I find it odd that Viz volumes has a less expensive US price than Sailor Moon, but SM has a cheaper Canadian price than Viz.

The price for SM was probably set at a time when the Canadian dollar was doing better? Only explanation I can think of. Viz probably wants to keep the price on its books pretty much stable as well, especially on long-running series, so I imagine they wouldn't change the Canadian price without also changing the American one for some market reason. Anyway, so thrilled to see the two Sailor Moon books on top of the chart, especially seeing vol 2 still be up so high. It also reminds me that I really need to read it (and pick up vol 3 for myself). |

^ I think Kodansha prints its books in Canada, so that's probably a big factor.
Glad to see SM back up there! Vol 1 was up for so long, it was amazing to see the other volumes ever drop off the list! Still, there's been ALOT of titles released lately! |

I'm surprised that Sailor Moon is doing so well, considering that the adaptations are absolute sh!t.

I am glad they are and while yes the translation choices in places have been a bit regrettable (the translator got an attack name wrong - Spark Ring Wide Pressure should be Sparkling Wide Pressure as it's スパークリング・ワイド・プレッシャー (supākuringu waido puresshā) not スパーク・リング・ワイド・プレッシャー (supāku ringu waido puresshā) just going by what other fans have said on the subject, not knowing an awful lot of Japanse myself but スパークリング is used in Japan for the 'sparkling' in 'sparkling drink') I would rather see this release be supported by fans to hopefully show there is a precedent for a release of the anime in the west again, rather than have people flock to scanlations and put TOEI off. I just wish that Kodansha would go back and do some fixes where mistakes have been pointed out for there reprints but apparently they aren't listening.

They also botched one of the villians' name in this volume. Japanese: プリンス・デマンド (Prince Demand) Kodansha: Prince Demande ADV: Prince Dimande DiC & Tokyopop: Prince Diamond |

So they do. That's rather unusual, actually. But yes, it would have to play a factor as well, since that would help with some of the distribution costs that are higher in Canada since here they have to send fewer books farther. |
