So, which are the two Fuji Summer A and Winter are near? —Quasirandom (talk) 18:16, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Winter's group went to Akan Fuji in Hokkaido (ja:阿寒富士). The manga didn't say which one Summer A went to at first, but I think Summer B went to Bungo Fuji, Mt. Yufudake in Ooite (ja:由布岳), first.Imnowei (talk) 01:29, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, that's correct about Akan and Bungo. —Quasirandom (talk) 02:42, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Copyediting

I'll be helping to copyedit this article. Some other people might too. I am not familiar with this specific series, so if I delete something by mistake, please tell me. Thanks! --Tohru Honda13^{Sign me!} 01:22, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Publication details

I've filled in the publication info as far as I can -- in particular, chapters past volume 4 are out of my ken, as is entering the original kanji. I took the publication dates for the volumes from amazon.co.jp, which is generally accurate but because it's a commercial site cannot be cited as a reliable source; if someone can dig up a page that has dates on Shogakukan's site, that'd be perfect. —Quasirandom (talk) 20:41, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Ah! -- found 'em. I'll add those sources in a bit. —Quasirandom (talk) 21:33, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, I've filled the kanji and kanas in for the first 14 volumes (and tried to translate the last few chapters, but don't know how to really translate them since they are all in imperfect tense). Hope this helps. Imnowei (talk) 06:24, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Exellent. That's most helpful. (So after the chapter of works of classical music, we get a bunch of science fiction and fantasy novels. Huh.) —Quasirandom (talk) 14:30, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

(I'd identify that "Nomad Tribes" as probably In the Steppes of Central Asia, except the ja.wiki article on it is most definitely under another name. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:50, 11 February 2009 (UTC))

I believe 流浪の民 is referring to Zigeunerleben by Robert Schumann, which is what came up for the first few links when I searched "流浪の民" in Google. Amazon describes it as Schumann's op.29-3. ja:ロベルト・シューマン also has the name 流浪の民 for op.29-3. Imnowei (talk) 06:34, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

And "Nomad Tribes" is a reasonable translation of "Gypsy Life", though not exactly perfect. Hmm. You may be right about that. —Quasirandom (talk) 15:30, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Listing of species

Since I was the one who tagged that passage for converting to prose, I should probably explain myself. Wikipedia's manual of style frowns on inset lists such as this; see WP:LIST for details, but aside from navigational lists linking to other articles and websites, and material that is self-organized as a list (such as publications in a series), it is generally held that it's better to present this material in prose. (The only generally allowed exception is characters in a work of fiction.)

I think I know how to do this with the species, but I don't know enough to do it all myself. The basic idea is, instead of slicing by type of organism, slice by region—that is, describe the changes (in both species and climate/eocsystem) experienced by each group. So we'd get a paragraph-or-so describing Kyushu, another for Kobe region, Kanto, Hokkaido, and so on. In addition to more closely adhering to formatting guidelines, this has the advantage of being easier to cast in out-of-universe language and making it more obvious out to source material to the work.

But I don't think I can do this alone. Anyone up for helping me out here? Starting with, either here or in the article, regrouping the lists by group/region. —Quasirandom (talk) 17:38, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Interview

Anyone who reads Japanese up for mining this interview with Tamura published in flowers for Useful Stuff^TM? Info about origins/inspirations/creative process is especially desirable. —Quasirandom (talk) 21:24, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

It seems no one else has done this so I guess I'll reply to your post once again. I hope this helps.

In Q1, when asked how was the concept conceived, Tamura said that she had a survival story in mind at first, then after she had done the intro, she thought if something were to happen, who will be protected and who will be left behind, who will we spend our time with and who will bring us happiness...the exact cause may vary but this is basically how it all started.

In Q3, when asked that since the story is unique in having two protagonists, Natsu and Hana (according to author's note in volume 2), which one resembles the author more, she responded that it's Natsu, then she mentioned that she'd always thought about what she could do if she were to live in a world devastated by some kind of catastrophe.

Q7, which has been asked the most by fans, was whether she has thought of an ending scenario yet. To this question Tamura answered that she doesn't know when it'll end, but has an idea of where it will end, but may change her mind later (I'm not 100% sure about this). She also joked about having arcs about foreign survivors.

Questions after Q7 refer to Basara and other works done by Tamura, as well as general questions like "who was your favorite character", "what have you been listening/watching lately", etc.

Sorry if I've made any mistakes and please correct me if I'm wrong.Imnowei (talk) 01:08, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Coolness. Thankee. That's got some good info in there. —Quasirandom (talk) 02:41, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Last bit of species info

Given all the rest of the setting section has been prosified, these last few bullets look darned odd. So I'm moving them here, to be worked into the section as we can:

• Dogs, which that hunt dinosaurs in packs.
• Monkeys, which live in trees and forest areas.
• Flower (hana) tree, which grows near one of the Fujis.
• Blue Mucus, which was accidentally touched by Hana of the Spring group, and infected her hand with a skin disease. Every animal or plant that gets this disease would eventually die. The available cure is by using high concentrated salt or salt water. Blue Mucus usually pops up during first rainy season and disappears quietly by sea water or salt water until the next rainy season.

The last one, certainly, has a place in the paragraph on the Kanto region, but I haven't yet figured out how to rework it. —Quasirandom (talk) 00:34, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Formatting the volumes

The current version of the fr.wiki article has an interesting way of handling the volume/chapter/part disjoint. It won't work with our current templates and I don't see how to easily work in ISBNs and pub dates, but it's a creative solution. —Quasirandom (talk) 17:57, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
