Seven Seas Entertainment - Your One-Stop Thread for 7S Manga

Would you guys consider licensing Aoi Hana, especially now it's finished (or close to)? I know it's long, but I think it'd be a good choice

PS. Are you going to publish any more of the Alice in the Country of... books? I know there's a few which haven't been released yet.

The past few years Seven Seas rescued one fan favourite after another (thank you, thank you, thank you!), so hopefully you won't mind if I ask for some more.

1. Immortal Rain
This one went down with Tokyopop's ship, so we never got the final volumes in English. And that's a horrible thing, because it's a great shojo series. Jason Thompson totally understands its awesomeness: animenewsnetwork.com/house-of-1000-manga/2010-11-04 It's a little over ten volumes and I know that's pushing it, but that's what omnibuses are for right?

2. Apothecarius Argentum
Another case of: this is a really good shojo series, but the English publication stopped at a major cliffhanger and now I really need to know how it ends! Like Immortal Rain it's a little over ten volumes, but only the first eight were published in English.

Sometimes I feel like the only person in the world who wants less yuri and moe stuff. For example, Witch Buster, I rented some from the library (as Witch Hunter before the trademark problem) and plan to buy the series. No one seems to be publishing much shonen manhwa, I'd like to see more of that. I can't really suggest any titles though, I'm not very familiar with manhwa in general. Yen publishes a lot of shojo manhwa, but the few shonen manhwa I've read I really liked.

I would love license rescues though, no idea if you can license rescue Future Diary, but I will love whoever does forever! There's 12 volumes and 2 side volumes, but Funi is about to release the anime, so that should get the manga attention. Tokyopop released the first 10 volumes, so I'd want two volume omnibuses ideally to prevent rebuying anything (having an overlap on v10, when Yen rescued Alice in the Country of Hearts, everyone felt their Tokyopop versions were immediately useless because Yen went oversized in two vol sets. With Viz rescuing Loveless though, they did 1-8 in two vol omnibuses and started from 9 with singles, which works great for people with Tokyopop's volumes and new people alike). Like I said, not sure if you can get this (Kadokawa Shoten?), but I don't think it's going far enough over 10 volumes to be a bad idea and the anime coming out will make people look for a manga which now doesn't exist.

While we're on the subject of license rescues, I realise this is probably totally unrealistic given how long they are, but what are the chances of you rescuing Gakuen Alice and Maid-sama?

Ok then, what about these titles:
Maoyuu Maou Yuusha (You Asami version) published by Enterbrain.

Maoyuu Maou Yuusha - "Kono Watashi no Mono Tonare, Yuusha yo" "Kotowaru!" (Akira Ishida version) published by Kadokawa Shoten.

And since you guys just licensed three military theme mangas, how about these?

Gunka no Baltzar by Nakajima Michitsune, published by Shinchosha (19th century Military warfare).

Kurogane Pukapuka Tai by Shinsuke Kurihashi, published by Ikaros Shuppan (WWII Naval combat with Yuri comedy)

Gate - Thus the JSDF Fought There by Takumi Yanai and Satoru Sao, published by Alpha Polis (Modern Armies VS Fantasy Armies and Creatures)

Sometimes I feel like the only person in the world who wants less yuri and moe stuff. For example, Witch Buster, I rented some from the library (as Witch Hunter before the trademark problem) and plan to buy the series. No one seems to be publishing much shonen manhwa, I'd like to see more of that. I can't really suggest any titles though, I'm not very familiar with manhwa in general. Yen publishes a lot of shojo manhwa, but the few shonen manhwa I've read I really liked.

I'd also be up for more manhwa. How well is My Boyfriend's a Vampire doing? I really enjoy that series
