Does anyone know if it will ever come out in America? I really want to see the anime, but I don't feel like staying up that late. I like, no wait, LOVE manga and so I was wondering if it's manga version is coming to America.
And if it is, can somebody tell me a release date and the company publishing it? Also, is the anime good? I heard it is.
That's all, thanks.

i read some of it. i felt it is inferior to the anime (which is great). usually mangas that are based on animes arent that great because your taking the collective work of a large team of people and handing it to one person. that aside, i have no knowlege of anyone releasing the manga.
the anime is coming out on DVD this month i believe, so that seems to be your only source for WR. the anime is already a hit, so tokyopop will most likely pick the licence up soon.

what the DVD? the list price is 30, but if you shop around at places like Best Buy, you can usually get it cheaper. ebay is also a good (and cheap) source

Can't you just tape it and watch it later?

I loved the anime to bits, so mainly I'm just collecting the manga because it's wolf's rain. I love the art to it, and they are changing things slightly, but it's still enjoyable. I just enjoyed the anime more. So far no one has licensed the manga, but I wouldn't be surprised if that changed soon.

That means...Is manga done yet?? I have never heard nothing about, and I must mention that I like so much too the anime. Maybe I'm not so informed well, but I don't think that no one is going tu publish the manga. Yeah, but I could be wrong, I wish someone could tell me more...

I can't believe a place where they haven't published Wolf's Rain yet. In Europe is just finishing. Meanwhile, it doesn't have a good reputation here, but I think tonight I'm gonna see a few ending chapters

Nope, as far as I've heard, the manga isn't done yet. I think it's still ongoing in Magazine Z, unless volume 2 was it...

I have both volumes of Wolf's Rain in Japanese (being one of the very hardcore veteran Wolf's Rain fans who loves the series to unhealthy extents) and storyline-wise, I enjoyed the anime a lot more, but the manga's art is very pretty and I flip through the manga frequently just to enjoy the art.
There is indeed a volume 2 (as you may have guessed from the above) that wraps up the manga series. The ending of the manga confuses the heck out of me. It might help if I could read the kanji in the dialogue, though, because I can only read the hiragana and katakana. --; And I don't download scanlations, so I'm left trying to translate on my own.
I'm not sure about the US release, but once it comes out, I'm buying it! (Wouldn't want to disrupt my perfect record of having every piece of WR merchandise, now would I? )

Well...Then, I didn't knew it exists a Wolf's Rain manga...surely...when it comes I'll buy it!! Just for reading it in japanese...wel...the problem is it's a manga for young people, I'm talking between 16 and 26 years old. This people might obviously understand all those kanjis. I hope you can one day read them, but remember that Kana's are a very small piece of japanese language.
Maybe I could help you, maybe not. I'm asking...how do you get the japanese manga?? I'm interested in proving it (unless you buy it from Japan, xDDDD)

I have all of the WR manga translated and I'd have to say it's not that great, the anime is way better.

Did you download the illegal scan? You have both volume 1 and 2?
