All about Kaori Yuki

Today I'm here to serve some belated news... Indeed, Angel Sanctuary ~ Tokyo Chronos volume 3 is out since August, 20 in Japan, featuring our dear, handsome Raphael on the cover (EAN 9784592212935). In this edition by Hakusensha, there are four colour spreads at the beginning of the book, featuring title pages selected amongst the six chapters included.

Started in April 2022, Tokyo Chronos counts 21 chapters so far in Japan, the latest one was pre-published on September, 19 in Hana Yume Ai #71. On their site, click on the orange button to open the preview. ^^

It is interesting to notice that in Germany, a new edition of Angel Sanctuary in 10 double volumes has begun at Carlsen Manga, belonging to their 'Pearls' collection, with high quality paper and cover, and four colour spreads (featuring title pages) all this for €12. Size is 12.8 x 18 cm. Overall it's an edition based upon the Japanese aizouban edition from 2022, whether we talk about size or content (colour pages, new postscript, black & white gallery at the end)... excepted for the volume 1 cover for now, different. Let's see:

• Volume 1 was published last year on November 23, 2023 (978-3-551-80006-0, see preview here).
• Volume 5 is scheduled on November 26, 2024 (978-3-551-80010-7).
• Volume 6 on February 25, 2025 (978-3-551-80210-1).

Today, a summary of the recent releases related to Kaori Yuki.

• Angel Sanctuary - Tokyo Chronos volume 2: out on the 19th January 2024 in Japan (one year after the volume 1). ISBN: 9784592212928.
• Angel Sanctuary - Tokyo Chronos chapter 15 (the most recent): prepublised online on the 19^th January 2024.
• Beauty and the Beast of Paradise Lost: in France, the 5^th and last volume was released on the 29^th November 2023.

I've updated the AS-TC gallery with the colour illustrations found at the beginning of the volumes 1 & 2 (4 per book, see below), these are title pages of the chapters prepublished in the online magazine Hana Yume Ai.

I wish to all of you a very happy new year!! Yes, I am still here... boo! Let's start the year with pretty stuff. ^^ I created two wallpapers sized at 1920x1080 pixels and 1920x1200 px based upon the current series of our dear Yuki sensei: Angel Sanctuary ~ Tokyo Chronos. Ever since I discovered the AI image creator of Bing last year, I play like a little kid, generating anything and everything, so I thought I could as well use some of the AI-made pictures to make something bigger and useful, and tadaa here we go!

I also changed the website playlist, I did not take the time to look into it since 2012... You can listen to it here!
I'll come back soon with information about Kaori Yuki's latest mangas releases (the brand new picture of Michael comes from her very latest release in Japan ^^).

Find the 1920x1080 version directly on my fanwork page.

A beautiful year 2023 to all of you, dear readers of Yuki sensei! The year begins with good news from the French publisher Pika: La Belle et la Bête du Paradis Perdu will be released in France starting from April 5, 2023. Apparently, the title used by Pika will be the same as the one in the English translation: Beauty and the Beast of Paradise Lost (Kodansha's will?).

There is no glimpse in French yet. In English, chapter 1 is readable here.
Volume 1 ISBN: 9782811672591. Soft cover sold for €7.20 and digital for €4.49, collection "Purple Shine" by Pika. The series is complete in Japan with 5 volumes.

The other updates and major fixes, in no order: the TV show video made in 2014 about Kaori Yuki works anew (I even added English subtitles), 6 more world covers (German, Spanish, Polish and Japanese), bibliography of 2022, merge of the Angel Sanctuary gallery with the one of Tokyo Chronos.

It has been such a long time since I last updated correctly this site... You can put the blame upon my IRL projects and change of job. ;) Meanwhile Kaori Yuki sensei and her publishers remained busy. Now let's see, where to start from?

Beauty and the Beast of Paradise Lost: The fifth and last volume is available since March 11, 2022 in Japan (9784065267813). It is soon available in English by Kodansha, on the 27th of December (9781646514007). No news about a French release yet.

Angel Sanctuary: Kaori Yuki came back to her previous publisher Hakusensha, writing a sequel to this series since April 19, 2022 named Tokyo Chronos. 5 chapters have been released so far online in the webzine "Hana Yume Ai". Volume 1 will be out on the 20th January 2023! (9784592212911)

Hence I created a new page presenting the series, where the story takes place after the events of Angel Sanctuary. Heroes of Tokyo Chronos are new characters evolving in the same Tokyo, the same universe with serious atmosphere, and we even meet our beloved angels. As a reminder, please have in mind that Kaori Yuki works on computer since 2019 to create mangas, her colorizations are thus very different from the original series.
In parallel, Hakusensha launched a new edition of Angel Sanctuary: the aizoban in 10 volumes (B6-sized with colour), scheduled between September 2022 and January 2023, as well as the release of various collector products (more here - French only).

Also I have some gifts for you, patient and faithful fans of Yuki sensei: on the scanlations page, I added raws that sensei drew about her stay at the hospital (beginning of 2021), and above all a French (scusa!) scanlation of a short oneshot made in February 2019 about Beauty and the Beast, made to train in digital screentoning, way before the beginning of her manga on the same subject → GO GO GO!

Lastly, I went through some thankless tasks like fixing bugs and broken links of the site... such as the sidetalks of Angel Sanctuary and Grand Guignol Orchestra, the music player, or links to pictures here and there. I still have much to add, no doubt about it, but I can't tell when I'll have time for more updates. That's all folks!

Many thanx to those who keep me up to date with Yuki's activities lately! Quickly: a brand new chapter of Angel Sanctuary has been published online in April, titled 天使禁猟区 -東京クロノス- (Angel Sanctuary - Tokyo Chronos).

Being currently veeeeery busy, I can't tell you more about it right now. But don't worry I'll be back this summer!

Hello,

Finally I'm here today with the latest news about the current series of Kaori Yuki, with many dates to give! La Belle et la Bête du Paradis Perdu hence finished in Japan on October 29 with the final chapter prepublished on the Japanese app Palcy.

The release dates in Japan and abroad:

• Japan: volume 4, 13th September 2021 (ISBN 9784065247907).
• USA: volume 1, 17th August 2021 (9781646512508) Beauty and the Beast of Paradise Lost.
• USA: volume 2, 23rd November 2021 (9781646512935).
• USA: volume 3 to be released on the 21st December 2021 (9781646512942).
• Germany: volume 1, 28th September 2021 (9783551795977) Belle und das Biest im verlorenen Paradies.
• Germany: volume 2 to be released on the 28th December 2021 (9783551795984).

In the meantime, Kaori Yuki is not totally cured, she had to go back to the hospital in the beginning of November. Let us wish to her a lot of courage to face her frail health. By the way, you can support her with a few words (in English or in Japanese) on her Twitter.

One month ago, on the 18th February 2021, Kodansha informed their readers through Palcy's Twitter that Kaori Yuki needed to take a break to care for her health, after a sudden degradation at the end of 2020. The publisher cautiously announced that her ongoing manga might resume around summer 2021.

Right now while I'm writing these lines, Kaori Yuki is in a rehabilitation hospital since the beginning of February in order to recover her motor skills. She walks with a cane, trains her drawing and colorizing skills and the daily tasks movements.

She keeps us up to date on Twitter since the 10th January 2021 (tweet), most likely after she went out of the intensive care unit.
