So this is the EVA die hard board?? :toothy: Great, because I don't know where to ask anymore. I got my hands on two of Sadamotos other mangas: "Koto no Oni" and "Archaic Smile". But I got a little bit confused and now I'm not sure if these versions are even complete. Too sad, because I'd like to do a translation of it.

Let's check ...

Koto no Oni has 2 chapters each 15 pages, that's what I found on the internet. Well, my version of chapter 1 has only 14 pages. Can anybody confirm the exact page count? Does anybody have "Der Mond" in the limited edition? Or the Newtype issue from February 1994?

I've 2 chapters of "Archaic Smile". 24 and 28 + 1 additional page from the #11 and #12 2008 issues of "Comic Charge". I thought great because there is no "Archaic Smile" in early issues in 2008 and ANN sounds like he just started the manga with these issues ([url]http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-05-08/eva-sadamoto-to-draw-archaic-smile-short-story[/url]). Well, but I found out that there are 32 pages in some start issue of "Comic Charge" in 2007. Can anybody confirm this?

Here's where I found this: http://johakyu.net/archives/2009/03/2009-03-12-000945.php

And I also like to translate (with the help of some friends, I'm not a native speaker neither Japanese nor English) the other Sadamoto mangas from the old Weekly Shonen Champion. But it's sooo hard to get one's hands on it. I pretty much don't care where it comes from. I'm willing pay for it but I don't even know where I should start looking ... I've anyone can help me out, here I am. :toothy:

Welcome [Phoenix]! I'm going to help you with those questions. I can't provide you any materials, but I will give you information.

I am not sure of this, but I think this kind of topics should go to Related Works & People on the EvaGeeks.org Forums Forum Index.


· Answering the questions related to Kōto no Oni 「孤島の鬼」 (Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, 1994):

- If I remember correctly, the number of pages and chapters stated in the website you posted is correct. Obtaining the two magazines with the chapters now it's complicated.

The only recent option for purchase I encountered was in Mandarake Nakano (まんだらけ 中野店). Coinciding with the release of 'Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone', they put up in exhibition and later auctioned the two NEWTYPE Feb. '94 (月刊ニュータイプ 1994年2月号) and NEWTYPE Mar. '94 (月刊ニュータイプ 1994年3月号) magazines.

· Answering the questions related to Archaic Smile 「アルカイック スマイル」 (Yoshiyuki Sadamoto & Mako Takaha, 2007-2008):

- The first chapter of this, a 'one shot', was in the Comic Charge (コミックチャージ) magazine debut on March 20th 2007. It was a special issue, so it wasn't numbered.

A continuation of the story was later published in the issues you mentioned; Comic Charge vol.11 (「コミックチャージ」vol.11), released on May 20th 2008, and Comic Charge vol.12 (「コミックチャージ」vol.12), released on June 3rd 2008.

· About obtaining old issues of the Weekly Shōnen Champion (週刊少年チャンピオン), you have the possibility of purchasing some of the magazines you're interested in through the Akita Shōten list of Mandarake (まんだらけ) vintage comics section. The fees and disponibility are variable, so take a look everytime it is actualized to find more offers.

Bump. I've never heard of this before, but according to the Minna No Eva Fan article here http://neweva.blog103.fc2.com/blog-entry-3460.html in the January 2015 Young Ace, Sadamoto stated he plans to resume the Archaic Smile manga this coming Spring (2015).

Wonder if it'll continue in Young Ace, or the magazine it was originally running in if it's still around?

Thought this would be an interesting bit of news for Sadamoto fans.
