Glad they're doing Ring X Mama, that's clearly Jouji Manabe's best work yet. Even better is when he does hardcore doujinshi for his own manga, I guess you are allowed to do that, after a statute or limitations is up, so Inazuma, Kentaro Yabuki, Takeda Hiromitsu, and Tony Taka need to get to work doing the same for their projects some day.

Im super impressed by Project-H. The non-yaoi market is so non-existent in America and I am glad they are doing their absolute best to give us as much as they can possibly supply. I am happy to support them in their licensing... Although not all, adult pricing is pretty damn high lol Razz

Unlike hentai anime, Japanese fans buying western releases is far less likely, we don't have soft-typesetting on paper, yet. Even the decensoring doesn't mean as much when it's cleaned up and redrawn instead of just being given a blank and uncensored page. Unless someone with more knowledge can lay it on better, the decensoring aspect is the same as any other editing job when it comes it redrawing behind background text or SFX. So you're not getting "the real deal" as the artist intended like you do with hentai anime, where the licensees receive the raw un-mosaiced video.

I wonder why hentai manga isn't bigger in the states, despite scanlations and Japanese fears, there must still be a decent market for it, even at those prices. If anything it's even bigger and healthier now due to all of the scanlation groups that made some of those titles known in the first place. The problem must have just been poor selection and really old stuff on the market, hentai's evolved and moved on now, even among the serialized professional stuff.

I would love to see ANN report on hentai related acquisitions more often.

Howabout Yui Toshiki's stuff (My Doll House, My Sisters, Yui Shop), or Ryuta Amazume's stuff (Nana to Kaoru/Nana to Kaoru Arashi)? Why not those?

Used to have the first two volumes of Yui Shop. I'm guessing the hentai manga market in the U.S. is too niche to handle full color artbook-sized volumes. Not much text to translate and minimal censorship, so anyone who wanted it probably already has it. I do recall there being an Italian edition, though.

Haven't read the other two titles you mentioned.
