Hetalia manga Volume 3 update.



I was checking my email this morning and it seems that the Right Stuf is pushing the English edition of Hetalia Volume 3 from June 19 to June 26.

They have also updated their listing on their site to reflect this change: http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827/catalogmgr/=utpj268xmJ0M7Vs9i/browse/item/95024/4/0/0

Ee... yikes okay. Maybe they were overwhelmed by all the preorders? lol

My thoughts exactly.

(*COUGH*I also won't complain because that puts the release date closer to my birthday so I can bother people to get me a copy as a present*COUGH*)

I'm pleased that it's coming out at all, although it makes me wonder how long we'll have to wait for Volume 4 to be released in English too.

That is a good point. I wonder what the initial print run number was?

I'm not sure, but seeing how a good number of people were doing group orders (I mean, only the first print run will have color pages), it wouldn't surprise me if the demand exceeded their expectations. Maybe they'll give us some numbers after the release?

Can't really say I'm surprised, they probably got swarmed when the news hit the major places like here and tumblr.

I am one of the people doing the group orders for the manga but the question I'm curious about is if they are going to shrinkwrap the books. I say this because when I order I believe a copy of Volume 2, it came to me shrinkwrapped while on the second order. it wasn't. I hope they don't shrinkwrap them because I want to make sure the lot of Volume 3 have to color pages and it would be hard for me to do so if I have to go and ask every person on the order if I can open their copy.

I want to make sure they have the color pages and I have no idea if this adjusted release date will promise customers color pages as well since my theory is the preorders exceed the original printing number. IDK. I could ask Shawne since I have gotten answers from him.

Sent Right stuf CEO an email, will report if I get a reply.
jammerlea: (LoviSigh)

As far as they said on the product page, all pre-ordered copies are supposed to have the color pages. So I should hope that they hold true to their word. I'm interested in hearing what the CEO will say. :3
