Dear Reader, I hear you clamoring for more of The Twelve Kingdoms books—and how! Like you, I can't wait to read the next installment of Yoko's story and find out what exactly awaits her. After all, it seems the end of her journey is really just the beginning! But while our crack translator Alexander O. Smith feverishly works to complete the next installment, you and I will have to wait. (Thankfully, not too long! You'll be able to find the second volume in stores in March 2008.) While you're waiting, why not pass the time by losing yourself in another great story? From Duan Surk's heart-pounding, video-game styled adventures in Witches' Forest and The Two-Headed Wizard to Alexandra Benno's unforgettable talents for espionage work in our first original novel series Alex Unlimited, the characters and stories in our prose line are as diverse and interesting as you are! And we're doing our best to keep the good stuff coming. We're working diligently to bring you additional volumes of the series you love, like the misadventures of adorable “reverse vampire” Karin in Chibi Vampire and the nonstop action of vampires versus the Vatican in the incomparable Trinity Blood series Rage Against the Moons and Reborn on the Mars! Plus, we're just about to kick-start some exciting new story lines, including Full Metal Panic (September 2007)—featuring Sergeant Sousuke Sagara, who goes undercover as a high school student to protect beautiful schoolgirl Kaname Chidori from the KGB; Welcome to the NHK (October 2007)—featuring college dropout Satou Tatsuhiro, who accidentally stumbles upon an incredible conspiracy perpetrated by the Japanese Broadcasting Company NHK; and Missing (November 2007)—featuring Kyoichi Utsume, who was spirited away as a child and is almost as fascinated with the “other” world as it is with him! We are so delighted with the warm reception you've extended to TOKYOPOP's prose fiction line—so thanks to all of you who have read the books and spread the word. To reward you, our loyal readers, we promise to continue offering exclusive excerpts and insider content on the Pop Fiction page—be sure to come back often to see what's new! Happy reading, Jenna Winterberg |
