I heard that too but it sounds like a fabrication/wild speculation to me. Their licence did in fact expire in 2005 (according to their website) and now that I think about it Takuechi supposidly has frozen all licencing of the franchise, which pretty much rules out the possibility of it being relicensed. If they had managed to somehow secure the rights again in the summer they would have announced it at one of the anime cons (or even Comicon).


I'm only repeating what was announced on the news page here so I don't really know anything else, except that usually ANN's news is reliable and not fabrication or wild speculation.


Well there's no news showing up on the encyclopedia entry for the manga, so they could have made a mistake or it just isn't showing up.[/url]

Houshin Engi.

I've been wanting to be able to READ this series for a long time. I bought all 23 volumes at Anime Expo one year and had to content myself with pictures. And later with text translations (sadly from the CHinese, so more was lost in translation than what normally is), and EVENTUALLY I found some scanlations that continued past volume 5 or so, but then I couldn't find them anymore, right when the manga was surpassing what the anime did with the series.

I still wonder if they'll do the reprint covers that recently came out (and thus have fewer volumes in all due to condensing) or the original covers (and thus the original 23 volumes).

ANd of course I'm looking to more of the titles I've already been following.

I'm not that big into manga (yet), but I am excited over the release of Mushishi. I watched the show and was in love, and I've heard a lot of good things about the manga. Also NGE: Angelic Days is a guilty pleasure of mine Embarassed, and I'm awaiting the next volume. Lastly I'm collecting the Eureka Seven manga via the special edition releases of the anime, and I'm hooked and can't wait for volume 4 that comes with volume 6 (of the anime).

Well that's interesting. Still, from the way the article sounds I'm going to classify this as hopeful enthusiasm on TP's part. I'm sure they're trying to get the licence back, which is an uphill battle to say the least considering all the crap surrounding the rights. If ADV can't get the anime's rights back then I'm doubtful that TP would be able to. Still, I suppose they're are always unexpected developments, and if the author/publisher changes their policy about licensing then I'd guress that Del Rey would be interested in publishing it like they did with Parasyte.

What I'm looking forward to...

The next chapter of Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle. The current chapter in Japan to be more specific. Not the English version.

What else? Volume 4 of Moon Boy (manhwa), the last volume of D.N. Angel (if it ever gets published in Japanese, Mandarin, and English), Beauty Pop volume 3 (although I already read part of it back when it was scanlated), and Pink Pearl volume 2. Oh, and Shinshi Doumei Cross's next chapter in Ribon magazine.

Sadly, I might have to agree with that, but I'm still going to share in the hopeful enthusiasm.

Admittedly, I'm also more interested in seeing Clover back in print than Sailor Moon anyway since my experience with the Sailor Moon manga has been not so wonderful as the pacing seems incredibly fast to me.

Oh, something else I'm looking forward to on a personal level: I'm graduating university this year and hope to get a job and thus have money and be able to buy more manga!

I didn't think that sixth volume of Genbu Kaiden had been released in Japan. Hopefully it will be soon because I really want to know what happens next.


The Fushigi Yuugi Perfect World that contains chapters 17 and 18 is out since September (or was it October?), but I speculate that since each volume of Genbu Kaiden contains about three chapters, they're maybe waiting for the release of chapter 19 to fit into volume six.

Star Ocean: The Second Story and/or Star Ocean: Till the End of Time. They released the anime to the second story in North America, but the manga hasn't been released. I hope they released those series because I love Star Ocean.
