Hey there! I picked up volume 21 at the Motor City Convention, but then came home to find my comic store had ordered and pulled one for me. They throw a fit when I don't pick up ordered books, so I picked it up to avoid the guilt trip. Does anyone want the unread Volume 21 I got from my store? I'll ...

I actually asked Mr. Sakai about the dots at Novi this year: I've been looking to stitch together an Usagi uniform to wear to one of my Shinkendo classes and had been wrestling with the "what are those dots" question for a while. I asked Mr. Sakai if they were spots or just a texture, and ...

Hello! Since David Petersen gave me his blessing and encouragement to continue drawing my little mouse knight, I've been putting out a lot of little drawings of my Sir Bedwir. It has, however, raised some drawing and technique questions. If you read this post, Mr. Sakai, what do you use for inking y...

Joe here! Jennie and I had a GREAT time! We are very lucky to have met you all. Sometimes when it seems there are few good, friendly people left in the world, we go and meet a ton of new folks who are pleasant and thoughtful! . . . and you're all people from an internet forum no less!! Usually those...

1409 is my guess!

Some of those near the edges are hard to decide if they're dots or a fuzzy edge!

Good luck everyone!

If someone looks into calling the MCCC people asking about left-over shirts, let us know! If I remember after work I'll call on it.

I blew through my cash quite willy-nilly at the show and missed several opportunities including the shirt and comissioning a sketch from Mr. Sakai!

Thanks for this! I will see you there on Saturday of the show! If you could bring Yokai and Volume 21 of the trades--my comic shop has been having trouble getting them in. I hope they don't show up this week since I'm asking you for them! There were other folks around the boards looking for 8, 9, 10...

From the information out there, they are letting ones go out of print and redesigning them so they match the more recent trades that have been coming out. It'll be subtle, but the best thing to do if you're impatient like me is to poke around at your local stores or ask around boards who might help ...

I think 11 is getting reprinted at the same time as 9 and 10--meaning August (I think--its definitely this summer). I was lucky and one of the local stores here had all three on the shelf. Knowing the guy, if he'd have known they were out of print, he'd have charged more or tried to sell them on E-b...

Thankfully I've found the hard to find ones am currently reading Volume 20 and making swift progress toward current issues. It seems Yokai is one my store hasn't been able to order. I'm sort of glad for that, because then that will give me something to buy directly from Mr Sakai! I'll post on your f...

Drawing the sword is one of the 5 core teachings we work on in Shinkendo. Each part is important, but dang: It is really dangerous taking that sword in and out of the scabbard. Its been two years and I still have to look where the koiguchi is and I the mune slids off the sides half the time. We cert...

Yeah, I had my eye on that auction! I was watching it, but thanks for looking out for a brother!! If I don't win it, I'll contact you and see what we can work out. Thanks for the heads up!

Hey folks! I'm dying to read these trades in order and right now I'm missing Volume 10. I know its getting reprinted, but I can't wait for it as I have the rest coming via my comic store. Does anyone have a volume ten I could buy? Condition doesn't matter. Let me know! I'd be happy to borrow one til...

Aye aye aye. . . this thread should be terminated. Haa ha! On the original topic, I ordered volume 10 from a website. It didn't look weird or back ordered until I got my receipt. It said 'new printing.' When I contacted them, they just replied that it is indeed coming in August. Billed me already an...
