Just a quick update to say: I'm not dead, and I am planning on doing more novel translations. Life has pretty much steamroller'd me on many different levels, and I just haven't found the time or energy to do it lately. But, I promise that as soon as I find that energy I will work on them again, I haven't given up :3

I also need to extend an apology to the various people I keep in contact with outside of LJ :c I really do love you guys, and I'm sorry that I haven't been replying/commenting/msn'ing/skyping like I want to. As I said, steamroller'd. 

Buuut! In case I didn't mention, the amazingly lovely ucco sent me Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Vol 2: Best Friends for my birthday! :D :D I am halfway through the bios for that book, and I plan to get that up before I keep working on the first BBS novel~ I just hate those freaking bios. For now though, have some info on the book itself:

I found a nice scan of the cover here! The colours are actually a lot softer in real life, though. Aquaaaa~ so cuuute X3 Unlike the boring sparkles on the back of the first book, this one has a weird picture of Lea and Isa, which I have taken a bad webcam shot of (and a closeup of Isa cause he is fabulous) for you, since I sadly don't have a scanner here :C (I sacrificed a boring white box with the barcode and stuff, if you're wondering about the dimensions, lol)

Apart from that, same as the first volume, there are also no extra illustrations by Amano Shiro in this book, just seven full colour bio pages with renders of most of the characters in the game. I already knew it wouldn't cause he said so and apologised about it on his blog in like March, but I was still kind of sad  :c Oh well, poor guy seems to have a lot on his plate. Haha, he also answered a reader question about whether he and Kanemaki are friends; he says just like she wrote in the Afterword, they keep making and having to scrap plans to meet 8D;

Hope you guys are all doing well ♥
