I gotta agree with Res here, strictly because I've seen the fan translations and they're TRASH. The phrase 'You get what you paid for' definitely applies to Seraph, because it's the intricate type of story that absolutely DEMANDS a competent team of writers and editors. Reading the fan-translations makes me feel like it's not even the same story anymore, or a vastly inferior knockoff. Granted, any decent manga deserves to be viewed from its first-hand source, so trying to make sure you investigate more than just one solitary retailer will show that you really want to support your manga/lightnovel/anime.

Hell, even anime pulls the same trick here, since the DVD for Seraph probably actually HAS a battle in Shinjuku for me to enjoy.
