Where can I find this Fire Emblem manga I've been hearing about?

~Mute

You'd have to be more specific. There are numerous manga based on Fire Emblem.

I'm not sure if there are any based on FE7, though. (Anyone care to correct me on that point?)

[Mute]

Feh...Anyone of them would be much appriciated. I'd like to read it, however.

Well, I've only been getting FE4 manga...mainly by stalking eBay and hunting various import shops online. And a friend of mine is going to be poking around some used bookshops for me when she goes home for the summer.

For the older stuff, you pretty much have to be resourceful and be willing to buy used, because they're not likely to show up in the regular stock of a place--you'll more likely see them infrequently showing up in the inventories of used bookshops or randomly appearing on eBay.

Hasha no Ken is newer, I think, so you might have more luck finding that. It's a sidestory to FE6, I think (haven't read it yet myself).

Tell me Project Seisen lives on. (No "it's alive" updates = scary)

[Mute]

**groans**

Ouch. This includes money? Aw...I was hoping to find a nice website...

It does. Wah, I was going to actually try to get some scripting done today and I nearly forgot. Thanks for the reminder!

Things got slowed up a lot because spring break made me lazy. XP

Edit: Mute, if you want scanlations...Seti's done some of the 4-koma, and someone did the first chapter of the Fujimori version of Seisen no Keifu, but beyond that there's not been much done. I'm working on translating some of the other version of Seisen no Keifu, but it'll be a while before I can actually manage scanlations, if I manage them at all. I'm trying, though.

[Jet Enduro]

The only thing you'll find on the web are usually fanfics/doujinshi, or hentai =P.

Oh yeah I believe Seti has those posted up in the Seisen no Keifu forum here.. Check them out.

[TheEnd]

I think the FE4 chapter 1 was posted in the anime/fanart forum by AceNoctali. But I'm not sure.

Iris, you can't get lazy. You're supposed to work day and night into it, no?

(J/k. Don't kill me. )

[Iris]

Well, that kick in the pants got to me to get the latest status report up, and I'm about to fiddle with the scripting on part of volume one. (Should really do the last segment of volume three, since that ties into the battle scene already posted, but I want to try and flag Summer down to get her opinion on a couple things first.)

Thanks for the reminder, though. I seriously told myself I was going to work on it this morning, and somehow by the time I got out of class I'd completely forgotten about it.

[TheEnd]

By the way, I don't remember if I saw something about this on your journal or not, so I ask: will there be scanlations? Or will the project remain restricted to text-translations, for the time being?

[Iris]

We're trying for scanlations. Summer has three copies of volume 5, so once I actually get ahold of that one, we should be able to do scanlations of that, at the very least.

I'm going to try for doubles of the others, although it's going to be awhile before I've got the cash to make another bulk order. I have a friend who's going to look for some cheap copies when she goes home for the summer (not paying shipping will help a lot), but it's not guaranteed that she'll find them.

So, we're shooting for scanlations, but it's likely not going to be happening anytime soon.

Hasha no Ken? Yeah, it's pretty much FE6 sidestory.. It features those characters.. ummm... I'm not sure how to refer to them. Al, Grant and Tina (if you've played FE6, remember they had those weapons - Al's Sword, Grant's Spear and Tina's Staff - they were pretty much like an Iron Sword, Iron Spear and Heal staff, but renamed and with like 50 uses each.) and then... Lance and Chad are in it too, and Roy and some others show up kinda later. (Tina kinda looks like St. Elimine. =P)

I only have three issues.. haven't read them yet because reading throughly in Japanese requires effort. XD But it's supposed to get more interesting around volume 4 or 5...

[SummerWolf]

Yes. You get a new mamkute. XD Or, a semi mamkute. XD

From the end of volume 4 onwards, Al joins up with Roy. This breaks game canon, but since Nintendo sanctioned it....*shrugs* Many of the game characters appear, as well as a dose of originals...including a honest to god Navarre clone.

I have all of Hasha no Ken at the moment. It's around volume 6-7, IIRC. Not my favourite series, so I haven't read it all that much. (Favourite = Osawa until second gen Althena)

[NeonZ]

... Mangas(even if official) aren't canon. (Well... the Zelda ones aren't... I don't know why it'd be different with the FE ones).
