    It was a pleasure to buy again!!

This volume of Kizuna contains volumes 1 and 2. I own both volumes 1 and 2 that were licensed and translated by Be Beautiful, so I almost passed on this. I only picked up the copy because I've been told it's leaps and bounds SUPERIOR to Be Beautiful's translation. And indeed it is. The flow of the translations feels awkward at times, but it's much closer to the original Japanese dialogue. I feel like this interpreted translation makes Enjouji come off as more sensually sophisticated than before. That is, when Enjouji isn't putting his foot in his mouth, lol.The honorifics are there, and Ranmaru isn't confusing us by calling Kai and Enjouji by their first names in situations where he wasn't doing so. I'm a little put off by June's translation of Kai's title, Bon, as 'young sir', but it flows better than the yakuza underlings casually calling him by his first name. Which none of them ever did, even when he was a child.I like that they kept in the perfectly innocent kiss between Masa and the child-Kai. It was unnecessary for Be Beautiful to censor it because it wasn't anything sexual or wrong. Be Beautiful made the kiss wrong by censoring it in volumes 1 and 2, and I'm glad June kept it as is.One thing though that stuck out most of all from this volume was the most painful scene to read, and that was Kai's rape scene from volume 2. Since Kai is my favorite character this chapter is always hard to read, but it was June's interpretation of Kai's last scene with Masa that was incredibly painful. In every translation I've read of this scene, from both Be Beautiful and fan translations, the aftermath of Kai's ordeal has him coming off as being accusatory to Masa over what happened to him. The tone always seemed like "This happened to me because YOU put me first". June however, gives Kai a tone of both anger and apology, and no sense of blame. The tone came off of more as "I'm so sorry I put you in this position". To me, this makes the scene much more painful and it adds many more layers to Kai's personality than a selfish, angry brat. It also adds a level of complexity to Kai's relationship with Masa, because later chapters reveal that both men blame themselves for what had happened. Seeing Kai act like it WAS his fault instead of acting like he was blaming Masa helps to lay the framework for their future turmoil and their individual psyche over this tragic event.I've already ordered volumes 2,3, and 4, which by my count would be up to volume 8. The price is a bit high for these volumes, but it's definitely worth it. The translation is amazing, and Kizuna is such an amazing series that you should NOT miss it.

    Definitely worth replacing

I was VERY hesitant at first to buy this book. Afterall, I already own all the previously released Bebeautiful editions. But with all the good reviews, I gave it a shot. I honestly coudln't be happier that I did. This book is not only translated better, but it has the correct honorofics that were missing in the BB editions (it was a pain in the behind, the way BB messed that up). The missing stories, that of Kai and Masa, as well as the "anniversary special" at the end, were just extra bonuses. I can't wait for the release of the other deluxe editions. If you already have the older editions, this 3-in-1 bundle is actually not a bad deal. If you've never read this, than you're in for a treat. I think I speak for all Kodaka's fans (old and new) when I say, "Thank you Digital Manga, Inc." :)

    The manga came in great condition, but I have to say some parts ...
  

*by P***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 16, 2018*

The manga came in great condition, but I have to say some parts of the story felt a little disorganized, and the doujinshi at the beginning through me for a loop! Overall, I did enjoy it, and would recommend it to any other adult who is a BL fan!
