Man, I’m doing a lot of production related work lately.
Maybe because in one week, I’ll be working at home recovering from my mini surgery. But I digress.

I went through the final check for Koi Cupid vol 1 so it can be sent out to our printer. I haven’t been able to do this “final check” for a while, but I also did have editors to fall back on before.

The final check thru involves tedious tasks like making sure all the page numbers are correct & they match the information on the table of contents. Good thing Koi Cupid doesn’t have chapter titles, cuz that’s an extra thing to check.

BTW, the Japanese chapter headers were “1 Kyuu” “2 Kyuu”… but we realized (more than half way through production) that it doesn’t make any sense in English, so we changed it to “Love 1″ “Love 2.”

Another thing I checked for was making sure all Japanese terms were included in the translation notes. We missed “Koge-Donbo” and “Comi Deji” in the aftertalk section, so I had designer Chris add them in.

Koi Cupid vol 1 will be hitting stores in late May/early June.
If we’re lucky, we’ll have them for Fanime.

Hrm… Koi Cupid isn’t available on dot-anime.us. I gotta talk to retail manager Dennis about this.
