lbd_nytetraynWell, I've been in contact with Viz(as usual), and have found out that NT Warrior has already gone to print. The unfortunate part is, while my petition WAS successful in seeing Mega Man manga make it to America, I don't know to what degree the rest of it was.
In short, I'm told they're working as best as they can to keep it consistent with the cartoon(and trust me, I've informed him of just how bad an idea this is, even citing the white-out threats).
However, if there is demand for it, and circumstances allow, they may be able to pull a "Cardcaptors" and release a version that uses the game-accurate names.
As for other edits, I really don't know yet how those will be, if at all, other than name-changes.
Another plus: the manga, like so many others of theirs, will remain unflipped, which is a good thing as the art would suffer tremendously between Navi icons and English text within the art, among other non-symetric issues.
I'm working on getting some sort of way for the fans' to be able to speak out about what they want to see here. Not sure how far it'll go, but the editor is easy-going, and seems to know what we're getting at, but at the same time still has those above him with the final say. So we'll just have to wait and see.
Nonetheless, he does seem rather confident in the quality of the book, so we'll just have to see how it goes. With any luck, everyone can win, and hopefully we may yet see Ariga's Rockman, Iwamoto's Rockman X, and others come over.
