I found out about it earlier due to Amazon listings, but wow it feels so insane to see Acid Town finally licensed in English. The series is great and I highly recommend it.

Tokyoslop back on their licensing as much crap as they can with sub-par localization and shabby print quality just like back in 2002.

I love how the description for Dead Company borrows from Ogi's Summer Break. :)

Oh my god, someone finally got OshiBudo. I was thinking that was just in some sort of licensing hell.

Dead Company is a sweet story about accepting yourself, didn't you know? Smile Even if you're a murderer wearing a rabbit head Smile

Tokyopop also just licensed Lullaby of the Dawn (Yoake no Uta) by Ichika Yuno. You can pre-order it on Barnes & Noble's website: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/lullaby-of-the-dawn-volume-1-ichika-yuno/1142524303

Oh no, I can't believe Tokyopop got Sengoku Youko. In fact, I'm impressed that Japanese publishers still trust Tokyopop with their properties. Has it really turned over a new leaf since its English-side publishing revival? I guess I'll have to actually buy Sengoku Youko to find out...

I was thinking they might have, but I remember they announced that they were bringing back the rising stars of manga back (edit: apparently entries closed 11 minutes ago) with an even lower grand prize than 20 years ago and Stu Levy is still editor in chief soooooo who knows.

I'm probably gonna break my no Tokyopop rule though just because I've been waiting so long for Acid Town that I can't pass it up
