SF Signal Mind Meld: On revolutions and independence movements

[la_marquise]

I'm over at SF Signal, as one of their Mind Meld authors discussing books about revolutions and independence movements today. There are some great recommendations there.

And Happy 4th July to my friends in the USA.

Skirt of the day: denim.

So am I. It astonishes me that it's not known outside Japan and parts of Europe. It's a wonderful series, both as a manga and an anime.

I haven't had the opportunity to read the manga yet, but I plan to as soon as I can (on the whole, both manga and anime are a cult phenomenon here but rather difficult to get hold of).

The manga is even better than the anime, I think. There's more character development, and, certainly in the French edition, you get the extra stories, too (about Oscar, Andre and her niece Loulou in the happy days). I got mine in French. If I see an Italian edition, I will let you know.

Thank you, but after your comment I think I'll go straight for the French edition :) (need to keep my French in shape as well, two birds with a stone and all that...).
How many volumes there are?

There are 3 -- the main story in two big volumes and then a smaller 3rd volume with the extras. Amazon in France seem to have the Italian editions, too, at present. (Possibly 2nd hand, but...)

Thank you! I'm hopping over to have a look. :)
