The encyclopedia entry is The Song For Apollo but the manga has never been released in English with that title. The entry should be titled Apollo's Song (which at the moment is only given as an alternative title).

That title had appeared way before Vertical acquired the NA license. Anyway, I've fixed it now, for the main title should be following the official title of the NA English edition.

Glad to see someone brought this to attention, I certainly wasn't bothered. Good work on the Even A Monkey Can Draw Manga problem too, I thought it sounded a bit strange...

Heheh, why not. Though, it's not as if anyone looks at Even A Monkey or the Fanfare stuff. Well, there's a few on this forum, but outside....
I appreciate it all the same. Cool

Well, we're not entirely alone.
So with you, me, the woman who runs the website I just linked to and the bloke who runs my local comic shop, there's at least four of us...is that enough of us to spearhead a revolution? Wink

Em, sorry to crash the party, but would you mind to use PM instead if you want to conduct some off-topic small talk?

Those are far, far, far from my definition of "overlooked."

It's not a problem so long as you brought your own booze.

I take your point but she's right in thinking that most of those titles deserve more attention than they've been given (in the West) given their quality (and the lack thereof in many titles that have done far better).

I hafta' agree with you, there certainly are manga she's featured that has since gotten more known and popular, like Kekkaishi, Monster, Jojo's Bizzare Adventure, Yakitate! Japan, Slam Dunk! and Yotsuba&. But she has nailed it on the head with some like Domu and The Walking Man...
Baxk on topic... I hope someone, in the near future, brings back Even A Monkey... maybe Vertical...
