Gatsu, you ignorant slut. http://www.aintitcool.com/node/36891 You probably shouldn't click that post button if you don't actually have any idea what you're talking about. Azumanga Daioh was popular, that's why it got an omnibus in the first place. Yotsuba& is reasonably popular, it's just that ADV wanted to focus on their core business of driving themselves into bankruptcy. |

I've got the same question, but I'd bet the manga. And I wonder if this "Crescent Moon Story" is the manga version of Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora, for the other two titles are both acquired from Kadokawa.
That sounds very alarming to me, reminding me this company. |

And also Full Metal Panic.  If I hadn't gotten to finish that one there would've been hell to pay.

About the Yen Press announcement for Spice and Wolf be the manga since they already announced the light novels a while back? (Not to mention having them and their publication dates already on their website for quite a while now?) Either way, I'm buying when it comes out since I think it's in line with my interests. Them picking up Yotsuba gives me a reason to get into it. (Now, if they could add Gunslinger Girl, I could begin constructing a proper shrine to them.) |

It's the manga. They announced the novels 4 months ago, so what else could it be? Besides:

Silly me that I didn't double check with the panel report. 
However, reading the description of this "Crescent Moon Story" doesn't quite sound like HanTsuki.

Man, I am loving Yen Press. I liked their style from the first book they released, and this is just even better news. Rapidly climbing to the top with Del Rey, imo.

I always figured ADV's downfall had more to do with them licensing everything under a blue moon as long as it fit the genre they were looking for wether it was good or not: Robots, Flashy fights, weird funny, slice of life funny, big glassy eyes, and boobs.
ADV got cocky with getting some now classic animes but then they went on a big crap spree acquiring series like Tokyo Underground, Gravion and other C- or lower series. Usually out weighing any decent series they acquired 4 to 1 at times. And there there was farscape and somewhat random live action japanese imports... ADV's fault was more in its approach rather then just blaming the anime economy or economy in general. In any case I'm happy we get Yotsuba again. Despite personal opinions and taste its will undoubtedly go down as a classic in manga like its predecessor. It might not be something you go back to all the time for its "intense story of and/or suspense/action/mysticism/epic-ness/whatever" but its definitely something you wouldn't regret having in your bookshelf. |

I have died and gone to heaven. I am SO happy to see Yotsuba&! coming back!
Was there a standing ovation when it was announced?

That's great that Yen Press got Yotsuba&!, but sure is going to be amusing seeing a sudden change of publishing company for the same series on my bookshelves since I already own the first 5 volumes ADV Manga published.
I hope Yen Press gets Azumanga Daioh too, missed out on both the individual volumes and the complete series omnibus ADV Manga published previously. |

I'll be very glad to get more Yotsuba, although it is a little sad to see ADV losing another good title- only a little, since their manga divison never did get their act together.
