So now CR's managed to get three publishers, Kodansha Comics, Futubasha, and now Shounen Gahousha to sign! I was wondering if the Kodansha titles were doing well enough on CR to convince other publishers to also publish comics online (*gasp*). Apparently so, good job Crunchyroll!

Like I said on the review for Arpgeggio, if you REMOTELY liked the anime due to your interests in submarines and what not, PLEASE read the manga! It's so much better!

Fuuta Okeya is a normal middle school 2nd grade student. It was supposed to be a peaceful middle school life, but is turned upside down by an appearance of a transfer student, Mizukami Satoshi who has a big scar on her forehead. This is a metempsychosis spectacle story in grand scale!

God damn it.

Ha, yeah. I'll try to give it the benefit of doubt, after all Shakespeare ripped loads of greek writers off, but man is that a generic-sounding premise.

@jet_

Read it anyway, it's totally worth it! I'm just glad it's simulated, I hope that means I can buy the volumes at some point!

It took me a bit to realize, but the transfer student in Spirit Circle apparently has the same name as the creator of the series? That itself is rather intriguing!

And yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay SoreMachi!!!! :D :D :D I am so happy it's back!

definitely don't have time to read all those manga. And i have Shōnen Jump too. Atleast i catch up with Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches.

CR said they are going to have 50+ manga this summer.

Really? How many translators are they going to have to hire to keep up with all that? I wonder if they plan on partnering with the USA/UK/AU/CAN manga publishers?

First nobody was caring about arpeggio but as soon as the blu ray sales figures showed up everybody starting to give a damn, with all the reviews as such and now they licensed it for translation well its a good thing now I don't have to wait as much for the translations to come out Smile

I too am tired of seeing the same premise used over and over again,however this manga in particular is pretty good.

Just want to point out that we at Seven Seas licensed the manga last year and will be bringing the manga, in print, this July. Wink

Also, we aren't involved in this digital distribution. Crunchyroll is using a completely different translation from what we're using for our release. I do hope fans will support not just the digital release on Crunchyroll, but ours as well.

I'm buying it and I have an all access pass, so best of both worlds.

I know it was coming out and am buying it too when it comes out in the summer and I am proud to say it will have the honour of being the first manga series I will ever buy. I hope as well we get another season of the anime in the future or better yet a remake that follows the manga storyline. it is just a little frustrating that nobody was really following it in the beginning not even being highlighted for the fall anime season but it doesn't matter now it has become a success so all is well that ends well
