I don't know about any of these other manga, but I'm confused about Arte. Two years ago, there were three volumes released in English, digital-only... will this service release chapters past volume 3?

I remember when that other site hosted Arte to read online but they took it down and the way they released chapters was really weird and arbitrary. I'd really like a physical release- the manga's artwork is incredible. Holding a physical copy of the manga in my hands would be wonderful.

I’m glad to see “The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses” is licensed, but I would really prefer if there were a physical release as well.

Damn, I was hoping for a physical release of Arte.

I am curious too. They haven't released any of the Square Enix licenses either.

They have been premiering several new titles most weeks, but they are all manhwa. I wonder if they are having trouble finding people to translate/letter/etc. manga, considering complaints on Twitter a few months ago about how allegedly poor their working conditions are. Notably, Arte had a previous licensor, so perhaps they brought on those who previously worked on it (I am not sure though; I don't have the previous release to compare). Record of Ragnarok is also licensed by Viz, so maybe they are releasing the same chapters (though well ahead of Viz's digital release). The other manga began releasing before those.

I totally forgot to link in the Square Enix article too, good catch. I emailed their support, but I've never heard back from them in the past either, so not really holding my breath Sad
