To take a phrase from a friend, welcome to our second birth! Weekly Shogakukan Edition is now Strict Algorithm LLC. As noted on the quoted tweet, not much will change (not even the @) --this is to be legally distinct from Shogakukan. We'll still be doing threads, contests, and translations as always. Shogakukan is still going to be the key focus, *but* with this new name the hope is going forward we'll be applying our talents to J-culture/media of all kinds and publishers! Big thanks to @andysislands for the awesome transitional gif, and @soragsilverwind for the new logo.
