DOH, thought it was a new license or something, but i guess they are reprinting under a new name. oh well.

they list Tsubasa and xxxholic as Shoujo? o_o; Demo I thought Tsubasa was from the Shounen magazine?^^;

You can't! Do overrides!! In S2!!!!! Waaaargh!!!!!!!

The css is disappearing because of the proxy server. If I use FlexiSquares or Smooth Sailing on my LJ and link the stylesheet, the same thing will happen. I promise. It actually did happen, all the time, which is why I quit using FlexiSquares. When I do switch to FlexiSquares myself, I put the css directly into the theme layer; you can't get access to the code in S2 without buying the service, though.

Hmmm. This is like déjà vu all over again.

I'm very entertained by the fact that Del Rey is releasing that god-awful character guide, since: 1.) Now I don't have to bore myself to death attempting to scanlate it! Woohoo!, 2.) It contains no practical information whatsoever ["Fay likes cookies and smiles a lot!" "Kuro looks mean, but he's really very nice!"] and is not so much a 'character guide' as a really bad fanmag, 3.) There are several chapters which feature, as primary content, inexplicably awful Japanese fanart, and, 4.) Unless they are actively trying to discredit their own releases, Del Rey will be forced to spell Fay's name 'Fay D. Flourite.' Which, I would imagine, will cause at least the person who edits his wiki to suffer an aneurism. Funny stuff all around. I wonder if they'll fix the spelling in their crummy manga releases, too?

Also, it's "Del Rey." Means "of the king." Spanish.

oops. rey. right. you can see i buy all of their manga. really. all of it.

i'll leave the layout like it is for now.

are you back? or should i say is the laptop back?

Haha, I haven't bought a Del Rey manga since the second volume of TRC, because ow! I kind of compulsively stalk their shelf every time I attempt to buy English manga, though, since I have to deal with its bad-translation consequences on an almost daily basis. It's always on the shelf, for some reason. Maybe it's not as popular in my area as it is in some of the larger markets.

Del Rey have the publishing rights to a number of Tolkien's mediaeval-oriented peripheral works, too. Sadly. You think the CLAMP covers look like crap!

If you want to go back to S1, I can make you some overrides. Or edit someone else's for you. I'm not really all that busy right now (I ditched the crummy summer job and got a better one with short-to-normal hours and waaaaaaay more money).

Actually! I stole the laptop out of the mail, bwaaaahahahaha~!!
