I remember a flattened piece of coal-like material falling out of a "Slamdunk" I got from 'em. Also, in the very same copy, two of the pages weren't separated correctly so they were joined together at the top. The worst was comparing their copy of "DNA²" with one from a Taiwanese publisher. There were one or two missing pages from the end of a chapter. Perfectly innocent scenes too with no nudity, no sex, and no violence; in short, nothing to warrant removing them. Now, bear in mind that it's been a while since all that happened (since, obviously, I stopped purchasing their books). It's been about... 10 years or so, and the ones I bought weren't in English. But a friend of mine reports censorship in his copy of "F. COMPO" (also not in English, but nevertheless, still from Chuang Yi) where they had drawn over a nude body. He can't recall exactly when, but this happened within the past 2-3 years. ________________ Its = possessive form. It's = It is.
