Ah! I remember hearing about this one and briefly looking into it. The series is very diverse, and uses identities from across the LGBTQ+ spectrum. It seems keen on both telling a story and educating its readers. And it's the only manga I know of that uses "asexual" as an identity. Though, having just googled the author, it turns out they identify as x-gender/non-binary and asexual, which I had no idea. So that's neat.

I'll definitely be picking it up.

I'm interested! According to their Twitter, this was their #1 request on their monthly survey.

Though I must admit, Nabari no Ou's manga didn't quite do it for me. I think it was too many ninja sides that I had too much trouble caring about that made it difficult for me to follow. But I think she shows a lot of potential as a mangaka for me, I just wasn't into ninja politics, but this topic seems a lot more interesting to me.

And 10 more Seven Seas licenses in a week (also on their Twitter)? I'm quite eager to see what they come up with! Although nothing I've ever put on their monthly surveys has ever been licensed. It's possible that by commenting it online, I'll trigger fate in my favor. They've also teased light novel stuff, so I'm still hoping on Kino's Journey (a new anime might help encourage that one) and Twelve Kingdoms, both things that Tokyopop dropped. But I keep filling out the surveys in hopes that I'll win a free book at one point....

This is fantastic! Seven Seas has been hitting it out of the park in terms of licensing LGBTQ+ focused manga.

Excellent! I'll be happy to check this out. In the meantime, I'm trying NnO, though I'm not sure if ninja clans is up my alley (we'll see).

Super exciting! It's only recently that I heard about this title, but it immediately jumped near the top of my list of things I'd love to read.

This caught me by surprise. I have no problem believing it's a highly requested title, but if I had had to guess what #1 is, I would have named something along the lines of Date A Live.

One where I've seen it used is Scum's Wish décor.

I've been wanting to read this manga, and I'm so happy I'll finally have the chance. I only wish it was coming out sooner. Razz
