We got our comps of Amazing Agent Luna V. 5 today.  We're very happy with how it (the volume, and the series as a whole) came out.

This is the last volume of AAL.  Which is very sad.

Or at least, it's the last volume for the time being.  Jason DeAngelis, publisher at Seven Seas is pretty upfront about calling Luna one of the company's flagship titles, and he has a strong desire to bring it back someday.  And we'd love to do more with Luna and the gang.  And we think Shiei would be onboard - though we haven't talked to her about it in a while.

So, there may be a future for Luna.   However, Original English Language manga is not a supreme moneymaker, and the drop-off from one volume to the next (moreso on other titles, but also to some extent with Luna) makes it hard to keep a series running for too long.

So, it's all very up in the air.

And that's how we wrote the finale.

It ends, but it shakes up the status quo, and ultimately has an epilogue setting up a new beginning.

I know some fans will want (and we've heard from at least one saying as much) more closure.

But closure would mean Luna was over, and I'm not ready for that just yet.  If you read Luna, Volume 5 will have closure at the end of Chapter 26.  While some elements transform in that chapter, if the series ended there, it would end relatively cleanly.  The epilogue, Chapter 27, that's a whole other thing.  That's more Beginning than End, and that's by design.

So, if you're looking for a big finish, when you hit Chapter 26's end, consider the series over.  Then, if you so desire, take a peek at 27 and see what the book MAY look like IF it returns.

Fair enough?

For now, I will be content to know that Christina and I have created a book that captures our love of ninja, teen drama, and Buffy all in one place, without veering too far into just aping what we'd seen before.  It is a book we are both incredibly proud of, maybe more than anything else we've done.

If you checked it out, we hope you enjoyed Luna's first year at Nobel High, and that you send Seven Seas a little mail once in a while asking for more Luna.

If you like our other work, please pick up Luna.  She's at Amazon, and we're so proud of our little girl that we absolutely know you'll love her.  If nothing else, Shiei is a fantastically talented artist whose work needs to be seen by as many people as possible.

Thanks for a great school year, Luna.  Have a good summer, and we hope to see you soon.
