Thaks for the link. Ikki definitely looks interesting (is that Koji Aihara and Kentaro Takekuma?).
According to the English wikipedia article, No. 5 by Taiyo Matsumoto is also from Ikki. |

Don't like reading? Bah. Though I guess now we have another publisher waiting for the fourth generation e-book readers that can do more than just text.
... and in New York City no less.
Speaking strictly as to the release model, the rapid-fire-at-will approach didn't work too well for the folks at TP. |

Plus, you have to take into account that North America is a heck of a lot physically bigger than Japan, which means that shipping books to stores is going to cost a lot more, which again makes publishing manga here more expensive (it's also what makes publishing period in Canada more expensive than in the US, because the Canadian population is smaller but more spread out in general, so you have to send less books farther). |
