Information about THE HAUNTED AIR Japanese edition - Kenji - 10-01-2005
I found out information about Japanese edition "THE HAUNTED AIR".
The title is not yet fixed. It's only "Repairman Jack(6)".
Release date: Late October.(Maybe October 30)
Publisher: Fusosha.
Style: Vol.1 & Vol.2.
I got Hosts in January 28, and The Haunted Air is October....the interval is only 9 months! The interval of "All the Rage" and "Hosts" was 2 years and 6 months......
I read THA in English. But of course I buy Japanese edition. This is my favorite RJ novel. I must say it's best one! So I'm looking forward to it.
BTW.......what is Japanese title??? In my guess, it's.....
1, 心なき少女の館(Kokoro naki shojo no yakata)"The House of heartless girl"
2, メネローズ・マノーの怪(Menelaus Manor no kai)"Mystery of Menelaus Manor"
3, 霊媒師の災難(Reibaishi no sainan)"The trouble with scammers"
What do you think about them? My favorite is 1. "Heartless" have two meaning. "No heart" and "cruel".
Well, someday I'll know it!

Why do they print them in two volumes? Is Japanese that much longer than English?
Nice Avatar. That looks like the movie poster.

Everybody ask about it. Even I don't understand. Maybe it's a publisher's conspiracy.
Quote:Is Japanese that much longer than English?
Hmm......I think English is longer than Japanese, but I'm not sure. Okay, Someday I'll try to count both edition's numbers of words. :p

Today I bought The Haunted Air; Japanese edition!
In whole RJ series, this is a most thick book(s). Now I got why they are expensive. :eek: Well, I don't care about price, especially for RJ books.
They are Japanese edition's covers. Very.....simple. Where is Jack's silhouette?

In the US Gauntlet copies it is the second thickest. The thickest is Crisscross.
One day, I might try to get some of these Japanese First Editions.

Really.....? Hmmm, I guess so too. Okay, when I got Crisscross Japanese edition, I compare them.
By the way, I comapred both of The Haunted Air; Japanese edition and English paperback. English version is 532 pages, but Japanese edition is 876 pages!!! :eek:
