We do indeed intend to scan and translate the entire book; from minor to major characters, probably a few at a time, like this. So far the major characters have all gotten four pages of coverage, mostly summary of their actions over the course of the games (the Character's Report covers KH1, KH:CoM, and KH2), with a dash of extra canon insight and a nifty page on their relationships with other characters.

For once, we are providing scans. This is extremely, extremely unlikely to ever come out in English, so we figured, what the hey.

• Quote translations are provided below scans and only where (in our humble opinions) there is significant difference between the literal Japanese and the official English translation.

"Fresh Start" is the prologue of the first CoM novel. Expect all future releases to be much lengthier (about ten times longer than the prologue!) and don't hold your breath waiting! We're excited and will be working hard, but it'll take us a little while.
