Just got the Chinese version of a manga originally by Takahashi Nano and titled "anata no shiranai gineiden" (The Legend of Galactic Heroes that you don't know). The Chinese translation of the title is something like "Legend of Galactic Heroes: Super Laugh-inducing Edition". I think you get the idea =) What's in it? Silly things and more silly things =) The front cover has Yang and Reinhard riding on a toy rocket ship... Kircheis wears a funny bowl-like object on his head... Reinhard tries out different school uniforms for the new semester (they're all in school), including sailor fuku... I think you get the idea =) The original manga was published in 1992 by Tokuma Shoten, but I doubt it's still available. The authorized Taiwanese version is available from Chinese Online (http://www.ChineseOnline.com/) The catalog number is: nbdr0118 (ISBN 957-25-2624-3) and the price is $7.50 There's a scan of the cover in: http://www.chineseonline.com/cover/nbdr01/nbdr0103.htm (the last one). If I have time, I'll scan some funnier pix in there and put it on my LoGH page. jaa, 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.
