  Yes, it's a good series.
  I've heard of it, but it's a little too dark for my taste...

Lumen Lunae is the as-of-now uncompleted dark BL fantasy manga by Minko Ohkami, better known in the states as the author of Dragon Knights. It has a liscenced release in Germany, but has yet to be brought to America. Has anybody else here read this fantastic story? I've recently had my passion for it re-ignited when it was brought to my attention that Mineko Ohkami would be completing the series now that she's finished Dragon Knights. Which would be awesome, especially with how much her art has improved.

Now away from impartial info giving and on to actual fangirlish discussion in hopes that someone will know what I'm talking about. domokun
My favorite couple in this series is definitely Sakumo/Kikuitadaki. Or maybe it's the other way around, given the behaviour of Kikuitadaki's other half! (Naaw... Sakumo would make a cute uke...) I have only the utmost sympathy for the place they've gotten stuck in... Kaiga is so cruel... *loves the angst*
I really don't care all that much about the main character, Kai, though! He's sorta lame. Though his seme, Hisanagi, is awesometastical.

I read a good chunk of Lumen Lunae several years ago - nice to know it'll be continued. Also nice to know the DK is actually finished. Maybe I'll finally pick up the rest of it since I was leery of the series just puttering along forever.

Yup, DK finally finished up with a grand total of twenty-six volumes. There's talk of her doing a sequel after she's finished Lumen Lunae, too... She left a lot of loose ends hanging around. *COUGHnohiroCOUGH*

I managed to find translations for 1-3 and about halfway through 4 of Lumen Lunae.

I only made it to v. 13 of DK... Except Nohiro was one of my favourite characters and augh... I tend to read and re-read v.6 for the fluffy Nohiro and Rune bits. ^_^

I'm not sure that I had more than translations for the first volume of Lumen Lunae. I'll have to dig around on the hard drive to see if it's still there or if it got lost (since it would have been two computers ago?)...

Thank you for the info!!
