I've spent a fair amount of time complaining about ADV. Their biggest fault, of course, was sitting on volume 4 of my beloved Yotsuba&! for the better part of two years, but they've committed plenty of minor solecisms, too, including letting far too many grammar and spelling screw-ups slip into their translation of Azumanga Daioh. But I was feeling pretty favorable towards them this week, when I discovered that they had just released an affordable and attractive omnibus edition of the Azumanga series:


Isn't it cute? And only twenty dollars! I was all: Go, ADV! Pick this baby up at your local comic shop today!

Of course, this newfound affection only lasted until I tried navigating their infuriating website...
