Holy crap!

I didn't think he'd ever get around to writing this!

I don't see it available for pre-order, yet!

Thanks for the good news!

How about that!

I'm always happy to be proved wrong on statements like the pre-order availability.

I just placed my order on Amazon.jp

[Ryo-Okay]

its about time

Volume 18 is releasing exactly 7 years after volume 17. Saying it's about time is an understatement.

Does anyone know who did the wonderful translations and graphics work on the color pages in vols 1-17?

Since I suck pretty bad at graphics mods (see the butcher job I did on Paradise War!), I'd love to offload the color photos to someone competent.

GXP 18 was delivered this morning.

It is just as I hoped and feared.
Hoped because it's 398 pages long. Gonna be lots of good stuff in here.
Feared because it's 398 pages long. Scanning is gonna take a bit and OCR is gonna take a bit longer.

Fortunately, Google is a lot better at OCR these days. I scan at 400 DPI so it usually does a decent job.
Unfortunately, I still have to verify the whole thing.

I'll keep you updated on my progress a couple of times a week.

400 pages... Remember the commentaries in the first couple books where hes like well I had to split it into more novels because it would be too thick? He's just doesn't even give a hoot anymore lol. The next on will come out in 2035 and be as thick as an Anne rice novel

[BobSchlotkin]

Alrighty,
I've completed scanning and some light processing.
I'll be OCRing tomorrow and translation begins Monday.
