Thanks a lot, manymen and Lizh.

I see. I should have written “the story isn’t finished.” And “Every volume was a bestseller.”
Still I don’t see why I can’t write it “The every volume…”.

That first sentence could also be reformatted, depending on how informal you want to be.

I would say, "Kaoru Kurimoto, the author of Guin Saga which I've written about in this blog on February 8th and April 10th, died on 26th." It's a bit of a run on sentence but passable if in an informal setting.

Everything else is perfect!
I see. You don’t say “many of the readers.” But still I don’t see why I can’t say “many of the readers”. Learning English is too difficult…

About “I’ve written about…”.
My text book says that when I mention about the date or when it happened, I can’t use a perfect form, but my text book may be incorrect again.

Thank you!


Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.

If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
