Project to publish all 18 volumes of series digitally on new "eOneBook" device

The Boogiepop horror series, written by Kouhei Kadono and illustrated by Kouji Ogata, weren't the first light novels. Kaoru Kurimoto's Guin Saga and The Vampire Hunter D series by Hideyuki Kikuchi were more influential in establishing the form. But, the million-copy selling Boogiepop gets plenty of credit for igniting the modern light novel trend.  Seven Seas released the series in print in 2006, and have now brought it back in a digital edition. 

 

 

Light novel fans, we've got good news--the franchise that ignited the modern light novel craze is going digital! BOOGIEPOP AND OTHERS (light novel) Vol. 1 is now available as an ebook on the @AmazonKindle store! https://t.co/e2f8agnAfP pic.twitter.com/EyBcwsZRnj

Industrialization and the Age of Reason benefitted society in many ways, but also created an atmosphere of dehumanizing mass production. The Romantic literary movement rose up to assert the value of emotion in a modern world, and praised science as a marvel whose discoveries bounded on magic made real.

According to the box office report for the weekend of October 28-29, "Eiga Kirakira PreCure a la Mode: Paritto! Omoide no Mille-feuille" (Kirakira PreCure a la Mode The Movie: Paris and The Memorable Mille-feuille), the feature film based on the ongoing 14th PreCure TV series, earned a very good 193,101,900 yen on 170,659 admissions and became the top-grossing film of the weekend, topping the $150 million-budget Blade Runner 2049 in the second.

 

This is the second time for a PreCure feature film to make a first place debut at the Japanese box office. The only predecessor was Eiga Smile PreCure!: Ehon no Naka wa Minna Chiguhagu! (Smile PreCure! the Movie: Big Mismatch in a Picture Book!) released in October 2012 and made 192,792,900 yen from the 173,283 ticket sales in its debut weekend.

 

The first weekend gross of the Kirakira PreCure film was 119.4% of that of last fall's Eiga Mahou Tsukai

PreCure!: Kiseki no Henshin! Cure Mifurun! (Mahou Girls PreCure! the Movie: The Miraculous Transformation!

Cure Mofurun!). Judging from the impressive opening weekend result, the 23rd PreCure film is expected

to end its domestic run with around one billion yen and become one of the top-earning films in the history

of the 14-year-old franchise.

master Jean-Pierre Zylberstein, voiced by 32-year-old kabuki actor Onoe Matsuya II, will join the

episode prior to the film to reveal Ciel's past to Ichika and other members and tries to bring back

Ciel to Paris with him. Then the story will directly continue to the film.

 

The film is set to be released in Japan on October 28, 2017, accompanied with a full 3DCG short film

"Petit Dream Stars! Let's la Cooking? Showtime!" featuring the fairy characters from the recent series.
