Nice, i actually did find how to see the manga...um, liked the graphical part, couldn't reed it though

Anyway - it's good that there ARE Seikai resources out there.

Well, there are many but mostly not accessible to us.

Anyway, it takes effort and time to get them all and I haven't got them all yet. Also we lack the resources to provide some our selves. *sigh*

Now that Tokyo pop's Cots novels are out of print I wonder if they can be made available...

Then again I have my hands full, too.

Btw. here's a challenge for the able people out there:

the kaze to tanpopo source at yomban was actually an encrypted text-script. So in theory we could get the original text. Although, Yomban moved to www.comic-gekkin.com it doesn't seem to have changed.

The text is encrypted in at least two layers. The first is a simple java-script encryption. Easy to reverse. Once decrypted you will get blocks of the encrypted text-script.
The second level decryption requires the key that came with the page.
It appears the key and blocks have to be send back to the sever for decryption. It's possible something may have changed so expect some unforeseen things to overcome.

Your challenge is to decrypt the 200+ blocks of text-script.

Crap!
That sounds like a lot of work just to get it uncrypted.
Guess if you're a real it be fun to do.

Not really. The second part is just spoofing. In that sense, it's easier than the first part.
Hacking is generally easier since you deal with knowledge of a system.
Cracking and decrypting are more difficult since don't know what you are dealing with but you do know the basics.
Deciphering an unknown language is on another difficulty level. It can be easy but also as difficult as decrypting cubed.

Likewise, I have my doubts about the Rosetta Disk. The Rosetta Stone was vital because it had 1 to 1 translation with repeats of certain words and names. Hence, it was a simple replacement and comparing deciphering.
The Rosetta Disk on the other hand as I understand it explains the syntax and gramma of a language, various other information, and important speeches. The parts that are similar are minuscule, the rest being chaos. Even if some alien understands the indication he's too confuse due to the numerous direction each parts points to. Imho it's useless and misguided effort. It would be better to divide the information into different disks, hence keeping some kind of overviewable order.

If I remember right the reason why the French were able to decipher the Rosetta Stone to begin with is because it was written in both Egyptian Hieroglyphics and Greek letters.They simply used the Greek as a
means to decode the Egyptian.
