I can't wait for Bloody Monday to come back. I hope "J" has a big role in this season also.

The only legal translations of the Bloody Monday manga that I know of are only available in Singapore from Chuang Yi. Why has a North American publisher not licensed the manga yet? Crying or Very sad Although, is the live-action series available from Bandai?

I don't believe that any J-dorama has been liscensed in the US to this date. Sad

I have quite the wishlist of stuff that I'd love to see brought over tho.

I know Kimi wa Petto is licensed, since everywhere I look to watch it claims that it is licensed and therefor illegal to post. I'm pretty sure the Hana Kimi J-dorama is licensed as well, J-doramas get licensed, it's just a pick and choose few.

Having titles removed from sites like Youtube and Google video for "copywrite" violations is not an accurate measure of the actual liscensing status of a series. I found both of the series you mentioned, Kimi wa Petto and Hana Kimi, available with active torrents from the usual download sources that do not get linked on ann. Very Happy

The only place I've found legit streams of asian dramas is crunchyroll but I haven't REALLY looked. (I prefer being a pirate, yarr.)

Between 1991-2001 of the first 3 Boys Be manga titles, nearly 60 volumes were published. The creators decided they wanted to continues the lengthy is the same that has been for the prequels/sequels/spin-offs that St. Seiya, Hokuton No Ken, and City Hunter have done over the last decade.
