If you like it, don't forget to support the subsequent volumes. It needs a good Amazon ranking. Marmalade Boy, too.

My copy just arrived! And yes, I already preordered the next two volumes.

So glad we finally have this in English. I just wonder why it took so long!

Just picked up a copy over the weekend and can't wait to read it! Paradise Kiss is an all time favorite of mine

Did Viz announce if they were going to license Tenshi Nanka Janai as well, since it's sort of a "prequel" to the series (since 5 of the characters make cameos)?

This omnibus edition contains all of the original volume one and most of volume two. Even though it makes me a little sad that we aren't getting the original covers, which form a picnic scene when laid out next to each other, this is still a beautiful edition, well-translated and with lovely details like the lacey look of the cover flap in front and plenty of color pages in the back


yeah, found the original seven volume covers and it would've been good to get the picnic scene, what viz is publishing is based on the four volume kanzenban that shueisha did way back in fall 2005 and those covers look fantastic in their own right

No, not yet. They’re probably waiting to see if Gokinjo Monogatari sells well first.

A little lighter than her later stuff, and too analog for millennials, but overall, more satisfying than I thought it would be upon initial perusal. Anyway, I still beseech you to finish Marmalade Boy for Seven Seas, if you want a chance at the sequel. Volume 5 ranks in the 2 million range, FFS...

Yuki: It's short, and the author probably hasn't been paid in a while, if this one finally happened. So good chance. Personally, I think Viz should bring back Kodocha, since the anime is selling well.
