Hi there,

Thought I'd post this here, but as we don't have an "official" English confirmation just yet, not sure if there'll be a resolution. I was just looking into Volume 17 that just came out today in Japan, and I noticed some of the chapter titles were not only changed but switched around. Not sure if anyone has seen this with other manga or even the other chapters of Blue Exorcist since its inception (I only jumped on this bandwagon last year).

Title change:

Chapter 76 was called "Distant Northern Goodbye" in English, which is a quite-literally translated version of the Japanese title of the chapter "Kita no Hazure de Sayounara". But the Japanese title from the collected volume now is "Sayonara Anata" which literally means "Goodbye (to) You".

Title switches:

Chapter 77 and 78's titles are now flipped in Volume 17. Chapter 77 was called "As If Begging for Tears" in English, from the Japanese "Nake to Bakari ni" and Chapter 78 was called "It's All Right If I Don't Come Back" in English, from the Japanese "Modore Naku te mo Mou Ii no", based on the monthly released versions of the chapters.

Chapter 75 in Volume 17 is also called "Kogoeru Kuchinawa", which is similar to what Chapter 79 is called ("Kogoe Sou na Kuchinawa" in Japanese,  "The Frozen Snake" in English ). Chapter 75 was originally called "Hearing Only the Blizzard" in English, "Fubuku Oto Dake wo Kii te Iru" in Japanese.

Here are some pics to show the pages in Volume 17. Not sure what to do moving forward, maybe even wait until the English release of Volume 17, most likely Q1/Q2 of 2017, but thought I'd point this out for maybe some discussion now.
