I am confused about that exactly is happening with that series.

First, does the series end on episode 28? If so, then why the preview?

Second,will the manga continue after episode 28. Will we get a crappy situtation like the Berserk series because the manga isn't done?

Third, I heard some stuff about being considered for the Cartoon Network. If this is true, then are they going to show the first twenty-six episodes of series or twenty-eight episodes? Are there planning on showing the recap episodes?

Wolfs Rain had 26 TV episodes, wiht four recaps. There's going to be four Episodes exclusive to DVD (in japan atleast), and are on two DVDs. This will possibly resolve everything.

The last two episodes are not out yet.

And there's a good chance it will go on CN.

So far the only part of the manga that's out, volume 1, takes place at the beginning with what I suppose were the first 4 episodes.*edit, I mean volume 1, I said volume 4 at first*

I had to special order the manga through some Japanese site that had very poor Engrish. >.< took about 2 months to get to me. The manga is so far really hard to find, and with volume two coming out this month, it looks like I get to go through the joys of attempting to order it once again.

The manga is based off the anime, and has so far taken a slight twist in events, but is still true to the anime. The art really lovely so far. I can't wait to get more.

The manga is being serialized in the manga phonebook magazine, Magazine Z, which I believe is a monthly magazine, which explains the slow rate of it's release. I think the Gundam Seed manga runs in that, and the new manga to the Bungai game or whatever with Gackt will be running in it as well.

Just call up any Kinokunya books and they always have a few people who speak English, and can get you any manga you want. There's 4-5 locations around the US

Does anyone know when Cartoon Network will be showing Wolf's rain? I thought it was supposed to air the same time Witch Hunter Robyn did.

No, it was set to air in April. Last time I checked, it still is, alongside a new season of Inu-Yasha.

-_- Sadly, I live no where near close enough to a Kunokunya, and their site isn't much help to me. I have a friend who lives in New York though, so sometimes I order through her, and she goes to pick the things I need at Kinokunya. Kinokunya doesn't always have the manga you want, usually you have to special order a certian title. *another reason she had to order it online*

Sure, you'll need the ISBN which is 4-06-349139-0, and I ordered it through http://www.jamall.com/. Click on the "English Page" to get the English version of the site. I really don't suggest ordering through them, they don't always have things in stock. Look around at imported Japanese book sites first.

Oh yeah, the WR cover can be seen on the official site at http://www.wolfs-rain.com/pd_comics.php
