- I loved the movie! I can't wait for the novel. This is why I searched the net, to find out if it was translated yet. Thank you Andrew Driver, looking forward to it!

- Andrew, I'm so grateful you are translating Paprika. I must know the whole story! I think it's the best anime story I've seen, it is so human. It met the needs of many subconscious dreams. I dreamt a story once too (a whole different story I dreamed about quite clearly years ago), and I am all the more encouraged by the part of the story represented in the movie to continue to write it, seeing how the feeling were relayed in the scenes, how subtle and powerful. I can't wait to know the forward and backwards of an already fantastic story. Thank you for your work and to anyone involved in making it happen. I anticipate the release of the novel with great excitement!

- Hi, I have seen the movie, and thought that it was excellent. Imagine my surprise when I found a copy of the book that it was based on. I'm working on a translation of the books as well, it's slow going, but expect no publishing to happen.

- Hi there, I just saw the movie and wow, was it great! I so want to read the original novel, if only in hopes of making some parts of the movie clearer (ha ha, maybe I'm not too smart but I was confused alot, even if I enjoyed it alot too). Good luck with the translation, sensei!

- Hi, I'm the translator of "Salmonella Men on Planet Porno", and I'm delighted to see that you're adding your voice to the growing groundswell of interest in Yasutaka Tsutsui! You might be interested to know that I'm now working on an English translation of "Paprika" (the novel) - it'll be out next year. Best wishes!
