When will Yotsuba&! come out? We don't know, and we're not going to lie about it.

I'm already buying the original Yotsuba volumes and the Daioh magazines they appear in so no loss for me.

You played with my emotions long enough. I've moved on, baby.

I've given up on ADV ever releaseing any more Yotsubato at this point, they're just holding onto the licence and pretending to do work in order to blue ball any other company from taking it away from them.

Much like how Tokyopop pretended to have World Embryo a while back, whilst we're on the subject, thanks, I was enjoying that series and I was going to buy the GN's when you guys realeased it...oh wait...

It's more than a little disappointing to see another company (ADV) not showing at the San Diego Comic Con. (Tokyopop being the other) I understand the need to save money, but the exposure to more than just anime / manga fans at this con also carries its own value.

I am sure they will, all they need to do is get rid of the series that aren't selling and emphasize quality over quanity.

Well, they're doomed to fail before they've even started, haven't they? I meen they threw out the only OEL manga worth a damn (Atomic King Daiodan) to the wolves of "Internet shop only (btw: Only for americans)" so It's clear they're run by idiots and Merry Sues (Don't think I don't see you there, DJ Milky).

Same here. I was nothing short of heart broken when I learned via www.deviantart.com that Ms. Kurkoski's My Cat Loki would not be completed; it being one of my favorite OEL manga/comics of all time (and I was truly surprised to learn that it hadn't sold very well).

Quote:
Although there are neither new licenses to announce nor titles that ADV Manga is currently working on acquiring, it remains committed to reprinting books that are already in its catalogue.

As far as the ADV matter, can I dare to hold out hope that this means there's at least a possibility of them re-releasing all of Desert Coral? I've wanted to complete my collection of it ever since I first picked up the 3 vols. released thus far.
