Good news, it's going to flop really hard though.
I mean, no one punching people? no edgelord cannibals? A manga about Rakugo of all things? The US won't buy it. |

Excellent news! That'll definitely be going on my shopping list. Great to see stuff like this getting the respect it deserves.

For a second I thought someone had licensed the SGRS anime, but this is good news for manga buyers.
I normally don't buy manga, but I would consider buying this one to support the work. |

May, so a couple of months after S2 wraps - sounds good to me
 This one is a hard series to describe, but S1 of the anime became addictive.
I have to say, digital releases have gotten me almost back to my old level of manga consumption. |

One of the best bromance manga/anime I've come across.

I already pre-orderd the first two volumes this is one of those series you have to become almost evangelistic about it with your friends local book stores social media. Get the word out and support it when it comes out and before it comes out.
pre-orders are actually really important in gauging the interest in a series for a publisher. Also glad to see that The Rakugo Kyokai Association will be supervising the localization of the Manga. |

I love the manga and the anime so this is great news. Also great that one of Kumota's works is getting licensed. I hope they translate the whole series but I'm gonna keep my expectations realistic.

Definitely getting this but as much as I'd love to get print may have to settle for digital. No room...although it is only 10 volumes.

I'm surprised that Kodansha USA even licensed this manga. It's about an art form that most Americans don't know a lot about. People like me are going to have a hard time wrapping our heads around this sort of thing. And this from someone who wanted to be a comedian when he was little.
