Black Demon Posted July 8, 2011 Report Posted July 8, 2011 Do you know where can I read Kindaichi Case Files (the original version) in English ? I like Kindaichi too. 1
Black Demon Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 Tokyopop sold the manga in the USA but they only sold up vol. 17 (also note many of these copys are rare and very expensive) you can find some on amazon and ebay. I know. Sad isn't it... ? But do you find any fan-translated version ? KCF was available in my country years ago, but they don't sell it anymore. Though they completed the original series, the story order was kinda messed up, and the scans I found on the Internet is destroying my eyes .
Manyfaces Posted July 11, 2011 Report Posted July 11, 2011 Unfortunately, I believe no one is translating the later volumes of Kindaichi. I recently bought the first three volumes, and let me say, they are incredible rare. It took me forever, but I finally found the first volume for $20; I've seen people sell them for over a 100. It's a excellent series, but I definitely wouldn't recommended pursing the manga. They're very rare, expensive and stops at volume 17, so if you don't know Japanese, you're pretty much screwed.
Pezdude Posted August 20, 2011 Report Posted August 20, 2011 I've been trying to get a collection going for this series but the prices some people are asking for them are outrageous! I currently have volumes 1,5, and 15. But I have also borrowed The undying butterfly from a friend! My copy of 15 is ripped and torn because it was an old library copy. I was able to make my through it but I wish it was in better condition... (For example some of the corners are ripped off) However is hardcover which i found pretty cool :3 All and all I love the series! I love how that have the character charts in each chapter that marks off the recently killed suspects! As for the cases themselves, I love the detail that goes into the murders breakdowns, and back stories!
Black Demon Posted August 21, 2011 Report Posted August 21, 2011 Is the new KCF series as good as the original one ?
Pezdude Posted August 22, 2011 Report Posted August 22, 2011 I was suprised to find out that Super-Intendent Akechi turned out to be Grey Haired... I thought he was a total blond... It really bugged me; Ha ha!
Anti-APTX4869 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Posted August 22, 2011 I think they did complete it. There are Kindaichi series and Kindaichi 2 series.
Black Demon Posted September 3, 2011 Report Posted September 3, 2011 I think they did complete it. There are Kindaichi series and Kindaichi 2 series. They did complete it. But the US version was only up to vol. 17.
Wildheart888 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 A lot, I believe there are over 50 volumes. O.o Are you serious?? Actually?? O.o
Wildheart888 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 yeah its a lot, to bad nobody translates them online. Ohhhhhh, that is too bad. x( Then it's basically only translated for 17 vol, or is it translated more online..?
Anti-APTX4869 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 There are translations past 17 but they stink, So we need a group like DCTP to translate it.(to bad that won't happen ) Korea has all the volumes translated, I believe. I haven't got to finish Kindaichi (not sure if it was Season 1 or 2) volume 37... If there are Korean translations, I can try to translate to english, but won't be good... I lack Vocabs.
