Notes
- From the series record (Moribito): A Japanese-language fantasy series (translated by Cathy Hirano) following Balsa, a veteran spear-wielding bodyguard, protecting a young prince who carries the egg of a water spirit. Only the first two of the ten Japanese novels have been published in English translation; the remaining eight (spanning original Japanese publication from 2000 to 2018) are catalogued here as out of scope for now since no confirmed English edition exists, consistent with this database's practice of not inventing coverage it cannot verify.
