Each chapter is so short (but a completely realized comedic scene) that this one will feel like a pretty high value-for-money.

Yes! Thank you Vertical! I've really been enjoying the anime. It'll be great to read the original manga!

The manga is a real treat. Smile There is not one chapter in it that isn't to like.

However, I couldn't believe that Ed was originally willing to release the series as a "best of" collection. The best stories from a manga like this would be very, very subjective. Good thing he reconsidered.

Really nice news.

They need to license the SSY novel and I can die happily. Seriously.

I'm kinda 'meh' on the anime, but I think I'd like the original manga better. The segments just seem to drag on in animated form.

The anime is too long?

7 minutes feels just about right considering how short the actual chapters are.

Brilliant news for the US. This series is really something you could recommend to anyone, more so after it's translated.

The girl's commentary is what makes the segments seem long. She does it in the manga too, but I honestly think it wouldn't be as annoying reading her commentary than listening to it.

I think this is gonna be a good year for manga with some of the rescues and new releases. I've had a nice start with the collection finishing off 4 series and getting a couple more within site of completion.

I honestly think the commentary adds to the humor of the episode but different strokes for different folks I guess. Confused
