I just acquired volume 5 and I just need some reassurance that it hasn't been edited at all.
I'm fully aware that it's Del Ray's policy to not censor their manga but I'm paranoid as hell and there are some things in the volume that I took notice of.
I'm hoping that those who have or seen the Japanese tank will know what I am about to talk about:
<span style='color:#dddddd;background:#dddddd'>
1. On page 133 of the Del Ray version is a shower scene of Saki-chan. It looked like some of her naughty bits appear to have been photshopped out. Granted, the manga has never shown any nudity before. This is probably just wishful thinking on my end. /images/graemlins/noseblef.gif
2. At the end of the volume, they showed the made-up doujinshi the club made for Comicfest. Most of the pages have been blackened out due to the sexually explicit content of the material. This I am less inclined to think this is done by DR but it doesn't hurt to check.
I'm pretty sure there are no edits in the language translation since Sasahara used "fuck" in his dialogue.</span>
As stated before, I just want to see if everything is kosher w/ the Japanese version. My heart tells me that nothing has been done to release it here. However, I always feel there is always a first for everything when it comes down to it.
