Two reviews and some cover art!

July 16, 2008 at 11:37 pm (reviews - links, upcoming releases)

Two new(ish) reviews at MangaLife, between today’s update and last week’s:
Fairy Cube vol. 2 (B+)
Sugar Princess vol. 1 (B)

***

Meanwhile, ICv2 has a short article up about TOKYOPOP’s versions of Phantom Dream (which I’m working on) and Tsubasa: Those With Wings, including what looks like the final cover art for Phantom Dream (and preliminary art for Tsubasa: TWW).

…the Twins are right. Having two different “Tsubasa” titles in the market is probably going to confuse people.

Four new reviews and an unexpected adaptation credit

July 2, 2008 at 5:21 pm (reviews - links)

I’ve written four new MangaLife reviews in the last couple of weeks, all of them on new VIZ properties (review copies are a lovely thing):
High School Debut vol. 2-4 (B+)
La Corda d’Oro vol. 8 (B)
S.A. vol. 5 (B-)
Time Stranger Kyoko vol. 1 (C+)

(The alphabetical ordering coinciding with the letter-grade ranking is entirely coincidental.)

Today’s amusing discovery was that I’m credited with the adaptation on the Fruits Basket Sticker Collection (Alethea and Athena have the translation credit, obviously). The book is original to TOKYOPOP, as far as I’m aware, and has very little text…which comes from the Fruits Basket Fan Book -Cat-, my first adaptation. ^_^ (I can’t imagine anyone’s buying anything called “Sticker Collection” for the text, so fair enough.)
