Is it Licensed? How many volumes? Ask the GN Comparison Chart! - RETIRED

[Kiril]

Two common questions that come up in this forum are "Is this title licensed yet?" and "How many volumes is this title?" All of the information (and more!) is compiled into one handy resource: the Graphic Novel Comparison Chart (http://www.animeondvd.com/specials/manga/compcharts.php)!

The Graphic Novel Comparison Chart is designed to serve as a resource for people buying US published graphic novels of Japanese manga, Korean manhwa, and Chinese manhua. The main intent is to provide a list of titles that are both published and have completed their publishing run while listing how many volumes there are in the US run and noting how many there are in the Japanese (or Korean or Chinese as appropriate) run.

There is a lot of information in the chart, and some things may be out of date. In addition, we frequently get news of new titles being licensed. This thread is for all updates to the GN Comparison Chart.

For those wanting to help out, just check out the chart and let us know when something needs to be added or changed. We'd like to make sure that the information there is as complete and correct as possible. There are three general areas of information that need to be checked.

1) Title Additions and Corrections: Please let us know if there are missing titles, incorrect titles, etc.

2) Volume Information: Please check that the Orig Count and US Count are correct. One concern is that many titles are still ongoing in their original release, and we specify that by including a + symbol. Also, any US release that was stopped before completion should have a - symbol. If any of our current information is incomplete or incorrect please let us know.

3) Current Series: In addtion to all of the above, it is useful know which series are still in translation progress. We're indicating this by including a * symbol next to the US Count if translation is still in progress. Did we catch them all or is there something missing?

And of course, any corrections not covered by the above categories are appreciated.

Not finished, still running in the magazine (about volume 9 or 10 or so currently). It's one of the most popular titles currently so I think it will be long. And judging from where I left of in book 4, there's a lot of things coming storywise.

I'm almost sure Beauty is the Beast ended at vol 4.

Can anyone confirm whether or not Immortal Rain is still ongoing? The Comparison chart hasn't been updated from 5+ though volume 6 just came out in English. The Tokyopop site doesn't list any volumes beyond 6 but is that simply because we are caught up with Japan or because the series is now complete?

Two new Fanfare additions:

First one, Japan, looks like a short story anthology from Japanese and it looks like mostly French creators. No volume count. (Bunch of people from Moyoko Anno to Taiyo Matsumoto to Jiro Taniguchi in this one.) Probably no single original publisher.

Vague Terrain from Hideji Oda is the other. No volume count. Can't find any information on it, but going by his other listed work, Kakusen and COO no Sekai, Afternoon is probably the original publisher.

Also, the asterisks can be removed from Blue and The Walking Man, one-shots both.

No, it's not! "Vague Terrain" is a project Hideji Oda draws exclusively for Ponent Mon and Casterman (although Oda did confirm that a Japanese edition will be published afterwards; the tentative Japanese title will be "Yume no akichi"). It's supposed to be a continuation of "Coo's World" (the third volume that was rumored to be in preparation for years, Andrew C. could probably confirm this /images/graemlins/happy.gif).

Stumbled across this by accident: the japanese volume 9 (http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/4063347214/) of "What's Michael" came out in 2003. Don't know if the series is still ongoing, though.

Also, wouldn't it be better to delete the entry for "3x3 Eyes (resized)"? IIRC it was established beyond reasonable doubt by now that the new edition is not going to happen.

Hopefully this is the correct thread in which to ask this question.

How many volumes of the Fullmetal Alchemist novels have been released in Japan? Are they still being written?

I'm not actually sure what the Comparison Chart's policy on novels is, to be honest. Slayers is listed under Tokyopop, but Socrates in Love isn't listed under Viz, for example. (Well, there is a mostly blank entry for it, but I think that's for the manga.) There are categories for manga, manhwa, and manhua, but not novels.

I'd like to see novels added, as it appears that more and more will be published here, and it's useful to have a reference for them like we do manga, but ultimately that decision should be up to the maintainters and mods.

(oh and by the way the Socrates tab is actually for the novel because I wasn't initially aware there was a manga licensed but i'll fix that... now)

As far as the seperate category goes you might want to post this again in the site feedback forum so Chris and whoever designs the site can consider that option.

I just noticed there is no listing for Eternity, which I believe would be classified as a manhwa under the forum rules. Looks like at least 5 volumes and published by Daiwon I.C. - though I'm only guessing this as it was published in the same magazine as One according to TP.

(Edit: Probably a bad guess on publisher as it seems to be talking about a different series than what Tokyopop is publishing under the title "One").

The Suikoden III manga, which is published by Tokyopop, is listed in the chart as being complete at 9 volumes. Yet at the end of Volume 8, there's a note from the mangaka that it will take two more volumes to complete. So is it really finished at 9, or is there a tenth volume that's yet to come out in Japan?

Was Gakuen Alice licensed? I thought I heard Viz had it, but I not heard it about it since. Nobody has it for preorder.

*Sigh* I wish the manga and show were licensed. Maybe in the next industry upturn.

Just thought I'd ask here:

Which Wild Rock is by BLU? The one listed under "Tokyopop" or "other"? (If it's "other," I think Wild Rock is now complete at 1 volume, so the asterick is no longer needed.)

I noticed that some of the BLU (Shout Out Loud!, Shinobu) are listed as Tokyopop, and some (Gorgeous Carat, Love Mode, Earthian) are listed as other.

I couldn't find the listings for two from BLU: Menkui! and Man's Best Friend.

Kinda tricky when we find them at Amazon listed under TP (and some other sites call TP and BLU one and the same).

I'll fix that.

and wow did I miss those two titles cause I posted those on my site. Thanks for the info.

Crimson Hero is now 7+.

Tsuki no Shippo runs in Margaret and is 10+ and Beauty Pop is 5+ and runs in Ciao.

fixed crimson hero.
added shippo.

As far as I know Viz has not confirmed Beauty Pop. Email was sent in November 05 but they cannot confirm that one.

thanks

[doink-chan]

Well, the tankie releases of Beauty Pop are listed on the Shojo Beat calendar so I'd take that as a good sign that they have it.

Yup, volume 1 comes out in September, and volume 2 is in I think December with Tsuki no Shippo 1.

The calendar also lists something called "Shojo Beat Manga Artist Academy" for October, which I assume is that "how to draw" book they've been running in the magazine.

[Aiia]

Tokyopop has added 2 more books by Reiko Momochi to their Confidential Confessions line up. It is her Deai series, 2 volumes long. She has released other stuff after that so I'm quite sure its finished.

I bought it once, didn't feel like reading it and gave it to a friend but I'll probably check out the english edition instead.

Manga Update:

According to Animaxis.com:

Aria Volume 8 has been released. Volume count is now 8+.

They were announced at Ohayocon, apparently, and are currently listed in the "insider" section of the DramaQueen forums (must register to read). Here's a link for those registered... clicky (http://onedramaqueen.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=208)
