This last section was really long, so I broke it up into two parts. Anyway, Part One, Two, Three, and Four can be found here, here, here, and here. This section (and the next) deals with the new guidebook that will be coming out on the 27th of July! : )

PandoraHearts１８.５巻 Official Guide Evidenge
Pandora Hearts Volume 18.5 Official Guide Evidence
パンドラのファンブック２冊目が１８巻と同じ日に発売されます！
The second Pandora Hearts fanbook comes out the same day as volume 18!
前回の８.５巻を超えれるように編集さんと沢山沢山相談をして、いろーんなものを詰め込みました！
In order to surpass volume 8.5, I discussed many, many things with my editor, and we crammed it full of a variety of stuff.
特にうちのチーフアシスタント・山崎フミトが責任編集を務めるコーナーでは、アシさん達が好き勝手やらかしていたり、モノクロメイキングがあったり、きったない職場を盗撮されていたり(笑)と盛り沢山でございます。
In particular, my Chief Assistant – Yamasaki Fumito is in charge of editing and compiling one corner where my assistants can do whatever they want; there will be monochrome inkings, sneakily taken photos of our workplace (lol) and a variety of other things.
前回と同じくアシさんが関るページは自分はほぼノータッチなので、完成品をいただいた時に一読者として楽しませていただきました。
Being the same as last time, the assistants had pages that concerned them and which I had no say in, so when I got the finished product I was able to enjoy it as a reader.
自分もおまけ漫画やカバー裏など、８.５巻以上に色々描き下ろさせていただきました！
I have also drawn up specifically for this book omake (extra) comics, inside cover art [note: the little omake (extra) that are drawn on the actual covers of some manga, not on the outer covers…I think that’s what she means here anyway] and tons more things than were in volume 8.5.
おまけ漫画は本編では入れるタイミングがなくて描けなかったリーオの断髪時のエピソードをベースとしたほのぼの(？)話です。
The omake (extra) comic that I had been unable to draw, because I had could not fit it into the main plot due to not having the time [for it] is, at its base, a heartwarming (?) story about the episode when Leo got his hair cut.
「最近の本編ちょっと疲れるわ・・・」という方は是非こちらをご覧下さい。
To all the people who are saying, “Lately, the main plot of this story has been wearing me out a bit…” Please, by all means, take a look at this.
１６巻の特装版に付いたドラマCDのシナリオも挿絵付で収録されてります。
There will be a customized version of the scenario in the Drama CD that came with volume 16 along with illustrations.
特装版をお持ちの方はCDと併せてお読みになっていただけると、どこが声優さんのアドリブかが分かっておもしろいと思います。
This customized version of the [Drama] CD is for you to read in conjunction with the ad-libs from the voice actors and actresses that I know you will find amusing.
そして個人的に１８.５巻の目玉は・・・・・、
And, my personal favorite of volume 18.5…
