That's wonderful! I should look around for how to pre-order...

Also, I posted something in the "Otogizashi errata" thread, but it doesn't look like anyone really saw it, so I will quote it here. Sorry for anyone who has to read it twice. I would just like to point out an additional errata.

The Onmyoji (Yin-Yang Masters) were not affiliated with the Shinto religion. Onmyodo (The Way of Yin and Yang) is a combination of esoteric Buddhist (Shingon) and Taoist teachings imported from China. Onmyodo is built heavily on Taoism, so if they're considered anything at all, it would be Taoist. The amount of overlap between Shinto and Onmyodo is almost negligable.

Also, just a note. "Onmyo-ji" is somewhat of a rare way to write the romaji. The more common ones are "Onmyoji" (with a macron over the last 'o' when available) and "Onmyouji."


Thank you.

You can usually pre-order manga through amazon.co.jp in case you're still looking around for how to do it. You just have to sometimes wait a while for the item to show up on their site.

I would also like to subscribe to this mag, however, I can't seem to find it listed in any of the japanese online bookshops that I frequent. Is it a relatively new manga mag? Would anyone know Comic Blade's official site link? Anime smile
