Translation of Naru Taru title..
ryb
If I recall correctly HOSHI means star.. and KAGE is shadow
Can someone pinpoint to me the 2 kanjis making up NARU TARU
like their N(as per Nelson Character Dictionary)numbers..
On cover of the French manga(GLENAT) they are written in stylised(?) HI
RAGANA script..
As far as I can determine my translation is:
NARU- to bear fruit
TARU-casket
ryb..
P.S. Often Japanese names of protagonists in animes/mangas seem to have
double meaning.. and it relation to the said manga/anime series

The full title is Mukuro (Nelson #5240) naru hoshi (Nelson #2121)
tama (Nelson #2941) taru ko (Nelson #1264). Naru and taru are written
in kana.

That's the "nickname" for the series (written in the same fashion
as Glenat has it).

What?!? "Mukuro Naru Hoshi Tama Taru Ko"?? ^^;;;;
It's just "Narutaru", written in hiragana... ^^;
(and no, I don't know what it could mean... it may be some kind of
bungo stuff... "nari", "tari"... I'm not sure...)

"Mukuro Naru Hoshi Tama Taru Ko" is also what is given as complete title
in this article on EX:
<http://www.ex.org/5.3/47-manga_narutaru.html>
So I guess Mark is correct. (I simply love those abbreviations Japanese
make up. Kochikame, Karekano, Kodocha, Saruman, Pokemon, Berubara...
^__^)

And "Narutaru" is the complete title, according to Kôdansha's site:
http://www.bookclub.kodansha.co.jp/Scripts/bookclub/intro/intro.idc?id=14229

I finally got it, for the meaning of the title. It's indeed some kind
of abbreviation.
It's coming from "Mukuro Naru Hoshi Tama Taru Ko", indeed, meaning
something like "A "Corpse-Planet", and a "Sphere-Child"" ("naru" and
taru" being some bungo stuff, like I thought).
But "Narutaru" _is_ the title. The title _itself_ is an abbreviation.
About the same way as "DNA˛" is the title of Katsura's work, not
"Dokoka de Nakushita Aitsuno Aitsu...".

Thanks,ryb....
P.S. Is it usual to just put the surname of a series as GLENAT does it ? Is
GLENAT the only editor doing this or ?

It's _not_ a surname.
"Narutaru" is the title.

Which might be translated as Stars become corpses, children get all tied up,
but tama taru is not really certain...
