Manga Revisited: Voices of a Distant Star

I've mentioned before how I seem ready to accept anime piles up faster than I can watch it but, convinced I can at least keep even with the manga I buy if I work at it, I don't often go back and read it over again. The most obvious exception to that is when a title I've read is licensed over again with promises of a new translation and perhaps improved production values. Vertical releasing a new edition of the "Voices of a Distant Star" manga did get my attention, but I suppose the not quite articulated respect I have for that company's licensing choices and presentation of which had to be weighed against knowing the manga was an adaptation of an "original anime," and the impression I've long had those adaptations are assigned to artists who can't quite manage titles of their own because the people in Japan too cheap to buy expensive disc releases don't deserve anything better. I still bought the manga anyway.
