Never in my wildest dreams would I ever have imagined that either Crows or Cyber Blue would be given official English releases, let alone both getting announced by the same company. While delinquent series have become more notable & popular now via titles like Tokyo Revengers & Wind Breaker, Crows is old-school delinquent manga & not necessarily the same type of beast as the more recent takes on the genre. DMP had tried releasing Worst, the next-gen sequel to Crows, back in the early 00s & it sold so poorly that DMP only ever released the first three volumes before giving up on it.
As for Cyber Blue, it's the literal manga that Tetsuo Hara made after finishing up Fist of the North Star, though this time he worked with writers "Bob" (yep, just Bob) & Ryuichi Mitsui in place of Buronson, so it's interesting that we're getting the short-lived manga that Hara did between Fist & Legend of Keiji (which Kodansha is currently releasing). I just really wouldn't have expected anyone to want to give Cyber Blue a chance, as it'd be like giving Iron Don Quixote or Takeki Ryusei (Hara's debut Jump manga & final [Shonen] Jump manga, respectively) a chance. Regardless, I'll definitely be buying both Crows & Cyber Blue, so thanks Kodama! |

Crows is crazy, but Baki seems to be doing ok, so...

Kodama is already making a name for them, which is great. People better buy these.

Glad to see Cyber Blue confirmed. It popped up for pre-order on Amazon and month or two ago but then disappeared before I could order it. Looks like it will be an all-in-one hardcover which will be a nice.

The one delinquent manga I'd love to see is Rookies. I wonder if it'll ever make it.
