Sad day for the Lament of Innocence Mobile Manga

EDIT: Self reminder -- click.

So, we all know it was probably lost forever since no one bothered to rip it. But today, with the turning of the year, the last remnants of information about its contents disappeared from the internet caches.

I managed to print them 3 months ago, but I checked today on the caches, and the pages where I printed this info from are gone. The information lost is: IGA's involvement with the manga, and Death's role in Walter's turning into a vampire. Here are the prints.




Here is the URL (in case someone manages to locate the cached pages): http://ameblo.jp/kisf/entry-10605781224.html

Aaaaand that's it. Save these pictures. Someone post them over the Castlevania Wiki as sources, because these will disappear too sooner or later :(

EDIT: I'd like if someone could make a copy-pasteable transcript of this text, so we could search through the internet for somewhere where it's still saved.

Uploaded and preserved for history.

I also googled a specific sentence and the only result I got was the CV Wiki (from which I got the excerpt).

Too bad she doesn't sell rare items like that other guy. My duplicator broke and needs replacing. ;)

In other news, I'd always wanted to read the Mobile Manga, but now it looks like the chances of finding an english translation are now effectively destroyed. Didn't Curse of Darkness also have a manga? I recall seeing something of the sort that had Ayami Kojima's art style and began with Dracula making Hector and Isaac into Devil Forgemasters, but that might have just been a really awesomely done fanwork.
How not to be a dark lord: the answer to that is a terribly interesting answer that involves an almost Jedi-like adherence to keeping oneself under control and finding ways to be true to yourself in a way that doesn't encourage the worst parts of you to become dangerously exaggerated and instead feeds your better nature. Also, protip: don't fuck with Alchemy or strike up any deals with ancient Japanese Shinigami gods no matter how tempting the deal or how suavely dressed the Shinigami is.

Curse of Darkness has two manga, actually. One of them was actually illustrated by Ayami Kojima, though I think it was included with Japanese versions of the game (limited edition, I guess?). It was only about 15 or so pages. The other one was published by Tokyopop and was by an unrelated writer and artist, and went on for two volumes before its cancellation (with an unreleased third that was supposedly going to focus on Trevor).

As for the mobile manga, the only thing I have are translations of chapter snippets.
