This morning, I checked to see what the "NOT GAME" part of yesterdays concert was on the Court-Records Homepage, when I saw that the manga was apparently released one week early!!! It was supposed to be released the day before my birthday, September 30th, but was apparently released today!
Why do you think they released it early? Are we finally getting through to Capcom?

But, this is one of the few cases when we, the consumers, benefit from it.

Amazon have it down as having been released on 19/08 but the price is converted from dollars which suggests theres no European supply chain and have a delivery time of 11-14 days, Play UK hs and WH Smitdon't have it at all and Waterstones have it listed as released on 19/8 as well but no stock or image or synopsis.
Therefore I assume its not actually got a date any more.
I assume the same with be true for RoI and the restof Europe, Darzie P.
Seems like Europe get screwed again

It's a piece of delicious delight, seriously.
This book is so very enjoyable.
I mean, Phoenix throws his mucus-infested mask at Edgeworth's face.
It's beautiful.
PLEASE GET IT. ;-;
K, sure, so sometimes the art makes you stare like o_o but that's in only some of the stories... and they're all different artists, of course.
... But I love this so much...
.. Probably because I'm such a fangirl... yeah, you could tell. Okay, I'm gonna go and freak out somewhere else now, I'm sorry. *w*

A little too much Maya to be honest but I can't imagine I was expecting much else given that it's a Japanese comic book.
Still, *sniffle*, I could have done with some more Ema Skye.
That's it, I'm shaving my head.

Twelve bucks doesn't seem to go too far these days and well, I'd like to save it for something more essential if the book's gonna suck.

A lot of the stories are merely fan service; they pay homage to the characters, but don't really do so in a way that knocks you down or makes you think of the character in a new way. I guess I had a few problems with characters doing things that, to me, went too far into the realm of unrealistic wish-fulfillment rather than something that would be genuinely in-character for that person.
About character representation: This volume is largely Phoenix and Maya centric. Most of the stories feature one or both of them. Pearls and Edgeworth are of course very popular, and so they see a fair share of representation as well. Franzy shows up almost as often as Edgy. Godot gets a few throwaway gags. There are also a few fan-inserted characters (largely witnesses/defendants). There aren't any characters from GS4/Apollo Justice, so if you were hoping to see Apollo, Trucy, or Ema, you might be disappointed. In general, the most character representation is from GS1 and 2.

Overall, I definitely thought this volume was worth the money.

But my fav. was definitly the one with oldbag. It, in my opinion, was the best story and art. Althought the one with chibi art was CUTE!
It was OK. I don't regret buying it, but some stories were kind of dumb.

Anyway, I'm halfway through it, and Turnabout Kitten is the only one so far that I didn't like.
I don't know how it made it, but the characters (pretty much all of them, maybe except Phoenix and Larry) were OOC.
Well, it wasn't bad, and it looked good, but it just wasn't a believable part of the saga.

Trysta Parsons = Sad Person
Triste also means sad in Spanish and probably a few other languages, for what it's worth.

That actually makes a lot of sense and it does work well for the story. Thanks for clearing this up for me.

Calling this the 'official case files' was a definite misnomer though. It's very unofficial gag comics by fans. The blurb says '20 exciting cases' but only a few actually have court cases and it's all kind of crack. A definite must-have, however. The English version is hilarious. The title of the blurb is OBJECTION! and between every comic is a page with the big OBJECTION! symbol. So over the top.. I love it. My favourite comics thus far are the one where Phoenix has a cold and the one where Phoenix gets the 'waterfall'. The Oldbag one was kind of good too. The fact they're fan-drawn doesn't detract because each artists' style has its own appreciable quirks.

Yes.
I wish they'd translate them!

Was it Capcom who selected and translated the doujins?
If so, and it sells good enough, maybe they might translate the official manga, too?
That'd be great!

Capcom in Japan obviously had some kind of contest where they selected fan-drawn mangas to be published in an official doujin anthology. Then Del Rey translated these into English.
I wish they'd translate the official fanbooks instead. They look awesome. I'd love to know the stories that go with those pics...
I've got to say, I liked the story where Maya channels Gumshoe. Phoenix: "My eyes have been poisoned!"
