Juuousei  April 14, 2006

Для любителів дизайну від BONES (нагадаю, вони робили Раксефон :roll:, Ковбой Бібоп кіно, Вовчий дощ, Цільнометалевого алхіміка, Евріка Сім…) — нові серії від них: Juuousei (Планета Короля звірів).

There are two brothers named Tooru and Rai living on the space colony Juno who find their parents dead one day. They’re knocked out by gas and exiled to a planet called Chimera. There, they are chased by a band of men until the leader Zagi takes them in. Zagi fills them in about the planet, including how it has two cycles of 181 days each: day and night, how it is separated into four groups (called Rings) - Blanc, Sun, Night, and Ochre - that correspond with people’s skin colors, and how the only way off the planet is to become the Juuou (King of Beasts). Anyway, Tooru is feeling held back by Rai and almost attacks him, but can’t kill his brother. They’re then surrounded by Ochres because they’ve wandered into that Ring’s territory. Tooru uses his beam knife on several of the guys, which prompts one of the Ochres to open fire with his gun. A that point, the vegetation comes alive and seems to eat Rai up along with several Ochres. Tooru is also about to be swallowed into the ground, but a mysterious girl throws him a line.

Random Curiosity (+pictures)

В двох словах — складний інопланетний сюжет по манзі, що чимось нагадує той же Вовчий дощ, 11 епізодів, дизайн, як завжди, на найвищому рівні, на трубі поки що немає.

Плюс для тих, хто вже став фанатом Судзуміїї Харухі (яка там друга серія! :roll:) — Ґандам-пародія на закриття :lol:.

I fear I can’t find it anywhere :-(. Maybe it hasn’t been scanlated yet. But I do know group named in2k2 (irc: #in2k2 on Irc.Irchighway.Net) — http://in2k2.digital-takeout.net/ (that group’s dedicated to scanlating works by Itsuki Natsumi) that claimed it as their upcoming project — check it out on their site.

I’m pretty sure now it hasn’t been scanlated yet. If you have friends in Japan (or in any other country to which amazon.co.jp can ship), you can order it online at amazon.co.jp, ISBN v1 4-592-18761-X, v2 4-592-18762-8, v3 4-592-18763-6. At the moment only three volumes are available at the price of ¥780 ($8) for each volume. I’ve heard there are korean scanlation somewhere too.
