Oh, I didn't think of the third one. It's a good idea. Well, it's easier to do this with manga than BDs...

I always find it great that a 4-koma manga is turn into anime, after that I hope that each episode will be around 25 minutes over 2-5 minutes.

Yeah, in fact otaku half-jokingly use the phrase '布教用' (For propagation, for missions) in order to describe this copy.

Volume 2 of the tankōbon will be not published, because Volume 1 didn't sell well.

In the manga industry, it is possible that Volume X of the tankōbon of a manga is not published due to bad sales.

I want to see a North American publisher get a licence to release Kobako Totan's Sketchbook.

It would be the same for me. I saw the TV series and really liked it.

As I said before, Canadian Government Publishing Centre should get licences to release English and French editions of Sketchbook. (｀･ω･´)

It would be also nice to see a North American anime company get a licence to release DVDs/BDs of Sketchbook ～full colour's～.
The BDs of Sketchbook ～full colour's～ have been not yet released even in Japan, though.
