I’m not familiar with this company, but I always welcome new groups who are willing to license obscure stuff.

I like seeing older titles getting licensed. Gives me hope some older ones I'd love to buy are not completely improbable.

I remember that I bought the Nora Comics edition tankōbon of Yamamoto Atsuji's Sinbad manga in the early ’90s.
I think that Mr Yamamoto said the reason why he chose the 'Sinbad' variant, rather than the 'Sindbad' variant, was that he liked Ray Harryhausen's Sinbad films in an article included in the tankōbon. I also remember that I bought back issues of FamiCom Tsūshin at the now-defunct Shosen Book Mart in Kanda in order to read the Nesia!! manga by Yamamoto Atsuji in 1991 or so before ASCII's releasing the tankōbon of Nesia!!. |

AkColl: I wonder what keeps Sukeban Deka from being picked up.

Uh, that company started out as a manga news podcast in 2016 (assuming you have a Spotify account, you can follow them), as stated on the ANN article from April of this year (scroll to the bottom of the article I linked). So yeah, I guess you missed that report so since April, this is their first venture into licensing indie manga. Just to be fair, I never heard of them until that linked article above back in April. But it's nice of this company to picked up a manga from 1989, this is quite a feat for me. |

Love the art style for Sinbad and it’s nice seeing dark skinned characters from back then being designed attractively. Guess Sinbad beat Nadia to the punch in that department.
