Hey, they're making a mobile phone based manga for Lament of Innocence.
http://www.konami.jp/mobile/w573/comic_dracula.html
Like so many Castlevania goodies these days, I doubt we'll ever see this in English, but who knows?
They have new character art up for each of the characters. Of special note, it looks like they have a picture of Rinaldo's daughter on the web site in human and vampire form. I'll have to find out what her name is.
-
That's pretty neat. They need to make more stuff like this. One of yous gotta translate for the rest of us! :P
-
I'm wondering who that girl next to Rinaldo is. I'm assuming she's his daughter or wife, but there's no actual arrow pointing to him. I also notice that the arrow is pointing to Walter, not from him, so I wonder what the connection is and what it is saying. Maybe it's someone completely new? (the vampire girl is almost definitely Rinaldo's daughter). Her name looks to me to be basically "Lisa", so that's confusing why they would use that name for this person.
Also of note, we get to see what the Crimson and Ebony stones look like now :)

I'm lead to believe that when you follow Rinaldo's green arrow, the picture under Walter is his daughter.
I have no idea who the girl besides him is. Perhaps a "new" character. Kinda like how the Pachi-slot has Angela.

Ummm...

Why should Japan have always that kind of fun for her shelf? What about the rest of the world?
Aside from that, this is looking preaty cool!!

That is a really good find. I didn't know that page existed.
The LoI cell phone manga is old though. I don't remember the date exactly, but it's been a few years. I was never able to get the full manga, just the preview pages. I wish I could find the full manga though, especially now since that page makes it look a lot more indepth than I thought it would be.
I wonder why they created a relationship page for something that wasn't going on anymore?
-
I found the page by following a banner ad that had LoI art I hadn't seen before on the Castlevania radio drama site. Then I dug around the konami weekly site with the help of Google Translate until I found something about Castlevania. The link I followed was a news page that announced that they added a correlation chart to it's page in January of 2008. If you know where I can find any more information or images about this manga, please post it.

That is a new manga, downpage says 2009 ;)
-
The bottom of the page says 2009, but I think that's the date for the web page in general.

The two question marks are probably Death and Mathias again, since his other picture doesn't actually show him.
I don't know when the cell phone manga debuted, but the preview pages I have are from February 2007.

Wow, I really like that artwork for some reason. Leon looks just...bitter.

Doesn't anyone here have the skill to translate all of that?

Mr. P now has a page for this manga. It sounds like it had a pretty good run of 2 seasons and gave the background of many things in LoI I know I've wanted to know more about, such as the origin of Walter and Joachim's turning. It also says a little bit about who the new female character is (Liza), and says that Walter killed her fiance (though that's almost a given). Finally, we have a name for Rinaldo's daughter (Justine) and how she is connected with the Succubus.

That Leon looks more like a Kennedy than a Belmont. :P

I've been wondering about who this Liza character might be. She seems to be a female warrior whose husband was vampirized by Walter. Perhaps she was Joachim's wife?? Na, there would have probably have been an arrow from her to Joachim in the diagram if that was the case (unless it was a big secret), but it would be kind of cool.
It's kind of odd that Iga went through such pains to show why a female warrior like Sonia wouldn't work over a thousand years ago, but here's Liza. I wonder what type of fighting style she uses, if she is indeed a warrior.
I wonder if she might be set up to become Leon's next love interest though. He obviously didn't continue his line through Sarah, so he had to have found someone else. Since no one else is around (unless Walter's daughter survived and became unvampirized), the only place to look is Liza (or some character we don't know about, but what fun is that?). It strikes me as kind of romantic, actually, two people who lost their loved ones in a horrible way turning to each other. Because of her experience with Walter, I could almost see Sarah as accepting her.
If anyone knows any more details about her character, I would love to hear about it.

i can't wait for this to come out! i loved the game :D
-
unfortunately, there've been no hints that this might come out outside of Japan. but you never know.
-
Still waiting for the translation. :(
Can anyone around here by chance fluently translate Japanese to English?
-
Damn that artwork is beautiful, very nice stuff.

Does anyone even have the full thing? I've only seen a couple pages.

I nobody who got it but he says he can't get it off his phone and upload it since its a special format or something. It has sound effects among other things which make uploading difficult. This manga is really hard to get a hold on if you don't live in Japan.
