Ryukishi 07 Sakuracon Panel Summary (Simultaneous JP/EN Ciconia release!)

So the awesome 07th network on twitter (and a couple others) are liveblogging the Ryukishi panel. Pictures were apparently allowed, but no recording, so there's no video of the event. There are a couple who have said they'll upload pics later. The Q&A started immediately after he announced the simultaneous released for Ciconia.

Also Mangagamer gave a pretty big infodump here right after the panel. A lot of it is what was covered below, with the exception of the summary:

In Ciconia When They Cry, World War 3 has come and gone, with nuclear winter only narrowly avoided by new military technology, the Gauntlet, which allows those wielding one to fly like fighter jets, fight like battleships, and repel attacks like tanks without any additional equipment. The Gauntlets require particular talent and special training administered from a young age in order to control, and the young boys and girls capable of mastering of them become known as Gauntlet Knights. The main characters of Ciconia When They will be a group of these young Gauntlet Knights who, after the peaceful competition in the International Battle Standard Festival, become fast friends vowing to prevent world war together. However, world events are leading directly to World War 4 like a cascading row of dominos, and these “main characters” are nothing but pawns in the global games played by those with a right to sit at the table. Will these youth be forced to murder each other? Can the tragedy of war be prevented by mere pawns? Who are the real players in these games, and will you, the fans of When They Cry, fight for your seat at this deadly game?

Panel stuff:

EDIT: adding info. If anybody's at the panel and can clarify any statements or has anything else to add, give me a heads up!

EDIT 2: c'mon automod-chan, there was one question mark in that post.

EDIT 3: panel wrapped up, though he does have autographs later.

EDIT 4: Aaaaaand infodump from Mangagamer here.
