Title: Juuni Kokuki / (The) Twelve Kingdoms
Author: Ono Fuyumi
Illustrator: Akihiro Yamada
Genres: Action, Adventure, Drama, Fantasy
Translation: Eugene Woodbury (1, 3-9), Worlds in Translation (2)
For high-schooler Yoko Nakajima, life has been fairly ordinary–that is until Keiki, a young man with golden hair, tells Yoko they must return to their kingdom. Once confronted by this mysterious being and whisked away to an unearthly realm, Yoko is left with only a magical sword; a gem; and a million questions about her destiny, the world she’s trapped in, and the world she desperately wants to return to.
If you had my (very) old torrent, delete it and re-dl this from scratch, since nothing will match/recheck. The epubs for Eugene Woodbury’s translations are as-is from his website.

Thank you so much!

Thanks for this, but I do think leaving out Complete would be the better choice unless the author has passed away or it has been officially cancelled.

I’d wish they animate this story fully someday. Current anime series are wonderful but unfinished :(

Hard to fully animate that which is not actually complete. I was so surprised when volume 9 was released after so long.

Oh, is Eugene finally caught up? I was procrastinating on that because I didn’t know how long he’d take. Thanks. He mentioned that his Google Docs contains numerous typo fixes, etc. that aren’t reflected in the web version, so I’m wondering if he implemented those in his epub downloads too.

The epubs contain a “last updated:” disclaimer at the beginning and most of them are recently updated so I assume thats the case

thanks, and I agree “Complete” is inaccurate, but where did you guys get the “hiatus” idea from ? is searched for “Twelve Kingdoms hiatus” and found nothing, the author also is still alive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuyumi_Ono, just because it takes many years between volumes does not mean it’s on hiatus, as I see it this is still Ongoing.

I will update the title later then
I’m pretty sure this translation is from the 16-volumes edition, as i said some of these books are divided in volumes but the translator made a single ebook off of them (e.g. Hakugin no Oka is 4 volumes)
