Ugh. Well, if I can do preorders I can actually offer each of the books for more than 40% less than I have to sell them for at Lulu. And all that for shipping? Guh. Time to find a new place for printing! Lulu was really good a while back, but it's gradually gotten greedy, I think.

The first time I ordered something from Lulu I actually burst out laughing… because after I'd forked over all that money for shipping, it turned out the place they ship from is something like a 6 hour drive from me.

Ouch, that is just too much. Well, at first sight, Comixpress is looking like the cheapest route by a longshot, but I'll have to take everything into consideration as they have a setup fee that is kind of big for each individual book. I've heard the downside is it takes them a long time to actually print your books and get them to you. Using Comixpress would mean I would actually handle all of the shipping business, so it's likely the international shipping would be less as I'd be handling it personally. (Unless it actually costs an astronomical amount to ship a book to the UK, which I doubt.)

About your comixpress question…
I don't know about comixpress but I've heard good things about Ka-Blam. (Whatever you pick, please make it somewhere with more merciful international shipping fees than Lulu? I want the two Lint books I'm missing for ages, but ridiculous Lulu shipping costs + diving Canadian dollar = pushing $75 for two comic books)

Hmmm. they didn't make any more of the series, but another company picked it up and did the Tokyo Arc in a 3-4 part OVI. It's pretty good, better animation. Probably the second one is the best, since the Tokyo arc ends kind of “meh”ishly. After that the manga just got so convoluted and confusing I don't anyone will attempt to animate it anymore.

You're welcome It just begged to be done and the idea wouldn't leave me alone until I did it.

speaking of the tsubasa chronicles…a few years back maybe i watched the whole series by youtube, but then clash discontinued making them and never finished. do you know if there's plans for a conclusion to wrap that storyline up?
