That is $5 more than the last volume. It is also $5 more than other similar releases, such as K-On! High School and College.
I checked Amazon, Right Stuf, and Yen and found nothing to indicate that it was not a standard 112 page paperback, just like the previous volumes.

I had planned to order this for the current Yen sale at Right Stuf, but now I am going to wait until I find out why it is so expensive.
It is not being released until September so there will be another Yen sale before then.

Maybe there's a few color pages.

There's always a few color pages

Maybe there's a lot of color pages



Although Amazon Japan's price is exactly the same as every other volume, so I'm not sure.

For that price it would need to be all color, with life-sized posters of the girls

I suspect that Yen made a mistake in the solicitation.
If so I hope that they get it fixed soon.

Meanwhile, Yen Press just announced a license for Komeyama Shiwo's Bloody Cross manga (over Twitter, no less).

No further details as of right now, though I'm sure they'll either tweet them tomorrow (considering this posted just before midnight where Yen Press is) or they'll be giving ANN the full PR soon. This is a pretty interesting way to announce a new title -- I don't mind in the least.
