Yen Press, YOU ROCK! Soul Eater Not, The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-Chan, and Alice in the Country of Hearts!? Yay!

I do hope for the Alice in the Country of Hearts release, however, they try to get out the sixth volume first, in any case just to satisfy the fans that are eagerly awaiting to get that last volume for the series. Although, if the translation is really awesome, I may try and double-dip on the series and get the new release as well.

Interested in Soul Eater Not (although it depends how fanservicey it is) and I think I will go ahead and pick up the Alice in the Country of Hearts omnibuses, which I haven't read yet, but the level of fans' disappointment that TP didn't finish it, made me curious to read it. Way to go Yen Press!

They'll probably do like they did when they rescued Yotsuba from ADV. They'll publish the next one in line, then go back and publish the previous volumes.

As for Nagato Yuki-chan, I'm not surprised. Pleased, but not surprised. They already publish the novels, the original manga and the Haruhi-chan manga, so it only made sense. Same with Soul Eater Not!

From the few chapters I read of Soul Eater Not, it wasn't too high on the fanservice, which is semi-surprising considering the main characters are all female.

Soul Eater Not! will have a digital English release simultaneous with the Japanese publication.

Okay, that's just awesome. o.o Hopefully it'll work out well for them, considering what has happened with Viz and the Rin-ne simulcast.

From @kuriosity: "For the Alice in the Country of Hearts fans, @YenPress will be releasing the whole series at the same time in June 2012 as three omnibus"

Okay, I wasn't sure, because I know the original Soul Eater manga is pretty fanservicey, especially compared to the anime, and Not is classified as ecchi in the manga encyclopedia.

Ugh...that's a little annoying then. Well, I guess I'm just forced to buy all three, since it'd be too awkward having Volumes 1-4, then having to toss Volume 5 in order to have it and Volume 6 in an omnibus. Ah well. XP

I haven’t read the manga, but still glad Yen got Alice in the Country of Hearts before Tokyopop re-open its publishing.

Awesome. I'm glad I will be able to finish Alice in the Country of Hearts. If the Yen releases are nice enough and have color pages I will probably rebuy the volumes I have. So happy to be crossing one off my "unfinished list".

Please please please release the last volume of Alice in the Country of Hearts as a solitary as well... I can't afford to double dip Sad It now also means that Tokyopop can't get it back, and since it was one of their best sellers... Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy
