Good! About time. I have couple of her tankobons back in the 90s, but I could never get the full flavor of her stories due to my incomplete command of the Japanese. Uchida's art and stories is a class to herself for josei manga. Thank you!

I wonder if they will finish this one or just leave us hanging like they did with Wandering Son.

It's only one volume, so I imagine they'll finish it.

Yes, it's a bummer about Wandering Son's sales being too slow to sustain publishing the series. I wonder if the audience for it might be bigger today.

They're publishing Higa Susumu's Okinawa too in July.

(There would certainly be audience for Wandering Son but maybe not if it continues with an expensive hard cover format as they tried it already.)

Yes, the deluxe, oversized, hard cover release is likely what killed Wandering Son. It was nice but I would rather have seen a standard soft cover release if it meant completing it. The last volume they issued ended in a cliff hanger even.
