Well, I just finished the English version of Volume VI. It was a little hard to follow who was speaking in a couple of spots, so it required re-reading some paragraphs.
Overall, I was pleased. A nice choice of less common English words and old expressions made the dialogue feel antiquated and very period appropriate. And, I did not notice any misspellings or grammatical errors this go-around! But, I am far from perfect, so... I can't wait for the English version of Volume VII!

O... my... god.... what a photoshop fail moment...... I can't resist writing to Yen with a polite "wtf?" letter.
"Dear Yen, Holo's ears are on top of her head.... what are those horrible growths you have pictured on volume 6 on the sides o her head in addition to her wolf ears?"

And, who was the photographer... i.e. was it a subcontracted project or was it Yen themselves... probably the first.

I assume its the same guy and model that's been doing them all..... but up to now they kept the model's human ears hidden. If there's enough of a "wtf?" the second printing will probably photoshop hair over the ears...

I keep my books in the jackets, mainly because I don't want the actual covers collecting smudges.

I originally was keeping them because I thought "cosplay by people unfamiliar with cosplay" was interesting... but yeah, all the dust cover jackets are going now. I wrote Yen Press and their overlords about the 'faux pas' but got no response. Its really silly because it could fixed with a bit of airbrushing hair over the model's ear.

Regarding a response from Yen... I'm still waiting (and expecting no response).
