I generally love high-contrast stuff, but most Korean shojo really doesn't grab me the way Japanese stuff does, and it's mostly a story thing. And rival publishers being lame and setting the industry back five years in terms of translations and retouching is very not cool.

Tarot Cafe is great, though!

Ah, DelRey. I find them to be hit or miss, personally. When they're good, they're very very good (xxxHolic is a good example), but getting high praise for format/quality when their font use is so incredibly lame? Well... Not that TP isn't inconsistent with stuff, but what and how they choose to translate (and then footnote, or not) is always kind of interesting to me.

But yes, I am in fact the TOKYOPOP editor in the chibi. :-) That's me!
