| Are they actually calling it Fairy Tale or is that an error? |

| ...Air Gear Omnibus...Are They Gonna Start With Volume 1...They Haven't Even Finish Publishing To The 30+ Volumes... Only Thing Else I'm Gonna Buy Is Probably Sankarea |
 |
| Yay Vinland Saga get license ! Boho it will be out in an year from now :'( |
 |
| Sankarea is a nice surprise, I'm definitely gonna get the volumes despite the stupid subtitle. |
| Glad to see Sankarea is licensed! I've been wanting to give the manga a try! |
  |
| I think I got a little too excited when I saw No. 6 on that list. |
 |
Nayukuo said: You're not the only one, lol. I think I got a little too excited when I saw No. 6 on that list. Also, yes! I hope they finish publishing Air Gear. Still need to finish that. |
| VINLAND SAGA! TAKE MY MONEY! |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| The following manga have STILL not been licensed: Sora no Otoshimono To Love Ru, and To Love Ru Darkness Sekirei THE WORLD GOD ONLY KNOWS! Seriously, what is Kodansha, Yen Press, and Viz waiting for???? These are VERY POPULAR manga, especially TWGOK and To Love Ru Darkness....they would literally fly off the shelves! It's so frustrating! |
| FINALLY someone licenses no.6! *-* now i can buy the manga whenever it becomes available ^-^ |
| Never thought for one second Sankarea would get licensed so this good news, heard a lot about vinland saga so i'll give it a shot. But I have to say why are Kodansha USA giving us so little. weekly shonen magazine has tons of interesting ongoing series right now yet all we have is Cage of Eden and Fairy tail. give me any sports manga from WSM and I'll be very happy, Hajime no Ippo, Ahiru no Sora, Daiya no Ace, Area no Kishi or Baby Steps. plenty to choose from, all I ask is one. would really like them to release code: breaker or Kimi no iru machi as I'm a fan of both authors previous works (Samurai Deeper Kyo & Suzuka) point is Kodansha have so many manga why only 4, they should try to do a shonen magazine imprint like Viz do with Jump and even sunday though it pales compared to the jump line. though lately Viz are sliding with licenses as well, only 5 from the past 7 years of JUMP. (Bakuman, Nura, Toriko, Psyren & Ral Grad) and when will we get more shonen sunday manga (Magi, kenichi, kami nomi) cmon guys I need more manga filling my book shelves lets get a lot more series released please. |
JustALEX said: THE WORLD GOD ONLY KNOWS! Seriously. Where. |
| Very nice, will definitely be picking up Sankarea, Vinland Saga, and No. 6. I'm also in agreement with other posters here, would be nice to have more licenses. Not that I'm complaining mind you, glad that new titles are being brought out here. |
| This news got me so excited. I already have bought Vinland Saga in Japanese, but considering I don't understand it all too well, I can't wait to be able to pick up the english version as well. I'm also hoping to buy Fairy Tail at some point, so seeing a monthly release is a bonus. Sankarea is also another must-buy for me. |
| Thank you Viking God. Thank you so much. Vinland Saga is so bought. |
 |
| Wasn't Fairy Tail already publishing? Pretty sure I see it at Barnes & Nobles every time I'm there .-. And it's about time Sankarea gets an English release... but why such a shitty name? "Sankarea" is just fine. Why do English companies have to go and give such stupid titles to everything? |
JustALEX said: To Love Ru Darkness But it has TITS! How are they supposed to release something with TITS? Seriously, it's a borderline hentai. I believe it's not that easy to release those. |

I believe it's not that easy to release those. Hmm, I think they're also forgetting To LOVE-ru still hasn't even come out in English (besides the anime), so it wouldn't make sense to release the sequel before it. |
| Maybe I'll buy Sankarea. I didn't like the anime very much, but I'm still interested in the manga. The other stuff either doesn't look interesting to me or I already buy the series from a german publisher (Tokyo Mew Mew, Vinland Saga). BTW, I agree that a publisher should finally release Sora no Otoshimono and/or Sekirei...I love those series and want to buy the manga... |
 |
| Yay for Sankarea and No.6, may take a look when its out, might even buy. |
As it turns out, living was a punishment...  |
| Nº6 *.* |

| They better not mean they will start publishing the rest of Air Gear in omnibus format. I already cry everytime I see that last Del Rey omnibus in my collection, don't want even more omnibuses. [Edit] Good, they won't. |

| Last volume of Ghost Hunt where? |
 |
OMG!!!! HELL YEAH!! I'm so happy right now! |
| Tokyo Mew Mew A La Mode? Why -__- |

| HELL YES, Vinland Saga has finally been licensed. |
 |
| Sankarea and No.6! :D Waiting for the day when they license ONE of Shouoto Aya's works... |
| Any clues on the pace they will be releasing the Vinland Saga volumes? |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
Higashi_no_Kaze said: Any clues on the pace they will be releasing the Vinland Saga volumes? Not sure but my guess would be a pretty slow release as it is a monthly series. Maybe one every four to six months? |
| Yeah! That's a good news, I love Sankarea. JustALEX said: The following manga have STILL not been licensed: Sora no Otoshimono To Love Ru, and To Love Ru Darkness Sekirei THE WORLD GOD ONLY KNOWS! Seriously, what is Kodansha, Yen Press, and Viz waiting for???? 100% agree. I would love to have all of them. |
| NO.6 YES |
 |
| Fairy Tale...this is good news! :D |
 |
| no Magi? :'( |

Nyul said: JustALEX said: To Love Ru Darkness But it has TITS! How are they supposed to release something with TITS? Seriously, it's a borderline hentai. I believe it's not that easy to release those. There are PLENTY of English manga where tits are shown. The problem is that you have to sell it as "MATURE CONTENT". Also, the problem with To Love ru is that there are lolis in that manga and they show them nude on various occasions (Mikan and Nana especially). So actually, To Love Ru might never make it to the U.S.....unfortunately :( There shouldn't be any problems with TWGOK, Sekirei or Sora no Otoshimono though, I really don't know why they haven't released those. |
JustALEX said: Also, the problem with To Love ru is that there are lolis in that manga and they show them nude on various occasions (Mikan and Nana especially). So actually, To Love Ru might never make it to the U.S.....unfortunately :( . There are a lot of manga and anime with naked lolis in it. I'm surprised a lot of it comes out in English. Also, remember that TLR's anime has already come out in English, as well as the OVAs. AO968 said: What's wrong with the title? I think it sums up nicely what the story is all about, and it's a nice play on the whole undead theme. It's unnecessary. Having a short title, such as "Sankarea", will get people intrigued. They'll think, "Oh, Sankarea? What's this about? *opens up*" However, if you were to name it "Sankarea: moeass zombie girls doing moeass thangs", people will be like "Wut I don't want that filth..." The shorter the title, the more people will check it out. If you're being told what the content of the book is, then you're more likely NOT going to pick it up. What sellers want is for people to actually pick up the book and not just look at it and pass it up. People will pick up Sankarea and think "What does Sankarea mean? What's it about?" and then read through to find out it's the name of a girl. If I were to see a manga titled "Undying Love", I'd pass right by it, because it sounds like a badly titled fanfiction. Trust me: I know marketing. Brand said: Yes, and I wrote "Volumes will now be published monthly." Mmkay. I didn't know it wasn't publishing regularly *doesn't read Fairy Tale*. |
| VINLAND SAGA! Finnnnnnally. |
| Sailor Moon art book?! I'm buying it. |
