Kodansha really seem to be going all out with their digital releases, I wonder what caused this, since they seem to be afraid to release anything not in their comfort zone digitally or in print.
Both of these look good. |

More digital releases are always good, in my opinion. Since they're so cheap people are more likely to support the series legally. That's what I'm doing with Vanitas no Carte. Now if only Kodansha can properly translate their titles...
Has anyone noticed how Neo Kiseijuu has been listed on Amazon under the title Neo Parasyte m? Did I miss the announcement where Kodansha licensed that? I know they already licensed the one drawn by shoujo manga artists, but not the other one. |

I wish. All of their stuff are at print prices for me. I'd be way more inclined to buy their ebooks if they weren't almost 10 bucks per volume. Instead, I'm just praying some of their digital releases will get printed in the future. |

Viz's Shonen Jump is cheap. Kodansha's digital pricing rivals print pricing in comparison. But it must be working for them, because they keep releasing titles this way--most likely titles that wouldn't get any kind of release at all if it weren't for the digital option. So I'm not complaining! I'm really excited about all the seinen and josei they've released lately-Wave, Listen to Me!, Tokyo Tarareba Girls, The Full Time Wife Escapist, etc. It's good stuff!

So you'd rather have nonsensical Engrish titles like "An Important Conversation Between Me and You", "The Basketball Which Kuroko Plays", "Regarding Reincarnating as Slime" or "The Testament of Sister New Devil"? Or is there some reason you're always complaining about this in Kodansha-related threads but not, for example, Seven Seas ones? |

I'm pulling for Our Precious Conversations to get a print run. Really want it on my shelf next to My Little Monster. I'll wait and hope...

Along with All-Rounder Meguru and finishing up Nodame Cantabile! A physical copy would be good, but beggars can't be choosers. Happy to see more stuff like this. |
