I'd recommend Otouto no Otto, aka My Brother's Husband, for a spot on this list. It's about a single father that receives a visit from his recently deceased twin brother's Canadian husband. He's put off at first but over time he comes to accept his new family member and learns plenty about the LGBT lifestyle along the way. It's written by an openly gay manga-ka so the subject matter is handled well. It has bara style artwork so that might turn off some but it's definitely work a look.

I'm not sure all of these series are something I would enjoy, but Flowers for Seri sounds pretty neat.
My personal choices would be: Good Luck Girl! (aka Binbougami Gah!); a hilarious and emotional series with great art, which had a (i believe) pretty successful anime release. Sadly, i don't think this one will be picked up; it's pretty long. The second would be World Embryo. I consider this to be a Madoka Magica-level deconstruction of the shonen battle manga genre, and I like it a lot. It's emotional moments hit very hard, and I don't think anyone else has attempted a manga like this. Again, like GlG, this one is kinda long, so i don't expect this to be picked up either. |

Yes to Last Quarter!
It's mind boggling that no other Ai Yazawa works ever made it to America, especially when Paradise Kiss did so well and Nana was at its zenith. I assumed the asking price was too high because Yazawa was queen of shojo during the 00's, but Vertical was able to rescue ParaKiss later, so what gives? |

For shoujo and josei fans, to say nothing of yuri readers and, to a lesser degree, seinen lovers, it can be particularly frustrating
I don't think I'm really going out on a limb here if I say that many manga fans in the US don't really care for shoujo/josei/yuri. Would it be too much to ask for a similar list of "seven manga that need an English release right now" that *aren't* just picked because they are shoujo/josei/yuri? I'd give a LOT to see an English-language release of Tezuka's take on Crime and Punishment. Or even just a couple of Leiji Matsumoto's World War 2 manga! |

Last Quarter is one of my favourite series of all time. I'd also love Gokinjo Monogatari to be released too. Heck, just bring over Ai Yazawa's entire back catalogue and I'll be happy, especially since it looks like Nana will never end.
@merr - ParaKiss was published by a different publisher in Japan than Yazawa's other works. TL; DR it's Viz or nothing for everything else, so if they aren't interested... |

But what about Beelzebub.
I just want more Inio Asano manga stateside. Another pick would be NisiOisiN/Akira Akatsuki's new manga Shounen Shoujo |

I personally would like to read/purchase more Josei and Seinen manga. Harlequin types some, too. I've already had my fill of Shojo and that demographic is starting to bore me. Last edited by Animechic420 on Wed Jun 15, 2016 11:14 am; edited 1 time in total |

Would love Teppu, but female mma is probably not popular enough to warrant it (even though the mma part is the least interesting part of the manga).
I also really like legend of the sun knight, but I wouldn't say its particularly good, so the odd of it being brought over are pretty low. |

Great list, found a bunch of things I'd like to try out. As for things I'd love to see localised, I have a massive list.
Here's some I think would actually do well: Ran to Haiiro no Sekai Sekine-Kun no Koi Spirit Cirlce Dead Dead Demon's Dededededestruction And here's a few that will never happen, but I'd love to see: Onani Master Kurosawa Molester Man |

Rash!! is a cancelled series, it will never have a license.

I wouldn't mind official releases of ALL Transformers and Gundam manga. I'd like to have Bitter Virgin and Captain Tsubasa on my shelf, too.

I love the Beelzebub manga too, but i think most licensing companies wouldn't want to pick up a series that's so long (very risky; what if the early volumes don't sell?). While were dreaming here, yeah that would be awesome, but it probably isn't realistic. |
