From those "Parental Advisory" stickers, I'm guessing there's something rather saucy in these series.

Already have Kannazuki no Miko physical version (2 volumes) when TokyoPop released 'em.

Still have Saving Life: Volume 1 physical version. Would like to see more of its releases in physical version. :/

So, with these license rescues that are digital only, have any of them done new volumes at all? From what I hear, seems like Viz only does what were originally released by the previous publisher of a series.

Which, to me, makes Saving Life a weird one. Didn't TP only release 1 volume of the 3 volume series? If Viz aren't releasing new volumes for these series, seems like a waste...

Ah, Saving Life, I bought the first volume as soon as I saw it at my local manga store. Man, how many years has it been?

Not that I'm particularly interested in the series, but it was one of the few titles that I translated for the scanlation group I used to be active in, wanted to see how my amateurish work compared to the pros. Actually very embarrassed about my work on hindsight because the group wanted to retain all honorifics and adopt a more literal style, which made translating super awkward :/

From what I recall, it was mainly fanservice stuff, such as panty flashes, wet tshirts, MC walking in on a girl changing, etc...

I do. Collecting manga takes up way too much space when you have a ton of it. I only buy my absolute favorite titles as a physical book now. Everything else I get digitally.
