Complaining works! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! My Tsuioku no Jade volumes arrived yesterday! ♥

Man, why is this an AU? Because yes, it is an AU. I can go and take metacanon as personal canon (i.e, Tales of Fandom) if they don't interfere with the original canon. This, however, completely rewrites the Nebilim sidequest. It's a pity because the flashbacks are really spiffy.

I won't comment on chapters 1-3 since they're already scanned and translated. And I can't read Japanese beyond katakana so I don't get the dialog :(

What's in the rest of volume 1? )

I'll make a summary of volume 2 later. It's not bad, but it is rather different.

tl;dr: main TotA manga FTL, TnJ FTW!

a. I guess it's no secret I find the main manga boring and lazy in characterization. These last two chapters are odd to define: On one hand, they skipped Grand Chokmah. I'm all for manga changing game events; I love the Zelda ones ffs. It's just that I fucking love Grand Chokmah. On the other hand, they introduced the Sheridan old brigade and Noelle early, and that was about the only good part of this. Oh, and I can't believe the fight with Dist was this unfunny.

b. But OMG Tsuioku no Jade #3 was out, too! ♥ So fucking awesome. Cut for spazz in bullet points )

Wait, wait. Isn't this Nebilim in her Locrian Colonel uniform?! *_*

Incidentally, Asuka has a new website and TnJ has a minipage, which is pretty much a list of characters (ffff, the Jaspar dude is there and Saphir|Dist isn't). But the interesting part is that they have the first ten or so pages of the current chapter. Hey, it's better than a complete lack of raws. I do wish I knew what happened with that flashback in the academy.
