A brand new smankin' set of
forums are now up for public usage, and news will be aggregated through an RSS feed from the
news board from now on, instead of edited manually. Various other parts of the site are being updated as we speak, hopefully for the better.
During this long absence, Piano no Mori has progressed! The 16th volume came out in 2009, right on schedule, and has since been made available in both Taiwan and Hong Kong. The 17th volume came out in Japan just two weeks ago, on March 23rd, 2010, and the series continues to be serialized irregularly in Kodansha's
Morning magazine. The full set of volumes 1-14 may be purchased
on Kodansha's website for only ¥7650, or about 80 US dollars. How will Kai do in the International Chopin Competition, I wonder...?
edit: Small updates. As you can see, the RSS feed has been successfully integrated and all that remains is formatting and old newspage cleanup.
