Comments on: Recent Arrivals: Alichino (Vol. 1) by Kouyu Shurei http://www.todayiread.com/recent-arrival-alichino-kouyu-shurei/ A Continuous Book Review and Vocabulary Assignment Tue, 12 Mar 2013 11:19:20 +0000 hourly 1 By: Ann-Kat http://www.todayiread.com/recent-arrival-alichino-kouyu-shurei/comment-page-1/#comment-4318 Ann-Kat Sun, 19 Jul 2009 01:41:56 +0000 http://www.todayiread.com/recent-arrival-alichino-kouyu-shurei/#comment-4318 Hey Karissa, As far as I can tell, there's only 3 in the series and I'm not sure whether they're planning any more. Right now, it seems as though Shurei has dropped it altogether due to an injury. Whether rumors of a 4th are true remain to be seen. I completely agree about the artwork, it's <strong>beautiful</strong>--elegant, yet strong and ethereal. The story, however, was something else entirely. It was too slow and disjointed for my taste leaving me only marginally interested in learning more about Tsugiri's connection to the Alichino. That said, I know that some stories have a warm up period and may give the second volume a shot some time in the future. It would break my heart a little not to know what happens if I do, indeed, end up getting into the story. If I find out any more, I'll be sure to keep you updated. Hey Karissa,

I completely agree about the artwork, it’s beautiful–elegant, yet strong and ethereal. The story, however, was something else entirely.

Unfortunately at that time they weren't planning on ever finishing the story so there were only 3-4 books available. Do you know if they finally finished it? I also loved the artwork :-) I read these back a few years ago and they were really good!
