We received the color proofs for Kon Kon Kokon vol 1 today.

(image coming soon)

We’re using a different type of paper for the cover of Kon Kon Kokon.
It’s textured paper, so I’m looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

There’s 3 pages of color insert for Kon Kon Kokon vol 1 too.

A lot of projects have been moving along while I was away in Japan, so here’s a big ol’ recap of what’s been brewing at the Broccoli Books offices.

KAMUI vol 7 proofs arrived. Editor Dee had sent me the photos, but I didn’t have time to upload them in Japan. Maybe next week.
KAMUI vol 7 goes on sale on May 16, 2007.

Galaxy Angel II vol 2 has been sent to be printed. Galaxy Angel II vol 2 goes on sale on May 30, 2007.

We got the layout of Kon Kon Kokon vol 1 from layout staffer Knuckles, and editor Dee has gone through a few edits already. Designer Chris also worked on all the extra pages, including the youkai (monster) encyclopedia, so editor Dee gave me a big packet to look over this weekend.

Coyote Ragtime Show vol 1 and Delivery Cupid are currently being laid out.

And we really need to reprint Disgaea soon. I want to add extra pages, but I haven’t informed editor Dee or designer Chris about it yet. It must suck to have a kimagure managing editor.

We received the translation of KAMUI vol 8 from translator S@ki.
So it’s been shipped off to re-writer Elizabeth for script clean up.

But re-writer Elizabeth is currently working on My Dearest Devil Princess vol 1 re-write, so she won’t be able to start on it until next week.

We also received the Coyote Ragtime Show vol 1 script back from re-writer Melissa on Monday.

Kon Kon Kokon vol 1 text insertion is being worked on by layout staffer Knuckles right now.

And translator S@ki is taking over the translation of Disgaea 2 vol 2, since translator Yoshi now works for another anime company. She’s also juggling the translation of Title X.

Oh, and Boysenberry stuff.
Translation for Delivery Cupid is all done & the script is being worked on right now. We also need to finalize the logo design by designer Knuckles, so we can finally show the final cover design.

We received the translation for Kon Kon Kokon vol 1 from translator S@ki today.

This book will have a hefty translation notes section, b/c there are so many Japanese monsters mentioned by our hero Ren.

We also had designer Knuckles create the English version logo of Kon Kon Kokon, which I’ll post the image if I can get a JPG version of it from our graphics staff.
