They picked up a title that basically just came out. That's quite the gamble, I've never seen it done before. It does look interesting tho.

Where did they get Fauna from? It's Juana.
She's a hispanic girl that speaks in Spanish (written in kana). It's the best part of the manga, they better not ruin it. |

Apologies for the bump, but they have now corrected this, both on the news article (albeit not the URL) and the series page: http://www.sevenseasentertainment.com/series/juana-in-the-seven-kingdoms-of-the-dragonewts/ The error is due to the katakana (ファナ) being based on pronunciation, not spelling, and there being no differentiation between fu and hu sounds in Japanese (I once read an amusing anecdote about a manual which had been translated from Japanese by a non-native speaker of English who had rendered "hang up the phone" as "hook the phone", however they had rendered this as "f**k the phone"...) |
