Yami no Matsuei fans - help!

[oiran]

So, I've got all the scanlations from sakura crisis, but apparently they've stopped because the manga was licensed to be translated and sold in the U.S. Which is perfectly fine--I'd happily buy it...if it was AVAILABLE. The publisher--per sakura crisis and other scanlation sites--is supposedly Viz, who pub tons of other manga, but they have neither YnM nor Descendants of Darkness listed as a title they produce. Nor does the manga publishing arm of the company that makes the DVDs. All I can find on eBay are the Japanese versions, and I suppose I could get those just to have them and attempt to read along with the translations I've found...

If it's just a matter of Viz getting around to producing the books, I'm surprised they aren't listed on their website. I am pretty near frantic with the overwhelming urge to read these damn books RIGHT NOW, and I'm applying my prodigious obsessive powers to fretting about the absolute lack of satisfaction I can virtually guarantee myself in this regard...

So, am I correct in thinking they're not yet translated? Or is the world just fucking cruelly with my head, keeping me from finding the nice boxed set of translated manga that everyone else surely owns already and that is now out of print?

*cries*

I so need to get into a nice, easy-access supplementary fandom and stop messing around with these obscure, painful, difficult things...

The scuttlebutt is printing in June for a US release in August from Viz for YnM.

*still crying*

This is all your fucking fault, you know. You could have just kept YnM to yourself and I'd have been blissfully oblivious...

But, June? I can live until June :)

Must have more geisha-hairdo'ed Catholic schoolboys NOW!!

I take full responsibility and accept my penance.

Oh, and btw, they have been translated all the way to the last volume published, although the scanlations are down. You can read the translations in script format here.
