I'm so excited. I've been waiting for these since I read the special features on the anime DVD's... I'll finally get the whole story. There are too many things that just confuzzled me on that show... Of course, I know I like enigmatic stuff (like lain) but some stuff in Boogiepop annoyed me because, unlike Lain, I know there is a definate answer, I just wasn't getting it. Well, I can finally get it.

Where do the books/manga take place in the chronology.I know there was a
live action movie called Boogiepop And Friends that was supposed to be a
prequel to Boogiepop Phantom.

Well, there was a live action movie called "Boogiepop and Others" which was allready released in the US...


I think Boogiepop phantom takes place between books 1 and 2, but there is no guarantee that the chronology of the books is linear... Actually, we're almost guaranteed it isn't.

I hope someone releases "Hotaru no Haka" in the US, too... I really want to read that one as well. I think it is rather rare for non-manga books from JP to get a US release...

I hope that the book covers the what happened prior to the majority of the series. I would especially like to know more about the beginning of Boogiepop.

I found the official release date: http://www.gomanga.com/manga/boogiepop.php

The fisrt novel is coming in February... So much for a Christmas gift... They called them "light novels" I wonder what that means? 230 is a novel... I thought they were going to be, like, 120 pages long. Of course, there is font size, book size, and spacing to consider, I suppose...

This cartoon really made me a Madhouse fan. It's one of their best.
