I'm currently buying the original TOKYOPOP editions of Mahoromatic and Lament of the Lamb, as I've wanted to read them since I first saw them in bookstores as an 8th grader in 2006.

I got the TOKYOPOP editions of Pita Ten and DearS last year, all in excellent condition. It's very nostalgic, and I sometimes still wonder what went wrong with TOKYOPOP.

Still, it would be nice if these got a new edition. For example, Seven Seas started republishing Rozen Maiden last year, in an edition I absolutely love.

Does anyone know if you can suggest licensing titles to the current big publishers such as Yen Press or Seven Seas? I don't want to ask Viz, because I don't like the way they translate the sound effects into ugly font. Laughing

Seven Seas has a monthly survey on their site (gomanga.com) that allows you to make suggestions.

The entry for Geniearth mistakenly has the summary for Cocoon.

Geniearth's review by Erica seems to have the wrong star count. Considering the review is not very positive, I'm not sure 4/5 seems correct.


I also think Bolts giving Woebegone 1 star is a bit rough since the review seems more like 2 or so stars but that's just a personal thing as a fan of the series (I don't think the series is amazing but it's good, light fun).

"A Timid Lady Was Turned into an Ugly Cat, but on the Verge of Fainting Is Picked Up by the Most Fearsome Military Duke"

So what's it about?
