Awwww come on, Seven Seas, Nook is a dead platform. I don't want to buy something that will be obsolete in the next couple of years. At least throw Kindle into the mix. This looks like something I'd buy.

YAY!

Though sadly I just looked for 3 I want RIGHT NOW and I don't see them in the Kindle store, Toradora, Blood Alone (I already have your pbs of this which are lovely but want an ecopy too), and The Ancient Magus' Bride (same as Blood Alone). Any word if they're coming soon?

Well, Ghost Diary sounds interesting. The Nook news does nothing for me, as I don't read manga digitally.

Ah, and seeing Blood Alone mentioned makes me sad...too bad that we won't see the end of that series in print/English.

A note about how to defeat ghost left by missing sister? Sounds like Ghost at School with modern touch lol

Darn it I was hoping to finish collecting that in print. Well now a days I can understand why some things won't get a print. Not unlike back when Tokyopop went under, still have not finished Tsukuyomi: Moon Phase. Confused

From what I can gather, with Blood Alone, is that the series lost it's publisher in Japan. Which ended the deal Seven Seas had in place. Seven Seas have already said they won't be making a new deal for the series, and I think that the mangaka ended up going the self publishing route in order to finish the series.

Not a series I had been collecting myself (as it was "dead" by the time I started collecting manga), but definitely one I would've gotten into if I had not found out about it's early demise.

Well, I hope Seven Seas adds more of their ongoing series to the digital platform. Still waiting on Magical Girl Apocalypse and Pandora in the Crimson Shell.
