Donno about this series, and I'm no Sue =), but I happen to know the title
"nana toshi monogatori" or "shichi toshi monogatori" means "A Tale of
Seven Cities" (a la Dickens =), or it may be "A Tale of the Seven
Metropolis" because "toshi" can mean "town", "city", "metropolis" etc.
I think the novel came out in March of 1990, donno about the anime though.
Talking about Tanaka's work, seems lately he's writing/translating books
that have to do with ancient Chinese history, like the 4 volumes (so far)
of the Sui-Tang Dynasties, wonder if they'd make an anime out of it =)
