Enjoy! I'm attempting to brute force my way through it with Google Translate which is... less than ideal. Would be interested to hear what others discover from the book.My order has finally shipped! I wonder what the hold up was :(.
Oh well, now I can go in Scott Pilgrim mode until it arrives.
Thanks! And damn, that's some dedication right there!
Good news though:

I would be legit surprise if they actually release this in Thai. (Tuttle-Mori Agency was a contract assistant of sort for licensing mangas over here. They even have an office here as well) Since I didn't expect them to went and published in English, let alone multiple languages.

Hey at least we're getting a cover! The book is coming over! Parade time! I like the clean aesthetic of the US release, but the Japan one is a bit more whimsical sure.
Oh sure, I'm definitely getting this and happy it's coming.

In spanish?! I was thinking buying the english one, but now I'll wait.
Yes: Mine is waiting for me at my local delivery store, but sadly, I must wait until tomorrow: FNAC's IT system will only send me an email after midnight and without that email, I'm not sure I'm able to have it.
Without the current situation and with a least one other parcel waiting for me, I would go: usually, the nice people at the desk have no problem giving me every parcel waiting for me, including those with books or games not yet released.
I like it too. I only have one regret: this French publisher usually doesn't sell ebooks.

I spoke too soon: it's also available as an ebook, and one without DRM (at least if bought at a bookstore who don't add its DRM scheme for every book).
