Ed Chavez from Vertical, Inc has been talking on Twitter and here at Mania about finding out what manga licenses people want to see picked up by the New York based publisher. You can view the discussion thread here or check out Ed on Twitter @Vertical_Ed:

"Hey Manga on AOD Maniacs,
I'm sure most of you are not following Vertical on our twitter feed (handle vertical_ed), so I wanted to give you all an opportunity to submit suggestions for future Vertical manga licenses.
My license window for new Summer 2011 licenses has opened and I am looking for up to 4 new titles. But before you provide your recommendations please read the following...
No titles from Shueisha or Shogakukan as we don't have access to Viz's parent companies; No titles from SquareEnix, as these should go to Yen Press; No titles from Gentosha or MagGarden, as Tokyopop has contracts with them; and as a rule of thumb we generally cannot afford to license titles longer than 20 volumes (we literally don't have that kind of money...I'd rather hire 4-5 full-time employees with the same amount of cash).
Please feel free to request contemporary titles, as we are expanding that line of comics. And if you do recommend a classic, just make sure it is really short (less than 5 vols long).
I'm looking forward to your suggestions and happy hunting!
Ed"
A continuation of "Hanaukyo Maids" would be nice. (Discontinued from Studio Ironcat and only 14 volumes long.)
And then there's Galaxy Angel II (adapted into the anti-shounen Rune animu). Unknown number of volumes.
And "E's" (adapted into the anime E's Otherwise). 16 volumes.
I wish you luck, Ed. :)
I have to admit that this is a smart move Actually asking fans what they want to see. I hope others follow
