Viz annoys me

[kikotei]

It's probably just a simple error, but I picked up a copy of Case Closed (Detective Conan) volume 2 a while ago and just realized that there is a wacky misprint. The contents of page 45 are repeated on page 15. ::scratches head::

So I tried to email them and the turkey's have no email contact for problems or concerns. >_<

I emailed the closest possible option (the store) and asked that if this wasn't an appropriate contact to pass me along to the correct party. We'll see if they respond....

Lack of quality control

[madamhydra.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it! It's good that a whole bunch of manga is now available in English, but the sheer volume seems to have resulted in quality control issues. I know that a whole bunch of Rurouni Kenshin #7 (by Viz) had really faint printing on numerous pages. And Rune Soldier Louie #4 had nearly 40 pages repeated.

Now, whenever I buy manga, I always do a quick thumb through to make sure there are no gross errors. It's really irritating than having to go back to the store to get another copy.

I especially liked how the last volume of Fake looked like it had been badly photocopied, but of course there was no way to really check that one as it was plastic wrapped. >_<

I'm hoping Viz offers to replace. I would rather not blow money buying another copy of Conan. YnM, probably. Conan, while I enjoy it, I don't think I *love* it that much.

BTW, Hydra, do you have that doujinshi of Sanzou drying Goku's hair after a bath and knocking the limiter off? I was talking to Coyo about it, who wrote a very similar idea. I thought I had it, but it was no where to be found. Unless I dreamed the whole thing up. Which is sadly possible.
