Just got my copy earlier today. Scan turned out much better than the commemorative book. And, as I had guessed, this book was a reprint of the 25th anniversary comic, so that made my job much easier.

Anyway, about the book. First 15 pages are entirely new content. Something about the girls preparing for an "event" by making prints of Il Palazzo. Nice callback to Excel's inability to draw from whenever that was mentioned. Rest of the book is the 25th anniversary comic -- something about making a viral video. I imagine this would be really funny if I could understand what they were saying, but alas... And there's some note at the end by Rikudou Koushi about comiket and some sketches.

Also, it seems like Rikudou's art style has evolved after all this time. I can't exactly place it, but there's a noticeable difference between this and volume 27 for instance.

By itself it's nothing special. But this is, to my knowledge, the first new Excel Saga content in a long time. It's almost melancholic, seeing them all still getting into wacky situations long after the end.

Overall, it was well worth the $40 I spent on it.
