You seemingly can't report an error with an entry's title using the button on the encyclopedia page so I'll report this here.
The title should be Even A Monkey Can Draw Manga (manga) as opposed to what's currently there which is Even A Monkey Can Draw (manga). --- The English language company for the Disappearance Diary manga by Hideo Aduma is Fanfare / Ponent Mon (it's currently out of print but due to be re-released this year). Source: http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/WEBSITE/WWW/WEBPAGES/showbook.php?id=8496427420 --- A Patch Of Dreams by Oda Hideji (also licensed by Fanfare / Ponent Mon) is missing from the encyclopedia. I did suggest it through the "add a manga" link a while back but I think it fell through the cracks (or possibly you're just really backed up, in which case I apologise for being impatient). http://www.ponentmon.com/new_pages/english/princ.html There are also two forthcoming manga licensed by Fanfare / Ponent Mon that don't seem to be in the encyclopedia: The Quest for the Missing Girl - Jiro Taniguchi The Summit of the Gods - Jiro Taniguchi & Baku Yumemakura See the above link for a source (once there you have to click on "In the making" - I can't link to the specific page because the site uses frames). |

Fixed.
This should go under non-North American licenses thread. However, whether should it be added with "licensed by" is still under discussion among staffs, for doing so would render the title with bold text in the alphabetical list, indicating its (NA)-licensed status, which can be misleading.
Hmm, you've submitted less than a month ago, and I still have ~600 titles waiting in the line dated as early as last April. Sometimes you add a title, and more "hidden" ones come up, plus errors and "orphans" created in the old days... 
Judging from your love of Ponent Mon titles and the statement above, I'd guess that you are a Mac user and wouldn't call yourself skilled with computers (maybe other than using illustrating and/or photo-editing software), right?

I could be wrong (it has been known) but I was under the impression that Fanfare / Ponent Mon had the English language rights in general rather than just the UK rights specifically. They certainly seem to have North American distribution.
Ah. Good job I apologised in advance for my impatience then... 
Mac user? No. Computer semi-literate (at best)? Yes, unfortunately.
I don't think it's necessarily obligatory to actually be an art ponce in order to enjoy poncey art manga...

I made such an assumption because the URL of most HTML files can be easily extracted with a right-click, even if it's a framed page, unless you are using a single-button Mac mouse (which requires the user to press and hold the function key on the keyboard before clicking on the button, and most Mac users don't even know this maneuver). Furthermore, those who love Ponent Mon titles are usually more artsy, and many graphic artists love using Macs as well. |

Thanks for the technical tips dormcat - I'll be sure to put my new found knowledge to use on the next occasion that I decide to annoy you with Ponent Mon related requests. I plan to get a couple more of their releases next week so it's only a matter of time.
I'm afraid my PC is mostly used as a glorified word processor and whilst I make much of my income sitting in front of it (it's words I get paid to play with rather than images - I'm not sure that constitutes being artsy) I don't pretend to know how it works. |
