Kenji Wrote:So far, RJ series' Japanese editions are published from Fusosha. But.....
I checked Fusosha's official site, and they says "Now, we have no schedule for new RJ series. As the series goes on, the sales fell off and they are unprofitable for us. It's too bad and sorry for that."
:eek6: :cryin: :mad2: :prrr:
I can read English edition, but my friends can't read in English! Oh, Paul! Please help Japanese Repairman Jack fan! :adore:

fpw Wrote:[SIZE="3"]Yes, Kenji. Apparently your fellow Japanese got tired of Jack. While sales of each book are rising in the US, they were falling in Japan. Too bad. I'm sure they would have liked By the Sword. [/SIZE]

Kenji Wrote:No, no, no. That's NOT true. It's Fusosha's fault. They didn't release hardcover edition! All RJ novels were softcovers.
ked BY THE SWORD.
Paul, why don't you contact to other publishers? I recommend Hayakawa.
They are well known than Fusosha. Fusosha didn't, but Hayakawa will release hardcover edition RJ.
