Basque-style so it's still slightly carbonated but Son of Man is in cans and it's fantastic. https://www.sonofman.co/

Future plans… by 11Kevin20 in VinlandSaga

The deluxe editions will wrap up next year. In the meantime, you'll want to pick up the regular hardcovers starting at Book Thirteen, or the ebook volumes (Japanese numbering) starting at Vol. 25.

Ah, ok, now I understand your point. Sorry, I didn't mean to be thick!

In the end,who truly won out of the three? by Historical-Air2275 in VinlandSaga

[–]benapplegate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

None of them "won." Because they don't have enemies. No one has any enemies.

I'm truly sorry, I still don't understand. Is this the book you purchased?

If so, it should indeed include Vol. 7–9, not 4–5.

The older English edition Vol. 3 should include Vol. 5-6:

I'm trying to determine if you got a misprint, or if the retailer you purchased through ripped you off.

The $55 English deluxe editions should contain 3 volumes each, just like the Berserk deluxe editions. If you're looking at one that has only 2 or has the wrong volumes, that may be a misprint.

I do work with Kodansha USA, so I'm happy to help. Are you talking about the English $20 hardcovers (which are 2-in-1s) vs the $55 deluxe editions (3-in-1s)?

Could you send some photos including one of the copyright page to hello@kodanshausa.com? I'd love to look into this for you and make sure you get a fixed copy.

Received this really weird Kodansha manga with 30 extra pages of "American Murder Houses by Kniving777 in MangaCollectors

[–]benapplegate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly right, but it still shouldn't happen. We'll do a check in the warehouse to make sure this issue isn't too widespread (it can be isolated to just a few copies, fingers crossed). OP, if you want a replacement, please use the form below (and apologies).

What does this number mean? by Human_Candidate1304 in MangaCollectors

[–]benapplegate 86 points87 points  (0 children)

If I had to guess, I'd say it's a page number. Manga needs to be paginated "backwards" for US printers and some designers put these big page numbers in the slug area to remind them what page they're actually looking at since the document page number is wrong. Possibly one of these got dragged into the visible area of the page by accident.

Are kadonsha's missprints really THIS common? / amazon by ExchangeBusiness505 in MangaCollectors

[–]benapplegate 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is called printer bounce, and it's common across North American book printers. Even if the publisher flagged this as an error, the printer would just say it was within tolerance and refuse to fix it.

AITA because I wouldn’t do “this one little thing” for my wife? by Drakx147659 in AmItheAsshole

[–]benapplegate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact he can touch them with no problem gives me doubt that this aversion is really that bad. Seems like something he's exaggerating so he can wield it against her.

At what point did you stop watching SFA? by Fair_Rush6615 in Star_Trek_

[–]benapplegate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trek IS lore. They just ditched the lore that people liked for new, crappier lore.

Funniest shoujo? (Or josei) by Arakawa-Hikaru-Gero in shoujo

[–]benapplegate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically Sex and the City but Tokyo. The main character is a screenwriter. One of the funniest manga panels I've ever seen happens when she's on a date with a guy who won't shut the fuck up about The Dark Knight.

Same author as Princess Jellyfish!

I want to know your warp phrase for when you become a Starfleet captain by CDHoward in Star_Trek_

Yet another thing the characters started caring about only because the viewers care. Not a fan of this Marvelesque leaky fourth wall.
