Watch the series.... read the manga!

Bilingual Manga - 2 Book Set
Chihayafuru manga, written and illustrated by Yuki Suetsugu

Yep, some time this year we're releasing Chihayafuru.
As soon as we put the dvd up on our site for pre-order, some lucky buyer gets the manga!

Well, that was definitely unexpected. Bravo to SV for licensing this in Australia. May have to keep my eyes on this and import it.

Nice license from them, sadly DVD only.

I will hold off importing this in the likelihood of it being picked up by NIS this summer

NISA is definitely a possible candidate. I can still see this unlicensed in North America as well (would like to be wrong).

Has DVD-only been confirmed yet?

Maybe not, I just thought it would be after reading this part of the OP:

I guess we don't know...

At this time we are not considering a Blu-ray release as the series has not received an English dub which is essential for us to try and recover the costs of a dual dvd/bd release.

Poo.

[Damius]

Well, I guess we have the answer...

Part 1 listed @ EzyDVD with a May 23rd release date (preliminary?).
