Take heart, a collected edition of it should be out sometime early next year.
Though it's likely to be censored as hell. Oh well, not too bad since I have the uncensored and can just look back and forth between the two.

I don't recall hearing about anything in particular getting censored... the reason it took so long to come to America is because Shirow was getting all the pages colored.

I have NEVER EVER watched a non-hentai anime as INCREDIBLY DIRTY as this one!! And what's even better is that it still manages to be absolutely hilarious as well!
I guess you hadn't seen Ippatsu Kiki Musume? :P :twisted:

No, but its still good, even if we are missing out. I've been getting the issues almost as Dark Horse has been publishing them, and its been pretty good. The coloring goes away eventually, though :cry:

Issues 1-9 (or was it 1-8) are currently available, translated (and flipped, sadly) in the United States from Dark Horse. I have 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. Issue 2 seems to have quite frankly vanished from the face of the Earth.

Blame Studio Proteus not DH for the flipping and and blame Shirow for his wishy-washy attitude on his own work and for censoring it.

Well, the censorship doesn't bother me - I have never heard a good case made as to why we need to be familiar with the sexual adventures of Motoko Kusanagi to appreciate the work fully - but the flipping does.

Won't argue with that, but the problem with censorship lies with Shirow attitude and handling of it which annoys the shit out of his fans.

- but the flipping does.
On the plus side just about every NA manga company except for Studio Proteus have stop flipping or is going to on their last remaining titles still done in the American comic format.

That is not just it, he added aound a chapter or two worth of new pages, removed several pages from the original version, and etc.

How did you get ahold of a licensed copy of Limited edition version [Solid Box or something?]?
