Hooray for Crimson Spell being on top of the list, but it's #4 which has just come out. I don't think there's even 11 volumes in Japan yet. The picture is also of a Pokemon volume...

Hooray for Crimson Spell! I believe it should be volume 4, not volume 11. And considering that CS is explicit yaoi, that Pokemon image used for the thumbnail is laughably inappropriate.

What What What?
Crimson Spell is the bestseller!? I think that's pretty cool but pretty awkward as well... I'd honestly like to buy the viewfinder series, but I didn't know they sold Yamane Ayano's work in the US!

But seriously a pokemon book as the cover? I clicked this article cause I saw the thumbnail of CS but then I didn't see it...
Wow just wow

Did some looking around, and that Pokemon manga is a vol. 11, so I guess that explains both errors. Still a hilarious mixup Anime hyper

The Viewfinder series is out in the US from DMP's June line. It should be available from the online retailer of your choice, or direct from DPM at their akadot.com site. I think they're caught up with Japan (V7?), so it's coming out slowly.

And also, Pokemon??? Of all the things to confuse CS with... Smile

Crimson Spell is one of my favorite BL mangas so I'm glad to see it up on top. It's well deserved.

Yes, both the Finder series up to volume 6 and Crimson Spell are licensed, but not up to volume 11 (does it even have that many?). I believe it was a typo...

I'm also chuckling at the Crimson Spell/Pokemon mix-up. Crimson Spell is anything but, LoL. XDDD

Looks like the picture has been corrected, but the volume number is still showing as #11....

Decided to have a look into Millennium Snow, had never heard of that one before. Would've never guessed it had to do with Vampires...

Thing is, did the mangaka just drop it or are they going to be going back to it? Seems like it was left incomplete, so I just wonder why Viz picked it up (unless they did before it went on hiatus?).

The first 2 volumes of Millennium Snow were released years ago, then it went on hiatus in Japan (and thus by extension the US) while the author worked on Ouran High School Host Club. She then went back to Millennium Snow once she'd finished Ouran, and made 2 more volumes of it. Volume 4 will be out soon then that is it completed.
