I really wish someone would license this, why does it appear to be such licensing poison? It's sold over 1 million copies per volume in Japan. It it just being an ongoing josei that makes it "too risky"? Even in this day and age? And sure, I'd expect JJK and My Hero Academia to outsell it in the west, no question, but there's no need to pretend there's no audience here for quality josei.

I really hope the drama gets picked up on Viki or at least Crunchyroll. I enjoy the manga but I don't follow it regularly, but I do love Tamura's writing.

Feels like josei gets scorned and overlooked a lot by publishers in the West. Pretty sad, especially since they can't really say it's a lack of sales when they don't bother investing in most female-aimed stuff across any age demographic.
