[Shindo L] Metamorphosis (Hard Edition)
1
Not sure if anyone noticed, but the Amazon description for the Hard Edition reads as follows:
A book release announcement is slated for the 7th. Will it be this? Who knows.
Shindo L's emotionally brutal and twisted story reemerges as FAKKU’s first-ever Hardcover edition! Metamorphosis: Hard Edition comprises: -Metamorphosis: The original story of Saki's heartbreaking downfall. -The Raw Side: Drafts and Sketches: early draft pages of the entire manga, annotated with author’s thoughts on the creative process. Includes cut/alternate content not seen in the final edition. -Interview with Shindo L: Artist profile conducted by Kimi Rito that was first published in The History of Hentai Manga. -Pin-ups, illustration postcards, and a timeline of Shindo L's publication history. With 500-plus pages entombed in a sleek, hardcover presentation, The Hard Edition is the glow-up that Saki dreamed she could’ve had.

Does anyone know a set release date by any chance ? Pre ordered the book at my local manga store so I’m wondering….
Also says on Amazon.com that it was released today, which I don’t really understand ? Was it actually released today ???

So, on Amazon the Hard Edition was released, and some here have ordered it. I want to order it, just to see if it arrives quickly, but I'm still waiting on an official announcement by Fakku so we can also reap in the digital version. It has been a week since they said the announcement was pushed back to today, so let's see.

It has begun. But I won't be running this race this time. No point buying something I can't enjoy anymore. Saki will always be my waifu even when the lights go away from my eyes

I'm so so excited that this is finally going out to you guys. This has been the longest project I've worked on and we're so proud of it. The book was an idea that just kept growing and growing with ideas and the amount of effort Shindo L contributed to the final result really put the cherry on top with this.
Even if you only know this book for just the meme, there's so much interesting information about problems Shindo L ran into when creating the title with Japanese laws and he has a ton of really interesting thoughts throughout the annotated portion. I hope you guys genuinely enjoy the title, because I sure did.

What exactly is in the hard cover?
Is there more story, or is it exactly the same as the paper book, but + notes and sketches?

Just got my copy from amazon's preorder so people should start seeing them come in.
Wish it had come in a box that wasn't twice its size and/or had any level of bubble wrap to prevent it from scratching off the thin film that surrounded the book and consequently scratching the cover and edges, but that's really more amazons fault than a seller. I had been following its release for a couple of months now, Book looks beautiful in person you guys cooked on this one
