Just wondering if anyone knew of a RoD comic translation. The one I was following stopped due to "boring story" or whatever. Thanks.

Nope, I never even knew such a thing existed; I thought it was just the anime. Seems odd though... that they would stop for someone's opinion of "boring story".
I am not lost. You can only be lost if you have no purpose. And I have purpose.

As weird as it may sound, that was the opinion expressed by the people who were translating it, and not of the people who visited the site. Why they were translating it in the first place if they found it boring is beyond me. They were working on it in conjunction with another group though, so that might have something to do with it.

That reminds me of a time when a site that hosted the Yawara! comics went down because the guy who hosted it didn't like comics, anime or anything related. All I could think about that was why he started doing it in the first place.

You know Radish, I always imagine your posts being read aloud by your avatar in a very worried and upset voice... how long have you had that one now?

Hehe... yea... the avatar really 'makes' you Radish... I feel the same way. It makes your posts sound pessimmistic.
Unless you write: "THIS is 733t" or something.

I have all the Japanese mangas. It's weird to say the least. Yomiko plays the angsty heroine looking for her lost love...

So is it completely different from the 3 part OVA?

Quite a bit, yeah. For one thing, there is no Nancy, and really no sluething, instead Yomiko takes over a class at a weird school and joins in a war between the two student bodies, and discovers the mysterious past of British Library Association Attack Corps, and the previous agents of her title, The Paper.

Wow... that sounds like a completely different 'feel'. I enjoyed the Read or Die OVA but I almost wish it was episodic with more characters. How long is the manga? Are there any interesting characters?

It's four books long, the new characters are Sumiregawa Nenene, a prodigy author who Yomiko wants desparately to get an autograph/sexual favors from, Donny, Yomiko's lost love, and Ridley, her mysterious enemy.

Hmm he does look depressed... I've had this one for the longest of any avatar I think... Maybe it's time for a more cheerful one.

Just speculating but if the 3 OVAs get a DVD release(which they got) isn't it very likely that the manga will get an american release too?I suppose it isn't a big series and well known but I do hope it gets released.I'd really like to read the manga.I've only seen the first OVA and it was "special".

Kinda OT here, but: Does Read or Dream [the yet to be aired TV series] have any relation to either the OVA or original manga?

I am not sure, but I think it has to do with future holders of the codename "The Paper". People of that codename have a bad habit of dying...

Read or Dream is currently published in Ultra Jump, along with Gunm Last Order, Puchimon (Aoi Nanase), (maybe next mounth!) Bastard (lololol) and for a few mounth those stories of bizarre people written (and drawn for a few mounth) by Araki himself (Hirohiko, not Shingo). The 10th chapter of RoD is published this mounth. I don't know much about it, I'm not really interested in either this or the first series, but it's about 3 girls ("the paper sisters") and... that's pretty much all I can say about it, it looks quite generic in my opinion. But again, my taste in manga are as outcast as my taste in charcters (Have I said here that Chin is an absolute killer in Kof 2002?)

I think the Read or Dream TV might have something to do with the Read or Die OVA's unresolved plot points. The promotion dvd showed scenes from the OVA's main points before proceeding into Read or Dream...

From what I hear, Read or Dream doesn't involve the same characters as Read or Die, so I don't care much about it.

Yes, they don't have the same characters. I was talking about the plot. ie the ijin.
Otherwise, the sequence was only to show yomiko as one of the previous "the paper", though it seems she'll get mentioned a bit in ROD TV too.
