Are these pages from the extra stories?

PS.
By the way, where is the Extra Stories Vol.2?

[Cailon]

Many many many thanks for the hard work with these!! Wow that really was a shitload of work alltogether!

@Int:
These extra-pages (tech-notes) appeared in the original BAA manga but VIZ didn't bother to translate them and so they're never included in the VIZ volumes (the BAA scans are all from the VIZ version). So if you don't own an edition where those pages were included, this is new material for you, even though its "only" BAA and absolutely not GLO related.

@ Extra Story Vol. 02: Aaaah, but you're a hardcore fan, you should know that! You probably just forgot. There were 3 extra stories, they came with the Gunnm Complete Edition (containing 6 books in total) and extra Stories (Holy Night, Sonic Fingers and Homecomming) were included in book #1, #3 and #4. The the "numbers" of the extra stories only point at their respective volume and don't mean a continuousness.

edit: JUST realizing that Novas flan-invasion in vol. 05 is like the fairy tale Sweet Porridge^^

edit2: I had already known all that because the german edition includes these pages, but I'm always stunned anew when I read it. He really made up most things "on the run", and now they fit so well like it was all thought through from the very beginning

Yes, I love this site!
I love to take part in this fanservice!

I've read a hobbyist-translated from French extra stories v1,3,4, so I've just got a bit surprised that you're re-translating this. My first thought was "a double job? o_0". I don't remember where I've got it, maybe even here (but still I have it).

I didn't know that, thank you.
I've thought that they're going in an enumeration order: #1,#2,#3,#4.

I've just had a hypotheses about "what ExS Vol.2 could possibly be" when I've seen this:

I was forgetting the obvious: these pages did not exist in English. Now they do, and ^Ripper's Anime edition is exclusive. And we are also going to have the Complete Edition as well.

Again: I do love this site!!

I must find Yukitos early works and get them translated!

That would make us privileged!

[crazyankan]

Sergio: I sent an email to a girl that said the was going to buy Hito.
I hope we can nag so much that he must scan it for us ^^

*update* she is going to ask a buddy if she can use his/her scanner.

You're going to translate his early works, but you forget that there still are BAA parts missing.
I'm really concerned about this: http://www.rippersanime.com/Forum/viewt ... ?f=5&t=345.

Does anyone know anything about it, or has it? Will it be found and translated?

[Sergio Nova]

I could order it from my Japanese store.
The question is: will anyone be interested in translating the book?
I do not want to import a book that is unreadable to me just to have it.
I could buy and scan it if there is a use.
