Format: manga series, from [a major weekly magazine] still in publication in Japan (could be headed for more than 30 volumes, who knows \o_O/)
I'm translating and adapting/editing this series, which has gained a lot of popularity since it was licensed in North America. Unfortunately, the first few volumes were edited/altered and lettered elsewhere (by very busy staff members who couldn't read the original Japanese), and so had some errors & censoring that some fans noticed right away.
HOWEVER thankfully that extra attention pushed the publisher to allow for a more literal translation and convinced them to not change my favorite character's favorite catchphrase. Now the team is well-oiled and I'm happy to be part of this feat of localization (from book 04 on)!
Scheduled to be available anywhere manga in English is sold starting Spring 2006.
Scheduled to be completed: whenever the series is completed in Japan.
