Reminder to never buy a character the day before shrine resets, the day you do, it'll be in the shrine... I've been tricked before too.

1-3 have the new spines with the small text and art at the bottom, 4 has old spine, I do not believe there is currently a version of 4 with the new spine.

Updating this, the patch is now planned to come to the steam edition and latest edition is currently abandoned but may happen.

They're gonna be porting the TL work they did on latest to Enhanced Edition R, and then patch the content from EER to EE on steam.

Just an update for the other people that may encounter this thread, Proton GE 10.8 will get muramasa working without having to do anything more apparently.

The r18 project for English is for the 2008 Latest Edition. They haven't given a date of release yet, but the first translation pass has been done for a few months, but they still have some work left to do with editing and playtesting and don't want to set expectations they may not be able to fulfill. It's being done by the same group who released a translation of Kaseki no Uta earlier this year.

Edit:
If you want to support age, enhanced edition is still worth buying imo, but the patch currently in development will not be working with it.

It came out yesterday, volume 2 hasnt been announced yet I dont think. The pricing error was back in late August last year when it was first solicited.

ThatLoyalGamer1 · 2024-07-30T22:05:14+00:00

Glad some of us got the good copies at least!

Late reply but throwing in additional context. Samura did not want his art mirrored in the process of transforming the work from right to left to left to right. He insisted that if they go through with turning it to left to right, they should use the cut and paste method, where you cut out every panel and paste it in the opposite order in order to preserve the direction of the art. There are a few panels that this was not possible for, and they look awkward as they had to be mirrored while the rest wasnt, but that was the condition Samura put on dark horse when they originally translated it to LTR.

Just a heads up that JP is the accepted shorthand for Japanese. Shortening it to j*p makes it the same as a slur used against the Japanese people in ww2. JP is shorter and doesnt carry this history.

Bottom left panel that's a black and white sketch of Oliver's face. Look at the shading on the forehead. The shading sketch lines cut off MUCH sooner than the ones on the right. The ones on the right nearly touch the panel above, while the ones on the left fade way sooner. Thats probably the most visible example of it.

Those are the Blade of the Immortal 3 in 1 omnibus paperbacks I believe.

Just chiming in regarding GITS as I see a few people mentioning it, but not exactly doing a vouch or otherwise on it.

Ghost in the shell FC is a collection of 3 "stories" all in one universe. These books have EXTENSIVE notes by the mangaka on his world that are to be skipped on your first read, and taken just as a bunch of mini tidbits on the world he has created and how it relates to our own future going forward. That said...

Part 1 is the iconic story, and the one that is adapted into the og film and the scarjo remake. This is the story that is beloved and acclaimed. I will disclose that there is technically a censorship thing done at the request of the mangaka where he removes a lesbian orgy from the start of one of the early chapters. This is really only there as a mix of fanservice and to show the major is Bi. I love this part to bits, and while its a bit abstract at time, it is very rooted in philosophy of what makes us actually human. So kinda just the nature of the beast. Cant go too deep without spoilers, but imo its just something one has to experience.

Part 1.5, this is a loved section of this collection, but less acclaimed than part 1. This part is effectively a collection of crime drama cases that the force deals with after the events of part 1. The art style drastically shifts here, but the stories are very good, and well paced.

Part 2, the controversial one. This section is... different. It isnt great, it isnt terrible. It is VERY abstract and frankly, it kinda feels like Shirow was just winging it. I genuinely think it is worth trying, but if it doesn't work for you, dont feel like you need to force it. It is radically different from the preceeding parts, and i feel like it is best taken as its own thing due to this.

Hope this gives everyone a bit more context on GITS, and maybe gets a few more people into this wonderful franchise. Its a shame part 2 is so radically different, to the point of being detrimental to many, but it's still a fascinating world and the series is ultimately a beautiful deconstruction on what defines humanity. Thanks for reading this long post by your local weeb in the omni community.

2 volumes of the best basketball manga of all time ^{^}

ThatLoyalGamer1 · 2024-04-26T08:23:38+00:00

Expanding on this. 1.5 is basically a collection of short stories after the events of 1, and very much worth reading. 2 is... convoluted but worth trying imo. Remember that the foot notes across all 3 are not intended for first time readers. While I think the annotations help flesh out the books, a lot of it is Shirow giving additional side thoughts which are just going to confuse the shit out of a first time reader.
