My Japanese skills aren't much better than Babelfish, but here goes...

It's been a while since I've updated around here. That's usual, I guess. Now that Summer's over, there are lots of preparations to make, and a ton of work to do. Winter's coming, and I wish you and yours the best.

I now present the 2007 calendar, which was made in collaboration with KAKUTA Miho-san. Now on sale at Amazon and Anime-mate. You can probably get it at Tora-no-ana. It's fan rank is higher than last year's, I think.

It's finally here. November 22, the Kuricorder Pops Orchestra's second "Yotsuba&♪" release. It's a musical suite of "Jack Frost". Yotsuba is genki in winter, too.

Then on December 16, "Yotsuba&" volume 6 comes out. At that same time, the Yotsuba picture book "Yotsuba& Black and White Animals" also comes out.

Later, "Yotsuba 2007 day calendar" comes out. You can't buy it yet, but they've started to take pre-orders.

That's the schedule so far. I'll update you on the details as they become available. For now, I'm still working on volume 6. Ah, but a few days ago I was dragged off for a break. I took a much-loved airplane trip to go see the horse chestnuts. I'll say more about that next time.

I also noticed that at the end of Yotsuba chapter 41, that chapter 42 won't be out until the Feb 2007 issue of Dengeki Daioh(電撃大王), which hits store shelves December 21, 2006.

Amazon.co.jp international shipping usually costs around US$30, so I guess I'll wait until the end of December to order everything at once.

How ya doing, buddy?
