Shaymin's Sky Form "Flies" Thru Customs and into Japanese Bookstores!

How exciting to go to my local Japanese book shop today and find manager Akiko-san sorting through some new arrivals!  Excitedly, she held up a brand new Shogakukan 4 panel comic book featuring...  Shaymin, Giratina, Dialga and the rest of the new movie gang!  The volume is numbered "1," so I assume it's the first in a new series of 4 panel comic books.  Hey Viz, how come we don't get these translated for the U.S. (along with Pokemon Chronicles DVDs, which were released in Europe--and shown on the 'Toon Network, I've heard...)?  I've found a few of these sorts in the Pokemon genre, used; they look very funny, short 4 panel gags.  I actually bought a CD-ROM recently to try to coax me to learn Japanese (I'm just soo tired after work-!).  The book's ISBN is 978-4-09-140636-1, if you want to try to find an importer to order it for you; it is copyright 2008 by Takahiro Yamashita.  Also on the newsstand, I found Corocoro Special for August--Shaymin's Sky Form is prominently featured on the cover and spine!  Inside you will find an awesome, large Shaymin Sky Form & Giratina calendar poster for July-Aug-Sept 2008.  WOW!  Enuff of my yapping, let the pix do the talking!
 
Pika-pi-pi-PI!!!
