gente volume one.
The first volume of Gente: The People of Ristorante Paradiso went on sale this week - August 17th, to be precise. My copy arrived today, has anyone else purchased theirs? The book is in keeping with Viz's release of Ristorante Paradiso - larger format, cover flaps, the same dialogue text font. As with Viz's Rispara the colour insert pages from the original Japanese volume are presented here in plain black & white. An interesting addition to this book is a little guide to "useful Italian expressions" toward the end.
If you've bought this volume, what did you think? If you haven't purchased it, do you plan to?
The other two volumes of Gente will be released by Viz in December 2010 (#2) and May 2011 (#3). Please be mindful however, that these dates are subject to change.
In relation to the Sarai-ya Goyou anime's release on Japanese DVD, the second volume (with an absolute slew of extras) will be released on August 25th. Check out the gorgeous cover/box designs here. Also recently announced, a Sarai-ya Goyou drama CD - to be released on October 22nd with a RRP of ￥2,940. More details on the drama CD when they become available.
