Book question

[btamamura.livejournal.com]

Hey there, minna-san!

I'm getting an advance next fortnight, and was looking at 4koma books on yesasia, and came across a book called Trading Romance. The front cover has Julious, Zephel, Isato, Yorihisa, Limoges and Akane on it...oh, and Julious is holding Akuram's mask, while Yorihisa looks to be summoning something in between his palms.

Anyway, does anyone have this book? What can you tell me about it? (Still getting it either way!)

Thanks!

I doubt this is any help but I've seen ads for that book in my etoile 4-koma books XD I quickly scanned the page HERE (http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w119/309707834/Otome/Scans/neoroma_4koma.jpg), all I can tell you is that it looks like one big crazy crossover [I wonder of they do crossovers into both worlds, or if it's just ange in haruka-land? XD]
Take pics if you do get it! Because that's one of the ones I don't have yet ^^;

That's one thing I am seriously hoping...or even if they really do mean Trading Romance as Akane with the Shugosei while Angelique is with the Hachiyo, either way would make me happy (though I would LOVE to see more scenes involving Lumiale and Eisen interacting :3)

Sure thing! I'll scan them at the net cafe, my digicam is pathetic when it comes to taking pics of books (failed attempt at getting a kawaii pic from Furuba manga proved that...)

a-ha! alright, I read this post at 6am on a friday, so now that I'm more coherent [maybe XD] I went through my ange books and found this little comic preview in one of them HERE (http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w119/309707834/Otome/Scans/neoroma_4koma_2.jpg) - looks like Mel and Tenma in one [maybe? I only know Haruka1 ^^;], and Oscar hitting on Akane in the other why am I not surprised? -_-; Hope this was helpful?

XDDDD My excitement has just increased times infinity! XD This was very helpful, thank you very much for easing my puzzled mind! (Oh, in the strip with Mel is Katsuzane from Haruka 2)

Posting late to confirm fandramon's findings - the "Trading Romance" series was a 4-koma feature that ran in the later LoveLove Tsuushins. I imagine this is an anthology.

Vital correction

That series was published in "Cure!", not LLT; sorry.

Got the book! Now to find a scanner! Here's what I had found in it so far...

*It covers the timelines of (Angelique) Special, Special 2 and Tenkuu no Requiem and (Haruka) 1, 2 and Banjou Yuugi.
*The Hachiyo and Akuram trade roles with the Shugosei, here's the switches...
Julious - Akuram
Clavis - Yasuaki/Yasutsugu
Randy - Tenma/Katsuzane
Lumiale - Eisen/Motomi
Oscar - Yorihisa/Yoritada
Marcel - Shimon/Akifumi
Zephel - Inori/Isato
Olivie - Tomomasa/Hisui
Luva - Takamichi/Yukitaka
*There is interaction of the switched characters with remaining characters from the original series...which means Shirin will fall in love with Julious! XD

There was also an omake involving Ange and Kahoko switching places, so Ange was gifted with the musical violin, while Kahoko was Densetsu no Etoile.

I shall share scans once possible. Look forward to some cute crossover images (I love the one of Eisen and Lumiale playing their respective instruments behind Yasuaki and Clavis!:3)

OMG that sounds so awesome! Although most of those swaps make sense, wtf is with Tomomasa/Olivie? They're so not alike at all o.O it would've been more amusing if Lumiale suddenly had a magical violin though, rofl, I don't even know anything about Corda though XD
Start a fresh new post whenever you do get the chance to access a scanner, this sounds like an epic lol-adventure :p
