So, the Hana to Yume with Matsushita's comeback YnM Tatsumi side story was released last Thursday. Of course, I was in Korea, so I couldn't trot on down to the bookstore on the release date like the good little tool fan I am.

I did trot down to the bookstore this evening, after I got back home. I purchased Hana to Yume. Except it doesn't seem to be the HtY with the YnM sidestory in it. Judging by Hakusensha's site, there are several HtY available for purchase. Which one is YnM in? Here I am all ready to spend my money, but they have to go and complicate matters. What gives?

I really hope the relavant issue didn't sell out while I was out of the country.

これで以上です。

majinkarp says it's apparently in something called Za Hana To Yume (http://www.hakusensha.co.jp/cgi-bin/mag/magazine.cgi?mode=magazine&magmode=mag13&day=next). katsue_fox found a one page preview here (http://www.hakusensha.co.jp/special_preview/sp_thehy0410.html).

Ooh, thank you!! I'd seen the preview in the regular(?) HtY. I'll have to look out for the special issue. Methinks (sob, whimper) that it may already be sold out in my town. Why, oh why can't they at least give me a cover shot so I know what to look for?

:( If I see any scans for it I'll let you know. What does the "za" mean anyways? "The" Hana To Yume? (What does that make the regular Hana then? ^_^;;) Btw, how was Korea?

[lebateleur.livejournal.com]

Yeah, 'za' is usually the romanization of 'the,' provided that it's used in a context where no skillful speaker of English would place a definite article;-)

Korea was...an adventure. I, the historian, was very much at odds with my traveling companions, who were all about the duty free. However, have parted ways with them on the second day, I got to see a lot of cool ruins and palaces:)

Hehe, thanks for the info re: "Za" And I thought only Western comic publishers squeezed their fans this way. ^_^;;

Here's the cover (http://www.hakusensha.co.jp/hanayume/thehanayume/thehy0410.html) of that issue.

Good luck!

Thank you! That helped out quite a bit - as it turns out I was looking for the wrong thing entirely.

Oo! (PleaseOhplease, someone scan this . . .)

[lebateleur.livejournal.com]

I would if I could, but no scanner in the house. I'm sure someone on the Yami list will be able to help you out, though.
