Just got finished reading the first vol of Tokyo Babylon and the 14 vol of X. After reading the first vol of Tokyo Babylon I was very glad it hadn't been published in English sooner regardless of how impaitently I've been waiting for it. I remember just a few years ago a translation this faithful wouldn't have been likely, with all the yaoi implications and Japanese culture references left in tact. Tokyopop definetly did an excellant job. Going from that to Viz's flipped rendering of X makes it seem the inferior conversion. But regardless, they're both such great stories and beautiful amazing art! I've loved X since I started reading it way back, loved the movie, loved the tv series. I can't wait for the next vols of both :love:
