Volume extras

[edit]

Besides the chapters, volumes have the following features (these are for volumes 1-7, later volumes may have other features, or some of the features indicated only for vol. 1 or 2 here):

  • Honorifics (all) - a short explanation of various honorifics used with names, since the translater wisely (IMHO) left them alone
  • About the Creators (all) - a short biography of Clamp
  • Past Works (vol. 1-2) - A quick rundown of some of Clamp's more prominent work, and how they tie in with T:RC
  • Dramatis Personae (vol. 1) - a quick rundown of the main characters
  • Translation Notes (all) - a list of places in the volume where the translater could've gone a different route, as well as explaining the significance behind various terms and references mentioned in the story
  • Preview of next volume (all) - exactly what it sounds like, a couple of untranslated pages from the next volume

Of these, the Honorifics, About, and Preview sections are insignificant, but I'm not sure about any of the others. Any opinions? (And yes, I love the idea of the translation notes every bit as much as you do ^_^ ) —Dinoguy1000 18:58, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm...usually I'll list everything in the volume's table of contents, even the insignificant stuff like the Honorifics and Preview and stuff. Actually some probably would argue that Honorifics isn't insignificant since it means they kept them rather than stripping them out like some do ;) -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 19:04, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
All right, fair enough... The biggest headache doing this is going to be the chapter titles. For some reason, the ToC lists the chapters as "Chapitre 1", "Chapitre 2", etc., but each chapter does have a seperate name. —Dinoguy1000 19:15, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh gravy...that would be annoying. You'd think they'd put the chapter names in the TOC too. Meanwhile, lead all tweaked up and I added some general refs, category, etc. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 19:31, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I just finished volumes 1 through 6 (my count above was off =P ), and I added the navbox (and then duly cleaned that up and moved a page to reflect the MoS naming conventions =D ). —Dinoguy1000 20:13, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Also, before I forget, the original volume list on the media page had information on the UK licensed edition. That information should be added back in as well if we're going to do the Singaporean English. —Dinoguy1000 20:16, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Woops, missed that, and yes those need to be included as well. Good thing it has long chapter lists ;) -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 20:25, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
How are they supposed to be included? Under "VolumeExtras"? And how should they be formatted? —Dinoguy1000 20:41, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There are two ways folks have been doing it. List of Fruits Basket chapters for putting all in the appropriate English fields, or Absolute Boyfriend#Manga for putting the first in the EnglishDate and ISBN fields, and the reset in the volume extras. Any preference? -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 23:54, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm... Well, given the length of the chapter lists in Tsubasa, my preference would be for the Absolute Boyfriend method. I see little reason to stretch out the release date/ISBN row when there's all that empty real estate going to waste otherwise. ;) —Dinoguy1000 16:10, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm inclined to agree, especially when dealing with three countries like this :P -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 16:15, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Other English-language releases

[edit]

Having just looked at List of Fruits Basket chapters, I noticed that it also lists other English language (Singaporean) releases, but it has them listed immediately under the North American release. IMHO, this is neater-looking than the method we use on this list, and I was wondering if there would be any objections to switch to using it? —Dinoguy1000 18:33, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

*bump* Any thoughts? —Dinoguy1000 18:10, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chapters without frontispieces - volume 27 onward

[edit]

Now that the tankōbon for volume 27 is published, what is done to Chapitres.213-216 is known - they're not labeled. There's a Chapitre.212 which is about a hundred pages long, and then Chapitre.217. I tried to represent this the best way I could in the chart... I don't know if there's any precedent though for this sort of thing. I don't have the special edition to check, so I don't know how that handles it. I'd assume they're left in, other text on frontispieces is usually left too - but I would've assumed that there wouldn't be a gap between Chapitres in the normal edition, so I'm not too sure what to do with this. Akata (talk) 22:23, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure myself... I'd have to actually see volume 27 to give any advice. It's just the title pages missing, though, right? None of the actual chapters are missing? If that's the case, leave the chapter titles alone and we can revisit the issue later when the English volume comes out and I can get my grubby little hands on it. =) ···「ダイノガイ千?!?

Ok... no title pages are missing though, they were never published in the magazine in the first place with title pages, the first page of story just had the Chapitre title and a box identiying the manga as "Tsubasa". In the back where it usually lists what issues of the magazine it was published in, (which is removed in Del Rey's versions) there's a little note how the layout was changed and the subtitles were removed for tankōbon... but yeah, it's essentially like if you went through a normal volume and tore out some of the title pages, but nothing else - the whole story is there, run into one continuous chapter like what happens so often in xxxHoLic. Akata (talk) 11:59, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
All right. If I'm understanding you correctly now (I'm pretty sure I am ;) ), we don't really have to do anything about this, since all the chapters are still there. ···「ダイノガイ千?!? Talk to Dinoguy1000 18:27, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
