On Akizuki vs Akiduki: づ in あきづき is pronounced zu, but it's part of the "d" consonant group (だ=da ぢ=ji/di づ=zu/dzu/du で=de ど=do). So spelling it with a d is consistent with that, even though it's not really pronounced with a d sound. It's like how, often, Japanese words spelled with し may be romanized "si" even though the actual pronunciation is more like "shi" (Moyasimon, for example). Er, hopefully that explanation makes some sense to you... :)

Thanks for the new cover notice!! I saw the list the other day but missed seeing the covers. I read about Tenshi having a new format; must go check it out! And Yamada Nanpei's Tea Prince spinoff :D :D :D (/sequel/whatever it is. did she end Orange Chocolate? I'm so out of it!) Oh, Yashio to Mikumo 6 (Nari Kusakawa) has the new format too! Well, well, well.

"but it's part of the "d" consonant group"
oh, because there's no "tu", I see. Thanks for your explanation.

It looks like many author opt to change to the new cover format. Interesting. I haven't read anything about Orange Chocolate being ended. Volume 11 came out in April didn't have this (完結), so I guess not :) I am waiting for the french to catch up with my Japanese tankobon. I wish the French licensed Nari Kusakawa.

Cipher's new release 1st 2 covers look great: the twins on the first, and Anise on the 2nd.
