New Doujinshi Added: Sovereignty

I can not thank  Joouheika (aka Fuji) enough for scanning and contributing this stunning doujinshi, Sovereignty. This was done by one of my favorite doujinka, Dogstars/Inu Nishimachi- but her work is so extremely rare!

By the way, you MUST check out Joouheika's Tumblr. It's FULL of really awesome translated Zelda web-comics, stuff you will not find anywhere else. ...now, enjoy!

Newly Translated Doujinshi: Dark Side

Dark Side has been completed so you can now read it in English! Check it out because it's absolutely stunning, one of my favorites so far. 49 pages based on Link's inner battle with his darker-half and his suppressed love for Zelda. I'm so glad Rinael translated this one, Cavalier did such a beautiful job localizing it, (the writing is sublime,) and I put a lot into cleaning & editing it so it could be as perfect as possible ;) I'm off to edit doujinshi another now!

#HyruleHistora

Someone got a response from Nintendo of America's customer service about Hyrule Historia. It's kind of whatever. I don't think it means much and I'd rather take it as a challenge to get it through that we really want this book! We do, right? Let's go for it!

How you can help on Facebook:
First join this Facebook page so we can show exactly how many fans want it.



Then let Viz know! Viz Media is, supposedly, owned in part by Shogakukan. They published the book. So, (just like the Zelda manga) if anyone is to release it in English, it would probably be Viz. Let's try to get their attention. Post about it on their facebook page.



How you can help on Twitter:
#HyruleHistoria @VIZMedia and @NintendoAmerica & send them a link to this Facebook Page so they can see how many of us there are!

And if you want to do anything else: write other divisions, plead more personally to Nintendo in an email, then please go do it!

-----

Speaking of the book, it's IN STOCK on Amazon Japan again. They do ship internationally, but it will almost double the price of the book from $40 to nearly $80. If you can't pay that much: You can try ordering it from a bookstore like Kinokuniya. That will mean that there is only domestic shipping to pay for, or NO shipping fee at all if you can pick it up at one of their locations. Just get them this info: Hyrule Historia, ISBN-13: 978-4092271593 by Shogakukan. They're very reputable, I've dealt with them for years. They will at least let you know if they can't get it for you and it shouldn't be like the Play-Asia debacle.

[a huge thanks to Jonathan for writing the letter and motivating me again!]
