I just picked up my copy of SuBLime's omnibus edition of Embracing Love! I just started reading it, and the quality looks really great--as others have mentioned, no censoring, and it looks like they've kept all the honorifics, and it lacks the weird random bolding of the BeBeautiful release. I haven't had time to do a complete point-by-point comparison yet, but the translation seems more detailed, and there a few small but significant differences: for example, in vol. 2, in the chapter about Katou's conflict with Kikuchi, in the scene where they resolve things with the producers, it says that Katou refused to work with Kikuchi, which makes it seem like Kikuchi left the movie. (In fact, my fanfiction series is based around this very idea.) However, in the new edition, it merely says, "He just wanted Kikuchi-san to stop causing trouble for us. Kikuchi-san agreed...and everything was wrapped up peacefully"--which makes it sound like Kikuchi remained in the cast on the condition that he behave himself. As I know from doing fan translations in the past myself, small differences in the translation can make a big difference in the story! (I may write up a more detailed comparison in the future.)

The more major change is that the omnibus is missing the non-Haru short story "Fence" (about two high school high-jumpers) that appears at the end of BB's vol. 1, and the "Afterthoughts" section that appears at the end of the original tankoban releases (and the BB versions). I sent a polite e-mail to SuBLime asking about the change, and editor Jennifer LeBlanc was kind enough to get back to me right away with this response: "Our version is the digital rerelease of the series that happened recently in Japan. What is in our books is what Sensei put in the new release. :-)" I just thought I'd share the information here in case anybody else was wondering about it. I'm a little disappointed about losing the "Afterthoughts" (though obviously that's not SuBLime's fault,) but overall I am still really happy about the new release, and look forward to reading it from cover to cover! ^_^
