I'm so excited that this is coming out here again in full. I have the ancient Orochi: Blood release, but I believe that single volume was actually one of the last volumes in the series. Always found it strange they released only the end as a standalone book. I'll definitely be adding this next to my Drifting Classroom and Cat-Eyed Boy sets.
Absolutely thrilled to get more Umezu. Er, I guess Umezz? I never did hear why the double Z now. Hard to get used to it after over 20 years of the other, and all my English works are the older editions with the old spelling. I assumed it was a legal sidestep of spelling in the Junji Ito story I first saw it in, like when a gag comic will have characters piloting a Gunlam instead of a Gundam. Was there ever a reason disclosed? Genuinely curious when the switch started. |

Kazuo Umezz is how he writes his own name in English. Umezu is just the simple romanization of the Japanese. Earlier English publications were just unaware of Umezz's preference or perhaps he hadn't started to widely use that spelling yet. |
