Lovely translation of one of my favorite mangaBy Melanie PieperI was excited to learn that Princess Jellyfish, or Kuragehime as it's known in Japanese, would be getting a licensed translation. The translation does not disappoint.For those unfamiliar with the story of Princess Jellyfish, the manga tells the story of a jellyfish otaku (or hardcore fan/nerd) who lives in Tokyo in an all-women's apartment building populated entirely by other otaku, who call themselves "amars" or nuns. Their motto is "a life without need for men." All of this changes when a fashionable stranger, Kuranosuke, arrives, and their beloved apartment building is slated for demolition in a community redevelopment project. The clothes-loving Kuranosuke suggests that the amars create a fashion line to make enough money to save their building, but the world of fashion is more complicated than they could imagine.I was a little disappointed in the print quality, it's a bit more mass-market paperback than softcover, with a shiny cover that scratches easily and paper a little cheaper than most josei and seinen I have purchased before (shonen and shoujo manga seem more likely to get this kind of printing). After just one read through it no longer looked new. Since it is a two-volume omnibus, affordability seems to be the key factor rather than quality. It does have eight color pages, which was a nice touch--four at the beginning of the first volume and four at the beginning of the second.This translation keeps many Japanese terms and honorifics untranslated, which I like, but others may not. The translators use of "fujoshi" seemed a little off until I read the translation notes at the end, though.These notes should assist anyone unfamiliar with many of the terms used.45 of 46 people found the following review helpful. Finally, Princess Jellyfish gets the release it deserves!By EmilyI've been a fan of Princess Jellyfish ever since watching the anime several years ago, and I always hoped the manga would be published in English. And lo and behold, now Kodansha is finally making that dream a reality!The volume itself is a 2-in-1 omnibus, clocking in at close to 400 pages, which makes it a great deal for the price. In addition to page count, the volume is also slightly larger than regular-sized manga (see my comparison photo with a volume of Sailor Moon). The design is cute and eye- catching, and there are several color pages inside as well. The paper quality is about the same as regular manga, and the translation is well-done. There are also a few pages of translation notes at the end, which are very helpful (I always appreciate it when publishers take the time to add such notes). Overall, a fantastic product!As for the story, I have always loved Princess Jellyfish for its clever humor and relatable characters (I personally can relate quite well to a bunch of nerdy girls with little to no social skills!) The humor is probably my favorite of any manga I've ever read. If you're unsure about whether you'd like the manga, I suggest watching an episode or two of the anime--if you like that, then you'll definitely love the manga.For those on the fence about buying this volume, I would recommend that you please do! Kodansha has licensed the first 12 volumes of the manga (to be published in 6 omnibus volumes), and they have stated that they will decide whether or not to publish the rest of the volumes after that based on sales figures. So if you don't support the series now, we might not get all the volumes! Show Princess Jellyfish the love it deserves!6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Great release of a fantastic storyBy Sacha W.Very happy with this release. I was a bit nervous about the Kodansha translation, as I didn't care for their translation of Sailor Moon, but this one is well done! There are a few things I don't care for (such as using honorifics) but the translation notes were very useful and helped put into context some of the puns and references. The printing is lovely! I look forward to the rest of the releases!As for the series itself, it is phenomenal. A great, quirky, slice-of-llife. It is interesting for me as I can relate to both the nerdy Tsukimi and the fashionable Kuranosuke. It is a funny and sweet series that I highly recommend! New York Times bestseller!Named by the American Library Association and the New York Public Library as one of the top young adult books of the year!THE LONG-AWAITED STORY OF FANGIRLS TAKING ON TOKYO!Special large-size 2-in-1 edition of over 400 pages!"One of the best anime and manga for beginners.

Enthusiasm saves the day and paves the road to the future." - Kotaku"Princess Jellyfish's ambition is simple: to tell a delightful story in a delightful way... It's a pretty deadly one-two punch." - Anime News Network"Loaded with heart, soul, humor and insight." - About.comSTINGING BEAUTY Tsukimi Kurashita has a strange fascination with jellyfish.
