Thanks. I finished the first chapter and liked it. I'm trying to get accustomed to the layout. I take it that you read right to left, top to bottom? I'm probably going to go back and reread it with more of a focus on the pictures... they're s so detailed!
How much of the series is translated and easily obtainable from amazon?
Honestly, what convinced me was it being a supposed source of inspiration for Dark Souls.
You should go with Instocktrades where volumes are available. I just looked and it looks like a lot are out of stock at the moment (though if you e-mail them and ask they might actually be in stock but haven't been updated on the website). The shipping will take longer than Amazon, but the prices are usually significantly cheaper (~42% off).
And yes, right to left, top to bottom. You aren't even at the part where the art is particularly good, either!
