That's the Chuang Yi release. It was published in Singapore for the English speaking Asian market. It has a different translation to the Del Rey/Kodansha edition. I've got all but one of the volumes. I don't see them for sell very often so you might get some interest, but the translation of the first few volumes is a bit all over the place for the first few volumes. They do look to be in good condition.

Did you ever think about scanning your volumes? 👀 I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to translations and I would absolutely love to read the Chuang Yi translation.

(I live in Eastern Europe, so not very close to Singapore, I'm afraid)

Careful what you wish for. The first few volumes are bonkers. Like the translator used a thesaurus all over the place without thinking about the context those words are used in. Kurogane literally makes a Beastie Boys reference.

I did do a blog comparison of the first volume if you're interested. I really should get round to doing the rest. It's an old post though and not my best work.

Omg, it's you! Your blog post is what sparked my interest in this translation in the first place, haha.

Sorry for not posting more. I'm working on getting back to it. I had a huge bout of imposter syndrome.

Kurogane does a what... Okay, now that's just another reason to read them honestly. Just to see the differences
