Release date 28th June, 800 yen

Sora, Riku, I would like the two of you to take the Mark of Master Exam.

"Now, Sora and Riku's Mark of Mastery exam shall hereby commence."

Master Xehanort has revived!

Their two journeys to bring peace to the world just barely over, Sora and Riku have received news from Yen Sid regarding a new threat drawing near.

In order to face this new world crisis, Sora and Riku must face the Mark of Mastery Exam.

For this the must go to the 'Realm of Sleep', release the seven Keyholes of Sleep, and gain a new power.

Why cant the U.S still produce these?

I saw '¥800' and nearly fainted before I realised that isn't much at all and read the next bit. Anyway, awesome... If we get a translation.

Meh, I'm sure there'll be translations. It just sucks NA won't get it.

wait .. a novel?

Wha?

This is where Oishii comes in.

Meh, it`s not like the novels are particularly good to begin with. Plus they confuse people about what`s canon.

who wants to bet it wont come out anywhere else but Japan? ugh

I wish they would make this English, and sell it in NA

Can't wait for Riku's side to release. 83

 

I'd so buy these if they were in English. They'd be a perfect addition to my collection! *grabby hands* =A=

Wow, they already have a novel in the making for 3D.

Is it a Novel or Manga?

Is it a Novel or Manga?
