No one seems to be reporting about it so just though it might be worth mentioning that Viz seems to have picked up at least part 1 of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure as well as a manga adapting a Shakespeare play.

Whoa! It feels like we don't get as many Amazon license-reveals these days (I think it happened more often with Tokyopop and CMX titles). Exciting! I just read the last two volumes of Otomen, so I'm eager to check out her take on a rather different sort of story :) Thanks for sharing—now we wait for official confirmation...

I really like Aya Kanno, so I'll definitely get Requiem of the Rose King. For a shojo artist, her art is very "cool" especially in Blank Slate.

Yeah.. I had already sent the news to ANN some days ago, strange they haven't reported it, perhaps they are waiting for confirmation?

JESUS CHRIST WHAT!??? (obviously referring to Jojo, not interested in the rest)

My heart almost burst; but the Amazon page is dead. It does seem too good to be true; but looks like it was leaked and Viz is trying to cover it up for numerous obvious reasons; this is BIG news. But that DESCRIPTION! AND a release date! From the "new cover art" line, it sounds like they got Jojonium??? Or maybe they'll be using just the Jojonium covers? Seems to me that lovely price is a little cheap (NOT COMPLAINING!) for Jojonium...but for 1 volume that sounds about right I guess...waiting with baited breath for more news, however long I have to wait...

EDIT: Leaving above message, but never mind, JOJO CONFIRMED! CHAMPAGNE, I NEED CHAMPAGNE! Set corks to POP!!!

Redirect to the Talkback thread, since it will get more traffic.
