Anyone have any info on this? Image of the cover, ISBN (or JPN equivalent), etc..
Going to be in ye olde Nippon in a couple of weeks, and I was going to try tracking down a copy of this to at least flip through. I don't even know what year it was published!
Full Version: Japanese SR edition?
It's old, out of print, and never quite sold well, or was popular, in Japan. Good luck finding it!
But, should you have that luck, please scan in the art so everyone can enjoy it! Not only cover, but interior art, too.

I flicked through a copy once. Okay. Some stock SR2 art, some new stuff, a couple little cartoons. Nice hardback w/dustjacket.

Is there anything SR related you haven't done? Inquiring minds want to know.
I don't own any foreign-language SR products, although I've flipped through a few at auctions. I don't have the museum-scale troll, or a full collection of the CCG. I've never met anyone who wrote SR or worked for FASA in person. I own no BABYs, and no signed copies of anything. I've yet to get a functioning copy of the fan-translated Japanese Sega Mega CD game, although I've got a couple of its music tracks. Speaking of which, I've never yet gotten around to getting all the SR songs into a single place, and I really wanted the soundtracks from the video games.
I have yet to collect all the varied Shadowrun magazine articles, and I'm still missing a few issues of Ka*Ge and Shadowland, although now I have an electronic copy of the CCG publication.
And I haven't translated the umpteen other German SR novels yet.
Incidentally, the Japanese SR book went for over $100 at auction when last I saw it.

I know. I'm sorry it is likely too late, but I haven't know about this thread until now.

Yes, I have and read it.
One of main character is a chromed troll with jet-black skin. The title is derived from him.
About a brief synopsis... my pleasure. Would you wait a day or two?

Jet Black was human, Fortune ol' buddy ol' pal. You're getting him confused with Dark Angel.
Yep, you're right. Posting at 3 AM is sometimes not conducive to remembering little pieces of trivia. 
Still ...

IIRC from the little media run about some band (can't remember for the life of me what it was called) isn't Jetblack now a vampire hiding out somewhere in Seattle with his hard core groupies/gestalt?
Hi, Fortune. Below is the brief synopsis.
It based on SNE setting Tokyo in 2050.
Kei, the central character is a teenage street girl with the talent on martial arts. Shar, her master is killed by a troll during some investigation. And she vow revenge against the troll.
But the troll, going handle by Kuhan and with jet-black skin, has his own to do. He is a Fuchi corprate-military deserter and has a control program of Power system of Tokyo. He plans to settle a metahuman haven in exchange the program. Of course, Fuchi don't let him to do...
During the chases and fights between Kei, Kuhan and his soldiers, and Fuchi company-men, Kei know she is not only a talented martial artist but also a physical adept. And now she is awaking with murderous urge.
At climax, Kuhan's plan is defeated. It is seem he lost everything, he find his final mission... to be a challenge to Kei to make her a true physical adept. Can she defeat him without drowning the hate and urge...?
Would it be useful? I am hoping so.
