**\[Including the spoiler warning since it contains official translations of chapters 4 through 7 and other tidbits that purchasers of the volume may not want to see until they receive their own copy.\]**

I want to give a general overview of it since many people may be receiving their copies soon as well (*though mine arriving two weeks ahead of schedule was a shocking, albeit pleasant, surprise*). The official translations are pretty good, they implement slang pretty naturally with the dialogue seeming really good, so major props to Mei Amake and her fantastic work! Viz says they are still working on the backlog so I won't be posting the official chapters here, but due note at this current time this is the *only way* to read the official translations of chapters 4 through 7.

I liked the little note at the back of the volume to tell new manga readers to read right-to-left in a very "*Tsumiki*" way. Little things like that are always a plus in my opinion.

The translations are very well done to appeal to a broader Western audience without removing anything that makes this manga great. There's little things like changing the display of time to be focused around AM and PM clocks rather than the 24-Standard, or changing some dialogue to keep the original frog pun intact. It could've been easy to just keep it the way it was and just add a note like "*16:00 can also note 4PM*" or "*Saying you're going home sounds like the word frog in Japanese*" and that would've been perfectly fine, but doing these small little changes are so fantastic in keeping the flow of the volume buttery smooth. That's at least my personal preference, but I understand if changes like that aren't enjoyed by others.

It was also cool to see small redrawings of characters to see how they look like their more modern designs. I would say about 90% of the character drawings remain the same as they did with their magazine release, but the occasional close-up panel of some characters have gotten some tweaks. I've only included examples of Tsumiki and Yutaka since they appear the most often (*thus this is most prevalent with them*), but characters like Hiyori and Moritaka also receive some minor changes as well.

Overall I would say it was a fantastic purchase and definitely worth the price. The quality of the paper felt good and the cover is nice to hold onto. This is my first actual "*review*" of something before, so it might not be super official or anything, but I would say if you were debating whether or not of purchasing the volume, I would vouch that it is 100% worth it! A strong albeit bias score of 10/10 coming from me!
