I knew it was coming but it still got me.

Most elegant time-skip ever. Usually, they aren't interwoven into the story itself.

I didn’t get to read it… No digital release!

Due to licensing or platform-specific content restrictions, not all books are available digitally.

I haven't seen that one before. Usually it's the other way around.

Has anyone read Kikis Delivery Service?

Years and years ago. To my knowledge the other volumes have never been translated (at least not officially). The first book has the plot of the movie, so the other volumes would be new content.

Looks like only volume 1 was translated to English. I will stick the French or Japanese ones through machine translate when I get round to reading them.

The first book has the plot of the movie, so the other volumes would be new content.

Looking though the reviews the film is not a very true depiction of the book, so it may be all new content.
