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 =) Ming. -- __ __ _ +-------------------------------+ | \/ (_)_ _ __ _ >\\\|/< | "If you wish to live wisely, | | |\/| | | ' \/ _` | |_"""_| | ignore sayings... including | |_| |_|_|_||_\__, | (O) (o) | this one." - A wise saying | +-------------|___/-----OOO--(_)--OOOo---=+=------------------------------+ | cmhung@insti.physics.sunysb.edu,http://looney.physics.sunysb.edu/~daffy | | Chi Ming HUNG,Dept.of Physics,SUNYSB,Stony Brook,NY11794.
