Well, I bought it, and it's a decent translation. In fact, I found a few spots where their phrasing was more appropriate than JJ's. However, there are a couple of awkward moments, especially the "You don't strip her, you fuck her" "You monster!" scene. It becomes "You don't only strip her, but you also screw her, too." "You freak!", which I think loses some of its comedic punch. The use of fanzine for doujinshi is a bit odd. They did make an effort to footnote the cultural references, but there were a few omissions. The "kugapii" omake strip loses the punchline in-joke "Don't get us sued!" for a more generic silly name gag. These are minor issues, though, and I'm happy with it so far.
