Transition to Dr. Master, stay as ComicsOne, stand on your head and sing "Kid Charlemagne" by Steely Dan backwards for all I care, just friggin' improve the distributorship.
There is NO damnable reason why I shouldn't be able to get Top Speed at my local Waldenbooks. |

The 'clarification' raises more questions than the Diamond press release. Is ComicsOne simply not licensing any new properties, or are they not releasing any more books in the series that they currently publish? Why is the printer taking over the responsibilities of a publisher? Is Dr.Master taking over ComicsOne, or have they simply acquired their properties? Why the conflicting reports of ownership in the ANN article, and the Beat blog entry? Who came up with the name 'Dr.Master?'
The mind boggles.

...and what about Infinite Ryvius? Sure, it's a terrible manga unless you've seen the original anime, but I still want the second one! It was supposed to be coming out this month!

What about all the series that they abandoned? Are these forever lost? Or is it possible that they might finally finish them?

Personally, I just hope Dr. Master does a better job of assessing the market, cus Onegai Teacher was the only thing holding that company together. To be fair though, it didn't help that Miramaxe kept pushing back Shaolin Soccer and Hero, since it probably hurt sales for their comics.

Just as long as they keep publishing "Iron Wok Jan", I'll be a happy man.

So, who is it that I am supposed to buy the Onegai Teacher manga and novel, and the Onegai Twins novel from?
Or should I buy it from a traditional B&M store or from Overstock.com or ComicsOne itself? |

My best understanding of this is:
ComicsOne will continue to exist They will continue to publish their older titles They will finish some of their current titles They will continue to license & release new Kung Fu Comics They won't license any more manga DrMaster will finish some of ComicOne's current titles DrMaster will license new manga -t |

What's even more interesting is even though ComicsOne Onegai Teacher Novel and Manga and theTwins Novel is dirt cheap, with shipping it is $26.30 and at Overstock.com, they are about twice as much, but it's only $2.00 more overall.

Did you know you could get both of the Onegai Teacher manga and the Onegai Teacher novel from dollarmanga.com for $3 each? |
