LaBH is the only one I recognize out of all those but that alone makes for good news. Still waiting on it to get an anime adaptation. Would certainly make for a nice change of pace compared to some of the other shows getting adapted.

Finally!
...Shame it's only on an online manga reader though. It deserves a book release, not this.

So far it seems like manga digital and print rights are unbundled ~ if it is, then someone who wants to pick up the print rights still could do it.

I hope so. I'm still not ready to embrace the digital model, and I would LOVE a print release.

>Biscuit Hammer

That was all I needed to see. I'm sold. You better believe I'm going to get it the moment it goes up next week on JManga. Though, I'd really prefer a physical copy (and proper license), so hopefully it does well enough online and some companies consider bringing it over to the States for a deserved license.

Regardless, happy to see the title finally getting some recognition. I love the art and story and I'm also happy for Mizukami Satoshi. Who knows, maybe we'll see his newer series (Sengoku Youko) appear on JManga (or even in book-form) or overseas sooner than later?

And agreed with above sentiment. STILL WAITING ON THAT ANIME ADAPTATION, JAPAN.

It's a shame Snoopy and Co left before we could finish it, though I think another group picked it up after us. Good to see it getting some light though Smile

I'm afraid that Sengoku Youko will not be appearing on JManga since it is a Mag Garden title, and also that Mag Garden has their own online manga portal.

I haven't cared about anything on JManga before, but Biscuit Hammer? I'm buying that the instant it comes out. Maybe if it sells well enough it may get a print license... I'd much prefer it in print form but I loved Biscuit Hammer enough to want to support it in ANY form in a language I can read! (I had seriously given up on Biscuit Hammer ever getting licensed in English, so I went and bought the Japanese volumes to have next to my scans.)

They've reportedly said that their yuri titles are strong sellers. I'd expect that is, paradoxically, because the yuri audience is so small in the US ... since its too small to support any appreciable number of titles in print, it only takes a few titles to attract the attention of people in that audience who want to support the titles.
