Does this mean that, for the first time ever, the Japanese anime will be ahead of the North American volumes? Cool. The American volumes really need to catch up. They don't need to be a full year behind Japan. If the Japanese volumes take a week to draw and only a few weeks to compile and set for retails, then I don't understand why it would take a year to translate it and ship it to North America.
