I took the survey
It is nice that you are allowed to request things. I am interested in a few light novels, which I would pay real $$ to read. Most desired - The Saiunkoku Monogatari (Story of Saiunkoku) novels by Sai Yukino or anything by Ryohgo Narita. As a person with a wine cellar, I LOVE Drops of God. Would love to have more - even if only by ebook. |

It's depressing that every time I fill out Vertical surveys and list YKK I know it has zero chance. And yet I also know that Vertical is basically the only chance the series has to get published in English unless Kodansha for some reason attempts it. Sigh.
Oh well, at least I no longer need to write Vinland Saga down. |

I've stopped hoping for YKK (I finally broke down and imported the whole series, and the OAVs) though I'd buy it in a heartbeat if anyone ever does translate it.
There wasn't a place for general comments on the survey, but I'd like to thank Vertical again for sticking with Twin Spica to the end. I love that series! |

I wanted to put Rose of Versailles as one of the titles I want to see here, but that title is owned by Shuiesha
I did put Chihayafuru as a title I want to see. I forgot to put Poyopoyo as a nother title I want to see x.x |

I always end up looking into things I know I want and discovering they are titles that aren't going to happen, at least not from Vertical.
We need Viz to do one of these things. |

Okay, filled out the survey even though it's my sister who has bought Vertical's titles(they have never licensed anything that I am interested in).
Put in my requests for Chihayafuru(I'd support that manga) and for the light novels of Oreimo and Durarara! |

haven't bought much manga, but I did buy Twin Spica... however I had no idea Vertical released a hardcover Queen's Blade art book until I took the survey
I've now placed it on my wish list

Took the opportunity to request Haru Akiyama's Octave manga. A real longshot, I know, but I really really wish someone would license it (it's not available in French either).

I requested...
* anything by Moyoco Anno * anything by Jiro Tanaguchi * anything by Moto Hagio I also asked for Kaze to Ki no Uta even though it's a Shougakukan title because it's so old. I wish I would've remembered to ask for Yawara! too. I assumed Viz would have rights to it since they published Urasawa's other work, but on Wiki it says it's published by Big Comic Spirits. Rats. |

I TRIED to fill out the survey, but when I answered "0" for number of Vertical titles purchased, the survey wouldn't let me go to the next page, stating that I had to answer the question, "What kind of Vertical titles have you purchased?"
?? Pretty pointless if you answer truthfully and it won't even let you finish the survey. |

I only put down one request; the rest of the Guin Saga light novels (volumes 6-130).

Vertical has pretty much said No to Chihayafuru, so I wouldn't get my hopes up. I think they said the series was too long for them.

Sorry about that. I should adjust that in future surveys. And while it is pointless for you it is useful to me, cause i still get a result. |

Even though Vertical has no intention of getting YKK I still put it down as one of the titles I'd like to see. I thoroughly enjoyed their release of Twin Spica and all the GTO releases so far and would like only them to release YKK even though the chances are pretty much next to none.
Like another has said, at least I don't have to put Vinland Saga down as well. I'd also be down for any Naoki Urasawa stuff.

I requested my favorite Asumiko Nakamura title and The Star of Cottonland.
Just realized I probably also should've requested Rainbow Parakeet... I'm not sure if Vertical's classic manga titles sell well but I'd like to buy more if they were available in english. I hope Heart of Thomas does well enough for Fantagraphics to look into licensing more 70s titles also. |
