Does anyone remember this Korean manga that Tokyo pop let out. I think they should try to bring it back now that there's a bigger audience..;_; I bought all the volumes that came out and I need more. Does anyone remember this one at all?

Oh, I remember it. I've never actually read it though. It looked pretty interesting.

Oh yeah...I remember I.N.V.U....apparently the artist never finished it...or so I was told a couple years back by TokyoPop ^^;; It's very sad, cause I liked that manga :(

It only lasted 3 volumes. :(

I have a lot of customers asking on a regular basis if it will continue. I wish I could tell them yes. I'd have loved to have seen INVU all the way through myself.

I thought they were making more...

It was so good! The story was great. I think they should try to bring it back.

Ok I understand. I wonder if it was discontinued before Tokyopop took on the rights. I can't imagine they would. That's interesting.

I liked it, I really wish they would bring it back. My friend randomly asks if the 4th volume is out and I check and tell her it's not...and she doesn't even really like anime/manga, and to get her into that was an amazing accomplishment lol.

I think it what happened was somehow the original publisher of I.N.V.U. lost her manuscripts or something. I think it was supposed to end at 4 too.. ^^;;;

I have honestly anticipated for a 4th volume soon for a year now...maybe even longer. It was a really good manga and I really wish it would be finished soon. I hope they do decide to continue it, even if it ends up as a rushed ending. ^^;;

I've been waiting for over 3 years now, and I don't think the odds look too good. Ever hear of Naoko Takeuchi's "PQ Angels"? The original publisher lost her manuscript for that one too, and it's never been finished. :(

Ah yes I don't think they're going to continue this manhwa... but I don't think the problem is with Tokyopop....

I really liked this series and kept hoping they'd continue it but it's been a while now and have given up hope on it.:(

No they aren't going to come out with the last book, i really wanted to know how it was going to end. I loved it, and the title was great.
INVU means " I envy you "
i finally got it in the second book!

Last thing we heard was that the author IS continuing it. She wanted to finish working on Queen's Knight first, which she has completed, and then she was going to go back to I.N.V.U. Whether this actually comes to pass remains to be seen.

Aw I read one volume that I found out the library and I liked it but i never found the second volume there, only in stores. But I checked out the third one ('cause they have that one wth) and I started to read it but then stopped 'cause I was confused :\
I liked it though o-o I like the titled XD invu. i envy you. hahah. it took me a minute to get that when I first check that out.

but queen's knight is sooooo long...hopefully she does i'd love to know the ending

Well at least we have Queen's Knight is also really good, so we have at least one thing to read by her while we wait for INVU to get finished. :)

Yeah I remember. I remember reading vol 3 and then waiting for vol 4 to come out . . . . I'm still waiting . . .


I really loved this series and vol 3 left me hangin:}

I own all of I.N.V.U's volumes and I'm hope the author continues it because I let all of my friends read it and now they are going to hunt me down if the next one dosen't come out soon.

Eh, I heard from someone that volume four was out in Japan a year ago, but something's wrong with TP. That's just a rumor, though, so I wouldn't trust it that much...

The first thing that grabbed me about this manga is the title and the coverpage. Both are ingenious and very cool. I do hope the fourth volume is coming soon...

^-^ I've read it. I think that the author stopped writing and that is why there is no number four. ;_; I really wanted to see what happened next.

I remember I.N.V.U..-It was the only manga that my school had in the library-I really liked it-I wonder why they discontinued it?

I.N.V.U. Is a great story. I heard that Kim Kang Won was going to work on the fourth book!!:D Finally, I've been waiting so Lllllloonnnnnggg!!!:mad: Did anyone know that this was the first manwha to be published in english... or was that a rumor?

i love the manga!!! when i saw that there is no 4th manga, i was so dissappointed. i decided not to get the series. which is sad because thats what got me into manga.

It's a great series! I love the title, I didn't realize it until someone asked me on the phone what I was reading one day. I felt kind of silly for not realizing it sooner...^-^'' I thought the author was going to finish her other series before she continues this one, or something like that. I hope she finishes it!

Velvy

I was just re-reading this series yesterday, and she left it on such a cliff hanger! She creates all these potential couples and it's always going, going, but never reaches it's climax, not to mention all that added biz about the mafia, the modeling agency, all these little subplots, and none of them are resolved!

This manga REALLY deserves resolution, because it's gone too far to give up now. I mean, with manga like Under the Glass Moon, it didn't take off far enough to reach any conclusion, but this is TOTALLY different! Siho Lee and Sey are SO close to hooking up! What's going to happen with Hali Kang and Hajun Cho? And isn't Rea an AWESOME character?? More of her!

The wait for a final volume has been so long already. I hope the author realizes that the manga series she created really did reach out to an audience, and it did captivate people, and that we DO want a final volume.

i heard the author is still working on the series, so thats why its taking so long. at least thats what tokyopop told me when i e-mailed them about 2 years ago -.-;

As time goes by I'm thinking that the series will never be finished. T-T It makes me really sad/mad that such a great manga is left hanging at the ultimate cliff hanger!

Nah, actually the artist took a break to finish Queen's Knight and hinted that she'd return to INVU after that project.

The manwha that got discontinued was Under the Glass Moon - unfortunately, my favorite graphic novel series. :(

Hey, does anyone have an update? Is the book still going to be continued after Kim Kang Won finishes Queen's Knight?

Well, the korean version of vol04 was apparently published in August 2006 and a vol05 is in production. The following cover-image was linked on the german Tokyopop boards:

http://image.libro.co.kr/book_img/7950/0060001165726_00.jpg

Tokyopop Germany also announced a publication date of June 2007 for the german version of vol04 in one of their newsletters last fall. This cover-image may not be final:

http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/1591821754.01._SS500_SCLZZZZZZZ_V1074210659_.jpg

The english version of vol04 seems to be scheduled for September 2007, as per this comment (http://www.animeondvd.com/forum/showpost.php?post/318920/) on the AnimeOnDVD boards.

There's also a thread about this in the Ask the Editors forum here, which I keep updated.

Yep. Didn't see that one (http://messageboard.tokyopop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1074). A forum search only turned up older threads since a term with multiple dots like "I.N.V.U." is pretty "unsearchable"... ^^;

O.O YES!!!! <(' '<) <(' ')> (>' ')> I almost give up hope that it would ever come out.

I was starting to give up hope too. I kept wondering "when's vol. 4 gonna be out? Is there even a 4?" I'm glad that it didn't drop off the face of the earth.

Amazon has Vol 4 available for pre-order, and it indeed says Sept 07... I might just get the German copy, tho, if I can (since I can speak German). :D

Now we just need some news about Under the Glass Moon, and I'll finally be content.

It's been around 5 or 4 years since the 3rd volume came out. Apparently, the 4th and last volume is finished, but how come Tokyopop still hasn't released it? It's kind of annoying that they haven't finished a good series after so long.

On that thought, who else reads it?

EDIT: It seems it might come out in September this year! :O

Now that bnook 4 is released, does anyone know if tokyopop is going to release book 5? it's still not the end!!

I don't think it's come out in Korea yet, so not before then.
