Vertical, Inc. Publishing [General Thread]

[ToAruOni]

Vertical has once again launched their license-request window, and as usual, Ed is taking requests on the Vertical twitter account, on the ANN forum, Facebook page and also asking people to take the official poll.

Interesting note of the ANN thread, is that a few hints were dropped for upcoming licenses:

We've got two more josei titles to announce at Katsucon.

And then there is UtsuBora before Helter Skelter.

(Via ANN forums)

We are owned by Kodansha, so go for it.

And we will announce our first Hakusensha title at Katsucon.

(Via ANN forums)

Edit: Just to clarify, the Hakusensha title is not one of the two josei licenses.

On another note, Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin, volume 3: Ramba Ral is now available for pre-order on Amazon (solicited for September 17, 2013).

A few other people have found this and have asked, as well. For the time being, we're just waiting on Vertical to announce this officially.

I really liked the movie, so this can be a potential buy. Now to know how good it is and if there is something in it that was not in the movie.

It's a Sadamoto manga iirc, right?

No, he just did the character designs. It's from Sugimoto Iqura/Ikura.

[AKX20000]

Huh.

I may be thinking of another series he did the character designs for that's not Evangelion then.

That, or I'm just completely misremembering things.
