YES!! Host Club!! Oh, how I've waited for this day! Anime hyper Let's just hope they don't mess with the sfx--they are so intergrated with the art.

*mouth hangs open in shock and awe*
Whichever Viz employee made the decision to licence Sexy Voice and Robo, thank you. I had actually begin to question whether or not you would continue the Editors Choice line, or actually licence anything with diffrent storytelling/art techniques than what's mainstream. Thank you for proving me wrong. Let's hope this leads to them licencing Kuroda's epic, Japan Tengu Party Illustrated, and his other series of short stories, Nasu (I suspect that they would have liked to get JTPI considering it's epic greatness and more traditional storytelling, but SVaR was what Kuroda did for Shogakukan). Even if they don't get them, the fact that they're willing to take a chance on something like SVaR shows that Viz is still willing to licence things that don't fit within the shonen/shojo demographics. Damn I'm giddy.

Hooray for little known manga! I've heard quite a bit about Sexy Voice and Robo, it seems pretty funky cool.

*Sits quietly and waits for someone to license Stop! Hibari-kun so I can read it already.* Very Happy

I've heard about Sexy Voice being possibly liscensed for a little while now... lets just say I'm amazed :P

Lets support it so it does well and we get more quality titles...

W00t. They licensed a second Miki Aihara title, Tokyo Shoujo Shounen. Unfortunately, it wasn't the one I wanted them to license. Though that is promising for more titles from her to come.

If it's the second Miki Aihara title, does that mean she finished Hot Gimmick?

And how does Tokyo Shoujo Shounen compare to H.G.?

It's the second title by Aihara that Viz has licensed. Hot Gimmick is on volume 11 and still going...doesn't look close to ending. It's been going for over 4 years now...probably her longest series so far.

I, personally, have not read Tokyo Shoujo Shounen. It sounds like your typical Miki Aihara title though. 1 girl, 3 bishounen, soap opera..and such. You should probably buy it if you like Hot Gimmick. Although I've only read two of her works (and would like to read more), she doesn't disappoint.
