Yeah...Like I said don't expect license rescues. We generally are not interested.
On top of that, this book should still be under contract by Tokyopop. Didn't they release a volume in November? So...

Re: Kodansha and Dai Nippon Printing buy Vertical
Wow! You clearly haven't been following me online then.
There is no manga I dislike more than YKK. So no, that will not happen while I am here.

Re: Kodansha and Dai Nippon Printing buy Vertical
We are huge fans of ARIA (I know I reviewed some of it for this site at least once way way back in the day). But after two publishers have had issues with this series there is no way imaginable that...

Re: Inu-Yasha Question
Honestly unless Viz went bankrupt I doubt this title was ever even considered for the chopping block. InuYasha is still one of the best selling manga in the US. So Viz would have to be in big...

Re: Viz release dates getting pushed back?
Actually relatively speaking it did okay.
A book going out of print doesn't always mean that the book did poorly. In the best scenario it sold out its last printing, but sales were not consistently...
