(Ms.) Tomo Kimura’s Translation/Tokyo Notes

Jackson Hole is a western-type bar in Chofu city (about half an hour by train from Shinjuku), right opposite the Chofu city office.

I went to ask permission to shoot photos right after they opened for lunch, so I had the whole place to myself while I snapped away. Unfortunately, I was told Sato Koichi was only coming in later that day, so I didn’t get to see him.

Here’s a view of the bar counter from another angle:

Got my copy yesterday.

I like the way the wacky fonts turned out in Skip Beat! when Kyoko goes berserk. I’m looking forward to how the letterer handled the “evil Kyokos” when they start appearing.

The photos of Jackson Hole and Roppongi Hills for the “Travel, Manga Style” feature are mine.

And Vampire Knight starts with the next issue.

Got my copy Monday.

There’s a glossary for this volume too. It seems like most of the notes I’ve written in my scripts for this series are food-related.
