LOL - of coure I figured out how to post my own thread, only AFTER I frantically replied to someone else's thread for help! But here it is again, now in its own legitimacy:
My fiancee LOVES The Sea Prince and the Fire Child, and told me the anime movie was actually originally a book. I am on the hunt for this book as a wedding present to him (we're getting married in February next year). I've done my research, and have come up with only this: the original story is called "Shiriusu no Densetsu" by Shintaro Tsuji - he founded the Sanrio co., and was the producer for the Sea Prince/Fire Child anime (which was distributed by Sanrio).
I have been searching off-and-on for about 4 or 5 years now (we'll have been together for 9 when we get married), and this book--if it even exists?--has been the one gift that has always eluded me. Birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas's have all come and gone, and the closest I've ever come to getting him this is the VHS cartoon feature from a comic-convention. I am in the process of trying to procure the DVD release that is out ... but this book would just be perfect.
What I need help with, is if anyone can tell me if this book even truly exists?! If I'm pulling my hair out for nothing, somebody please stop me. If I'm just not looking in the right place, somebody please re-direct me. Was he mis-informed? IS there truly a book based on the story The Sea Prince and the Fire Child? And if so, where oh WHERE can I find it?!
PLEEEEAAAASE ... somebody help me!!!!!
