Ai Morinaga is a great comedy mangaka, and it's sad that her stuff doesn't sell well in English (3 publishers took on Your and My Secret and I'm not sure any of them completed it). I don't think she's got an anime adaptation of her manga, either. But I still wish I could check out her latest title legally. Hope she starts a new manga soon!

I think it's more a case of bad luck in terms of publishers than her stuff not selling in English. The first publisher dropped the series, Tokyopop had decent sales for the series but then they shut down & finally JManga finished the series but it was digital only so there's no way to obtain it now. & I think all her other works released in English were by now defunct publishers.

DelRey had put My Heavenly Hockey Club on indefinite hiatus part-way through its run, even before they ceased operations, and Kodansha never picked the series up (or any of her later works), so I've assumed the series didn't sell so well for them. It's a shame, since I do love her brand of humour...
