Hopefully, their edition of KOR is more professional than the Kindle release. And with better resolution, too. And faster.

Damn, shame this isn't in print, hopefully it sells well.... I have no way to read legit digital manga, so I still need print books and would really like Kimagure and especially Sweet Blue Flowers (it'd match my Wandering Son collection)

I'd probably be more annoyed at the prospect of Kimagure Orange Road not getting a physical release if I didn't already have a physical release of all 18 volumes that I bought over a decade ago in French.

Tenchi: DMP already got burned going that route with Itazura na Kiss, so it has to sell like hotcakes to justify a print. Believe me when I say though, that Matsumoto is just glad to have a chance to get paid again. And maybe find someone still interested in his work, 'cus it ain't in Japan.

For all the yaoi they put out, they couldn't have bothered to give one of the big yuri titles a print run? C'mon DMP.....

As much as a I like yuri, it just doesn't sell very well in the English-language manga market. The only real hits have been Milk Morinaga's stuff.

Well, there also hasn't been any good yuri other than Morinaga's released. Sweet Blue Flowers deserves better than this and Sasameki Koto really needs to be licensed.

Sasameki Koto has been licensed by One Peace Books, and the first omnibus will be out in May.

Awesome! Now I will have my three favorite yuri manga in legal form! (Girl Friends, Whispered Words (Sasameki Koto), and Aoi Hana) Well, until Citrus gets a bit further into the story... It may knock one of them out...
I have Sasameki Koto on order already.

It's nice Digital Manga listened to the requests for a release calendar for digital titles.

I curious about it too. But, judging from the cover it doesn't have any of their imprint logos on it. KOR was also never mentioned before, so I'm more inclined to think they are just distributing it as well. KOR popped up on Nook recently with Digital Manga listed as the publisher (and erroneously labeled as "Shoujo Manga") but, it doesn't offer a sample. If eManga doesn't offer it downloadable (similar to the Harlequin titles from SB Creative Corp. on eManga being web only) I won't buy KOR from them either.

Well, I have KOR in the 10 volume Wide ban edition from Japan. Diamond sold it several years ago. Paired with the text translation that is or was on the net it is serviceable, but a hard way to read a book. I may check this out.
You can't beat print for good resolution though.

BTW, I occasionally "correspond" with the KOR author in "Google-ese", and here's what he had to say:
| Quote: | | "Kimagure Orange Road" is the 30th anniversary this year. I will do my best so that it is carried out in the country the event, you can go to overseas anime • manga event. |

I read mostly print books, but still,,,do you not have a computer? Since eManga's downloads are a DRM-free format that isn't tied to any device.

So do Digital manga make physical releases ? I would love to own KOR on physical release. Though if they only released digitally it is still ok with me.
