Hmm, was hoping for Blast of Tempest to get picked up but oh well. And for some reason I thought Yen already have InuxBoku, it fits in well with their other titles, not sure if I'll get it since I tried a few chapters and the manga didn't grab me the same way the anime did. Hmmm.

I've been wanting to try WataMote, so that's a yes, as well as Wolf Children. People seemed to have been requesting Inu x Boku left and right, so good for them, too.

I had a feeling Yen would get Kingdom Hearts at some point, considering their relationship with Square Enix. That said, didn't Disney supervise Tokyopop's releases? I wonder if they'll be working closely with YP.

About time for Inu x Boku SS!

Tokyopop's Kingdom Hearts release was flipped, right? With Kingdom Hearts getting rescued, the chances of it reading from right to left seems all but guaranteed.

Youko x Boku, woohoo! (Though I guess they'll retitle it Inu x Boku to tie into the anime adaptation? Fine by me either way, I'm just grateful to be getting it!) Insta-buy.

Tokyopop didn't flip it; the original manga was actually drawn in western left-to-right format.

WateMote might be nice to pick up. I hope the anime can convey how utterly depressing and awful her life and outlook are.

Kingdom Hearts? YES!

I have always hated Tokyopop for stopping in the middle of Kingdom Hearts II, but Yen Press is now my new favorite company! And now I won't need to resort to scans. Smile

I too was hoping for a Zetsuen no Tempest/Blast of Tempest announcement, since I can see that series doing quite well for Yen Press. Oh well, it will probably happen eventually!

Yay for Kingdom Hearts! This news was unexpected for me and totally made my day.

I might also check out Wolf Children, but I still need to actually watch the movie. I guess it depends on how much I like the movie and on how long the manga series will be.

More Kingdom Hearts is great news! Tokyopop really effed up that series by stopping in the middle, despite it selling well. It's a crime for any part of that franchise to not be released here.

I'm already buying the French volumes for Inu X Boku so I won't double dip, but it's a very nice pickup for Yen Press. Very fitting for them, I hope it sells well.

Hope Inu x Boku is good.

I really like the way Yen Press does their books and with Bunny Drop ending and UraBoku catching up to the Japanese release soon..

I was at a loss.

Wish they would rescue Silver Diamond in their Omnibus Format. ^^;

WOW, YEN PRESS GOT KH. I never would have guessed that in a million years. I've only read a couple of their series but I wasn't thrilled with the translations [Honorifics kept in series that it shouldn't, an overuse of the word 'shit' is dialogue - to be fair this was also years ago] but I doubt that should be a problem with KH. Definitely buying this.

Whats the difference with the Final Mix version? Would that be worth a double dip?
