Seeing as Seven Seas is licensing novels for physical release that J-Manga Club licensed first for digital release, are they using the same translations for the physical copies or are they doing their own? I ask because the first two volumes of Clockwork Planet are out digitally but the physical books won't be out until next year.
*J-Novel
Pretty sure it's the same, just printed. No reason for it not to be.
That helps, then, since I'd rather have the digital copies anyway and I wasn't sure if there would be any differences if I waited or not.
