FMoS Around the World
English Version
English Title: Full Moon
Publisher: Viz
Publishing Imprint: Shojo Beat Manga
ISBN: 1591169283
Notes: Since the English version hasn't been released yet, I can't really make any comments about it. But when it comes out on July 5 and I get a copy, doinkies will be sure to update with notes. ^^
German Version
German Title: Although it still says Fullmoon wo Sagashite on the cover, the (official) German title is Vollmond am Sternhimmel = "(a) Fullmoon in the starry heavens/heavens with stars"
Publisher: EMA (Egmont Manga und Anime)
Publishing Imprint: Egmont vgs verlagsgesellschaft (Publisher Egmont)
ISBN: 3-89885-877-4
Notes: The scans are of good quality: the black and white pictures are nicely contrasted, making the reading easy and pleasant.
The manga would have benefited from less use of a very right-in-your-face font at the chapter titles. I'm not sure what the name of that font is, but it's a cross between Curlz and Jokerman.
The translations are really good (I did sometimes miss a few things, but that good be my lack of all the German vocabulary... >_>) and all the names are the same as in Japanese. The sound-effects have been clearly pasted over the Japanese words, but not in a annoying way.
A nice extra is that the Arina Talks have been translated as well, with all the emoticons intact.
Thank you Amaterasoe for this info!
