When will a 2nd printing with corrections be out?
We have to sell out of the current printing before there is a new one. Besides, it's not anything major at all--four to five instances in an entire book. It's not going to be something that impacts your enjoyment of the first volumes.

So, please go ahead and buy the book so that bookstores and online retailers know what to order for the later volumes. Print runs are based on what bookstores plan to order, and those orders are in turn based on the existing sales.

Thanks for answering. And i already ask a bookstore that sales manga to order it but they have yet to call me and tell me if it has arrive. If this continues, i'll might order it online.
