I'm sure ANN will put this up sooner or later, but ADVmanga has a ton of new manga acquisitions. Here are 3 I picked out:
Peace Maker Kurogane
Princess Tutu
Mythical Detective LOKI RAGNAROK

Maybe a hint that the anime for the last 2 may get licensed soon?

I just have one question:

Does their Ragnarok aquisition include Matantei Loki, or is it just the Matantei Loki Ragnarok title? O.o *can't read Ragnarok till she reads 6 more volumes of Matantei Loki*

And as to them getting Peace Maker Kurogane, and Loki Ragnarok animes, I think it's pretty damn likely because those are Comic Blade titles, and ADV just got in a contract with them that involves all Comic Blade animations. Princess Tutu though was rumored to of been liscnsed by somone else other then ADV in an interview I posted around here before, along with Stellvia of the Universe, and Scrapped Princess.

Yeah, but the problem is both Peace Maker and Loki are "sequal" series. They were published under Square-Enix originally, though Mag Garden got to rerelease the "first series". I really hope that them using the sequal title means the aquired the first series, because otherwise starting a manga from the middle of a series won't be fun at all.

*hopes they're having no problems aquiring the rights from Square-Enix or whoever they have to get them from*

Oh, I see...
Well...I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say that regarding the Mantanei Loki series...it's going to be handled like the Trigun series. Looks like they changed publishers in the middle of the series? So, the name had to be changed. So, I doubt that they'd start in the middle of a series. I'm sure ADV acquired the entire series.

With the Peace Maker Kurogane title...I'd imagine it'd coincide with the Peace Maker Kurogane anime and be the "sequal" series, then.
