This book claims to be based on the “New Revised Edition of Conan’s Complete Works” (Tokyo Sogensha, 2006-13)” and is completely revised by translator Nakamura Toru.

It’s mostly just a re-issue of the six volumes series that came out in 2009. Probably an updated version where the translator fixed some earlier mistakes and whose translation is a hybrid between an already existing translation and the text of the Wandering Star editions. As the majority of the “edits” found in the Wandering Star/DelRey editions are commas or colons, this doesn’t affect the translation at all).

New materials will also be added and sent in four volumes. The works collected in the first volume “Fū Un Hen” are as follows:
