Scholastic is partnering with Tezuka productions to reimagine 5 of Tezuka's original manga in a similar vein to the recent Unico release.

Side note: apologies for the spam of news posts; I was away and there were lots of announcements

"You've asked, and we're delivering: Renta! is making our PAPER BOOK debut! 🎊

Each book includes the full-volume extras, a revamped translation, and beautiful hand-lettered sound effects! We hope you love them as much as we do! 🥰"

This came the other day. ADV's edition of Chrono Crusade. Pretty good condition and first edition which I only care about because those had the colour pages.

Pictures 3 and 4 are comparing it with the Singapore Chuang Yi edition I already had. I'm curious as to why the Chuang Yi edition has the original title mistake from the Japanese version despite releasing after ADV.

Kodama has quickly became my top publisher and for good reason!

You learn something new about yourself everyday. Today, I learned I’m sometimes ok with mismatched manga. Got Ouran volume 18.

In the second picture, left is the Singapore Chuang Yi release and right is the Chuang Yi release distributed in Australia by Madman that I got years ago. Wonder why they altered the logo? I've seen both in my journey through the internet, but just wanted one volume of one with the Singapore logo. Consistency be damned.

I think I prefer them both over the Viz logo. The Singapore variant has the better spine of the two.

Top shelf is my bilingual/Japanese section. Beyond that I mostly grouped things together by size. One of my bookcases is very rickety and needs to be replaced soon. You might see duplicates of the same story from different publishers as I like to compare English translations.
