Well this sounds grim, lol. It does make me wonder what other TokyoPop license rescues we'll see; I, for one, would love to see Blame! picked up by someone and re-released.

Suh-weetness, I love this manga, never expected to ever see it mentioned anywhere.

Not mentioned in the summary is that Eve is a boy Judas forces to cross dress who turns into an actual girl when channeling Judas' power

YES! I loved this one, but I could never find all of it. It sounds and looks really grim-dark, but honestly, I loved the story. It's a really nice spin on the whole Judas betrays Jesus story.

Also has one of the most badass looking Jesus character ever.

So, why doesn't anyone just license Sora no Otoshimono already?

So is this gonna just be a straight-up re-release of Tokyopop's version, or is this gonna have a brand-new translation?

YES !! news about one of my favorite mangaka ! I barely read any manga in english and I already read this one from the beautiful new edition that Kadokawa released so I'm not going to read it but I'm still really glad about having news on Minazuki-sensei

I never thought this would get translated. I'll definitely buy it.

As with all of Viz's license rescues from Tokyopop, it will likely be the same translation.

Likey the same reasons many series aren't licensed here: a series didn't do so well in Japan or some sort of rights issues or the publisher doesn't want it licensed here. A digital only release could be more convenient.

My question as well; This isn't the first series to get the "A lesser series by the creator of Sora No Otoshimono. You know, the one with the multiple anime series and movies?" tag.

Watashi no messiah sama, his first series I read, was pretty good too. All I know about Judas was that the guy who occasionally showed up during festivals in Sora was related to that series.
