I'm been wanting to pick up a translation of the novel Battle Royale by Koushun Takami for a while but when I searched for it on Amazon, there are 3 different editions: 2003, 2009, and 2014.
I was initially going to go for the 2014 edition; afterall, newer translation should improve upon an older translation, right? But then I noticed that the 2009 version has 632 pages while the 2014 version has 600 pages. 30 pages is a substantial amount of content so now it makes me wonder what I would be missing out on.
Has anybody purchased these translations or know what's in those 30 pages? If it's just a Foreword, I wouldn't really care but if it's like maps or art work or other fan related stuff, then it would make a big difference to me as I love those extra artsy stuff.
