Are you serious? Or joking. I can't tell!
Nope. No pics of Akira in the shower. You'll just have to settle for the bath pic, and the one where she's taking her shirt off.

So, to the people that have a copy of Mutation, were there any translation mistakes like the one seen in the previous novel?
If what Shinshou said earlier in this thread is true, then they have no excuse to make errors of the level that were in the first book. I mean, geez, there really wasen't even an excuse for the mistakes they made in the first novel!
Tokyopop's been the sole distributer of .Hack books and manga here in the State's, so you'd think they'd had hired some editers that were familar with the franchise. But Tokyopop's known for having a hit or miss record with their releases, so I can't say that I'm suprised they'd made so many translation mistakes. >__>
Eh, excusing my rant against TP, I'm very glad that theres a company here in the US willing to translate and distribute all of the .hack novel's here. Despite the translation errors, I'm very happy with TP's job and I can't wait to get my hands on the Mutation novel.

Yeah, different wording doesn't really bother me. In spoken dialogue you can have things sound correct, but in print they look off sometimes. I don't count those as mistakes as long as the basic meaning is still the same.

I take it from the lack of uproar that there were no major mistakes in volume 2. In that case, it would seem that the biggest mistake is on the credits page, where the consultants are not mentioned.
