      • Hey I agree with RandomGuy. I would love to see an english translation of those books...well of Kabuto and W any way. They can leave OOO's and Kuuga alone lol. I don't really care for those particular shows.

    • I can gurantee that there will NOT be an official english translation. Just pray that some fan will be willing to give us plot summaries or full translations.

      • Ah man. And I was hopin to read some great adventures for W and Kabuto. Ah well. Maybe further down the line once the books are popular enough someone will do an english translation. Like Tokyopop. You hear that Tokyopop? Get to work on it. Lol.

    Expect everyone to die pathetically and be thrown into water to drown pathetically as the characters avoid each others questions and beat around the bush.
