Super thrilled for Holic Rei, MLM, and Say "I Love You"! I've wanted to read those three for so long!

Now if they could just see their way to releasing all of Alive: The Final Evolution... Rolling Eyes

What I would like to know about the Tsubasa and xxxHolic re-releases is will they just be 3 of the single volumes bound into one book, or will there be changes? Things like a different translation, or a larger page format? In other words, will there be anything of value added worth double dipping for if you already have all of Tsubasa and xxxHolic?

...This. I'm pretty sure the translation will be different, for copyright reasons, though. I'm interested in how they will romanize Fai's name. They'll probably keep it the same, since Del Rey started with "Fai" before CLAMP revealed it was actually spelled "Fay" (pronounced the same, of course).

Monster Soul is all I'll get. After all, Hiro Mashima is one of my fave author (Rave Master, Fairy Tail, Monster Hunter Orage). Smile

I am so stoked for SILY. It's such a great series and I can't wait to own it in English.

Not surprised about any of them, but definitely going to be picking up SILY, Tonari and xxxHolic Rei.

I'm looking forward to My Little Monster. I might be willing to double dip on the Tsubasa/xxxHolic omnibuses if they're more like Dark Horse's omnibuses (with the color art pages) versus Viz's regular, non-VizBig omnibuses.

This is fantastic news! I was wondering if/when someone would license My Little Monster. Now if we can just get the anime...

Excellent news. I wonder how the translations will differ now that the whole series for Tsubasa and xxxHOLiC have been out for a while. (CLAMP has a way of hinting at certain plot threads with nuanced language. It didn't always translate well since the translator didn't know what was coming.)

Does Kodansha have any other Omnibus books?


If so, Are they nice like Dark Horse's or just so-so like Viz's?

I'd say so-so when it came to the genshiken omnibuses they were serviceable but nothing to write home about. There weren't any color inserts if I remember correctly it was just three volumes smushed together.
