With all the Takao Saito titles JManga has, I'm surprised Golgo 13 isn't one of them.

I have to wonder, is there anyone in the US manga audience that was actually wishing for more of those Harlequin manga adaptations? I know a few of them got published in print over here, but to me it seems a bit superfluous, as Harlequin novels are pretty much a dime a dozen (quite literally, if you get them used). Not to mention that based on the titles that come up in these announcements, they are not picking the most current and/or progressive titles. No, these are the old-school, alpha male and weepy weak-willed heroine bearing, semi-rapey love scened, secret-baby-carrying, stereotype-laden titles that are not only cliche as hell anymore, but positively offensive to the modern reader.
I just feel that the space those titles are taking up could be used by ANYTHING else that would likely be far more interesting. |

We don't know the licensing and royalty agreements; it could be that JManga gets a bigger cut of Harlequin sales. Though I really do wish they'd flood the catalog with yuri for a change.

Some of those sound like ecchi titles that we would watch in Japan.
