| So, did anyone read any of Slayers novels written by Kanzaka? I bought all eight recently and i'm delighted. It's hella too bad that (as far as i know, if i'm wrong- plz, correct me) no one wansts to translate the other ones ;__; ... |
  |
| I also own volumes 1-8, they're awesome. Too bad Tokyopop gave up translating after volume 8, but at least there is a very good fan translation for volume 9 (hosted at Baka-Tsuki). And apparently, they're planning to translate all of them. =D |
| I have only read the 1st and 9th volume of the novels. can't seem to find 2 through 7 anywhere online. if there's any site that hosts those said novels, care to point me in the right direction? as for volume 9 onwards, yeah, like confused_kitsune mentioned, someone is working on translating and releasing them. though its been a while since the Slayers page on B-T was updated. |

| The anime series cover most of the novel series, doesn't it? How much content in the novels isn't covered in the anime? |

AddleBoy said: The anime series cover most of the novel series, doesn't it? How much content in the novels isn't covered in the anime? the first Slayers TV series and Slayers NEXT were adapted from materials of volumes one through 8. TRY is mostly new material not taken from the novels and was more of a shameless plug for Hajime Kanzaka's other project, Lost Universe. as for Revolution/Evolution-R, as far as I know, Zuuma was a character in volume 6 of the novels. its a mixed bunch of canon and non-canon. hopefully, the Dynast Arc gets adapted soon. maybe this time around, somewhere around the neighborhood of 10 years or less. lol |

| Yup, I don't mind reading fan-translations, however, i'm a real book freak and i just love having favorite books on my shelves xD... |
| |
| I bought them on ebay by paypal, cose im from poland and there is no way for such books to be here, unfortunately. And bout the money~ at that kind of moments im really glad i started working this year ^_~ . /offtop |

| Hi guys, i'm a great fan of slayers but i've been living in south america for a couple of years and i can't find any slayers novel in here.. so, is there any posibility that anyone would make a scan and share it with me? i would be really pleased! And also i have many interesting things about slayers i could share with you :D |
 |
| hmm i don't think they will publish more volumes in engklish. Our last hope are translating groups like Baka-tsuki. Unfortunately they aren't translating any more Slayers volumes ( if i remember they translated few of them) |
 |
| I'm up to volume 17 of the latest edition of the main novel. I think I have read about 15 of the external novels without paying attention to the order in which they were published. I have read three smaller novels. I also read Slayers VS Orphen and Slayers 25th Anniversary Ansorogi. |

@kihel What language did you read them in? I can't find any translated in English except the first 8.
| @Slayers363 I usually read in Japanese. I think I just didn't look hard enough, because when I search in Japanese to see if the novel has been translated, I find an article about the latest 17 volumes translated in English. http://slayersnext.blog51.fc2.com/blog-entry-3744.html?sp |

@kihel Thanks for the information just found out kindle has it, glad I found English versions sadly no paperback.
| @Slayers363 It's not a seasonal work, and its readership is limited, so I can understand why it's a bit disappointing that it's not being translated into a library. Well, it's better that you can read it in an electronic version. Well, I don't think drama CDs and such have been translated, so if translations can be done smoothly, there will be more content that we have not been able to enjoy! |
