These packages will be updated with new content as they become available at no extra charge.]
[Update 17 January 2012: A translation of the light novel Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke wo – Futari no Christmas has been added to volume 1 at no additional charge. See this post for more information.]
Xenocross Volume 1 is now available for purchase. The price is 888 JPY, approximately $12 USD/€8 EUR/£7 GBP, not including currency conversion fees.
Xenocross features a manga story based on Fuguriya’s yuri doujin series Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke wo, entitled Music Box of Memories, written by Tomino Nakiyoshi and illustrated by Amano Miki (also known as Asagi Ryu).
Film director Lee Mei Ling, a graduate of St. Michael’s School For Girls, has returned to her alma mater to begin her latest film. She has selected ten familiar young women from the school–nine students and one teacher–to star in the movie. However, the director’s vision appears to be one of calamity. What does the mysterious Mei Ling have in store for the girls of Sonohana?

The Eden of Xeno website is still under construction, but it is functional enough to allow purchases. Open a reader account by clicking on the “Reader Registration” link at the top of the page. After your account is created, you will use PayPal to complete the purchase; it will show the actual price in your local currency, including currency conversion fees. If you have any problems purchasing or reading, please contact us immediately.
Additionally, each version of Xenocross will be updated with rest of the announced content as it becomes available at no additional charge. Music Box of Memories is currently only available in the English, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, and Indonesian versions. The French version of Xenocross does not contain Music Box of Memories at this time.
Additionally, the English version contains a translation of the light novel Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke wo – Futari no Christmas under the name Our Christmas Together, which is referenced in the first chapter of Music Box of Memories. Future light novel translations will be included in later volumes of Xenocross for the benefit of English readers who do not have access to the light novels. This and future Sonohana light novel translations come at no additional charge and have been authorized by Fuguriya, but they do not include any artwork.
However, due to limitations with Eden of Xeno’s book reader, the visual effect of the pages turning for this light novel is reversed. This is due to Xenocross being defined as having a right-to-left page order and the light novel reading left-to-right. The pages have been arranged so that the page order for normal left-to-right reading is correct, but the all pages view has the pages alternate.

is it selling the physical book? Do they ship internationally?
All products on Eden of Xeno are digital. There are no plans to release Xenocross in print.
Sweet I’ll be buying this before the end of the week!
Only the english version is available for sale, right? Might want to note that down. If not, the other language versions seem…… unreliable in the details. Mainly the inconsistent page numbers and etc
I find it quite amazing that you get a whole volume for 10.98 USD. Maybe I’m just really simplistic like that though.
ehm, how exactly does that look like? lossless PNG files? lossy?
im concerned about the formats bc i use linux.
They are stored as JPGs that are presented with a Flash-based reader. They can only be accessed on the site.
I bought the book but when I try to read all I get is some music and a white screen
Which titles are you having trouble with? What browser, OS, and Flash version are you using?
I bought Xenocross Volume 1 (English) – Complete Book. Every chapter in it is the same (music and blank screen). I’m using Opera, Windows 7 and has Adobe Flash Player 11.
Have you tried using other browsers?
I tried using Firefox. But nvm, I finally got it to work after reinstalling AFP
).
After reading all the books, I must say that the Hanabira one was the best. It had the best artwork, best translation and best story (I might be a bit biased on the last one though
Kinda wished I could play Hanabira 7 and 8 to get a little insight on those couples.
what about for people that don’t have a credit card? TT_TT
PayPal also accepts bank transfers as a payment source. PayPal is the only accepted payment method for Eden of Xeno, so if you are unable or unwilling to use it, I’m afraid you will not be able to purchase anything on it.
That was a great chapter! I thought Id be buying a whole volume of just the Sono Hanabira story, but a couple of the other stories were quite interesting as well – I was wondering how those other stories got into the magazine, and if in the future there will be openings for other stories as well?
Xenocross is composed of stories from professional and amateur Japanese and Taiwanese authors. The Japanese authors were asked by Eden of Xeno to lend their cooperation for Xenocross and directed by its CEO, Tomino Nakiyoshi, in their plots. The Taiwanese authors were recruited from a Chinese yuri forum and led by the same. There will also be new stories in future volumes.

A quick question, its an ebook isnt it? so i download it from the page or receive an email with the details? im rather new at this so i have a total lack of knowledge.
After your purchase it, you read it in an online reader. No downloads are necessary other than the latest version of Flash.
Ok, thanks
The EoX site needs to give you an option to turn off the damn music while you’re reading the manga. Actually, the flash manga reader application is very clunky in general.
It is planned for each title to have their own background music. All titles currently share the same music as this feature is unfinished.
The home page it is looks like not finished yet.Where I can find terms of use?T_T
I’m having the same problem as ChaozCloud, and i’ve tried updating and downloading the latest versions of adobe reader. I’ve also tried both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, both of the latest versions, and i’m just getting a blank screen and music.
Music Box of Memories is now available in Spanish.
Didn’t know there was a bilingual compilation for the series. Will have to pick that up sometime. Saves myself some money, lol.
Okay, question, what happens if I got the wrong language… How do I swap it?
You can try to contact [email protected] and explain your situation, but I cannot make any guarantees.
