I would like to thank you Rosamar3 for tipping me off on the new collaboration between Hapi Mari and wedding magazine Zexy. The news and images are posted on PetitComic's own facebook webpage (which sometimes I forget exists after a while because I don't check regularly). Anyways, the collaboration is essentially just a short booklet that comes with the magazine. It has some original drawings in color and short comic strips that cannot be read anywhere else (or so it claims). Judging from the title as it being a "support book to weddings", I think it also includes a checklist of wedding preparation stuff. I may just run out to the bookstore to get it after the interview tomorrow! It's across the street anyways. I hope Kinokuniya still has the issue and that it wouldn't be marked up too much. For those who are interested in purchasing online, you can find out more here. Or you could just run to the local bookstore like I do. Lastly, a small translation for my readers who've been patient about my lack of updates. It's a message from the author on the Hapi Mari postcard you would get if you subscribed yearly to the magazine.

We’re finally at the last chapter. Thank you for sticking to the series for the
whole 3½ year run! A lot of things
happened for the characters during these 3½ years, but I’ve also experienced
and thought about many things in the real world while drawing this, so the
series was really meaningful to me. The
word “bonds” is used readily nowadays, but I would be happy if the reader can
see how Chiwa and Hokuto’s “marriage” turns out.

Off to interview preparation for tomorrow. I think my jitters are coming back.
Thank you very much for the information, the translation and the link, but my Japanese is zero, and I do not think the magazine sent to Spain.
ReplyDeleteIf you buy and you can, please let us know the contents of the book of hapi Mari.
Good luck with the job interview and a very affectionate greeting.
Kikou ... ^^

Whisperpuppies Hello, I hope the job interview was very good. I found a page that talks about the contents of the "Wedding Book" by Hapi Mari:

It's in Japanese, if you have not had time to buy, so you know more or less what it is.
A very affectionate greeting.
Haha, I actually feel quite ambivalent about it. But anyways, you're so good at finding these things! That person seems a bit disappointed with the booklet...oh no. I did go to the bookstore and they didn't seem to carry it, and I had already asked them to order the July issue. It only has 8 pages...that's soooo short. But if they have it in stock (the bookstore people are going to check for me), I'll scan images if I get it~
DeleteThe truth is that I found by chance when looking for images of "wedding book".
DeleteThe translations of Japanese-Spanish Google is very similar to the dialogue of a movie American cowboys and Indians, but more or less understood what you said and it makes the transcript of the dialogue of the 8-page short story before the wedding.
I hope you get lucky and get the book, I would be thrilled to see its contents.
A very affectionate greeting.
Dear whisperpuppies, I've been a fan of hapi mari for 2 years now and I was grateful that you were able to extend to us the effort of translating this manga. I was looking forward for more of Hapi Mari Novel, since it just ended up on Update 8. When's 9th comming? ^_^ You know, it really saddened me when Enjiou Maki decided to end the series in just 40 chapters. I really didn't want the series to end, as a matter of fact this was one of the best mangas I've came across with because of the interesting story and good graphic. If by any chance, I hope Enjiou Maki can still make Hapi Mari part2! =)I'm always thrilled with Hokuto and Chiwa's personalities. Thanks for the hard work again!
