Manga Manga!

I had errands to run today and stopped at a Borders. And they had Samurai Deeper Kyo vol. 35/36 - the first of the two Del Rey doubles that will finish out the series.

It looks lovely, although of course we're missing one of the two covers (the one they used is the Hishigi/Fubuki badass double portrait, which I think was the vol. 35 cover originally. It looks like all the extras are there in the back, and there are even a few Del Rey cultural notes!

Unfortunately, they also seem to have continued the Tokyopop tradition of all-over-the-place translations ... really, guys, only Hishigi would be tossing around a word like "atavistic."

Awesome, it's out? I'll reserve a copy at Borders for pick up! :D

They had it in Silver Spring, anyway!

The extras include capsule bios of all the Sanada Ten ... which makes me sad because I've had an outline for Kosuke's story in my head for ages, and Kamijyo's canon story doesn't work with mine!
