Good lord, you’d better have a good excuse for this….
Contrary to popular belief, I don’t have a good excuse for this! Oh, wait, YES I DO – I BLAME FINALS. Well, Melly blames finals. Hey, there’s no way in hell I’d release something this big (and yes, it’s BIG) without getting it QC’d first!
Anyway, I know there are a few people out there who have been looking forward to this release (and some very openly dreading it…) but I’d like to give everyone a fair warning before they download this: This is a mature Slayers title, more in-line with the darkness of the original novels; there’s extremely graphic violence, swearing (at Melly’s behest, of course – “Luke seems like he’d have a dirty mouth!”), and implied sexual situations of the non-con sort later on in the book. AND YES, THERE’S T&A, GEEZE, GET OVER IT ALREADY. That said, it’s one of the better things we’ve seen come from the recent boom in Slayers material lately (both in terms of art and story), PLUS Luke and Millena, so if you think you’re up for it, then download at will!

That said, this series is incredibly visually intense, so we really do need editors so that we can continue on with the next chapters in a timely fashion. The editor test over on our recruitment page uses pages from chapters 2, 3, and 4 as the basis for the test, so please give it a shot if you have the time.
And on that note, expect another release later tonight! It’s not Slayers related though, sorry guys. )= Oops, I lied. Make that sometime tomorrow morning, or something. xP

JUst the Summaries. Though you CAN find a decently translated book 9 if you look hard enough

summaries in terms of reading as if a book or seperate paged translations with breif details?

Oops! Sorry, I didn’t see your comment. ^^; Falces is one volume long, at four chapters.
You’re not alone. Most people haven’t read volumes nine through fifteen for the fact that there are no translations available for it, just summaries. (And for that, just do a Google search for slayers novel summaries, or something.)
