Is there a chance that someone will pick up the series in English and release the rest of it now that JManga is going under?

No please don't end it! I take it this means spoiler[Akira and Fumi wont be getting back together]. I don't see how this series could possibly have spoiler[a happy ending at this point] Sad

spoiler[I can't say I'm surprised given the recent developments and the nearing of graduation... looks like Shimura-sensei is going to go the realistic route instead of the romantic one Sad]

Is this like the last of the "long-running" yuri series fans have been eying on for the past few years with Girl Friends and Sasameki Koto over as well? What other yuri title could potentially take their place? Morinaga's new School Police? That new shoujo-y yuri manga Citrus? And no, Yuru Yuri doesn't count.

Yeah, I think so. I'm not aware of anything currently running that's longer than a volume or two.

Not unless you count Saki or Centaur no Nayami.

Sorry to hear this, as I really like the series - but it seemed to me the author lost interest a while back after Wandering Son came out. So I'm not really surprised.

Isn't School Police halted on complete hiatus now? Or am I thinking of the Nana x Hitomi continuation which ended abruptly after what, 3 or 4 chapters? Anyway, I remember being super psyched about School Police, but it's been so long since I read the first chapter that I completely lost track of what Morinaga is actively working on.

Oh and yeah.... Prism was cancelled too right? That too was a super bummer. Though times for yuri fans.

"Indefinite hiatus".... because of plagiarism. So yeah, it as cancelled. I think the first volume of School Police just came out recently, I haven't heard anything about it being on hiatus.

I thought the anime was so-so but I might give this manga a shot once it's done publishing this year.

Don't forget the anime has been released in the US under the title of Sweet Blue Flowers.

Well, as long as it's got an ending. I was wondering when this was going to happen. She's working on two things. I guess Wandering Son will run a little longer until we get there. Wonder if both titles will have the same vol. number.

You're probably right, I haven't checked in a long while. But now that you're mentioning this I really need to do some catch up.

It's probably not worth asking if it's good (I doubt anyone will tell me otherwise) but is the quality on par with Wandering Son? I really liked that.
