And here we are, the next old volume, volume 8.
This one is the one where Joubin is introduced! Sure is interesting looking back on those given recent events in the story…
For those unaware, we’ve been slowly redoing the old volumes working backwards, replacing the old lower-quality magazine versions. But at the same time also doing the new volumes as they come out. These old ones are basically the same as the original versions but the image quality is better (They’re scanned from the physical printed versions), we’re trying to get the best versions of any color pages we can if they’re out, and the typesetting is improved to match our current style and have all the sound effects typeset (Which we skipped the first time around due to time constraints). I’m also trying to find any mistakes I made and improve the prose in my translation a bit if I can.
I mentioned this in the last couple posts, but we’ve got volumes 3-7 all scanned, cropped, cleaned and redrawn. So we just have the process of updating the lettering styles and checking through the translations to improve them left (These are edited versions of the typesetting the JoJo’s Colored Adventure Team used, which are based on our magazine versions). I’m hoping we’re able to get through them pretty soon and have the whole series done in high-quality volumes finally after all these years, but it’ll depend on when folks have time between their other projects and all that. (Also we may update volumes 1-2 after that to use more up to date lettering, too. Just updating the old volume releases.)
Enjoy, everyone!
