They released the first volume, they being dark horse. Worthwhile
purchase imo. It contains my favorite of the stories "For those of us who
don't believe in God" though it is slightly more shabbily translated then
the version that Nanashi did awhile back. For one thing they have the
totally sweet explanation of the origins of the word/term Yaoi.
Ohwell! Still fun. |

No mention of my past misdeeds: it could jeopardize my budding career as a professional translator! Or something! (not that I am expecting any sort of long-term career out of it, but the extra money is nice while it lasts) |

As cool as that would have been, no, they required my real name for accounting purposes. |

Yeah, the translation was a bit of a letdown compared to the original, but doesn't really take anything away from the stories. Anyways, the one short I hadn't already read was quite good, though For Those of us... is still the highlight of the collection. Definitally looking forward to the second volume. |
