Re: Chihayafuru

We haven't seen those names before, either, but we don't read manga in English. According to ANN, the translator also worked on Ajin, so if the Netflix subtitles for the anime are using the manga as a guideline, then I'd say the translation quality should be on the good side.

Thank you for checking on ANN. I don't read Ajin, either - which, I think, is either licensed by Vertical or Kodansha.

Shirayuki, Skip!, Takane & Hana! (I couldn't shorten the last title to just one of their names, it wouldn't be fair.) And that reminds me I have an order on the way from Kinokuniya...

Oh, good that they're listing credits! (I mean, official Kodansha Comics releases would, of course, but I'm still used to the CR model which was pretty iffy on that information.) I'm not personally familiar with Ko Ransom's work, but I've heard of them and I think they're on twitter. They seemed like a well-connected, reliable sort? Checking ANN, Vertical approves. (Hiroko Mizuno is also Vertical-approved on the production (probably = lettering) side. hm.)

Interesting about House of the Sun! I'd still enjoy checking it out in Japanese first if you don't mind sending :)

I've been told by my editor that NE NE NE is incredibly cute. I need to check it out!

Oh shiny books :)
Yay, you're interested in "House of the Sun" Japanese tankobon. If you don't mind, I'll send them after I got Kodansha ebook to compare :)
Hope your week will be nice and Kino package arrives soon.
