Re: Eden is STILL Struggling
Yes, just like I buy Vagabond, Blade of the Immortal, and even Evangelion (if there ever is another volume), I would have no problem buying Eden on an extended schedule. Some things are worth waiting...

Re: Of cabinet shuffles and Abe
From what I've read, and seen on NHK news, it has very little to do with policies and everything to do with a sequence of scandals, particularly the problem with pensions at a time when large numbers...

Re: Manga Surge Fall 2007
I don't really follow yaoi so someone correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the great majority of yaoi 'series' only one volume? Whereas the majority of non-yaoi (licensed) series are multi-volume. If...

Re: Kino No Tabi Novels
This is an enormous jump. Is there any evidence of this? Is there even any evidence that TP didn't run that change by the author in the first place (As is often a legal requirement and has certainly...

Re: Viz has Death Note volume 13!
Since Viz hasn't cancelled any series since the start of the 'manga boom' while publishing at least 20 times as many series as any company but Tokyopop, that may rank as understatement of the year.

Re: Has the crackdown begun?
Like what? As long as there's no actual photography of actual minors pretty much nothing is illegal in America.
It may not be as available due to larger publishers and non-specialty retailers being...

Re: Kodomo no Jikan (Nymphet ) Cancelled

Re: DMP's ROBOT
Uh, no. They put Worst and IWGP on hiatus because they weren't selling well. Since it only had one volume left they finally put out volume 4 of IWGP after an extended delay, but it had nothing to do...

Re: DMP's ROBOT
DMP may be very reliable with their BL lines, I don't know as I don't follow that. But with non-BL, the only consistency is that they are unlikely to finish. IWGP is, I believe, the only non-BL title...

Good idea since not only does the OP acknowledge its a rumor but doesn't give his source -- making it unsourced internet rumor.

Re: Ichigo 100%
Bleach's 'Ichigo' is a different 'Ichigo' - different kanji. I'm also not sure it's a 'normal' Japanese male name. I can't remember ever seeing it used aside from Bleach.
