They weren't dropped. They simply can't release another volume or they will ONLY lose money.
So, we have to get more copies of it sold in order to see volume 3. Were not lazy, I don't think (lol), so lets get the word out there. k?
The story isn't about DEATH.
It's about the people that GET affected by death, not the actual people that die.
So basicly, read the first story in volume 1 and you'll get a good idea of what kind of book it is.

Ballad of a Shinigami
I read parts of Ballad of a Shinigami and it wasn't that bad. Also, I'm new to the forums, Hello. :happyhappy:

I'd probably recommend watching the anime and then reading the novel just so you have some idea of what to expect. But the stories are largely self-contained.randomguy ver. 2 wrote:I saw a copy of volume 2 at my local borders. Should I buy it? I know light novels are a good investment (lol), but that aside, would I be able to "get" whats going on without voume 1?
(Incidentally, this borders also had vols 1 of the manga and LN of SP, which I also picked up)

Any idea where can I buy them online in new condition?

edit2: book depository seems to have it as well, chances are shipping is free as well.
http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/book/97 ... -Shinigami
if you don't mind paying a lot in shipping, amazon.de still has one copy
http://www.amazon.de/Ballad-Shinigami-2 ... 818&sr=8-2
edit: if you need help translating something/don't understand german send me a pm, or post here.

Re: Ballad of a Shinigami
As this light novel series is on indefinite hiatus, I was thinking about picking up some of the Japanese ones.
My Japanese proficiency is pretty questionable, though, so I was wondering how difficult the writing/reading/comprehension (etc., since I obviously can't think of the right word) was for this series.
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Ballad of a Shinigami
I don't think you'd find it an enjoyable experience if you aren't able to read Japanese well enough. The novels are just that... page after page of vertical columns of text with the rare full-page illustration. Unlike a manga, a light novel will be quite a daunting experience. Might as well use your time and money on something else more enjoyable.Tari wrote:As this light novel series is on indefinite hiatus, I was thinking about picking up some of the Japanese ones.

Re: Ballad of a Shinigami
I hear Strawberry Panic light novels will get an omnibus! Is this a test to see how well it'll sell for the other light novels? Are there any plans to do similar onmibus's for Shinigami no Ballad or Boogiepop?
