Edit: The covers of the seinen novel and seinen manga were added to the first post.

There needs to be a warning that looking at these covers will make one into a lolicon......:heh:

I'm sorry for sounding like such a noob, but I'm at wits end here. Is there a scanlation group who's scanlating the novels? If there is, where can I obtain the goods? I've tried desparately to try to find it, and failed miserably.

I haven't heard of any groups/people working on the novels. Novel fan-translations are rare for the same reasons that visual novel fan-translations are relatively rare: LOTS OF TEXT. There's about 100,000 characters in each Shana novel.

They're novels, not manga. In other words, the books are pages full of text, not pages full of pictures that make us say 'ohmygodshanaishot.'

i think the novel will go in depth of the story...
no english edition?
anywhere i can find it other than online only?

Well, there are a *few* service pictures of Shana scattered in the novels, if you really absolutely need that kind of thing. ;o

I don't really give a damn about the pictures. I care more of the story line. I was hoping that someone out there would translate it, like boku-tachi is doing for Full Metal Panic. Ah well. Maybe some die hard fans that knows both english and japanese will pick it up soon.

Novels are definitely great. I'll definitely pick storyline and plot over action and pictures anyday. Sure, pictures are pleasing to the eyes, but what we need is rich content. :D

Anyone who has read or can read the novels, how about a summary of what's going on? Details about the differences and any other tidbits would be appreciated.

Yay chapter 14 of the manga :D so fast :)

does anyone if theres going to be like an english version of these...???????
