Here's hoping they're better than Titan Comics and don't use AI to translate whatever they license.

Would be cool if these guys could work with Kraken Books and put Gash Bell back into print, preferably uncut and complete this time!

Zatch Bell! and Viz still owns the license to it though canceled the publication after 25 volumes (probably due to low sales or w/e), so viz may very well hand over the license to them and publish the kanzenban edition and probably publish the sequel as well |

These are the folks that got the license to do a Gatchaman (not Battle of the Planets or G-Force, Gatchaman) comic. I guess this is their way of expanding those relationships.

Viz didn't cancel it due to sales, it got cancelled because of Raiku's lawsuit with Shogakukan. Shogakukan lost all rights to the series and Viz subsequently lost their license as it was administered through them; there was effectively no party for it to be licensed from and they had to drop it. 3 further volumes were even ready and had covers posted online before it all got swept under the rug abruptly. |

While nothing's been officially announced yet, Nakama Press actually put up a video on YouTube a few days ago (& likely forgot to make it private; whoops!) that's since been discovered & reveals what their initial manga licenses are, three of which have been ID-ed:
Infini-T Force by Ukyou Kodachi & Tatsuma Ejiri (this would be a license rescue, since Udon previously released the first four volumes years ago, but never finished it) Indigo by Chi-kit Kwong & Chi-ho Kwong The Architect's Epiphany by Chi-kit Kwong & Chi-ho Kwong There also look to be two other titles seen in the video that have yet to be properly ID-ed. Normally, I'd try not to publicize this kind of "leak", out of respect to the licensing company, but Nakama pretty much did it themselves by not making the video private. |

Oh so that what happened, that sucks. Hope that someone whether through viz or nakama press or whoever can bring this classic gem back into english... one day. |
