I have the original Viz manga, in which the images were reversed. Is it the same way with this new re-release? I sure hope not. If Viz released the manga to be read from right to left, I'd certainly buy it.
ooooooh no no no. It's non-flopped, japanese sound effects intact, in 2 super-huge hardcover books with an artbox and a poster. It's amazing and beautiful. http://www.amazon.com/Nausica%C3%A4-Val ... nd+Box+Set

There's even an index in the back of translations for every single sound effect, for each specific page and panel.

I def. recommend getting it on Amazon because it's normally like $60 retail, and they sell it for almost half that (plus free standard shipping). Viz already sold out of their first printing of it, apparently! I was surprised and happy to hear that. :D

Wow! Fast reader! Come to think of it, I haven't read any manga for the longest time now.

Re-read Japan Ai for about the 5th time today, since I'm thinking this is the year I finally go to Japan, after putting it off for so long. I always enjoy reading it. It's about a "gaijin" who goes to Japan to obtain a BJD doll from the manufacturer company in Japan, and her adventure with her friends. She drew everything in a journal and printed it into a comic/story format. It's a great read.

I just got 31 issues of Animerica, 24 of which I didn't already have. So I am going to be reading them over the course of the week. Savoring them.

Whoa, that's a lot, Ryoran! :o

Today I finally got my copy of DMP's "Unico" from when I supported the Kickstarter last year. It looks SO nice, it was definitely worth the wait. I've read about 1/3 of it so far, and it's really great. The full-color pages look wonderful!

Oh man I wanted to contribute to that campaign back then. I forgot, do they also release it to the general public, or just for Kickstarter contrbutors?
