I WISH.

notjaredmaybe.bsky.social•21 days ago

Clearly the people demand more Yas works be brought over. And by people I obviously mean me.

liamtasker.bsky.social•21 days ago

That sushi manga that's longer than One Piece.

figuref0ur.bsky.social•21 days ago

The back half of Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai.

marceorosa.bsky.social•21 days ago

Nice, here in Argentina we are already past 20 volumes and it's damn good.

berlitzxv.bsky.social•21 days ago

Anything Riyoko Ikeda.

ferretparty.bsky.social•21 days ago

Touch 😔 (i know it will never happen but i can dream)

kpossibles.bsky.social•21 days ago

I'll be there complaining about Slam Dunk and Hikaru no Go Kanzenban releases🏀

detectiveken.bsky.social•21 days ago

Time to start lobbying for Mitsuru Adachi's entire catalog

andrecomics.bsky.social•21 days ago

People better be preordering Short Game.

OR ELSE.

mugennoken.bsky.social•20 days ago

While cool, I cannot trust until it’s completed and out.

Sighs in Dragon Quest Dai.

dogbarkingbees.bsky.social•20 days ago

Dragon Quest was a tricky license - they only licensed the first few volumes with the rest contingent on sales and license owner approval.

So technically they did release everything they licensed. But it was still a very unconventional deal.

mugennoken.bsky.social•20 days ago

Ah yeah, i guess that scans. Still has made me super cagey when one of those older, influential big things gets licensed now.

mugennoken.bsky.social•20 days ago

(To be clear this does not mean to not support it; I just can’t trust.)

bauwerks.net•21 days ago

My knowledge of and experience with this title is exclusively the time I saw a copy propped up next to the entrance of some building in Tokyo during my vacation there years ago.

louelad.bsky.social•21 days ago

From a seinen perspective, I can only think of Jagaaan or Billy Bat. Other than that, the publishers have ticked most boxes

alpercy94.bsky.social•21 days ago

As someone who got into Urasawa after watching Yawara, it has always been my dream for it to be rereleased

landofobscusion.bsky.social•21 days ago

Saint Seiya: Next Dimension? I know some will keep asking for that one.

gavadon.bsky.social•21 days ago

It's me, asking for Sanctuary, Heat and Strain. The streets want Ryoichi Ikegami books!

minovskyarticle.bsky.social•21 days ago

IKEGAMI SPIDER-MAN WHEN?!?

gavadon.bsky.social•21 days ago

You and I in those replies.

midnitelibrary.bsky.social•21 days ago

I keep thinking I should track down more of the single issues.

andrecomics.bsky.social•21 days ago

I kind of assume the X-men manga happening increases the chances of that

debaoki.bsky.social•21 days ago

Can people just say “thank you” and just shut up about whatever else is on their wish list **for at least a week?** Getting Kingdom licensed took a lot of work for the teams at @viz.com, so ppl should have the grace to show appreciation instead of posting indignant, reflexive complaints

doronjosama.bsky.social•21 days ago

Seriously, we live in an incredible time for manga releases! I am grateful! I do not miss the days when you'd fall in love with a series only for it to *never be completed in translation*. (Shh, I know it still happens, but let me cry into my Itazura na Kiss and Swan volumes in private...)

landofobscusion.bsky.social•21 days ago

I'll cry in solidarity with my Bastard!!, Apocalypse Zero, Vaizard, & Immortal Rain volumes... plus whatever else I'm missing off the top of my head.

doronjosama.bsky.social•21 days ago

From Eroica With Love and Moyashimon are up there too. Plus, I also cry for things that will never be finished like NANA, Reiko the Zombie Shop, X:1999 (it's all collected but not *finished*), Bride of the Water God (unsure what happened there, but I know there was no ending!)...

landofobscusion.bsky.social•21 days ago

Someone over at Anime-Planet actually did the work of compiling most of (if not all?) the manga (plus others) that never got fully released in English. There's plenty for all of us to cry over, that's for sure.

doronjosama.bsky.social•21 days ago

I was barely into the A's when "A Perfect Day For Love Letters" from Del Rey slapped me in the face! 😭 This is an excellent list, thank you for the link!

samoyedloverforev.bsky.social•21 days ago

Some others that are missing are Viz’s “Crimson Hero” and “B.O.D.Y.”

vimesofthewatch.bsky.social•21 days ago

I'm still hoping for Billy Bat to get an official US release someday.

rosshendry.com•21 days ago

There's at least one more, I think. Iron Fist Chin Mi got a partial English release in the UK many years ago. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironfist_Chinmi I should sign up and leave a comment!

miketoole.com•21 days ago

haha, nope. take it from someone who's been announcing sought-after licenses for years, only for social media replies to quickly fill up with "great, now what about [other title]???"

zephyrworkshop.bsky.social•20 days ago

diebuster WHEN
I'm WAITING

landofobscusion.bsky.social•21 days ago

And it's even worse for manga, because for every 1 remaining anime that's left to bring over there are easily 10-20 manga people could name...

andrecomics.bsky.social•21 days ago

The number of manga some people request and expect pubs to release immediately would fill a pubs schedule for a decade

concretebadger.bsky.social•21 days ago

This must be how bands feel when they painstakingly arrange a tour, only for someone to ask "what about [city name that's not on their list]?" Or shout out the title of a song that's not on the setlist

mach-dent.bsky.social•20 days ago

Also this whenever I get to cut a trailer for something live action/toku.

> literally cuts dream trailer for prestige project

> all replies: “WHEN ARE YOU GETTING MORE”

louelad.bsky.social•21 days ago

This is very true, Kingdom is like a holy grail release & publishers have put out so much good stuff to even consider worrying about them releasing more

andrecomics.bsky.social•21 days ago

I'm amazed it happened given the length and age of the series. Someone pulled some magic to make it happen. Hope more fans appreciate it.

sniperofmyheart.bsky.social•21 days ago

Eyeshield 21 reprint

bearji.bsky.social•21 days ago

Guyver 😔

animemangastudies.com•21 days ago

Eagle!

(again).

annikai.bsky.social•21 days ago

The entirety of Kinnikuman

pc98jr.bsky.social•21 days ago

My "Fuck you, when" title has consistently been Wangan Midnight since 2010

okazu.yuricon.com•21 days ago

I see a lot of Yay! Under the announcement, so that's good.

landofobscusion.bsky.social•21 days ago

Now hopefully most of those "Yay!"s will go on to "Pay!" for it whenever a new volume comes out. I'd really hate for Kingdom to become the next "We want it!... but we have so many reasons for why we aren't supporting it" scenario.

okazu.yuricon.com•21 days ago

Probably many won't, but the first goalpost has been met. People are expressing thanks. Of course some people want more, but many are just saying yay.

cctakato.bsky.social•21 days ago

I think most of the toxic responses are more on Twitter and people are mostly reasonable on Bsky

midnitelibrary.bsky.social•21 days ago

"I'm not going to buy it until it's all available."
You not buying it until it's all available will ensure it will never finish coming out.

okazu.yuricon.com•21 days ago

I understand both sides. Too many of my dollars were spent on series that never ended. Sometimes more than once for the same series.

brainchild129.bsky.social•21 days ago

I also do not envy the localization staff working on it, as they'll be dealing with constant comparisons to whatever scanlation people have been reading as far as names/places/any other proper nouns go.

landofobscusion.bsky.social•21 days ago

So... not much different from just about any other title that has a strong online following, I take it?

cctakato.bsky.social•21 days ago

People are already mad they’re not releasing it as omnibus editions

inobscurity.bsky.social•21 days ago

shimeji simulation

countzio.bsky.social•21 days ago

When's Oishinbo or Golgo 13 re-do

countzio.bsky.social•21 days ago

Or Bartender

Or Bambino

berlitzxv.bsky.social•21 days ago

Man, Bambino would be so good...

exedore.bsky.social•20 days ago

For LNs it's Salad Bowl of Eccentrics, though it's up on Novelous.

burningwildman.bsky.social•21 days ago

i could joke and name a random jump manga that I'D want, but by now i've gotta wonder what's keeping them from licensing saiki k and why people don't seem to go nuttier for its lack of an english release in manga form. has it just been that long since it's been relevant??

andrecomics.bsky.social•21 days ago

I feel like 7Seeds has already filled that position, but if fans need a new unlikely long shot I vote for Akazukin Cha Cha.

sdsd.bsky.social•21 days ago

i'm so grateful for all the matsumoto translations in recent years, but the people won't rest until takemitsuzamurai gets an english release

oneeyeblu.bsky.social•21 days ago

Getter Robo

yurifugu.bsky.social•21 days ago

ippo, of course

deezee79.bsky.social•21 days ago

Kinnikuman and KOR and Bastard rescues.

robafett64.bsky.social•19 days ago

Someone was asking for Grappler Baki, so I'm not as annoyed lol

antonioortega.bsky.social•21 days ago

Billy Bat

bigdebowski.bsky.social•21 days ago

Obviously we now need all 215+ volumes of Golgo 13 XD

ejschuster.bsky.social•20 days ago

Like anything from Ueyama Tetsuro

ejschuster.bsky.social•20 days ago

(I was gonna reply Hajime no Ippo but I decided to double check and this is how I found out it's being digitally released by Kodansha for the last 2 years lol)

neilworms.bsky.social•21 days ago

Surprised that the first Sanpei Shirato we got was Kamui and not Bugeicho which is a more important work...

sapphicsludge.bsky.social•21 days ago

Before Dawn And The End Of The World and Wandering Son full series localization WHEN
