It's Japan time everyone!
Though the official Japanese dub had ended a few years ago, the MLP comics are now being translated at a fairly regular pace.
The second volume of the Phase 6 edition of the My Little Pony comics is now out in Japan! What makes this edition unique from the other versions published around the world is that there are two unique covers designed for them! Both are illustrated by IDW Cover veteran, and Japan Native, Kaori "
sbis" Matsuo, which makes them a delightful collectors item for the IDW Comic collector.
Which is the point of view I shall be reviewing the edition on. How does the trade dress work in this edition, and is it worth the expense of shipping internationally from Japan?
As for reviewing the translation, I'm going to skip out on that. I am not qualified to rate a japanese translation of an english comic for one simple reason: I can't read japanese.
So is the book worth it to collect? You'll find out in the full review after the break!
