I'm a bit late to the party with this because shipping to Australia + being away over the holiday period, but I'm here to say that I believe the first volume of Egmont Manga's 'Wedding Peach Luxury Edition' re-release is likely to make a solid addition to any fan's collection.

The page and print quality is easily the best available for Yazawa's original Wedding Peach manga anywhere in the world right now and the hardback presentation is quite lovely. I'm not in a position to judge the quality of the translation (I did 3 years of German in high school lol, so I can just read a kids' book like this and that's about it), but the overall presentation of lettering etc. is easily at current industry standard in this volume.

This hardback release contains what was originally volumes 1-3 of content from the Ciao-serialised Wedding Peach manga series. A second hardback will conclude the series in April 2024.

Easily the biggest drawback with this release is the cost of these volumes. 30,00€ is NOT cheap and with a label like 'luxury edition' it's obvious Egmont are gunning for older collectors who want to upgrade their original German paperback print from a couple of decades ago. This means anyone just wanting to check the series out casually is unlikely to engage with this release based on cost alone.

I do think you get decent (though not amazing) bang for your buck if you're an existing fan, but that's very much a niche market. Similarly, I don't think this release is likely to win over anyone who has never liked Wedding Peach in the past, it's nicely presented but there's no colour pages or anything else special included and the plot is still, well, Wedding Peach so I doubt it'll bring over a new generation of fans based on that alone.

Still, I'm glad this re-release exists and I'd love for the US market to do something similar though I know that's quite unlikely.

This trick only works up to 10x9, but you use your fingers.

Basically hold both your hands in front of you (doesn’t matter if it’s palm side up or down). Now, starting from left to right, assign each finger with a number from 1 to 10 (in order).

When you want to multiply a number by 9, take the finger with the corresponding number you want to multiply 9 by and lower just that finger (for example, if you want to multiply 9 by 3, lower only the middle finger on the left hand).

Doing this, you will get a certain number of fingers to the left of the lowered finger, and a certain number of fingers to the right of the lowered finger. The fingers to the left represent the ten’s places and the fingers to the right represent the ones. So as an example, for 2x9, you would lower the second finger from the left and end up with one finger to the left and 8 fingers to the right. Put the 1 in the tens place and the 8 in the ones place and you get 18!

This works for every multiplication from 1 to 10.

In the case of 1 and 10, there are zero fingers to the left of right respectively, so you add a zero in front or behind the nine other fingers respectively.

Hopefully this helps someone!

Kes was so real for this. She’s been on board for like 5 episodes and she is taking the captain aside to question her beliefs and morals. Kes doesn’t get a lot of credit or attention in the fandom but she is an ally and a friend to someone who doesn’t even believe in his own right to be treated kindly and it’s so important to me actually.

After two months of frantic sewing I finished my brother's wedding gift the day before his ceremony! Pattern is Summer on the Porch by Myra Barnes. I stuck with sewing in the ditch to highlight the patchwork (and save me the time of having to mark a pattern). Super proud of how it turned out!
