I saw this anime in the spring preview guide, and I think I'm in love. It's absolutely adorable. I have two questions, and I'm hoping to get some answers. Just to make it clear, my questions are about the manga, not the anime.

1) Is there any chance that this series will get licensed in the US? I would love to have this series.

2) How many pages are in one volume? And, I read that the volumes are in full color, is this true? I ask because I'm looking at importing the four volumes from Japan, but the price is kind of high, and I would like to know how much I'll be getting for what I pay. Also, if you can recommend a good site to buy import manga, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks!

Well, according to this link: http://us.yesasia.com/en/Search/SearchResult.aspx their is a colored edition and for ten dollars per volume that doesn't sound too pricey to me (though I'd be reluctant to spend forty bucks for something i can't read). And I don't think there is much chance either the anime or the manga gets licensed.

Thank you so much for that site, I can get free shipping on an order over $25 (which would be the whole series). Yeah, it is a lot for something I can't read, but I know that I won't be able to get it other wise. And from what I've seen, what's going on can be understood somewhat through the pictures alone.

Does anyone else know how many pages are in each volume? The encyclopedia lists 154 as the page count. Does this sound right?

These Morning pages say the number of pages of each tankōbon, too. 'ページ数' is the number of pages.

(Volume 5 will be released soon.)

Amazon.co.jp deals in the Japanese edition.

Amazon.co.jp also has a guide for foreign customers.

I don't know where you live in the USA, but searching Kinokuniya's site for the books too may not be a bad idea.
