Mini FAQ

Volume 11 will be the last book.

Unfortunately, I have very little control over which books get translated, but I would encourage you to check in with your local retailer.

-The contents of the standard edition and the Barnes and Noble Edition are the same.

I have also made a small space for clothes that have only been worn for an hour, which don't yet warrant being put in the dirty laundry hamper.

I made a menu of personal achievements that I read when I feel low. It's not designed gas me up. It's just there to remind me that I DO know what I'm doing and if I don't know, I have the skill set to work it out.

My theory is that Seven of Nine would love a Tamagotchi, especially if it were a star.
