in the US and VOL. 1 will be available sometime during the end of this month or the beginning of next month.

NoSanninWa · 2004-07-16, 23:02

The manga has indeed been licensed and while this is the manga thread I'd like to pass on some information for Animal4890 and other Tenshi na Konamaiki fans. Although the anime fansub has been stalled since March I've heard that AE is working hard to get out some new episodes sometimes soon. Yay! Wth luck you'll see them sometime this month.

pyu · 2004-07-19, 02:07

By the way, the manga has ended some time ago at 20 volumes in total.

Spoiler for ending:

Animal4890 · 2004-07-20, 00:02

thx for the info NoSanninWa. It's nice to know AE didn't totally throw away the project after they'd claimed it over other groups who tried to pick up their slack......even though they seem to be slacking...or at least lacking in translators right now.

I wonder if the anime will ever be licensed. This anime faired poorly at one of my past anime clubs. Although, most of that group was fairly conservative and perhaps this gender bender was a bit too much. I couldn't really understand 'em seeing as how I adore this anime.

**edit**
odd.... I received a reputation dock for post #41 here. Anyone care to claim that docking and explain it?

Oh hello eveyone by the way

Thank you very much.

Shohoku79...

1. Miki's hair was originally longer. She cut it short when she learned about her engagement. It was then when Megumi decided she wanted to protect and help Miki to live her life as she wanted. If you read more carefully, it was this sequence of events (up to and including the part where she first met Genzo) that ultimately she decided to wish that she was a boy.

2. Not too sure about this one, the gaiden wasn't included in volume 20 that I have.

Ok, that clears things up a bit. So the mentioning of the haircut was actually just there to connect the series of events as opposed to the beginning of the series, where it seems to the readers that Megu just decided to make the wish without much thinking right after fighting off the bullies, right? Am I making sense at all?

The manga ended some time in 2003, the 20 volumes of tankoban finished then too, if I am not mistaken. The Gaiden was actually published "only" in the January 2004 issue of Shonen Sunday, so it was a continuation of the series. My first discovery of its existence was from this page:

http://www.pacifier.com/~caspian/Main%20page/Cheeky_Extra.htm ]TnK Gaiden[/URL]

Upon some more searches, the 38 pages worth of material is actually divided into Chapter 200 and 201. The first one was from Fujiki's perspective and the second one from Koakuma(?). If any one have any information or have read these 2 chapters, please enlighten as I am quite eager to find out what the future hold for Megu and her friends.

If it's in 2004 SS, then I have it. I'll look through my bookshelf when I get back home.

Awesome! Thank you, and I hope you could find it.... The cover is shown in that previous post.

At any rate, why is your site down? Server problems? I think it's been down for a couple of days....

Troika · 2004-12-17, 07:53

I'm still pretty confused with the anime Myself.

Spoiler:

What did annoy me though

Spoiler:

Still a great series to kill time to though.

Haru27 · 2006-07-12, 21:48

wooo..... I'm confused. Is Megumi a guy or girl with a altered memory because of the wish. I just got into the manga but i love some spoilers. O, I want to read the manga but i was wondering if a website allows you to read manga with out buying the books like the spectrum does. How much would it cost to buy the the manga seies total? I also love gender bender stories. Is Cheeky angel and ranma the only ones? Btw, If you somehow changed into a girl and adopt the natural female instinicts that would not make you Homesexual because your attract to the oppisite gender. Now if you still have your original instinicts after transformation, that would make you homosexual.

NoSanninWa · 2006-07-13, 01:44

If you're confused, please remember what powers the demon demonstrated. In all the wishes it granted, all it did was mess with people's minds. It is safe to say that it doesn't have the power to change Megumi's gender. She was a girl from the beginning and the demon only changed her and Miki's memory.

what u are saying is correct. mike and megumi were always girls.

Haru27 · 2006-07-14, 12:39

yea i just watch some episode on you tube i realised what your saying is true. I just wish people released episodes much faster on youtube and/or released it in the states. "I don't have the power to change nature" was one of the lines that i kinda realised that there were girls from day one that i read some spoilers just to help clear the plot line tho. I still enjoy the her life from there out. Once i'm finished watch the first 25 episodes plus read some manga i'm going to write or think about a fanfiction (cause its seems thats not that popular.)

Not so much that it isn't popular but more the case that the manga is something like 7 years old.

Haru27 · 2006-07-14, 13:02

that may be true, but ranma is like what 20 years old? That that to me is great o and thanx for helping get my last 5 episodes.

dieseltrain · 2009-07-09, 11:30

i heard a special extra story was released later in shonen jump taking place a few months after the events at the end of the manga, and i can't seem to find it? anyone seen it? care to share it?

Spoiler for ending: There is a slight twist on the whole "Megumi-is-a-boy-turned-girl" premise at the end, which isn't that surprising if you followed the various hints on the real nature of the djinn's powers.

Shohoku79 S79 Join Date: Dec 2004 Age: 44	Tenshi na Konamaiki manga questions Following message contains spoilers regard TnK. Spoiler: Recently finished both the manga and the anime version of TnK and really did notice quite a bit of difference (especially how the anime gipped the Gakusan Games) and how the anime just totally left out Genzo "really" did save Megu from the broken glass when they were little. Some questions about the manga... 1. In Chapter 199, up to the point where Genzo saved Megu from the broken glass I got, but the part that was explaining what really did happen when Megu made the wish. That's where I got confused. Upon searching the forum for some answers, I found that the basic premise was that Koakuma only altered Megu and Miki's memories to make the two of them "think" that Megu was a boy. However, the part had Megu mentioned something about "Miki's hair was already...." What was this part (about Miki's hair) about? 2. Also, while I was trying to find answers to my first question, I stumbled across the info that said the January 2004 Shonen Sunday featured a 38 page Gaiden (Side Story) of TnK (or Chapter 200). I think it has to do with what happened to the gang about half a year after the main storyline in Ch. 199. Has any one read this? If so, could someone kindly give a summary of what transpired in there? Thank you very much. Last edited by Shohoku79; 2004-12-13 at 14:05. Reason: Adding spoiler tag

Troika Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2004	I'm still pretty confused with the anime Myself. Spoiler: Kobayashi(sp?, the Samurai guy) comes to the realisation that Megumi was a girl all along late in the Japan beauty race series but the last episode still makes it look like to me at least that she was originally a boy and Megumi still seems to consider herself a man even in the end, maybe I mistook things because the subs were pretty bad though What did annoy me though Spoiler: was how Miki went from being weak to kicking every ones ass's in the Japan beauty race and then back to being weak when she was abducted, it just seemed stupid to me along with all the hints that Megumi and Miki had feelings for each other (Megumi even asked what kind of couple they would make in one episode) but went no where with it. Still a great series to kill time to though.
