hello. sorry i do not master french.
however, i used to read the yoko tsuno edition in the eighties.
anyone here likes to talk to me???
one of my questions: why the edition was never translated to japanese/english.
i do not own my edition anymore. it was in german. i do not speak it anymore. it is too difficult for me.

As I know, Yoko does exist in English. Not in Japanese, that's probably because the European comic books are not well known in Japan. It would have been extremely difficult for the publisher/the auther to develop the market.
This is only a guess, but I have a friend in Japan and according to him, even Tintin is not known.
Sopid, encore en vie!
Up to my knowledg, only 2 albums have been translated in english. Its a shame.
Titles are:
Vulcan's forge, and The three sun's of Vinéa.

as far as i have observed, japanese people are sometimes scared by pieces of foreign culture.
if the edition's get re-written into "manga" style (backwards read order), people would probably love to read them- 20 years later.
if there is a market for tokyo-pop* into europe (we have tokyo-pop here in ireland), why not for yoko tsuno in japan?
*japanese manga cartoon animation publisher
however, i asked, and actually none of them is available here. probably i could learn some french, but this is another story.
really a pity that there is no japanese edition.

The japanese market is extremely well fill up by the local material. When a market is not saturated, it's still possible to introduce new products. If the market is saturated, you have to be extremely strong in marketing to break into the market and take some parts.
Even in Europe, the European comic books have problems facing the American and the Japanese productions. So imagine the Europeans going abroad!
We had a discution about this problem. I was suggesting that the European industry of comic books should be more agressive and support their production by tv series (as USA and Jpn). I've been replyed that, not as the American or Japanese productions, the European comic books were not made for animated series. The result would be in almost any case too commercial, which would break the sens of the original product. I don't personaly agree with this theory, but it has its value.
Now, Yoko Tsuno have been introduce in the Hong Kong market. So then, probably translated in Chinese. I am now living in China (main land) and even Tintin is rare to see. I don't expect to see Yoko here.

the few japanese manga i read (english adaption) have rather a loose/crude storyboard.
means it misses a logical sequence. this becomes even more funny, as i figured out i looked at the drawings in wrong order.
however, they are sort into different categories, and a hudge "chunk" can be described as "relationship" "contains romance scenes".
i do not know, if the japanese market is saturated with sci-fi cartoons.
talking about the SG-3000 computers, let's say they are actually not available.
people think they need VR 3D all the time, and i like it too of course.
probably a few books (starting with the first one) can be rendered into japanese, and provided on CD-ROM? the risk to print a hudge stack with unknown number of interests does not exist.
and there is no obligation to make it too commercial.
just the quality even tops the good quality of today's productions (many of them black/white).
this means, people are actually missing something.
euh...là j'ai pas tout compris est-ce que quelqu'un pourrait me traduire le post de départ?!?
