Does anyone know if the novel will ever be completely - up to current volume (11) that is - translated into English? (preferably in hard-copy novel form as opposed to digital download).

The first volume is no longer available ('new'), most stores only have volume 2 and 4... some (rarely so) still have the 3rd volume... So if anyone knows of an online-store (with reasonable international shipping rates) that still has them in 'new' condition, please let me know.

TokyoPop.de doesn't seem to have anything Twelve Kingdoms related, and TokyoPop.com (stupid facebook page) is useless and/or broken.
