Have there been any further updates on this? They have a banner advertising the digital release of the EE on their website, but it just links you to the
preview on the main website for the manga's international digital release. I can't find any indication that they've released any of the e-books yet, nor any physical copies.
I know that the French translation just released volume 3 this month, and that translation appears to be an entirely digital release (at least so far) as I can't find any physical copies for sale anywhere. The German translation is apparently going to begin releasing this year, and that will be both a digital release and a hardcover physical release.
From the previews available, I quite like the French translation so far. I don't think the typesetting is quite as nice as the English release, but it's better than the German, and I think overall the translation seems pretty solid. It's not completely honorific-free, but it's a lot better than the English version. I'd definitely rather own the French editions, if only there were physical copies.
