Novels

Does anyone have any idea as to why novels 4 and 5, which were supposed to be out months ago, suddenly are not out? Is it just here in Canada, or did you guys in the States get them?

Either way, I'm really pissed.

According to Anime Castle, novels four and five aren't released yet. I haven't even seen book three at any of my local bookstores. I live in the States. Tokyopop is getting slow.

I work for Indigo, and I was keeping my eyes firmly planted on the books and their release dates. They originally had planned to release them in August and October, but those months passed, and they never showed up. I checked the Tokyopop website, and there isn't anything on there at all (not to mention that the whole site is damned near impossible to navigate), despite the fact that Indigo not only has the cover art for 4 and 5, but also has a release date for 6 as well.

It's such a cocktease.

The Tokyopop site use to be much easier to get around until they revamped it into the current version. I managed to locate the novels before the site went down but don't remember what dates they had listed.

Okay, went back to the site and the suppose release date for book four is today. Here's the link. http://tokyopop.com/shop/1448/ScrappedPrincess/4.html There's no mention about five and until the volume five becomes black, there won't be any info.

Dude! Check this out! http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/Scrapped-Princess-4-March-Knight-Ichiro-Sakaki/9781595329875-item.html?ref=Search+Books%3a+%2527scrapped+princess%2527

It's different cover art! Now I'm REALLY confused! Although, the cover art on yoru link makes sense, it being about Leo and all....

That's....really strange. I never heard of different covers being used for the same book, unless one cover was geared towards kids and the other adults. I do wish that they had kept the original Japanese artwork instead of changing it.
