Damn Viz. I expected 07-Ghost to be in limbo forever.

Hopefully they or Yen nab Future Diary.

Been spazzing about this since earlier when twitter noticed. :] I'm glad I'll finally be able to pick up more of the manga in English (I have the first Go!Comi volume) without having to import the Madmen version~

Also, Simon & Schuster recently listed two volumes of a 2-in-1 version of Loveless from Viz, starting this October. I don't think they had originally mentioned this when they announced the series...

Huh wasn't expecting that but I'm not complaining, I reread a lot of it earlier in the year and realized that yes, I still love this way more than I should and can't wait to pick up more volumes of it.

Very happy about this. I always felt like it had the potential to be a decent seller for whoever had it and I was totally disappointed with how everything happened with Go Comi.

Now Viz has this and Loveless from Zero Sum... Karneval or di[e]ce next please!

Like with Loveless I really want to be happy about this but... It's sort of a meh feel.


This is really nitpicky.... Just VIZ doesn't normally or ever{?} put colored images in their books. Whereas Go!Comi and TokyoPop (For Loveless) did. Sad


At least the rest of the series will be available.

Viz has gotten a lot better with straying true to the original. Tegami Bachi and Blue Exorcist both have color pages. Other series do too, but those are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Story of Saiunkoku has colour pages too. I could be wrong, but I'd assume if the colour pages were in the Japanese release, they'll be kept for the English.

I have some of the omnibus editions of Rurouni Kenshin and those have whole chapters which are in color so I wouldn't count color pages out just yet.

07 Ghost was a series I was looking forward to when I heard it was first coming out , and I literally have all the volumes that Go Comi released, and when I found out there wasn't going to be any more I was heart broken. ANOTHER good series that I probably won't know the ending about. So hearing that VIZ has got the license to this series has got me delighted. THANK YOU!!!! I'm going to totally re-buy the volumes I have and now ever get further than book 3.

Hope they do follow suit with the color pages.


For some reason it has always made a Manga more satisfying when you get the pretty colored images.

Thank you Viz for picking up the license on this title. I was in fear of never finishing it since Go Comi went MIA and I really didn't want to import the Chuang Yi version of this title since it was gonna run me more then I really wanted to pay. Thank you so much VIZ for picking this one up.

I never got around to picking up the Go!Comi edition. I won't make the same mistake twice.

YEAH! I'm going to be buying this too. I watched the anime over at Crunchyroll and it seemed to have some decent world-building going on. The anime left off spoiler[just as the adventure was sort of starting], so I've been curious about this one.
